Yeast-free pies in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make yeast-free pies? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Butter and kefir should be cold, so you do not need to take them out of the refrigerator until they are needed. Pre-cut the cold butter into small cubes. Use premium flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a large bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place pieces of butter into the flour and rub into crumbs with your hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   Combine kefir with egg, sugar and salt and stir thoroughly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the kefir-egg mixture into the flour crumbs and quickly knead into a pliable dough. At first the dough is sticky, but gradually it becomes more and more sticky from your hands and becomes homogeneous, soft and elastic. You may need a little less or more flour, focus on the consistency of the dough. Read more about the properties of flour in the article at the end of this recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. The dough in these pies is neutral in taste, so the filling can be anything - sweet or savory. I have black currants with sugar.

8. STEP 8

   

   Rinse blackcurrants or other berries thoroughly and dry on a paper towel. Add sugar and starch to the berries and stir.

9. STEP 9

   

   The starch will thicken the filling while baking.

10. STEP 10

    

    Divide the chilled dough into 10-12 pieces.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll out a piece of dough into a medium-sized circle, but not very thin so that the dough does not tear when forming the pie. Place 1 tbsp in the center. l. berries

12. STEP 12

    

    Pinch the edges of the dough and form into a neat medium-sized pie. Form all other pies in the same way.

13. STEP 13

    

    To grease the pies, beat the egg in a bowl with a fork until the white mixes with the yolk.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with oiled parchment. Brush the surface of the pies with beaten egg. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the pies for 20-25 minutes at 180°C until browned. Your time and temperature may vary.

I was looking on the website for what I could cook with blackcurrants and found a recipe for yeast-free pies in the oven. I haven’t baked shortcrust pastry pies yet, so it was doubly interesting. I used kefir with a fat content of 2.5 percent. Egg category C1. The dough turned out soft and did not stick to your hands. I used cornstarch for the filling. I got 14 small pies. I baked them on siliconized parchment for 20 minutes: 10 minutes on the middle level of the oven, 10 minutes on the highest. The pies turned out very tasty. The dough is soft, but at the same time a little crispy. The filling turned out to be sour, which I really liked; you can feel the natural taste of the berries. The next day I had a few pies left, and they were the same as after baking. Maria, thank you very much for the recipe!

I was always interested in whether dough made with kefir or sour cream turns out soft after baking? I only fry this dough in vegetable oil and they turn out very fluffy. But I was afraid to bake it.

Anait, if you roll out the dough thicker rather than thin flatbreads, then it will be soft, and if you make thin flatbreads, and there is a lot of filling, then of course you will get a crispy thin base, but it’s better to eat them fresh, hot, when they cool down - then this is no longer So tasty, in principle, like fried ones. I baked mine solely for health reasons, so as not to increase cholesterol. But this dough is also perfect for frying. It is very obedient and soft.

I made pies and they turned out very tasty. I cooked greens with cottage cheese filling. Before baking, I brushed the pies with yolk. Thanks for the recipe, the pies went with a bang with the soup.

Oh, Irisha, you chose the best filling, and if you added some salt to the cottage cheese, I can imagine how delicious it was with the soup! They turned out beautiful, just a sight for sore eyes! Did you like them? They are already experts in baking)))
