Sweet simple yeast pies filled with carrots

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   In general, sweet pies with carrot filling are on the agenda today. First we put the straight yeast dough. Heat the milk until warm, melt the butter

3. STEP 3

   

   In warm milk, dilute the yeast until completely dissolved, add salt, sugar, egg, butter. Mix it all well, then slowly add flour. If possible, it is better to sift it, then it will become airy, saturated with oxygen, which means the dough will turn out simply magical

4. STEP 4

   

   Flour, of course, is an approximate amount, because a lot depends on the stickiness of the flour. Once the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and form into a ball, there will be enough flour. Cover the bowl with cling film or a regular plastic bag and put it in a warm place. I most often preheat the oven (up to 30 degrees) and let the dough rise in it. If the yeast is fresh, it will take an hour

5. STEP 5

   

   While the dough is rising, let's make the filling. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, pour them into a saucepan, sprinkle with sugar, pour in 2 tablespoons of water and simmer until soft. Finally add butter and mix

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the risen dough on a floured surface.

7. STEP 7

   

   Next you need to divide our dough into 12 (large pies) or 16 (small pies) parts, roll them into balls, cover with a towel and leave for 10 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Lightly roll out the risen buns, put the filling in the middle, pinch, shape into a pie and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. When all the pies are done, cover them with a towel and leave to rise for 20-30 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   As you can see, the pies have risen well. Turn on the oven to heat up to 200 degrees, and at this time beat 1 egg and grease our pies with a silicone brush. Now our pies will be shiny and glossy. Place the pan in the oven for about 15-20 minutes

10. STEP 10

    

    As soon as the pies become tanned and beautiful, take them out of the oven and let them rest under a towel for about 15 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Now you can call your family! Bon appetit!

It’s very good, Yulia, (that’s my mother’s name) that you love yeast dough, but I’m a little afraid of it. Now I'll bombard you with questions. Okay, I'll spare you, but one really interests me. How is it that the pies turn out to be so soft and very factory-made in appearance? When I cook this way (although it happens rarely), I always end up with a dry crust. Did they really soften that much in 15 minutes under a towel? Thanks for the recipe and the answer

They are soft by default and simply “rest” under a towel. To make them fluffy, you need to be careful with flour; overdo it - it will be heavy. You also need to give pies ready for baking time to settle. then they will rise as they should :) try my recipe, and in exactly this ratio of products. I did it many times. So it turns out 3.5 cups (250 grams each) of flour, well, plus a little more for sprinkling a lump of dough. You will just feel the consistency of the dough with your hands once and you will never measure flour again :)
