Puff pastry pies in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. We use ready-made puff pastry without yeast. The finished puff pastry is slightly defrosted, if it was frozen, it is enough to let the dough lie for half an hour at room temperature. On the floured work surface, we roll out the dough layer a little, it is not necessary to roll out the dough very thinly, otherwise the pies will not turn out airy and layered.

2. Step 2:

   

   Absolutely any filling is suitable for such a dough: boiled chicken, mushrooms, meat, cottage cheese, meat, greens, cheese and others. I baked pies with cottage cheese, they turn out very fragrant, delicious and satisfying, a great option for a snack between main meals. And such pastries are liked by children, a great way to feed those who do not like cottage cheese in its pure form, with this useful product.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the dough into squares of the same size.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cottage cheese is better to use natural rustic, it is more useful, but, of course, high-calorie, if desired, you can take another cottage cheese product with a low percentage of fat content, the main thing is that the cottage cheese is fresh. Add sugar and vanilla to a bowl with cottage cheese and beat in a chicken egg. The egg is necessary so that the filling is not liquid and does not start to flow out when baking pies.

6. Step 5:

   

   Rub the ingredients until a homogeneous curd mass is obtained. If the cottage cheese was grainy and dry, then you can add a tablespoon of cream or sour cream, and the mass needs to be punched with a blender.

7. Step 6:

   

   We spread a little curd filling on one part of the dough square, the amount of filling depends on the size of the squares, but it is important that during baking the filling does not start to flow out of the pies on the baking sheet. It is better to make small pies, they turn out to be more beautiful and neat in appearance.

8. Step 7:

   

   We fasten the edges of the dough, forming a triangle, the edges of the pies need to be well fastened so that the juice from the filling does not begin to flow onto the baking sheet, you can do this with a fork. Pies can be made of any shape: triangular, round or envelopes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Grease a baking sheet or other baking dish with oil. We spread the pies on a baking sheet. Lubricate them with beaten egg yolk. We send the blanks to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 25 minutes. We take the pies out of the oven, let them cool down a little and serve them to the table, with tea, coffee or cocoa. Bon appetit!
