... well, when I already decide to bake such yummy ... it's delicious ... it's just ... mmm
Placinths are a dish Moldovan cuisine and what a dish! Delicate and crispy dough that is not felt in the mouth and only the taste of the filling remains, which, by the way, is varied (today we will have pies with potatoes and pumpkin

There are many recipes for placinas, but I think this is the most delicious and simple one!

(per 11 large placinas)

For the test:

* 800 ml of water;
* 2 - 2, 100 kg of flour (excluding powder when rolling placinda);
* 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil;
* a pinch of salt

For filling

* 2.5 kg of potatoes (it is advisable to take boiled potatoes, so the pies will be fried faster);
* 100 - 150 grams of meat (as much as possible, it was put here "for flavor")
* 2 onions
* salt, freshly ground black pepper
* pumpkin - 300 grams
* sugar to taste

Pour water into a bowl, add vegetable oil, a pinch of salt and knead the dough. The dough should not stick to your hands and at the same time be very tough. Soft, pleasant to the touch. You can use a little more flour than the recipe, but don't get carried away.

So, we kneaded the dough

Divide it into portioned "balls" based on the size of your pan. I got 11 pieces.

Covered with a towel and left to rest for 10-15 minutes.

At this time, we will deal with the filling. Finely chop the meat and fry with 1 onion.

Finely chop the potatoes.

Add fried meat with onions to the potatoes and all the vegetable oil from the pan after frying.

Chop the second onion and also add to our filling

Salt and pepper to taste.

We put a frying pan on the stove to warm up and return to our dough.

I don’t know how well it can be seen, but the dough should be about that thick.

Lay out the filling in the center with a thin layer. At the same time, we leave a small distance from the edge. And we make 8 cuts on the dough: 2 vertically, 2 horizontally and 4 diagonally

Now we take the lower incised piece of dough (let's call it conditionally a petal) and, slightly stretching, we close our blank placinda with it (do not be afraid to stretch - the dough stretches very well). In the same way, we pull a piece of dough in front of him.

Repeat the "stretch-close" procedure with horizontal petals

And now with those petals that we have diagonally

It is not necessary to roll it from above. Press the sllekga with your hands and send it to fry.

Fry in vegetable oil, over low-medium heat for about 5-7 minutes each side

When our first filling is over, let's prepare the pumpkin filling.

To do this, clean the pumpkin and three for coarse grater

Roll out a circle from the dough and spread the grated pumpkin on it

And already on the dough itself, pour the pumpkin with sugar

Then we do everything by analogy with placinas with potatoes.

True, they are fried harder.

But they are worth it.

There is no photo with all 11 placinas, as they were immediately consumed.

Someone has an association of Moldovan placinas with a glass of wine, but we love it with compote or tea. Yes, or just like that.

wheat flour 3-4 glasses,
table salt - 1 tsp,
vegetable oil - 100 ml,
minced meat - 500 g,
onion - 1 pc.,
greens - optional,
spices and salt for minced meat - to taste,
boiling water - 1 glass.

Cooking process:

Put 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl where we will knead the dough.

Now pour in boiling water. Add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil. For cooking, I took olive oil first spin. You can use any vegetable oil you prefer. Suitable for both olive and sesame, sunflower. Stir the water, oil and salt until the salt is completely dissolved.

Sift 3 cups of flour and add them to the liquid. Knead to a homogeneous dough. It is better to work with a spoon or fork (the latter option is the most convenient for me). Choux pastry will be hot enough. It is inconvenient to work with your hands.

The dough for placinda will turn out like this. If in your case it will be a little liquid, add a little flour. Set aside. It should cool slightly.

Prepare minced meat in a bowl. You can make it yourself at home or buy it ready-made in the store.

Chop the onion. Add finely chopped onion to the minced meat. Season the minced meat with salt and pepper to taste.

Add a couple tablespoons of water to meat filling and knead until smooth.

Divide the dough into 6-8 parts.

Roll each piece into the thinnest layer.

Use a knife to make cuts along the edge of the seam.

Place a small amount of minced meat in the middle of the tortilla. Approximately 1-2 tbsp. spoons.

Lift each edge of the dough one by one and cover the meat layer with it.

