Soft airy yeast dough for pies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make soft airy yeast dough for pies? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Thanks to sifting, the finished products will be fluffier and softer.

2. STEP 2

   

   In order for the yeast to begin its work faster and more actively, heat the milk until warm. Add salt and sugar to milk.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, add dry yeast and mix everything.

4. STEP 4

   

   Break the eggs into a bowl and pour in the vegetable oil. Mix eggs with milk mixture.

5. STEP 5

   

   Start adding sifted flour into the dough. Don't pour out all the flour at once. Add half of what is indicated in the recipe. Mix it into the dough. At this stage the dough is viscous and slightly runny. Add the second half of the dough gradually, letting it mix into the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the consistency of the dough. The finished dough will become soft and will hardly stick to your hands. Leave it in the bowl. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough has increased in size several times. The yeast and heat did their job.

8. STEP 8

   

   Knead the dough a little and use it to make pies or pies. To prevent the dough from asking for flour anymore, grease your hands with vegetable oil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pies made from this dough can be baked in the oven or fried in a frying pan. And the filling can be as varied as you like. Cook with pleasure!

Sometimes I like to pamper my family with baked goods for breakfast. Since I get up early, this is not too difficult for me. To prepare the dough, I chose a recipe for soft, airy yeast dough for pies. To simplify the process of kneading the dough, I used a bread maker. I first poured milk into the bowl of the bread machine, then poured flour (600 g). Then added sugar and salt. I had active dry yeast (in balls), so first I diluted it in warm water, and only then added it to the rest of the ingredients. Last I poured in the vegetable oil. I set the bread maker to the “Dough” mode. As the bread maker kneaded the dough, I added flour (100 grams each). In total, I used 940 grams of flour. The dough turned out great! It is elastic, smooth, soft. Rolls out well and doesn't tear. This test is a pleasure to work with. The pies rose perfectly, baked perfectly and turned out soft. The dough for this recipe is perfect for pies with any filling, since it is neutral in taste (but not bland). Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe!
