Hi all! I completely forgot about Russian folk pastries. I repent, I will improve. And so today I will talk about how to make delicious homemade pies with meat. Let's take yeast dough as a basis. After all, homemade baked goods from it are much richer than from other types.
After whites and pies with cabbage, this subtype of homemade baked goods takes an honorable third place in my heart. But what am I talking about? Any homemade baked goods always come first for me. My family just love it when I cook it. Eh, I wish I had even more time...
My grandmother cooked them incredibly tasty. She made them so fluffy and soft, like fluff. As a child, I was sent to her village every summer. So, you wake up in the morning, and the aroma of fresh baked goods spreads throughout the entire hut. I jump out of bed and quickly run to the kitchen, and there is a dish on the table, covered with a towel. And next to it is a mug of fresh milk. Oh, how yummy! And my sister, Sonya, is still the same, I managed to remember more than half of it before she caught up. She always got less.
Time has passed, and now I delight my loved ones with delicious baked goods according to my grandmother’s recipe. But when cooked in the oven, they, unfortunately, are inferior in comparison to those that came out of the oven. No, don’t think so, of course they are also amazingly delicious. Just baking, village, childhood, grandmother, fresh milk... Nostalgia!
Well, let's look at our recipes for baking from yeast dough. Fast and not so fast, who chooses which, think for yourself.
How to cook homemade meat pies in the oven?
And we will start with the most classic recipe. This is how my grandmother cooked and how she taught me. They turn out so soft, like fluff. The aroma of childhood, summer and countryside. They can be served with tea, or with milk, as I like. You can just eat without drinks. This is who likes it.
For the dough you will need:
- Warm water – 100 ml
- Fresh yeast (if you have dry yeast, divide by 3) - 25 g
- Sugar - 1 tablespoon
- Flour - 3 tablespoons
Now the ingredients for the dough:
- Egg - 2 pcs
- Warm milk - 90 ml
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Melted butter - 60 g
- Flour - 450 gr
And for the filling take:
- Any minced meat - 300 g
- Onion - 2 pcs.
- Salt pepper
- Egg - 0.5 pcs
1. We begin to knead the dough. Pour warm water into a deep bowl, not hot (!). Add yeast, sugar and dissolve everything well. Then add three tablespoons of flour and mix everything until smooth. Cover with a towel or lid and leave warm for 20 minutes. It should rise up like a cap.
2. Now let's do the dough. Add warm milk, stir a little and add salt. Then break the eggs and two tablespoons of flour into it and mix again.
3. Add melted butter. It should be at room temperature. And start adding flour in parts, stirring with a spoon so that there are no lumps.
Before this, the flour should be sifted through a sieve!
4. When the dough is thick enough, sprinkle the table with flour and transfer it there. Knead lightly with your hands without over-beating it to keep it soft, about 5-7 minutes. Then take a dish, sprinkle with flour, place the dough and sprinkle flour on top too. Cover and place in a warm place for one hour. It should increase two and a half times.
A switched off microwave is not a bad place to be in a warm place.
5. While our base is rising, let's start filling. Finely chop the onion and mix with minced meat. It will be better if you mix it in a blender. Break the egg into a separate bowl and stir, then pour half of it into the minced meat, add salt and pepper. Mix everything.
6. Place the risen dough on the table and lightly knead. To make it more convenient to work with it, lubricate your hands with vegetable oil. Divide it into two parts, set one aside for now.
7. Roll the second part into a sausage and divide into pieces. Dip each piece in flour and roll into a flat cake. If necessary, add flour to the table so that it does not stick to the surface of the table. Place meat filling in each tortilla. Then pinch the edges properly and place them seam side down. Cover with a towel and leave for half an hour.
8. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment and place the pieces there. Brush their surface with egg. Place the baking sheet in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 25 minutes.
9. In the oven they rose and became even more magnificent. The aroma is simply amazing. They look very tasty. There is little dough inside, but they are very soft and juicy. Be sure to please your family with these homemade baked goods.
How to make puff pastry with meat from ready-made puff pastry
There are many options for shaping puff pastry products. We will look at the most popular ones. From the ideas presented in the article above, you can make something more sophisticated. For example, serve fragrant meat pies in the shape of a rose.
To do this you need to roll it out very tightly. Trim it evenly on 4 sides, not reaching the middle. Place the filling inside. And alternately tuck the edges, forming petals.
It turns out to be a cute bud. In order for the product to retain its beautiful shape after baking, you need to carefully seal all the edges.
Another option for sculpting roses. We also divide the juice into 4 parts and add the filling inside. And now we mold the edges not one by one, but two at a time from opposite edges.
In this case, each side needs to be tucked. The result is a more open pie. It even looks a little like a shangu.
You can also make products in the shape of water lilies. To do this, roll out a layer of dough. We put meat inside. And we begin to lift and connect all the edges together. It turns out that all the cuts remain at the bottom, and there is a flat round surface on top. This surface can be cut in the middle with a sharp knife into 4-6 parts. It looks like petals. I like it better with 6 parts.
You can roll the pie into a bagel or a ring.
We quite often form products in the form of triangles. There's nothing complicated there. You just need to connect the opposite ends when sculpting. And everything is ready.
These pies are definitely worth a try! They are easy to prepare, so novice housewives can definitely handle them. At the same time, the products turn out tasty and juicy. I did my best and described every step of their creation in detail. Therefore, I would be grateful if you bookmark the article or leave a comment.
