Sweet pies made from yeast dough

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make sweet pastries from yeast dough in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. The filling for such pies can be any fruit or berries. The milk should be warm, but not hot.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the dough, mix warm milk (35-38 degrees) with salt, sugar and yeast. The milk should be warm, but not hot, otherwise the yeast in it will die. Read more about the intricacies of working with yeast in a separate article. There is a link to it at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Stir in 1/3 of the flour and leave to stand for a while until bubbles begin to appear on the surface. This means that the yeast has begun its work.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then add melted butter (not hot!) and eggs to the dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sifted flour and knead the dough. You may need a little more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Therefore, be guided by the consistency of the finished dough. You can read more about the properties of flour by following the link at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   The dough turns out soft and does not stick to your hands. Place it in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

7. STEP 7

   

   At this time, prepare the fillings for sweet yeast pies. For berries, I take 200 grams of frozen cherries and lingonberries. Let them melt a little so that the juice appears. Mix them with sugar (100 g each) and starch (1 tbsp each) and put on fire. If the berries are fresh, remove the pits from the cherries. Remember the berries themselves a little so that the juice appears.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bring the filling to a boil while stirring constantly. If you want a more uniform filling, you can grind it with an immersion blender. It will thicken when heated. Cool the finished fillings completely.

9. STEP 9

   

   You can also make the filling from fruits. I take apples. But you can take pears, apricots or plums. Core the apples and cut into cubes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Melt butter in a frying pan and add sugar. Place the chopped apples and simmer for 5-7 minutes to evaporate excess moisture. Then cool the filling.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remember the finished dough and divide it into pieces. The smaller the pieces, the more pies there will be. But then they will be small!

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the prepared fillings onto the dough flatbreads. Pinch the edges and form into pies.

13. STEP 13

    

    Cover a baking sheet with parchment and place the pies. For information on how to choose the right parchment, read the article about parchment, the link is at the end of the recipe. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes. Then brush the top of the pies with egg yolk and place in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20-30 minutes. Be guided by your oven.

14. STEP 14

    

    The finished pies will increase slightly in size and become rosy and fragrant. Remove them from the oven and cool slightly. Bon appetit!

I baked sweet pies from yeast dough for tea. My filling is apple, we like it best. I removed the skin from the apples to make the pieces more tender. Simmered in butter and sugar until slightly translucent. I kneaded the dough exactly according to the recipe, it turned out pleasant to work with, not sticky. It took about 40 minutes to arrive in a plastic bag; it was very hot in the kitchen. It is easy to form pies from it. In the oven, my pies didn’t spread and the filling didn’t run off. To obtain a golden brown crust, I mixed the yolk with a spoonful of cream and brushed the top of the products. The pies are wonderful! The dough is rich, fluffy, soft, baked perfectly. Combined with fruit filling it’s just fire! I recommend baking this summer delicacy for your family!
