Often, having decided to prepare yeast dough, we still do not know what the filling will be - sweet or salty. We can often start cooking with thoughts of delicious cherry pies. And when the filling suddenly runs out, stewed cabbage and fried mushrooms are used. Below we will talk about a very delicate and versatile dough for pies and pies. It’s not difficult to make, the products come out rich and don’t go stale for a long time. This is especially true if you are baking several portions at once. Here is a recipe for pies with cabbage made from yeast dough.

We will use dry yeast, it can be purchased in advance and it will calmly await our culinary exploits, lying on the shelf.

In order for the yeast to work, we definitely need a warm place. If in summer it is not difficult to find a warm place, and in winter it is most often a radiator, then in spring and autumn it is more difficult to find the optimal temperature. There are a couple of simple options.

First place the bowl of dough in another, larger bowl. We will pour hot water into it. The water will cool and the dough will rise. As it cools, pour boiling water over the edge of the container.

The second option is not suitable for everyone, but only for those who have a gas oven. I haven’t conducted similar experiments in electric, so I can’t vouch for the results. Turn on the oven and start kneading the dough. Minimum temperature. When you have completely kneaded the dough, turn off the oven and wait 5 minutes. After this, put the dough in the switched off oven. We wait half an hour. Usually the dough rises well during this time, despite the fact that the recipe specifies a different time.

Ingredients:

• 250 ml milk;
• 8 g dry yeast;
• 30 g sugar;
• 1 egg;
• 2 tsp salt;
• 450-550 g of flour (as much as the dough will absorb);
• 50 g butter or margarine;
• 50 g refined vegetable oil.

Recipe for yeast dough for pies, pies and buns

1. We buy thicker milk for the dough. Ideally, this is homemade milk. Pour into a small saucepan and heat to a temperature of 40 degrees. The milk should be pleasantly warm, not hot.

2.While the milk is heating, break the egg into a convenient bowl. First wash it with baking soda.

3. Pour warm milk here.

4. Beat the milk and egg until smooth and lightly foamy.

5. Add dry yeast. They are distributed quite evenly and do not bunch up.

6. Pour sugar on top of the yeast and stir the dough with a spoon until smooth. The yeast immediately dissolves in the milk along with the sugar.

7. Mix the bowl in a warm place, wait 20 minutes. If we did everything correctly, then a beautiful airy hat appears on top.

8. Sift the flour right before cooking. Add half the flour (250 grams) to the dough.

9. Knead the batter with a spoon.

10. The dough becomes more pliable, and the walls of the bowl are already starting to come off.

11. Set aside for a couple of minutes.

12. Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave. Let the oil cool a little.

13. Pour melted butter into the dough, followed by refined vegetable oil.

If you use aromatic oil instead of refined oil, then such dough is suitable exclusively for meat filling.

14. During the next kneading, the dough will settle.

15. Knead the dough thoroughly with a spoon, it is still quite soft.

16. Add the rest of the flour (another 250 grams).

17. Knead the dough. If necessary, you can add just a little more flour. The finished dough should be soft and elastic and stand well behind the sides of the bowl.

The tender yeast dough is ready. In this form, it can be wrapped in a bag and stored in the freezer.

18. Before preparing buns, pies and pies, the finished dough should be placed in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours so that it rises.

Depending on the quality of flour, a different amount is needed each time. During the preparation of this recipe, 520 grams of premium flour were used.

The dough is smooth, elastic, not sticky at all. All that remains is to make some delicious pies.

In my old notes, I found a recipe for a yeast dough called “Air”, which at first glance combines the incompatible - yeast and soda. I rummaged through books and surfed the Internet, read reviews and discussions on this topic. I learned that no one knows how these two components work together, but in Hungarian cuisine such a combination is traditional. And therefore I concluded that until you try it, you won’t understand anything (it’s not for nothing that I once wrote down the recipe). I made it once and the dough turned out just fabulous!
It's with apples

I thought maybe it was just an accident, lucky? Yesterday I made the dough again and baked pies from it. The result exceeded all my expectations - the pies are airy, soft, tender - SUCCESSFUL BAKING. Making the dough is easy and simple, it comes together very quickly, literally in 30-40 minutes at room temperature and does not have a yeast or soda taste.

Yeast dough with the addition of soda "Air"

Will need
2 tbsp milk, 200 g margarine, 3 tbsp unflavored sunflower oil, 2 tsp dry yeast, 1 tsp baking powder or 0.5 tsp soda, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 eggs + 1 egg for greasing, 1 kg 50 g - 1 kg 200 g flour or if for glasses (250 g), then 6.5 - 7.5 glasses.

Advice
It is better to sift flour for dough to get rid of solid impurities and saturate it with air, making the dough more airy and fluffy.
The amount of flour required for kneading the dough depends on the quality of the flour. Flour with a high gluten content is considered the best. For this reason, the recipe does not contain exact information about the required amount of flour.

Cooking method
Dissolve yeast in warm milk, add eggs, salt, sugar, melted warm margarine and stir everything well. To the resulting mass, add half the flour mixed with soda (not slaked) or baking powder, stir well, then add two tablespoons of sunflower oil and add the rest of the flour little by little, stirring well. The dough should be elastic and homogeneous, but it still sticks to your hands. Pour 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil onto the dough and knead it again, just a little so that it does not stick to your hands. Cover the dough with film or a napkin and leave for 30-40 minutes.

If the dough has risen, but the filling is not yet ready, knead the dough, cover again with film and set aside.
When everything is ready, you can start making pies,

Once they are ready, gently brush them with egg. And to make the pies more beautiful and shiny, brush them with egg again.
I really regret that I didn’t write earlier about the temperature conditions and because of this, not everyone’s pies turned out well, but better late than never
Bake the pies at 200 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown. Baking time depends on the oven. If the pies are browned on top and pale on the bottom, then cover them with a sheet of paper and continue baking until the bottom of the pies is done.

Any filling for pies is suitable. But with this dough I liked the non-sweet one more.
