Not always kefir and soda pies turn out to be as soft, airy and lush as one would like.   Sometimes they give soda, bake poorly or do not rise and remain flat. So what is the secret of delicious kefir pies? To prepare the perfect pie dough, you need to know 3 tricks: which kefir is better to take and what to add to it, so that the dough does not break when sculpting, and also when putting soda.

The secrets of delicious kefir pies

• 1. 
     In no case do not take fat-free kefir, otherwise the pies will turn out flat and will not rise. Kefir should be of maximum fat content, it is desirable to mix it with sour cream - the dough will remain moist for a long time, will not dry out.
  1. 
     It is better to take kefir not fresh, but "old", almost expired - the older it is, the stronger it is, it has a lot of sour-milk bacteria, and a large amount of acid guarantees an active reaction with soda. Combining with an acidic environment, soda forms millions of bubbles that will raise the dough and bake, the pies will turn out to be lush and airy.
  2. 
     So that the dough does not break during modeling, you need to add vegetable oil directly to it. It contains linolenic acid, which literally “glues” flour cells together.
  1. 
     A very important point is how to make sure that pies do not give off a soda aftertaste, and that soda quickly and effectively raises the dough? Baking soda is added to the dough for loosening and quenched by kefir on its own. The main thing is to correctly enter it into the dough. It’s not worth adding directly to kefir, since all carbon dioxide will be in the air, but not in the test. Soda should be introduced when half the flour is already in the dough. In this case, she will react with kefir and immediately begin to raise the flour.

Kefir dough for pies has a neutral taste, so it is suitable for both salty and sweet fillings. Having certain skills, it is not difficult to work with him, and from the second or third time, modeling will take only 5-10 minutes. The result is always excellent - airy pies, large and lush, remain soft on the second day after preparation.

  sugar1 tbsp. l
• 
  flour 400 g
• 
  soda 0.5 tsp
• 
  sunflower oil in dough1 tbsp. l
• 
  sunflower oil for frying 150 ml

Remove the stewpan from the heat and pour the warm kefir-sour cream mixture into a deep bowl. Add salt, sugar, sunflower oil, as well as yolk, pre-shaken with a fork. Mix everything with a whisk.

Then we introduce half the flour (necessarily sifted), add baking soda, mix, and then add the remaining flour

Dip your hands in vegetable oil and collect sticky dough in a bun. We transfer it to the board, sprinkled with flour, and knead

We grease the bowl with vegetable oil and put the kneaded dough into it (on top of it also grease with a couple of drops of oil). Tighten the bowl with cling film and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes - during this time, soda will have time to react and the pies will not have an unpleasant aftertaste

Lubricate the work surface with a small amount of vegetable oil. We dip our hands in oil and squeezing the dough between the thumb and forefinger, we survive out of it balls in size, like a chicken egg. The output of 11 pieces.

We stretch the balls from the dough with your fingers, forming cakes with a diameter of 10 cm. Knead them so that the middle is a little thicker and the edges a little thinner. (It’s convenient to work on a silicone rug or on a board sprinkled with flour.)

We put the filling inside the cakes and form pies. Press them lightly so that the height is not more than 1 centimeter. The filling can be sweet or salty (I have potatoes with dressing from fried onions and chopped green dill).

We heat the refined vegetable oil for frying - you need to take it so that it reaches the middle of the dough products (approximately 150-170 ml). Put the pies on the pan with the seam down.

We fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browning. It is better to take a pan with a thick bottom, it does not need to be covered, the fire should be moderate so that the pies do not burn, but are well baked.

Put the finished pies on the side in a plate with a paper towel so that all the excess fat is gone.

Serve the dish warm or cold. Ruddy and magnificent pies on kefir are perfectly baked, very soft and tasty.

With all my love for yeast baking, this recipe needs to be given its due - the pies are very lush, airy, and they are prepared very simply. Due to the addition of soda, the dough rises well and fries, the crust is thin, crispy. Proportions verified, I have repeatedly cooked kefir pies fried in a pan. A recipe with a photo and a detailed step-by-step description will be a hint for those who are preparing them for the first time.

I made fried pies from kefir dough with potato filling. You can choose another one to your taste. The main thing in this recipe is to learn how to cook dough with kefir without yeast, and the fillings can be changed.

