I want to cook something special for the holiday. And to offer a new interpretation of already known and favorite dishes. So, it's time to get acquainted with new ideas of culinary design!

Our today's review is dedicated to the creative cutting of dough - from the simplest to the real masterpieces of flour production.

Putting ideas in a piggy bank!

Buns made of strips and layers of dough without filling

You can make beautiful buns from the "sausages" of yeast dough. In order for the stripes not to stick together, the sausage must first be greased with an egg. And then wrap it with an ornate line according to the pattern you like.

A small rolled strip can be used to make a flower bun, bow bun, and leaf bun.

For children, be sure to make baked goods in the shape of animals.

You can make a stylish bun with a large bow out of a layer of puff pastry.

Roll based baked goods

Original spikelets, buns and bread can be made on the basis of rolls. Here, various schemes for cutting the dough with scissors are used.

We carry out the spikelet as follows: sprinkle with poppy seeds "sausage" from the dough. Then we make cuts in the roll at an angle of 45 degrees, and lay them out with a "pigtail".

Similarly, we make spikelets filled with poppy or cinnamon with sugar.

You can make a ruddy wreath from a roll with sugar and cinnamon.

If you cut the roll into pieces and spread on a baking sheet, then you can make cinnamon rolls. When ready, fill the buns with chocolate icing, concentrated syrup, nuts with sugar, or other tasty decoration.

Cake edge decoration

Open cakes and pizzas can be decorated in a special way by preforming the rim and filling with filling.

Original pies with filling

Pies are loved by adults and children. You can surprise and please loved ones by making them in the form of roses, animals, curls, apples and other fruits and vegetables. Thus, you can make thematic cakes for a specific event or for a specific person.

Stuffed pies

Large stuffed pies can be shaped like a funny turtle. The relief on the shell can be done using prints of cups or dumplings.

Stuffed Flower Pie can be made with any fairly thick filling or with a combination of two toppings. We spread the filling on the lower layer - we form the center and the ring. Then cover with a second layer of dough and fix the center with a plate. We fasten the ring along the edge and make cuts, unfold the dough like flower petals.

We make a stuffed ring pie with a peeping filling using special cuts in the center of the dough layer and bend it to the edge.

We make stuffed fish-shaped pie from puff or yeast dough.

A rustic pie with minced meat and eggs is also quite beautiful and colorful. This dish will surely delight your guests!

Form a bunch of grapes from small round pies with filling, decorate with carved leaves and a vine. Here is the finished culinary masterpiece!

Stuffed pie can be perforated. For such a pie, a thick filling of pieces of meat, cabbage, apples is suitable.

Two-color pies

Pies and buns made of two-color dough are very original. We make them according to the principle of the well-known Zebra pie, coloring half of the dough with cocoa powder. And then it all depends on your imagination. You can put snow-white balls of dough in a baking dish and pour the dark part of the dough, you can bake multi-colored cakes and make a cake from them, or you can combine two layers of light and dark dough, make two rolls and from them - colored butterflies.

Decorative bread

It is our custom to greet guests with bread and salt. But where can you get beautiful decorative bread? It turns out that you can bake it yourself. There are a lot of worthy options. Let's get to know them:

Open tarts and pies

Open pies and pies can be decorated not only with the original edge.

We make puff pastry pies with the effect of an opening flower from two square layers, cutting the top one.

Now we are making a charlotte with apples in a new format. On the shortbread dough, spread the curd filling of the consistency of thick sour cream, decorate with apple roses on top.

Decorate pies with berries and jam filling with decorative pieces of dough.

We make open puff pastry pies with meat filling.

We decorate pies and pies with dough and sausage edges. To do this, put a sausage between two layers, fix it, make cuts and unfold it.

With pieces of boiled sausage, you can make rose pies.

Open pie with pear and cottage cheese is very healthy. Fill the shortcrust pastry base with pears, cut into rings, without separating them. We spread them in the shape of a flower and fill them with liquid curd filling. We bake.

Pie - we make a pear from a puff layer and half a pear. Original and simple!

Pie "Santa Claus"

For the New Year's holiday, it is worth baking a cake with one of its symbols. We propose to make a cake with the image of Santa Claus.

Now, fully armed, let's start experimenting with original baked goods!

Knead the dough. We cut into equal 20 parts. We put it on a plate and send it to the refrigerator for an hour, or in the freezer for a quarter of an hour.

We cut the apples into small cubes - first into 5 mm thick plates, then we cut them into cubes and cubes. Certain varieties of apple pulp quickly darken on contact with air. To prevent this, dip the sliced \u200b\u200bapple pieces into a container with lemon juice diluted with water. After that, just fold it in a colander.

