Yeast pies made from dough with milk in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake fluffy yeast dough pies with milk? We will prepare the dough using the fastest method known to me, which has worked well. Sift the flour into a bowl, add yeast, sugar, salt, pour in warm milk and melted butter, beat in the egg. You can heat the milk to 60 degrees and dissolve the butter in it, just as the milk cools down to the desired temperature of 40 degrees - this will save even more time.

2. STEP 2

   

   Knead the dough with a mixer fitted with the dough attachment at first speed. It took me 1.5 minutes. The dough turned out soft and came away from the sides of the bowl well. The batch is over.

3. STEP 3

   

   Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover with cling film and leave in a warm, draft-free place for 40 minutes to rise. I usually place the dough near the lit stove.

4. STEP 4

   

   After the allotted time, the dough should rise well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take it out of the bowl and divide it into 6 equal parts. I pinched off a piece and weighed it on a kitchen scale - each piece came out weighing about 65 grams. We don't need flour.

6. STEP 6

   

   We knead each piece with our hands into a flat cake, spread the filling and pinch the edges, forming a rectangular pie. I used minced meat filling, but any filling will suit this dough: both salty and sweet. It can be stewed cabbage, liver, meat, mushrooms, rice, cottage cheese, fresh berries, jam, apples, etc.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the formed pies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper; no need to grease. Cover them loosely with cling film and leave to proof for 15 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the film and grease the pieces with a mixture of egg yolk and milk.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes until browned. Bon appetit!

The pies are excellent - soft and fluffy! I also like the version of yeast dough with kefir.

I decided to bake apple pies. I liked this recipe for its description. I made yeast pies from dough with milk in the oven, doubling the amount of ingredients. I usually knead the dough with my hands, but here, according to the recipe, I kneaded the dough with a mixer for the first time and I really liked this method. Convenient, fast and simple. I kneaded the dough strictly according to the description in the recipe and put it in a warm oven to prove. Then I divided the dough into 12 parts. The dough is excellent, it is easy and convenient to work with, it does not stick to your hands at all and forms perfectly. I wrapped the apple filling, pinched it and brushed it with yolk. Bake after proofing for 20 minutes. The pies came out rosy and very appetizing. Even though I put starch in the filling, it still leaked out a little, but it didn’t affect the taste. This recipe makes excellent yeast pies. They are tender, soft and airy. Good recipe! Thanks a lot to the author!

The recipe was very interesting, I decided to try it. The pies turn out very tasty, airy, but there is one thing: the dough sticks very much to your hands. You can’t do without flour to work. In my opinion, a lot of yeast is indicated. 20 g for this amount of dough is a lot. I added 10 g each and it was a lot. It ferments very strongly, in 30 minutes the dough increases 4-5 times in size. I’ll try 3-4 g or even less for such a batch, and I’ll probably need to add more flour, about 20-30%, so that it doesn’t stick to my hands. I made it with jam, fresh cherries, rice and eggs, and potatoes. It turns out amazingly delicious. Thanks for the recipe. I will bring it to mind, using my own flour and yeast. I brushed the top with yolk and sour cream. This results in a smoother and more beautiful coating than with milk.
