Fried pies in a pan: recipe step by step with ph

Note: a slightly different recipe is used for oven-baked pies. This one below is ideal specifically for pan-fried dough.

With all my heart I wish your household delicious pies! It is such a pleasure to bite off a hot pie with a slightly crispy crust while scalding, wash it down with fragrant tea with milk or cocoa.

Recipe:

  • 250 ml milk
  • 250 ml water
  • 2 chicken eggs
  • 20 g dry yeast or 40 g raw
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 kg of flour (it may take a little more or less depending on the density of the flour itself or the humidity in the room)
  • vegetable oil

We start kneading the dough

We measure out 250 ml of water and 250 ml of milk. The resulting mixture of liquids should be warm. I usually mix cold milk from the refrigerator with hot water - I get a warm base for our dough at the exit, which is exactly what we need.


For the dough, I use both dry and raw yeast. To prepare a dough for pies with dry yeast, you will need 2 bags (20 g) of yeast. If you will be using raw yeast, use 40 grams.


We check the yeast for performance: dilute with 1/5 cup of warm water and a teaspoon of sugar. We leave for 5-7 minutes. If the yeast is fresh, of high quality, after a short period of time you will see a fluffy foam head. I always check absolutely all yeast bags, even recently purchased ones, with a good expiration date on the package.


The frothy head is ready to leave the bowl - this is exactly the result of the yeast action we need. Pies - to be!


Drive two eggs into a large bowl, pour warm milk.


Add well suited yeast.


Mix well, add salt. Then, little by little, we begin to add well-sifted flour.

Note: Never add all the recipe flour at once. This way you can avoid mistakes. Depending on the density and type of flour, less / more of it may be required. It is better to add flour gradually, focusing on the consistency of the dough.

We begin to knead the dough by hand, gradually adding the sifted flour.


As a result, the consistency of the dough should turn out to be elastic, rather steep - not to stick to your hands. We pick up the palm of the vegetable oil, knead the dough and cover with a towel.


The best thing yeast dough for fried pies (however, any yeast dough) is suitable in a warm, humid place without a draft.

On the Internet, you can find a huge number of ways to "raise" yeast dough: some housewives even pour a bath of hot water to create a humid warm environment in the bathroom and bring the dough into the room for proofing.

I get by with soaking a towel in hot water and wringing it out well, cover the dough. Then I put the dough into the oven. Naturally, when the oven is off), the dough is in such conditions for 1 hour and rises perfectly. You can put yeast dough on a sunny windowsill, just keep the window closed - yeast dough doesn't like drafts!

This recipe can be used to prepare delicious, as well as other homemade cakes.

After 1 hour, we look under the towel and see - the dough has more than doubled in size! Today the dough came up so well for me that the top remained on the towel and appearance on the photo leaves much to be desired. Sorry for the unpresentable look.


We spread the dough on a surface dusted with flour, knead it. We leave for another 20 minutes.


Then pour vegetable oil into the palm of your hand and pinch off small balls from the dough. Each ball is a future pie. The surface on which you spread the balls of dough should also be greased with vegetable oil or sprinkled with flour.


We leave the balls "to rest" for another 15 minutes, meanwhile we are busy with the filling.
So, the dough is ready to bake!
Use our fingers to flatten the koloboks into flat cakes, apply the filling. For example, today we will have pies with potatoes.


We pinch the pies without leaving holes in the dough. The pies are oval, elongated, which can be inconvenient when baking - they spin. But if you put the pies more tightly, there will be no such problem.
Fry the yeast pies in a deep frying pan with vegetable oil.
Attention! The vegetable oil should be well heated. You can check the readiness of the oil for frying in a simple way: Dip a piece of dough the size of a large pea in the oil - if it immediately pops up and starts to fry, then the oil is hot, you can lower the pies.


It will take about 5 minutes over medium heat to beautifully fry the pies on each side.


You can try the pies!


It looks like a cutaway pie


I will answer frequently asked questions about this recipe:

For pies and pies in the oven, I use a different dough recipe: with the addition of sugar, milk, butter (without water). It performed better when baked in the oven. Many friends tried to use the recipe for this dough for pies in the oven, but due to the fact that the dough rises well, and the baking time is longer than in a pan, the pies grow very much in size, burst, the filling flows out.

How many fried pies are made with this amount of dough?

The number depends on the size of the pies, I get 28-30 (I make it large enough, as you can see from the photo). If you make them small and neat, you get about 40 pieces.

How long does it take to fry the pies?

In well-heated oil, the pies are fried very quickly, no longer than five minutes. We put our pies in the heated oil - as soon as the bottom turns red, turn it over! This recipe makes the fried pie dough “bubbly” and slightly crispy.

A newbie question that I found very important:

Do I need to fry the pies right away, can I first stick it on using all the dough, and then fry?

