Pies Is a type of baked goods that can be made from any type of dough and filled with a wide variety of fillings. May be sweet or not sweet. However, in this case, we are still talking about sweet pies.

Pies of all shapes and sizes are made at home. The variety in this case is limited only by the imagination of the culinary specialist. Pies can be closed, half-closed and open. As for the first variety, any non-liquid dough is suitable for its preparation. Semi-closed pies visually resemble open pies, only the upper part of them is made in the form of a lattice of dough strips. In open pies, the top is the filling itself.

The basis of such baking, as a rule, becomes yeast (sponge and bezoparnoe), yeast-free, lean, rich, puff, shortbread dough. Less commonly, liquid biscuit dough is used. Its use classifies the cake as a bulk baked product. This means that the filling is placed in a prepared mold and simply poured over with dough. By the way, such pies turn out, as they say, in a hurry.

Another variety of pies that you can whip up at home are bulk pies. To create them, dough preparation is not required at all. The base still remains flour, but only add it in a dry (free-flowing) form.

The types of pies can also be listed depending on their belonging to any national cuisine of the world.

A lot of simple and delicious step-by-step photo recipes for making various pies can be found in this section of the site.

Home cooking secrets

Recipes for making sweet pies at home are quite varied. In each case, there are secrets of creating truly aromatic and tasty baked goods. However, one can also distinguish general tips to help with baking pies.

If you need to make yeast dough to make a cake, then you need to take into account the following tricks:

1. Eggs make the dough heavier, and therefore should not be added in the case when the baked goods should turn out to be tender and airy.
2. Also, any vegetable oil will make the dough airy, and the butter will give a very delicate delicate taste.
3. The amount of sugar used for making yeast dough should be exactly the same as indicated in the recipe. An excess, as well as a lack of this component, will prevent the yeast from working properly.
4. All products for kneading dough must be brought to room temperature.
5. Wheat flour is usually sieved before kneading. This will get rid of extraneous inclusions and help make the dough more fluffy.
6. Mixing the ingredients for a yeast cake correctly is a whole science! First, dry components are mixed, and only then pre-whipped liquid components are introduced into them.
7. You need to work with yeast dough in a warm room with the exception of the possibility of drafts (in a warm dough it will be better suited, but due to drafts it may fall off).
8. When baking yeast dough cakes, excessively high temperatures should be avoided. One hundred and eighty degrees will be enough. In addition, you must not open the oven door during baking, otherwise the baked goods will settle.
9. Before you send the cake to bake in the oven, it needs to be allowed to come up. This will take 10 to 20 minutes.

There is a little trick to making a sponge cake. Baking will be tastier if you replace milk with orange juice in the recipe.

Some types of filling in cooking recipes also have some secrets:

• if the raisins are rolled in flour before adding to the pie, then it will be evenly distributed in the dough;
• so that the filling of fresh berries or jam does not boil during baking, you need to add a little starch or wheat flour to them, respectively;
• nuts as a filling will turn out much tastier if they are pre-fried in a pan or baked in the oven (a microwave is also suitable for this purpose);
• the curd filling will turn out to be especially tender if you first grind the curd through a sieve.

In the case when the recipe for making a pie suggests flavoring it with vanilla sugar or citric acid, be aware that it is better to dilute these components in a small amount of water beforehand. This will distribute the flavor evenly throughout the dough.

You can add a delicious nutty flavor to the cake by adding a little ground hazelnuts to the bottom of the baking dish.

You can create a delicious golden brown crust on a pie by brushing the top with whipped yolk.

Take your time to take the hot cake out of the mold. In this state, it is easily deformed. Better to wait until the cake has cooled.
