  2. The dough is almost ready, but it is quite liquid. Add flour to it and knead well. The dough is considered ready when it comes away easily from your hands. However, you should not knead it too much; it should remain soft.

Recipe for yeast dough for pies

Ingredients:

  • 800 g flour;
  • salt to taste;
  • 2/3 tablespoon sugar;

  • 400 g milk;
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil;
  • 2 chicken eggs.

Preparation:

  1. To prepare the dough, take a large bowl, pour milk into it and heat it up. In warm milk, the yeast will act faster. Next, add the remaining liquid and bulk products (except flour) to it. It is added to the dough last.
  2. Add flour to the dough gradually. At the same time, it is better to knead it first with a spoon, since at first it will be very liquid and sticky.
  3. Then, when all the flour is poured into the dough, knead it with your hands. The dough will be slightly sticky: don’t be alarmed, this is how it should be. Don't add too much flour as this will make the dough too tough. After kneading the dough thoroughly, place it back into the bowl to rise. This requires about 60-90 minutes.
  4. Once the dough has risen, it is ready to use.

If you haven’t used everything at one time, you can put the rest in a bag and store it in the freezer.

Yeast dough is perfect not only for frying pies, but also for baking.

Note to the housewife: it is best to start making pies with dough. Because during its rise you will have time to prepare the filling.

Using any of these recipes, you can make pies with your favorite filling, even without the slightest experience in this. These pies are good both hot and cold. When preparing the filling, it is not at all necessary to follow the recipe exactly. You can add your favorite seasonings and adjust the amount of ingredients to your taste. After all, some people like the filling with a lot of onions, while others prefer the predominance of eggs.

What kind of dough can you use to make pies?

Baked pies are best prepared with yeast dough, then they will be very soft, fluffy and will not go stale for a long time. Butter dough is kneaded with milk or kefir, with the addition of eggs and butter, and unleavened dough is mixed with water and vegetable oil.

The dough for fried pies can be used either with yeast or without yeast; they work well with soda and kefir (sour cream), with choux or pancake dough. You can add cognac or vodka to the batch for better bubbles and crunch.

Pies with onion and egg in the oven

One of the most delicious and uncomplicated recipes using yeast dough. It is prepared using the straight method, using milk and dry yeast, with the addition of eggs and butter. If there is no milk in the refrigerator, you can use warm water and replace the butter with vegetable oil. In any case, the pies will turn out soft and tasty. They bake well inside and stay fresh for a long time. For the filling I use green onions and hard boiled eggs. Some housewives add boiled rice for satiety, and dill for flavor - you can try this option for variety.

Total cooking time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Yield: 18 pieces (1 standard baking sheet)

Dough ingredients

  • milk – 250 ml
  • dry yeast – 2 tsp.
  • sugar – 2 tbsp. l.
  • salt – 1 tsp.
  • egg – 1 pc.
  • butter or vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l.
  • flour – 500-550 g (3-3.5 tbsp.)

Filling ingredients

  • eggs – 5 pcs. + 1 pc. for lubrication
  • green onions - 2-3 bunches.
  • butter – 30 g
  • salt and ground black pepper - to taste

How to cook pies with onions and eggs

    First of all, you need to dissolve the yeast in warm milk. I heat the milk in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, although you can heat it on the stove in a saucepan if you prefer. The temperature of the liquid should be comfortable, within 36-38 degrees, no more, otherwise the yeast will die. I add yeast, salt and sugar to the heated milk, mix well until they dissolve.

    Instead of dry yeast, you can take 25 grams of fresh yeast.

    Next, add melted butter and egg - they should also be at room temperature. Instead of butter, you can use refined vegetable oil. I stir with a fork or whisk, but without beating; the goal here is to ensure that the egg and fat separate completely.

    I sift the flour through a sieve - sifting will saturate it with oxygen, due to which the dough will “breathe” better and rise well. First I add half the flour, that is, about 300 grams, stirring with a whisk.

    When it becomes difficult to stir with a whisk, add the remaining amount of flour. I add it in small portions and knead the dough with my hands (you can use a mixer with hook attachments).

    Depending on the quality and moisture content of the flour used, different amounts may be needed. You need to feel the dough. It should turn out soft, pliable, and not stick to your hands. Yeast dough loves contact with warm hands and prolonged kneading, so it is advisable to knead it for at least 10 minutes. Then you need to cover it with a towel and send it to a warm place, for example, near a radiator, where there is no draft. Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours.

    And we just have time to prepare the filling. I cut hard-boiled eggs into cubes. I wash a couple of bunches of green onions, dry them and finely chop them with a knife. To remove the pungent smell and characteristic bitterness that onions can give, I sauté them in butter. So, I dissolve the butter cube.

    And I put the white part of the onion into the frying pan first, it is tougher than the green feathers, so it needs to be fried 1-2 minutes longer.

    As soon as the onion becomes softer, I add the chopped green feathers to the frying pan, fry for literally another 20-30 seconds, until soft, and remove the frying pan from the heat.

    I combine the eggs and poached onions, salt and pepper, and mix. The filling is ready.

    The dough should increase in size by about 2 times. Since we kneaded it with dry yeast, we can already form the pies. If you cooked with pressed wet yeast, knead it and leave it warm for another 30-40 minutes for the second approach.

    I divide the dough into small portions - weight 50 g, the size of a chicken egg.

    I roll the balls with my hands, then flatten them into flat cakes. Place 1 spoon of filling in the center and pinch the edges tightly. The result is oblong pies, however, you can give them any shape you like.

    I always place the pies, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (you can do it without parchment, then grease it with butter). There should be a distance between them, because they will grow in volume. I leave it to proof on the door of the preheated oven (or in another warm place where there is no draft, covering it with a towel on top).

    After 20-30 minutes, the products will noticeably grow and “swell,” which means it’s time to put them in the oven. But first, I brush the top with a loose egg to make the crust shiny and browned. Additionally, you can sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    I bake for 15-20 minutes, always in a preheated oven, at 180 degrees.

    As soon as they are ready, I immediately remove them from the baking sheet, transfer them to a bowl or on a wooden board, cover them with a towel on top so that they “breathe” and cool slowly. These turned out to be such beauties, soft and very tasty, help yourself!

  3. Boil 2 eggs, cool and finely chop.
  4. Mix chopped onion, eggs and dough.
  5. Place the pies in a frying pan heated with oil using a tablespoon and fry like regular pancakes until done.

Pour a full teaspoon of salt into a bowl, 3 tbsp. spoons of sugar and dry yeast. We dilute all this with milk. Beat in two large eggs and pour in a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix everything. Sift the flour and add more than half of the flour to the liquid mixture. Mix the dough. In the process, add the remaining flour. Place the dough in a warm place, covered with a towel, for an hour and a half.

In the meantime, let's get started with the filling. First, boil the eggs hard. Boil the eggs longer until they are 100% firm. While cooking, sprinkle a couple of pinches of salt into the egg water. Pour cold water over the boiled eggs for better cleaning. Chop them finely, or three on a coarse grater. Then we wash the green onions, chop them and put them in the eggs. Salt and pepper to taste.

When the dough has doubled in size, begin making pies. Divide the ball into small pieces. Make donuts from pieces of dough by kneading the buns with your fingers. It is better not to use a rolling pin so that the dough is soft. Place the filling on the circle of dough so that it does not fall off. We seal the edges, pinching them so that the pies do not fall apart.
