Cherry pies made from yeast dough

Making a yeast dough for cherry pies:

1. Pour a little warm milk into a cup with three small heaped spoons of yeast and add sugar. Knead  and  to give stand for a quarter of an hour to activate the yeast.
2. Now the yeast needs to be mixed with a glass of sifted flour so that no lumps form. Cover the bowl with a towel and put the resulting dough in a warm place for 20 minutes.
3. During the time  dough  comes, dissolve 120 g of butter. Crack three eggs, add 75 g of sugar and beat until fluffy.
4. After the dough has come up, start kneading the dough. Add prepared eggs with sugar to the dough and pour in the melted butter. All ingredients should be room temperature or warm, but never cold or hot. Knead until smooth.
5. Add 3-3.5 glasses of sifted flour to the mass and knead the dough. When finished, the dough should be pleasant to the touch, soft and not stick to your hands. At the very end of the batch, add a quarter glass of vegetable oil and a quarter of a small spoonful of salt to the dough. These ingredients are added at the end because putting them in the beginning can interfere with the yeast's function. Rinse the dough again, then place it in a bowl sprinkled with a little flour. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 20 minutes. The dough is ready.

Filling for cherry pies with yeast dough:

• Rinse 0.5 kg of pitted cherries and leave for a while in a colander to allow excess liquid to glass. Otherwise, the finished pies will be moist inside. Some housewives, in order to prevent the dough from getting wet, before adding the filling inside the pie, mix the berry with a small amount of starch, which absorbs excess moisture during the baking process. This will not affect the taste in any way. Also, for the filling, you need a little sugar for dusting.

Cooking pies:

1. The dough should grow in size in 20 minutes. It needs to be gently kneaded, and then divided into portioned pieces, from which pies will be molded.
2. Roll a ball out of each piece, and then crush it with your palm. In the center of the formed circle, fold a few cherries and sprinkle them with a small portion of sugar on top. Make sure that the cherry juice does not get on the edges of the circle - this will complicate the process of sculpting the pie, and also increase the chances that the pie will crack during baking and the entire filling will leak out.
3. Before you send the pies to the oven, you need to leave them for 15 minutes in the proofing. Pies with cherries are prepared for 25 minutes at a temperature of 160-180 ° C. To make the pies ruddy, you can first grease them with a beaten egg.

Puff pastries are very different in appearance and taste from those that are prepared with yeast dough. But the trouble with them is much less, and they prepare very quickly.

• Pour 200 g of pitted cherries with 4-5 large tablespoons of sugar, mix and let stand for 20 minutes, so that the berry gives juice.
• Roll out a pack of ready-made defrosted puff pastry into a layer, the thickness of which will be approximately 0.3 cm and cut into rectangles. Determine the size to your taste.
• Place the filling on one part of the rectangle, then fold the dough into a "booklet" and close the edges. You will get a square pie. As in the previous version, so that the dough does not get wet, sprinkle the cherries with a little starch.
• Such pies are baked for 20 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C.