Here are a few options:

Ingredients

To prepare delicious fried pies on kefir you will need:

• wheat flour - 400-420 g;
• granulated sugar - 1 tbsp. l;
• salt - 1 tsp;
• soda - 1 tsp;
• vinegar - 1 tbsp. l (optional);
• egg - 1 pc;
• warm kefir 1% fat - 250 ml;
• sunflower oil - 150 ml. for frying + 1 tbsp. l into the dough.

• mashed potatoes or boil 10-12 potatoes;
• onion - 3 heads;
• dill - a bunch;
• salt to taste;

• pepper or other spices - 0.5-1 tsp.

How to cook kefir pies in a pan. Recipe

I start by kneading the dough, and while it settles down, I’ll make the filling. I add salt with sugar to the egg. Beat whisk to foam.

Kefir is suitable for any fat content, I usually have 1%, low-fat. I warm in a bowl warmer than room temperature, combine with the egg mixture.

Tip.   Make a low heat and stir the kefir while heating. Left unattended, it can curl near the walls or stick to the bottom.

Sifting half the flour. At this stage, a thick mass does not need to be done. First add soda, then parts of the rest of the flour.

I add soda along with flour. I always extinguish with vinegar, but I know that many just pour kefir, it is quenched with acid. Do as you feel comfortable.

I mix the flour with the egg-kefir mass, knead the lumps and leave for five to ten minutes.

I pour a spoonful of vegetable oil to facilitate kneading. Or you can add oil when you start kneading the dough.

Sift the remaining flour, pour in parts. As I already wrote, the proportions are verified, but the flour is different, it can take a little more or less. In order not to clog the dough with excessive flour, I advise pouring it in portions until the mass becomes viscous and sticky.

I spread the loose lump on the board, dusting with flour. You do not need to knead for a long time, after a few minutes the dough will become homogeneous, plastic, but it will remain sticky (not liquid, but sticky, very soft).

I roll it into a gingerbread man, showered slightly with flour. Once again I repeat: do not pour a lot of flour. The dough after kneading remains soft, slightly spreads when pressed.

To develop gluten, and it was easier to sculpt pies, leave the dough to rest for half an hour in a bowl. Be sure to cover with a lid or a thick towel.

While the gingerbread man is settling down, I am preparing the filling. If you don’t have any boiled potatoes, peel the tubers and cook. We still have mashed potato from dinner, so the question of how to fry pies disappeared by itself. It remains to flavor the potatoes with delicious additives. I decided to add fried onion, fresh herbs and spices. Chopped the onion finely and poured it into boiling sunflower oil.

Fried over fairly high heat until browned. Select the degree of onion roasting to your taste. Not everyone likes onions fried to crunch, but soft ones are also not for everyone's taste. I turned to a golden ruddy color, leaving the cubes soft.

I laid mashed potatoes to the fried onion. Warmed up, salted.

Stirred again, kneaded the lumps and removed the pan from the heat. The filling should cool and become homogeneous.

So the dough ripened. To the touch it is slightly viscous, sticky. I grease my hands with oil, otherwise it sticks a lot. I divide into pieces of the same size, I got 12 pieces.

Alternately I flatten it into cakes with a diameter of 7-8 cm. The first time I made the pies large, they still increased when frying, they turned out to be the size of my palm. Large in general. One ate a little, and two already a lot. This time I did it less.

Tip.   Before cutting pies, coat the work surface with oil. The flour does not fit, it will burn when frying.

I put a tablespoon of the filling in the center. An important point: the dough, although soft, is not as elastic as yeast. Leave enough space to easily connect the edges.

It is more convenient to fry pies from dough on kefir in a pan with not very high sides. In such a way that it was possible to pour a layer of oil 2.5-3 cm high and there was still room. I heat the oil, I throw a small piece of dough. As soon as large and small bubbles appear around it, it means that the oil has warmed up well and it's time to fry the pies. I leave enough space between the workpieces so that there is boiling oil around and the cakes are evenly browned. Spread seam down.

After three to four minutes, the bottom will be fried. I flip to the other side. I fry for another three to five minutes, depending on the temperature and size of the pies.

After removing the pies from the pan, I put them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb fat. Then I put it in the pan.

Look how ruddy handsome turned out! Thin dough in bubbles, a lot of delicious toppings - it is not surprising that kefir pies fried in a pan have become one of our favorite recipes. Cook you friends too! If you have questions - ask, I will answer everyone. Your Plyushkin.