If you stick the pies and leave them on the table, the dough will continue to come up. If you take the pie in your hands, it can fall off, break, the filling will fall out. Therefore, it is recommended to sculpt pies from 4-5 pieces (how much fits in the pan) and fry them immediately. There are such recipes for fried pies, when pies are put on proofing, but in this case it is not needed (our dough was already quite suitable).

If the apartment is cold, will the dough work if the oven is off?

In case of coolness in the apartment, it is better to put the yeast dough in a water bath for proofing. An example of organizing such a bath is shown in the photo (taken from the Internet). Put a bowl of dough in a large bowl of warm (close to hot) water, cover our structure with foil.

What dough to cook for fried pies

What the pies will look like depends largely on the dough and the chosen filling. How correctly the ingredients are selected, what temperature is selected for frying. To knead the dough according to a certain recipe, you need to guess in advance what the filling will be, because each specific type of dough does not find an ideal combination with any products.

Test types

To prepare fried pies, knead:

  • yeast (sponge, bezoparnoe);
  • unleavened butter dough.

Each type of dough has its own characteristics of preparation, includes different ingredients.

Classic yeast dough recipe

Most often, yeast dough is used in the preparation, the classic preparation of which is as follows: 15 ml of water is slightly heated, a quarter of a five-gram package of dry yeast is poured into it, 30 grams of sugar are added. The yeast should stand a little and swell slightly. Cover the cup with these ingredients for 20 minutes with cling film, leaving in a warm place. After, when the liquid is covered with a foamy head, add the rest of the ingredients.

Separately, combine a chicken egg with 110 ml of warm milk, 10 grams of vegetable oil, a pinch of salt. They are introduced in small portions into the yeast mass, stirring, add flour in the volume of a glass. Depending on the quality and variety, flour, you may need a little less, more. The dough is kneaded on the table, it should stick well from the table, hands, be elastic, soft, not too “tough”.

Leave the yeast dough to rise, cover with a clean cloth towel, in a warm place. After about an hour and a half, perhaps earlier, the dough will rise with a hat, it's time to interrupt it and you can start forming the pies.

Unleavened pastry

Taking a glass of yogurt or sour cream, add 50 grams of softened butter, margarine, a teaspoon of sugar, half a teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt to it. Stir. Add about 3.5 glasses of wheat flour, knead the dough.

Butter dough without yeast should lie a little, for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator in cling film, after which it can be used to form and fry pies.

Which dough is better with which filling?

It is impossible to say definitely which dough for fried pies is better, it all depends on tastes. However, pies are fried most often on yeast dough. It finds the perfect combination of taste with different fillings, including with:

  • meat;
  • potatoes;
  • cabbage;
  • carrots;
  • eggs and herbs;
  • jam;
  • fish;
  • liver;
  • mushrooms and rice.

After frying, the yeast dough is surprisingly tasty, so it is quite possible to make “no filling” pies from it. To do this, after rolling out the cake, grease the dough with vegetable oil and lightly sprinkle it with sugar, form it "on its side", like pasties and fry on both sides, like ordinary pies. It turns out delicious, a kind of puff.

Unleavened dough in this regard is not inferior to yeast dough and on its basis you can cook pies with eggs and herbs, mushrooms and rice, potatoes, carrots, jam and jam, even with meat and fish. Only now, if the pies are sweet, then you can put a little more sugar in the dough.

The nuances of making dough

Reading only recipes and strictly following them, it is not always possible to knead good dough and bake delicious pies. The thing is that dough preparation has some peculiarities. For example, when kneading yeast dough, you need to remember that:

  • water, milk must be heated to at least 40 ° C, but not more. Overheating will destroy the yeast, as well as hypothermia, the dough will not fit well;
  • the dough will fit as expected only in a warm place where drafts do not fall;
  • the cup with the dough must be covered with a film, a cloth towel so that the top is not covered with a crust.

But, when forming pies from unleavened dough, it is best to keep the main piece of dough in the refrigerator and take small pieces from it.

Topping for fried pies

Considering how varied the fillings of fried pies can be, each housewife will quite choose something to her taste.

Variants

Sweet fried pies can be prepared on the basis of dried apricots, ordinary fruit, berry jam, cottage cheese, jam, apples, carrots, dried fruits. For savory products, rice filling with mushrooms, meat, cabbage, egg with herbs, liverwort, potato are suitable.

How to prepare

Preparing the filling for fried pies is easy:

  • Dried apricot filling. Take 500 g of fresh dried apricots, chop finely, sprinkle with sugar to taste, add a little cottage cheese if desired.
  • Rice stuffing with mushrooms. After boiling 100 g of ordinary round rice until cooked, mushrooms are added to the cereal. Suitable, for example, podpolnikov, fresh, salted, it does not matter. Mushrooms are finely chopped, fried with onions in vegetable oil, salted (if necessary), pepper. Combine with rice.
  • Minced sorrel. Tear off fresh sorrel leaves, grind, sprinkle with sugar.
  • Rice minced meat with onions and eggs. Having boiled two eggs, finely chopped into cubes, combined with a bunch of finely chopped green onions and one hundred grams of boiled rice.

