How to cook meat pies from yeast dough in the oven

Let's start preparing the dough. Main secret good test- make the yeast work. To do this, heat the milk (100 ml) to a warm temperature (no more than 40 degrees, otherwise the yeast will die!). If you dip your finger in such milk, it should feel pleasant, comfortable, and warm.

Pour the yeast into warm milk, add 2 tbsp to the dough. spoons of sugar, stir. It will take 20-30 minutes for the dough to increase in size and be ready to rise the yeast dough. Place the dough in a place without drafts.

To create comfortable conditions Cover the dough with cling film or a towel.

We also heat the kefir, pour in vegetable oil(150 ml.)

We drive in 2 chicken eggs(the eggs can be broken into a separate bowl and stirred, only then poured into the dough).

So, the dough rose like a cap, and then bubbles began to appear on its surface and the dough began to settle, which indicates that it is ripe and we can continue kneading the yeast dough.

Pour kefir with the remaining ingredients into a well-suited dough. Stir.

Now it's the turn of the flour. Sift it in parts, stirring occasionally and checking the consistency of the dough. Depending on the humidity in the room and the density of the wheat flour, the dough may take a little more than 500 grams. or a little less.

The dough should be soft, pleasant, slightly sticky. Do not add all the flour at once - otherwise the dough may turn out too dense, and we need airy lush pies with meat, right?

Cover the kneaded dough with a clean towel and put it in a warm place without drafts for 1 hour. The rising time of the dough is individual, if the conditions are good (warm, no drafts, humid), the yeast dough will double in volume in 1 hour. If the apartment is cold and the dough rises slowly, give it more time.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Place the boiled meat (I have pork, 300 grams) in a blender bowl, after dividing it into pieces.

Turn on the blender and turn the pieces into crumbs. Add fried onions. Mix the ingredients, salt and pepper.

Forming meat pies

So, the dough for meat pies has already come up, let's get to the fun part - forming the pies.

Grease your hands with a small amount of vegetable oil so that the dough does not stick to your hands and tear off small pieces, forming a ball. Then we stretch the ball into a flat cake so that it is convenient to lay out the filling. Place one tablespoon of meat filling in the center of the flatbread. Bring the edges of the dough together and form a pie.

On a baking sheet sprinkled with flour, place the pies, seam side down, at a distance of 4-5 cm from each other.

To ensure that the pies have a crispy golden crust, coat the pies with yolk mixed with 2 tbsp. spoons of milk. You can add a pinch of salt to the resulting mixture, which we will use to cover the pies.

Grease the pies with a pastry brush and place in a preheated oven (up to 170 C).

Bake the meat pies in the oven for 20-25 minutes. We focus on a golden crust - the pies should become golden brown.

Place the finished baked goods in a wicker basket or on a wire rack (so that the bottom of the pies does not get wet while cooling). It is better to cover the pies with a towel so that the crust becomes soft.

Meat pies in the oven according to this recipe turn out “fluffy”, with fluffy dough and juicy filling. Bon appetit!

You can make flavorful ones with meat in the oven in several ways. For those who do not want to waste time and knead the dough for such baking, we can advise you to go to the nearest supermarket and buy the base there. But still, an incredibly tasty and satisfying dish is prepared from start to finish with your own hands.

Recipe No. 1. Classic yeast baking

For classic recipe For yeast dough you will need the following ingredients:

First, the meat filling is made. If you took whole piece or, then it needs to be boiled until tender (do not add salt to the water). Separately, finely chop and sauté the onion. When the meat is ready, it is passed through a meat grinder along with onions, and the finished mass is peppered, salted and flavored with seasonings. If the finished meat filling is a bit dry, you can add a small amount of broth or a little butter. When choosing minced meat, the ingredient is simply fried along with onions and spices.

Now you need to make the baking dough. A glass of milk should be heated over low heat to 40–45 degrees, removed from the stove, and pour 1 tbsp into the liquid. l. flour and sugar, dry yeast, stir a little and put in a warm place for half an hour. To speed up the fermentation process, cover the dough with a towel. Over time, gradually add flour to the dough, stirring the dough, pour 1 tsp. salt, pour in vegetable oil and it is better to lightly beat the last ingredient in a separate bowl. After stirring the base for minced pies a little, put it on the table and start kneading. The dough will be ready the moment it stops sticking to your hands.

