Semolina pie in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make semolina pie in the oven? Prepare the products. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, it does not matter. It is better if it is at room temperature, take it out of the refrigerator in advance. The same applies to eggs — the pie will turn out more magnificent from warm products. If you did not have time to do this, then hold the eggs in warm water, and warm up the kefir on the stove.

2. Step 2:

   

   Start cooking with the preparation of semolina — pour it with kefir and leave for 30-40 minutes to swell. Consider this time in advance, because the cake itself is kneaded very quickly. Stir the mass from time to time.

3. Step 3:

   

   After the time has passed, start kneading the dough directly. Beat the eggs into a bowl. Start whipping them, gradually increasing the speed of the mixer. In the process, pour in portions of sugar and a pinch of salt. Salt in sweet pastries acts as a flavor enhancer, do not be afraid to add it. Beat the eggs until light and fluffy.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the beaten eggs into the swollen semolina. Mix both masses well until smooth.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour baking powder into the flour, stir it in — this will help the cake rise evenly. Sift flour with baking powder into a bowl with dough. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the cake will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix the flour to a homogeneous dough, it turns out the consistency of thick sour cream.

8. Step 7:

   

   Wash and dry the pear. Cut it into 4 parts, cut out the core with seeds and stems. Cut the quarters into thin slices.

9. Step 8:

   

   Take a baking dish. Any heat-resistant form is suitable for this pie. If you use silicone, then you do not need to smear it with oil. But it is better to lightly lubricate metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baking does not burn. Pour the dough into the mold, spread the pieces of pears on top. I have a silicone mold size 20*9 cm .

    Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 ° C, top-bottom mode, without convection. The baking time is from 40 minutes to 1 hour. It will depend on the characteristics of your oven and the size of the mold. My pie was baked for just an hour, because it turned out to be high. Check the readiness with a wooden skewer — it should come out dry from the middle of the pie. Remove the finished cake from the oven, cool and release from the mold.