One of the warmest memories of distant childhood are fried pies cooked in butter from homemade flavored dough with an amazing smell of fresh milk, in the heart of which the most delicious and aromatic filling is hidden, causing an unrestrained desire to taste them again.

In this article, we will consider several simple recipes for pies and fillings for them. And also, you will find out which option is best for fried pastries and, of course, we will reveal some secrets of making delicious pies.

Stage 1. Pie dough

Dough preparation techniques have been developed for centuries. Prepare the dough from sourdough and yeast - sponge and non-steam methods. Nowadays, pies and pies are baked mainly from yeast dough with and without baking. But you should take into account the fact that flavored dough with milk, eggs, sugar and other food additives turns out to be tastier and at the same time heavy, which is more suitable for sweet cakes, pastries and other goodies. But for not sweet pastries, you need to know when to stop or knead the dough in a sponge way - by the method of preliminary fermentation, it is better to cook without baking at all - as our grandmothers advise, who know a lot about this matter.

Yeast dough for pies

First, we will consider the bezoparny method and the simplest recipe for a yeast pie dough with a minimum addition of baking, which is mainly used for non-sweet pastries. In general, it is not recommended without baking - such a product becomes dry and fresh after a certain time.

Ingredients:

200 ml of warm boiled water,
100 ml of milk
1/2 tsp salt
11 g bag of dry yeast,
300-350 g flour.

Step by step recipe:

Pour warm water and warmed milk into a deep bowl, mix salt and yeast.

Stir with a whisk or with your hands, add the sifted flour in portions.

Knead into a moderately thick dough and cover with a towel or plastic wrap.

Insist warm - 1 hour or more, until the dough noticeably increases in volume. Crumple in between.

In this case, most of the water can be replaced with milk, because pies with milk turn out to be much tastier and more aromatic than those cooked in water, but this will increase the fermentation time, which also affects the quality and freshness of the yeast.

To make the dough "obedient" - not stick to hands and dishes, as well as to improve the taste, you can add ghee or margarine, about 40 g.

Chef method:

Recommended option for making dough with a lot of baking, for sweet pastries. Combine in a small deep bowl 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tbsp. spoons of flour and yeast. Pour 100 g of warm water, stir thoroughly and wait for the "cap" to form - 10-15 minutes. Then, in a separate large bowl, pour the rest of the water, dilute salt in it, pour in the prepared dough, add flour, knead the dough and insist.

The amount of ingredients is the same as in the first method, excluding those added to the dough. The exact amount of flour used, in both cases, can vary up or down, plus or minus 20-50 g.

When making a dough, salt is not put into it, but is added immediately before kneading with all the ingredients. At the same time, do not forget that salted dough does not ferment well.

To fill in the missing points, we have prepared a separate topic, where the entire process of preparing a universal baking dough with a detailed description and step-by-step photos for them is demonstrated in an accessible form.

Stage 2. Cutting and proofing

After the dough comes up, increases significantly in volume, you can proceed to the next stage: Divide the finished dough into small portions, sprinkle flour on top and roll into balls, place the cut dough on a floured work surface and cover with a clean towel, for a short proofing time - 5-10 minutes.

What is proofing for? - Products without proofing turn out to be porous and damp, because in the process of cutting the structure of the dough is disturbed, gases are removed from it and the dough becomes dense, as a result the baked goods are less lush.

Stage 3. Forming, sculpting and cooking

Roll the prepared yeast dough blanks into not thick round cakes, put minced meat in the center, tighten the edges and pinch tightly, give the product a characteristic shape for pies and press them down with your palms.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet and place seam side down.

Fry in curdled oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Remember that the browning process should be moderately fast, over medium heat. If the oil is not heated enough, the product does not have time to be covered with a ruddy crust and continues to absorb excess oil, becoming greasy. And when overheated, the surface burns, but inside it remains not fried, a taste of bitterness appears and such a product can cause heartburn.

In each case, when preparing homemade cakes, you need to follow certain rules, be sure to take into account preferences and tastes, try all the options and only then combine your unique recipe.

    Minced meat patties

  • Knead the yeast dough using one of the options above. For butter, choose the sponge method. Soak in a warm place to lift, then divide into desired pieces, roll them into balls and roll them out. Fill minced meat and tape the edges. Fry the pies in a skillet in hot vegetable oil.
  • For the filling, chop 500 grams of beef or pork finely, chop 2 heads onions cubes and fry in a pan with 2 tbsp. tablespoons of oil until tender. Season with salt and seasoning to taste.
  • Finished meat filling should be cooled first, and then used to make pies of any complexity.

For clarity and as a sample, we suggest step by step recipe, where the whole process is detailed and illustrated, following which you can prepare delicious pies with a budget filling of eggs and herbs.