We divide the finished mass into 2 parts by eye, put one of them in a warm place, and from the other we make a sausage. After that, cut it into equal pieces, roll them into flat cakes and fill them with filling. We try to seal the seam as tightly as possible. Immediately place the prepared baked goods on a baking sheet covered with parchment (the joint should be at the bottom). When the entire area is occupied, set the baking sheet aside for half an hour and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Before sending the dish to bake, you need to brush it with egg yolk so that the finished delicacy gets a golden brown crust. The baked goods will simmer in the oven for about 20–25 minutes. While the pies are cooking, you can make a second batch with the remaining dough.

It is better to serve such pastries hot or warm. No additional serving or greenery decorations are required.

Recipe No. 2. Quick puff pastry dish

For those who are used to saving their time and don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, we can recommend another recipe for pies made from. You will need:

The minced meat and onions are fried until the pinkish tint is replaced by brown. Add salt, spices and pepper to taste, mix well. The dough for minced pies must first be defrosted. After this, it is rolled out into equal squares, the filling is placed, and the edges are secured. To ensure a strong adhesion of the edges, you can lightly moisten the dough with water or dip your fingers in the liquid and only then form the pies. The blanks are placed on a baking sheet, brushed with beaten yolk, and placed in the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes. The dish is ready!

Using the same recipe, you can make a treat or cheese filling. Even a dish with minced meat You can slightly diversify it by adding finely chopped and fried champignons to the filling.

Recipe No. 3. Open baking

Cooking meat pies in the oven is very possible in an unusual way. For example, open pies will impress guests not only with their original shape, but also with their unsurpassed taste. You will need the following ingredients:

In this recipe, instead of water, you can use heated milk or low-fat kefir at room temperature.

You need to sift the flour, add yeast, 1 tsp. salt and 2 tbsp. l. sugar, mix everything. Make a depression in the center, break one egg into it, pour in slightly warmed water and put oil. From these ingredients you need to knead the dough (first use a spoon, then start kneading the mass with your hands). Place the prepared baking base in a warm place for half an hour or a little more.

At this time, we begin preparing the filling. Peel the onion, chop finely, mix with minced meat in a separate bowl, add spices to taste, salt and pepper. Now we take out the dough, knead it lightly again, divide it into 2 parts, roll it out into a sausage and cut it into portions. From each piece we form a flat cake and place the filling in the center. We seal the edges so that the pies are in the form of triangles with a small hole on top.

We transfer the future dish to a greased baking sheet, coat it on all sides with yolk, put it in the oven, brought to 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Bon appetit!

Before putting the dish in the oven, let it sit for a while at room temperature. So, the pies will be more fluffy, voluminous and rich. Please note that you should not open the oven door during the first 5-10 minutes of simmering, otherwise the baked goods will fall and will not rise again.

Since meat pies cook very quickly, you need to take care of the filling in advance. This is because by the time the pies are formed, it should not be raw and already cooled down, if it was previously subjected to heat treatment.

By the way, I would like to say right away that these pies can be made with any filling. And sweet - for example, apples with raisins or thick jam... And vegetable - stewed cabbage with green onions and an egg, for example... And with smoked chicken - very tasty... but with boiled meat, of course, my favorite ones - these are the ones I prepared today.

I cooked beef the day before. The meat must be chopped in any way - minced through a meat grinder or, even easier, using a blender.
Peel the onion and chop it into small cubes.

Fry the chopped onion over preheated water until softened and golden brown.
Then add the chopped meat and mix. For juiciness, add the broth left over from cooking the meat - a little at a time, not all at once. The filling should not be dry, but not liquid either; in general, in the end I would like to get a rather juicy filling - as the main flavoring ingredient. Be sure to taste it and, if necessary, pepper and add salt; if you want, you can add other spices to your taste and dried herbs. Let everything simmer a little more until all the flavors combine and leave aside to cool.

