Yeast pies with cottage cheese and nettles

To prepare sweet yeast pies, we will need the following ingredients: wheat flour of the highest grade, cottage cheese, sour cream, chicken eggs, nettles, sunflower oil without smell (refined), sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and high-speed yeast. All ingredients should be at room temperature.

First, we will prepare the yeast dough. It is more convenient to do all this in a bread machine or test, but it is very easy to knead it with your hands. Depending on the model of the bread maker, the laying of the ingredients can be of two types: first liquid, then bulk and vice versa. I have the first option. Pour 100 milliliters of sunflower oil into the bakery container, add 200 grams of sour cream and 3 medium-sized chicken (45-50 grams each). Slightly shake to partially connect the products.

Now add 500 grams of sifted wheat flour. I always use the same flour (Lida), so the grammar is always the same. You can leave more or less flour — it depends on its quality.

On top of the flour into different corners of the bowl we pour 70 grams of sugar, 1 teaspoon (without a slide, that is, under a knife) fine salt and 1.5 teaspoons of high -speed yeast.

In my bread maker, the dough mode provides for the duration of kneading and proofing exactly 1 hour. But I don't like it so much, because the yeast test is at least 2 hours. That is why I recommend that you do as follows: we exhibit the main (3 hours) program or French bread (3 hours 50 minutes). The batch begins: on the first program, the first batch lasts 10 minutes, and in the second — 15 minutes. So much time is enough to knead the dough well and get an elastic, but at the same time soft and delicate bun. Literally after 5 minutes from the beginning of the batch, it must be formed. Moreover, this is a very important point, because the quality and humidity of the flour is different, therefore this product may require more or less than according to the recipe. If the bun can still not form, feel free to add a tablespoon of flour and follow the batch. When the dough completely moves away from the walls and will be quite elastic (that is, not to spread, but to keep the shape well), we stop the addition of flour. This is what my bun looked after 8 minutes of batch. Now leave the dough alone and let him grow up. It will take about 1 hour 40 minutes (main) or 2 hours 25 minutes (French bread), during which the bread machine will take a fry twice (three times). I prefer to use the second program. If you knead the dough with your hands, knead it for 10-15 minutes, then tighten the bowl with a film or cover with a towel. The fermentation of the dough lasts in the warmth for 2 hours. After 1 hour, we make a light grinder of the dough, rounding and repeated fermentation for another 1 hour.

While the yeast dough wanders, we will prepare the preparation of cottage cheese filling. To do this, it is advisable to prepare 100 grams of fresh nettle. It is burning, so we pour cold water into a large bowl and in my gloves of my nettle from sand, earth and other pollution.

We drain cold water and pour fresh nettle with boiling water.

Literally a few seconds and there will be no trace of the nettle of nettle. Squeeze the greens well.

We combine the prepared nettles, 400 grams of cottage cheese, 100 grams of sugar, 1 chicken egg and 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar (can be replaced with a pinch of vanillin).

We break through all the ingredients using a submersible blender to get a homogeneous delicate filling for future pies. Cottage cheese should not be liquid and pasty, but rather dry. Otherwise, the filling will be too liquid.

When the dough is suitable, it will be airy and very tender. Turn off the program when on the timer will be 1:10 (main and French bread). That is, we take out the dough 10 minutes before the assistant begins to bake bread.

It remains to crush the yeast dough to release air, transfer it to the board and start molding pies.

Divide the dough into pieces of the same size — I have 15 pieces, each weighing about 65 grams. It is very convenient to use kitchen weights so that the blanks are of the same weight. This is important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also in order for the baking to evenly part and bake the same way. We roll each piece in a ball and put on a board, very slightly sprinkled with flour. If you have not yet filled your hand in the modeling of pies, that is, the process takes a lot of time from you, cover all the pieces of dough with a film or towel so that you do not be blurred.

We proceed to form pies. We take one ball of dough and flatten it with a palm. If you want, you can roll out with a rolling pin — this is not fundamentally, since the dough is very tender and supple, it is perfectly stretched with your hands.

In the center of the cake, we put part of the curd filling.

We pinch the dough so that the fillings are not visible. The yeast dough according to this recipe turns out to be very plastic and crawls perfectly. Literally a couple of movements and the pie is ready.

Carefully roll the workpiece in the palms to get an even shape and put the future pie with a seam down. In general, it is not necessary to make a round -shaped pies — you can make them square, boats or triangular.

The baking sheet (in my case, this is a rectangular baking form with a size of 30×20 cm) is covered with baking paper and lay the workpieces with a seam down on it. We cover with a towel or cling film and leave to stand up for 25-30 minutes. Immediately turn on the oven at 180 degrees.

When the blanks are suitable, they will noticeably round and increase in volume. To make pies with cottage cheese and nettles beautiful and ruddy, I propose to lubricate them with an egg (as an option, egg yolk with milk). Small secretion: if your oven does not want to blush pastries, add a pinch of powdered sugar to the egg. Then, in the process of baking, sugar is caramelization and the top of the buns or pies will be browned.

We send the pies to the hot oven to bake for about 25-35 minutes at 180 degrees. Choose the degree of blush of pies yourself-someone loves only slightly golden, and someone likes almost a brown crust.

Ready -made pies with cottage cheese and nettles are very fragrant, so appetizing and tasty. Prepare for health, friends, and pleasant to you appetite!
