Cheesecakes with jam or jam from yeast curd dough
Typically, cottage cheese in this type of baking is always used as a filling. What if you prepare it using cottage cheese as an ingredient for preparing the dough. And for the filling we will have thick jam or marmalade. Will you say that you have no idea what will come of this?
And I will tell you that you will get delicious baked goods from very tasty dough. By the way, it can also be used for baking rolls, buns and even Easter cakes. So take note of the recipe, you don’t often see this kind of dough in descriptions.
We will need:
- flour - 600 g (4 half cups, 160 g in a glass)
- live yeast - 50 g
- egg - 2 pcs
- butter 82.5% - 100 g
- milk - 180 ml
- cottage cheese - 250 gr
- sugar - 150 g (6 tablespoons)
- vanillin - on the tip of a knife
- salt - a pinch
For filling:
- thick jam or marmalade - 500 -650 gram jar
- egg for greasing cheesecakes - 1 pc.
- vegetable oil - for greasing the baking sheet
Preparation:
Preparing cottage cheese yeast dough is essentially no different from preparing regular yeast dough. But let's look at how to do it together.
1. The first thing to do is prepare the dough. For this we need lukewarm (not hot!) milk. It is best to warm it to the desired temperature in a water bath.
2. Crumble the yeast into warm milk with your hands, add two tablespoons of sugar and 3 - 4 tbsp. spoons of flour. Stir until lumps disappear. If they don’t separate well, you can use a whisk. But don’t knock it down, just mix it.
3. Place in a warm place for approach. You can cover with a napkin or cling film. Through it you can see how the dough rises.
If the yeast is fresh, then 10 - 15 minutes of rising time will be enough for the dough. Within 3 minutes, bubbles will become visible on the surface, the yeast will begin to “wake up”, and then a lush “cap” will appear on the surface, and the amount of dough will increase two to three times.
This is a signal that she has approached and you can move on.
4. While it is rising, you need to sift the flour twice. This is an important stage and should not be ignored. With this procedure, the flour is saturated with oxygen, and the finished dough will be tender, fluffy, with a lot of holes inside.
5. You also need to make cottage cheese. It can be punched with a blender, or rubbed through a sieve. This is especially important if the cottage cheese has a coarse grain structure. Large grains are heavy and will make it more difficult for the dough to rise at each stage.
Therefore, it is important to help him with this.
6. Eggs and butter must be removed from the refrigerator in advance. Again, to make the dough easier to rise. We heated the milk, but it is better to have the eggs and butter at room temperature. In addition, to prepare the dough we will need slightly melted butter.
If the oil is 82.5%, then it becomes soft very quickly at room temperature. And to speed up the process, it is better to cut it into cubes.
7. Beat two eggs with sugar with a whisk or mixer, add a pinch of vanillin, or you can replace it with vanilla sugar, which you need to add a spoon, and even two, naturally, a teaspoon.
Also add a pinch of salt. There’s no way without her. Mix everything thoroughly.
8. Add prepared cottage cheese and then melted butter. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
9. Add the dough that has arrived at that time to the resulting mass. Mix.
10. Gradually add flour, preferably in parts, adding it half a glass at a time. Mix the dough well each time.
11. When it becomes difficult to do this with a spoon, continue kneading with your hands. Knead for at least 7 minutes, by this time the dough will no longer be so sticky, it will stretch less and come away easier from your hands. When there is very little dough left on your hands, you can stop.
This means the dough is ready. Make sure that there is no flour left on the walls of the bowl in which the dough is kneaded. Collect it in time and mix it into the dough.
For better rise of the dough, it is necessary that the walls are not covered in flour.
12. Gather the dough into a large ball, cover with a napkin or cling film and leave to rise. It will take an hour to an hour and a half to rise. The fresher the yeast, the shorter the time.
13. When the dough increases in volume, knead it thoroughly, releasing all air bubbles. Then cover again with a napkin and leave to rise again for another hour and a half.
It happens that it takes less time to rise. Monitor not the time, but the state of the test. If it has increased to the desired volume, then proceed to the next stage.
14. When the dough has risen a second time, knead it well again. And form blanks for future cheesecakes. To do this, divide the dough into balls of equal size. From this quantity I got 16 - 1 7 pieces.
You can simply tear off the required amount of dough from the main piece, which is called by eye. And form the blanks in this way.
15. Grease a baking sheet generously with vegetable oil. Place the blanks on it, I lay out 9 pieces, then stretch them with your hands, forming small cakes. Leave a distance between them, they will stand, disperse and rise.
16. Place thick jam or marmalade in the middle; you will need about two tablespoons for each piece.
17. Leave to rise in a warm place. By then you can put the oven on to warm up, we will need a temperature of 180 degrees.
And place the baking sheet on the stove. The heat from it will allow the dough to rise faster.
18. When the cheesecakes have risen, carefully brush the jam-free part of the dough with beaten egg. You can use a silicone brush for this. But do not press too hard so that the dough does not fall off.
The cheesecakes rise very quickly. After about 15 - 20 minutes they can already be put in the oven.
19. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until beautifully golden brown. Then remove from the oven, let stand for a while, then transfer to a dish and serve with tea.
The dough turns out simply excellent, fluffy and very tender. It’s simply impossible to get enough of them; every time you eat one of the cheesecakes, your hand involuntarily immediately reaches for the second one.
Shangi with potatoes made from yeast dough, like grandma's
In the Urals they love to bake unsweetened cheesecakes, and they are very affectionately called “shanezhki”. They are prepared from unleavened yeast dough in water. You can make the dough yourself or buy it at the store.
You will also need to prepare mashed potatoes. We have already discussed how to do this in one of the articles.
Otherwise the recipe is very similar to the previous one. And so I decided not to repeat myself, but simply include a video in the article so that you can clearly see it.
In this video recipe, the author kneads the dough in a bread machine. Very convenient, no need to fuss with it. In addition, you can prepare it at the time you need. Let's quickly see how to cook shanezhki.
Delicious!!! We often prepare shanezhki at home. We love to eat them piping hot, straight from the oven, while they are still hot. And as a rule, we eat it all at once, without leaving any traces. Yes, this is not surprising! What could be tastier than homemade cakes?!
And the next cheesecake will be completely unusual!
Royal cheesecake
Royal cheesecake is not the standard small buns that everyone is used to. This is a real pie with a healthy filling. It’s not difficult to prepare, and the end result is an excellent, aromatic dish that you wouldn’t be ashamed to serve to your holiday guests.
To prepare this pie you will need:
For the test:
• Flour – 250 g • Sugar – 100 g • Butter (as an option, you can use margarine) – 150 g
For filling:
• Medium fat cottage cheese – 0.5 kg • Soda – ¼ tsp. • Vanillin – a pinch • Sugar – 100 g • Egg – 3-4 pcs • Salt – ½ tsp.
First, grate the butter. You can also simply chop it with a knife. To make things easier for yourself, you can freeze it first in the freezer. Then add sugar and flour to the butter.
You need to grind everything thoroughly – you should get fine crumbs. 2/3 of this mass should be placed in a baking container, compacting it there with your hands. You definitely need to make a side.
Next comes the filling - mash the cottage cheese until it becomes homogeneous. Add soda, salt and vanillin to it, add sugar. Then it's time for the eggs.
Mix the mixture thoroughly - focus on the density of the filling: it should be like thick sour cream. Pour it into the prepared pan.