Now let's prepare the dough. Let's start by lightly breaking the eggs with sugar and salt with a whisk.
In a separate bowl, first quench the soda with sour cream, and then mix it with the egg mixture.

Now add flour and knead soft and easy-to-work dough for pies.

Divide the dough into equal pieces.
Adding additional flour if necessary, stretch (flatten) each piece of dough with your fingers into a thin flat cake... Of course, you can roll it out with a rolling pin, but I like it this way, the old-fashioned way.
Place a tablespoon of meat filling in the center of each flatbread and make meat pies, pinching the edges well (like dumplings).

Ingredients for 1 tray of pies:

• Flour 160 grams (1 faceted glass of 250 ml)
• Vegetable oil 25 ml (4 tablespoons)
• Sugar - 1/3 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/3 teaspoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Yeast - 1/3 standard 11g packet of instant yeast

• Meat - 200 grams,
• Onion - 100 grams,
• Vegetable oil for frying,
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Yolk of 1 egg for greasing pies.

How to cook meat pies in the oven

Let's start with the test. I want to warn you right away that the dough is just super! Both in kneading and in cutting. Soft-soft. Just for everything to work out, you need to strictly observe the proportions of the products. Measure out 100 ml of water. Take a cup, pour yeast and sugar into it, and mix lightly. Fill in a third of the collected water. We set the rest aside - we will knead the dough on it later.

After 20 minutes the yeast will rise and you will see this sight.

Pour flour into a bowl, pour in yeast. We rinse the yeast cup with the remaining water so that nothing goes to waste, pour in salt, pour in oil and start kneading the dough.

It may be sticky at first. We don't pay attention! Knead calmly, stretching and folding the dough with both hands. After five minutes it will stop sticking. We continue to knead, and after a couple of minutes a joyful feeling will arise: wow, what a pleasant dough! Soft, lively, non-sticky, even somehow airy. Just at this moment you can let the dough rise. I always grease the bowl with a few drops of vegetable oil and then roll the bun in it. This way the dough is guaranteed not to dry out.

2. Filling

For the filling, raw meat must be minced through a meat grinder. I skip that step because I already have ready-made minced meat.

Chop the onion finely, pour vegetable oil (2-3 tablespoons) into a frying pan, add the onion and fry, stirring, until golden brown. As you see in the photo.

Then put the minced meat in the same frying pan, mix with the onion and fry for five minutes until the minced meat changes color. Then fill it with a quarter glass of water, stir, reduce the heat and simmer without a lid until all the liquid has evaporated. Then add salt and pepper to taste. The filling is ready. It turns out very juicy. And in meat pies this is the main thing.

3. Modeling and baking pies

Place the finished dough on the board. It is so elastic, soft and non-sticky that there is no need to dust the board with flour. Roll out the dough into a sausage and mark the cut locations with a knife. I have already said that 1 cup of flour makes dough for 8 pies. So you can first visually divide the dough in half, then each half in half again, and in half again. You will get 8 parts. We make cuts.

Roll the resulting pieces into buns. To do this, put the dough on the board, pull it back and pick it up from the edges and wrap it in the center. We do this 3-4 times.

There is no need to roll out the buns. In general, I haven’t used a rolling pin for a long time. Just take the bun in your palm and stretch it from the edges with your fingers.

It turns out to be a round cake. We put it on it meat filling. Two heaped teaspoons.

Now how to make a pie correctly. You must first grab the cake from two edges and pull them together in the middle. Then pinch to the edges. We pinch tightly. But you probably felt how well the dough sticks together. When baking, not a single pie came apart! This is how the pies turn out.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, seam side down.

Cover with a towel and let stand for 20 minutes. Don't skip this step! It's called proofing. It is thanks to him that the pies will turn out so airy.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Take an egg and two cups. We need to separate the yolk from the white. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the cup with the yolk and stir until smooth. Why is it better to mix the yolk with water? Because then the pies will not darken too much in the oven, and the gloss will be the same as you see in the photo. Apply the resulting mixture to the surface of the pies with a brush. I use a regular one - I borrowed one from my kids.

Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
