Pies with red currant yeast

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Necessary ingredients for the dough

2. Step 2:

   

   Lightly beat eggs with sugar

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt and beat a little more

4. Step 4:

   

   Now add kefir (instead of kefir, you can take yogurt, yogurt, whey or just milk with water 50:50)

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix dry high-speed yeast with flour

6. Step 6:

   

   Now we connect the dry and liquid components

7. Step 7:

   

   Add vegetable oil (or melted butter) to the dough last

8. Step 8:

   

   With a spoon, and then knead the dough with your hands. You need to knead for 10-15 minutes, as they say - "until it stops sticking to your hands". I usually entrust this process to the bread maker, she helps me a lot in this!

9. Step 9:

   

   Well-kneaded dough is smooth, even and elastic

10. Step 10:

    

    Now he only has to come up within 1 hour. To do this, cover the dough with a towel and put it in a warm place

11. Step 11:

    

    And here are all the ingredients for the filling. Any currant will do for the recipe: red, black, white or a mixture of currant berries - it will be even tastier! By the way, frozen currants, in my opinion, do not lose their appearance and taste at all, so in winter we can also cook such pies and feel the taste of summer!

12. Step 12:

    

    Currants, wash, sort, free from twigs

13. Step 13:

    

    After an hour, the dough came up very well, even though we did not put the sourdough, but mixed dry yeast directly with flour - after all, we have dry fast-acting yeast

15. Step 14:

    

    The photo shows how airy it turned out

16. Step 15:

    

    Now divide the dough into small balls. From these ingredients I got 25 pcs.

17. Step 16:

    

    That's all ready for modeling pies

18. Step 17:

    

    We knead each bun of dough with our hands into a flat cake or roll it out with a rolling pin - as it is more convenient for you! We spread some currant berries

19. Step 18:

    

    Top - 1-2 teaspoons of sugar

20. Step 19:

    

    Carefully pinch the edges and put the seam up so that the filling does not leak out

21. Step 20:

    

    We put the pies on baking parchment, greased with a little vegetable oil

22. Step 21:

    

    To lubricate the pies, lightly beat the egg, you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of water here

23. Step 22:

    

    Lubricate the pies with egg and they will get a beautiful shiny golden appearance when baking

24. Step 23:

    

    Put on proofing in the oven for about 15 minutes at a minimum temperature. During this time, the pies will rise well

25. Step 24:

    

    Then bake at 180 degrees until golden brown. The baking time depends on your oven. It takes me 30-40 minutes on a gas oven, it's faster on an electric one

26. Step 25:

    

    Ready-made pies lightly sprinkle with water, cover with a towel and let cool. The fragrance is simply magnificent!
