Jam Pies

We prepare the dough on sourdough. To do this, we heat the milk in a glass to 30 degrees, you can do it in a microwave oven. Dissolve the dry yeast in the milk, add a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of flour, mix everything thoroughly until smooth. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. Bubbles and foam should appear on the surface of the sponge.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a water bath and cool it to room temperature.
Pour the sifted flour into a bowl, add salt, the remaining sugar, beat in the egg, pour in the melted butter (we leave part of the butter to lubricate the finished product) and the sourdough. Mix everything and knead the elastic dough, slightly sticking to the hands.
Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and put it in a warm place for 2 hours. When the dough rises, we crumple it and let it rise again.
We spread the dough that has come up on a floured surface, form a tourniquet and cut it into small pieces. We roll each piece into a ball. The ball is rolled into a small cake. In the middle of each, spread a little jam with a spoon so that it does not tear the dough and does not flow onto the baking sheet. We pinch the edges, forming a pie.
We spread the pies on a greased baking sheet, leaving a space between them.
If you bake a lot of pies, then you can spread them out more tightly, then during baking they will connect, forming a kind of "collapsible" large pie consisting of small ones. These are especially liked by children. Let the pies stand on a baking sheet in a warm place while we warm up the oven to 180 degrees.
Grease the pies with melted butter and put them in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, focusing on the work of your oven.
We take it out, grease it with melted butter, let the pies cool down a little, because you can get burned with hot jam filling, and serve it to the table.
Have a nice tea party!
