Jam pies in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making the dough.. Take fatter milk, the dough will only benefit from this. Use flour of the highest grade. You can take any kind of jam for pies: apple, pear, plum, apricot. I have a fragrant strawberry.

2. Step 2:

   

   Heat the milk slightly on the stove over low heat with constant stirring. It should be slightly warm, slightly warmer than body temperature. If the milk is overexposed, it will overheat and the yeast in the hot milk will die and the dough will not rise. Therefore, do not throw milk on the stove. For the same reason, you do not need to use a microwave oven - the milk will warm up unevenly and literally in seconds.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour a little warm milk into a bowl, add sugar, salt and dry yeast. Stir the mixture and leave it in the heat for 15 minutes to activate the yeast. If a foam cap appears on the surface, then the yeast is fresh and you can cook further.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a deep bowl, mix the remaining milk and eggs.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift some of the flour into a bowl and mix the mixture until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the yeast mixture. Mix everything well again.

7. Step 7:

   

   Sift the remaining flour into a bowl in parts and knead a soft elastic dough, if necessary, adding a little more flour. But be careful not to score the dough - flour may need more or less than the recipe. The main thing is that the dough turns out to be soft and elastic. Cover the dough with a towel and leave it warm for 30-40 minutes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Knead the dough that has come up and divide it into small identical pieces. I got 20 pieces.

10. Step 9:

    

    Roll out a piece of dough slightly into a circle with a rolling pin or simply stretch it with your hands. It is not necessary to roll out too thinly, otherwise the dough will break and the filling will leak out. Put 1-2 tsp of jam in the center of the mug.

11. Step 10:

    

    Connect the edges of the dough and pinch thoroughly. In the same way, blind all the other pies.

12. Step 11:

    

    Place the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet at a small distance from each other and leave to melt for 10 minutes. If you bake without parchment directly on a baking sheet, then you need to lubricate it with vegetable oil.

13. Step 12:

    

    To lubricate the pies, we need a yolk and a little milk..

14. Step 13:

    

    Combine the yolk with milk and mix.

15. Step 14:

    

    Using a brush, brush the pies with yolk. Bake the jam pies in a preheated 180 ° C oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown. If you need a darker brown crust, it is better to leave the pies in the cooling oven for 5-7 minutes.

16. Step 15:

    

    The jam pies are ready. Cool them slightly and serve them to the table. While the pies are hot, the jam inside is quite liquid, but as it cools down, it thickens slightly. Enjoy your meal!
