Yeast-free pies in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make yeast-free pies? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Butter and kefir should be cold, so you do not need to take them out of the refrigerator until they are needed. Pre-cut the cold butter into small cubes. Use flour of the highest grade.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour into a large bowl.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the pieces of butter in the flour and rub them into crumbs with your hands.

4. Step 4:

   

   Combine kefir with egg, sugar and salt and mix thoroughly.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the kefir-egg mixture into the flour crumbs and quickly knead the pliable dough. At first, the dough is sticky, but gradually it comes off more and more from the hands and becomes homogeneous, soft and elastic.

6. Step 6:

   

   Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

7. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is cooling, prepare the filling. The dough in these pies is neutral in taste, so the filling can be any - sweet and unsweetened. I have this black currant with sugar.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wash black currants or other berries thoroughly and dry them on a paper towel. Add sugar and starch to the berries and mix.

10. Step 9:

    

    Starch will thicken the filling during baking.

11. Step 10:

    

    Divide the cooled dough into 10-12 pieces.

12. Step 11:

    

    Roll out a piece of dough into a medium-sized circle, but not very thin, so that the dough does not break when forming a pie. Put 1 tablespoon of berries in the center.

13. Step 12:

    

    Pinch the edges of the dough and form a neat medium-sized patty. Form all the other pies in the same way.

14. Step 13:

    

    To lubricate the pies, beat the egg in a bowl with a fork so that the protein mixes with the yolk.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put the pies on a baking sheet covered with oiled parchment. Lubricate the surface of the pies with beaten egg. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the pies for 20-25 minutes at 180 ° C until browning. Bon appetit!
