Whey dough for pies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to knead whey dough for pies with yeast? Prepare your food. Butter can be replaced with margarine; this will not affect the quality and taste of the dough. Melt the butter and cool to room temperature. Read how to do this correctly at the end of the recipe. Heat the whey to 36 degrees in the microwave or on the stove. Add a tablespoon of wheat flour and sugar to the whey. Stir everything until the sugar dissolves and the flour disperses.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add dry yeast and stir again. You will find all the subtleties of choosing and replacing yeast in the article at the end of this recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the bowl with the dough in a warm place for 20 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the eggs into a separate container, beat them with a fork until the egg mixture becomes homogeneous in consistency.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the cooled melted butter, egg mixture into the bowl with the dough, add salt. Mix everything until smooth. Pour the sifted wheat flour into the bowl with the liquid. Add flour in parts, mixing the dough well. You may need less or more flour, check the consistency. Read about the properties of flour in the article at the link below the steps.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the dough becomes thick, turn it out onto a floured work surface and continue kneading. The dough should become soft, elastic and stop sticking to your hands. Place it back in the bowl and cover with a towel or cling film on top. Place the bowl in a warm place for an hour.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough should double in volume. Punch it down and proceed to forming the pies. The dough cooks very quickly, so the filling for the pies must be prepared in advance. Read the article at the end of the recipe for how to grease the pies before baking. Bon appetit!

The dough turns out obedient and working with it is a pleasure. This is how I mix yeast dough for pies with yogurt.

I had whey left over from making homemade curds. I usually bake pancakes with it, but today I decided to use a recipe for whey dough for pies. I had more whey than indicated in the recipe, but I did not increase the amount of other ingredients. I used pressed yeast, in an amount of about 20-25 g. I reduced the amount of sugar. I introduced the flour in small portions, “by eye,” so I can’t say the exact amount I used for the dough. After kneading, I covered the bowl with the dough with cling film and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The dough rose well overnight. In the morning, I took the bowl of dough out of the refrigerator and left it on the kitchen counter for about an hour (without kneading), during which time the dough warmed up to room temperature and increased a little more in volume (see photo). With buttered hands, I formed round buns, placed them in the pan and left them to proof. After the buns had increased significantly in volume, I greased them and baked them in a preheated oven. The buns turned out soft and rich, the dough was excellent!!!

Thank you very much, now I’m reading this recipe and I’m surprised... Yesterday I fried pies, and I gave the dough just like that... Well, very successful! True, I also added 1 tbsp of vodka. 80 grams of margarine and 50 grams of refined butter. Very fast and strong, even in the refrigerator.....

The dough is fire! Very tasty and tender! Double the portion, leaving the number of eggs at -2. I put in double the amount of sugar, the dough turned out to be a little sweet for a meat pie -))). I should have put in less. There were slight problems with transferring the pie onto the baking sheet; the dough was too soft. Since it was the first time I baked from such a dough, I didn’t know that it would expand so much, it turned out to be a little bit of dough, but there was a lot of baking! But even this did not spoil the taste. I don’t really eat buns, but this dough is so delicious that you don’t even notice how quickly it’s eaten!