We should get the following package.

Turn the cake over, seam side down. Using your fingers, slapping, distribute the minced meat inside the dough, while increasing the size of the cake. We sort of stretch it, roll it out, but without a rolling pin. If you use a rolling pin, the minced meat will come out.

Pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil into the pan. Fry the pies in a pan on each side for 2-3 minutes until formed golden brown... When placing the tortilla in the pan, you need to make sure it is hot. After the first tortilla is toasted, reduce heat under the skillet to medium (or just below). In a frying pan that is too hot, subsequent cakes will begin to burn quickly. We don't need this.

As a result, I got 6 cakes. I have already said that they can be made with different fillings. To make placinda with cheese and herbs, place the grated hard cheese in the middle of the flatbread.

Chop any available greens into small pieces and add to the filling. Add some salt and spices. You can squeeze out some garlic. Shape the cake as described above. Fry on both sides, 2 minutes on each side.

Place the fried tortillas in a stack and serve. You can serve Moldovan tortillas with meat with salad from fresh vegetables or with sour cream.

Bon Appetit!

Basic common truths

Do not knead the dough for Moldavian placinda for too long.
If your dish has cooled down, then without prejudice to its taste, you can heat it up in a pan with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil.
For placinas that are baked in the oven, do not close the edges of the dough too tightly, but do not allow the filling to fall out.
When frying food in a pan, the side with the seams is always fried first.

How to serve a dish correctly and with what

Thank you for your attention to the recipes! if you have useful tips and refinement of the recipes that are set out in this article, then I invite you to discuss them in the comments.

Since ancient times, the custom has remained in Moldova to treat dear guests placinths. This product is made from dough with different fillings. Each housewife has her own secret, which gives the product a zest.

Today we will reveal recipe for making placinda with cottage cheese and herbs... It is desirable to use homemade products, but store products can compensate for their absence.

The following ingredients should be prepared:

flour - 1.0 kg;
fresh cottage cheese - 0.500 kg;
dill - a bunch;
feathers of green onions;
salt;
activated yeast - 5 g;
milk - 0.200 l;
sunflower oil.

How to make Moldavian placinas:

Heat the milk slightly and dilute the yeast in it.

While the yeast is completely dissolved, prepare the filling for the pies. In a deep container, combine: cottage cheese, finely chopped washed greens, one egg. Salt a little and mix thoroughly. The filling is ready for use. So you can already do the test.

Combine flour, milk, one egg and a couple of pinches of salt. If milk is not enough, you can add a little warm water. Knead the mixture until a homogeneous dough is obtained. The placinth dough should be soft. Feelings are about the same that we knead balloon... Leave the dough to rest for 17 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6 identical pieces. We knead each one separately.

Now it's time to roll out the seams. We start with a piece that was crushed first. We roll out small layers. Liberally grease them with sunflower oil and stack them one on top of the other. This will soften the dough even more and it will become more elastic.

Turn the stack over and start stretching the layer from the first. We stretch it with our hands carefully so as not to tear. The thinner the dough is, the better. If the reservoir is dry, you need to lubricate it with oil a little more. And if the layer is lubricated enough, put the filling. We distribute the curd as evenly as possible only on half of the layer.

We fold it into a bundle, starting from the side with the filling. We form the placinth in a circular motion (see photo, how to make a placinda). We put it on a baking sheet. We do this with all layers.

So the turn came to the remaining egg. We only use the yolk from it. We knock it down carefully. We will grease the pies with whipped yolk. In principle, it's done. But there is one more nuance - placinths can be decorated:

poppy seeds;
sesame seeds.

Now you're done! We send this beauty preheated to 180 gr. oven. We will bake pies with cottage cheese for 25-27 minutes.

When we take them out of the oven, they have a dry crust. To make them soft immediately, while hot, each separately slightly moisten with water. Place in a deep bowl and cover with a towel. So hold them for no more than 3-4 minutes. The main thing is, before covering, check that there is no excess water at the bottom of the dishes, this will spoil the taste of the flour product.

After this procedure, the placinths with cottage cheese and herbs became soft, and they already melt in the mouth. Offer them tea or milk, juice, or, you can and.