Roll the cooled pieces of dough thinly, put 1.5 tablespoons of apple pieces and a teaspoon of sugar.

A quarter of an hour is enough for baking - as soon as the dough acquires an appetizing golden color, the buns can be considered ready.

With cottage cheese

Puffs with cottage cheese are tasty and healthy. If desired, the filling with cottage cheese can become both sweet (as in the recipe below) and savory, if instead of sugar you add, for example, herbs and a little salt to it.

So, you need to start by rolling out the dough. In this case, the layer does not need to be cut, in the future it will be possible to cut the finished puff into pieces. The sheet should retain the corners and be twice the size of the chocolate. Put a tile in the center and with a knife make parallel oblique cuts along the remaining protruding edges of the dough. Next, cover the chocolate with shorter pieces of dough, and weave the slanting ribbons in turn, completely covering it.

We repeat the same with the remaining dough and the second chocolate bar.

Beat the egg well and grease the baking with it. Watch the edges of the pastry, they must be pinched well, otherwise the chocolate may leak out. We bake at 200 degrees. within 20-25 minutes.

Servings: 4 Cooking Time: 45 min.

Not everyone has time to do the dough, wait until it "ripens" and sculpt complex pretzels or pies. Many simply do not know how. In modern conditions, special culinary skills are not required. You can make delicious filled puffs or even a simple pizza from ready-made puff pastry in a matter of minutes. Such a charm is baked for only 20 minutes, and it is eaten even faster.

Roll out a layer of puff pastry a little, cut into squares or rectangles. Place the filling in the middle and seal the edges, pinching them firmly together. Puff pastry fillingwhich will give you the least trouble:

• Raspberries with sugar (you literally need a couple of berries for one puff);
• Cherry;
• Sliced \u200b\u200bapples;
• Meat or fish cutlet (in this case, everything is easy: only the corners of the dough square stick to each other, over the finished chilled cutlet);
• Sausage (you get an unusual "sausage in dough", with crispy layers);
• Banana (sliced)
• Ham with cheese.

In a step-by-step photo recipe, we will tell you how to make quick sweet puffs filled with bananas and strawberries.

Sweet dough puffs

Ingredients:

• 500 g ready-made puff pastry (yeast-free),
• 200 g strawberries (fresh or frozen),
• 1-2 bananas
• 1 tbsp. a spoonful of starch
• 2 tbsp. tablespoons of granulated sugar
• 1 egg for greasing puff pastries,
• Wheat flour for sprinkling the work surface.

Cooking process:

If you have already bought ready-made yeast-free puff pastry, you probably noticed that its packaging is different, as well as the contents. Manufacturers offer frozen dough in rolls or squares. The latter option is easier to work with as it takes less time to defrost. The frozen plates must be separated from each other and laid out on the table. Within 10 minutes you can start working.

In the meantime, you can start filling and preheat the oven.

Fresh strawberries are sorted, washed and crushed into large pieces. Frozen strawberries do not need to be thawed specifically so that they do not turn sour. The banana is cut into cubes or circles.

Sugar and starch are added to the filling. The starch will thicken the syrup that stands out from the berries and keep it in baked goods to the maximum.

Dust the work surface with flour and lightly roll out the soft dough. We cut it into long rectangles. You can use a special roller for pasties.

We put the filling on one half, stepping back from the edge, and cover with the other half.

The edges need to be pinched very well so that all the juice remains inside and does not run away. We put the puffs on a greased or paper-lined baking sheet, grease with a loose egg and immediately send to bake. Immediately, because there is no need to waste time raising and proving, the dough is not yeast. If desired, you can make cuts on each rectangular pie.

Preheat the oven in advance, bake puff pastry products at 180 degrees. The top of the dough will change color, layers on the sides of the products will become clearly visible.

Congratulations, you have learned how to bake excellent tea puffs without unnecessary problems! In the same way, you can make sweet puffs with cottage cheese, apples, cherries, as well as savory ones with cheese, ham, minced meat, salted cottage cheese.

Remove the baked goods from the baking sheet onto a wide dish and boil the kettle.

Or serve in portions, with berries. By the way, a scoop of ice cream will be quite appropriate here.

In addition, puff pastry can be used to make buns with sausages and delicious quick pizza, this time both yeast-free and yeast dough can be used.

Pizza on puff pastry

Put the rolled out layer of puff pastry on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil, spread it with ketchup and mayonnaise (or just ketchup), lay out pieces of boiled chicken, sausages or sausages, pour in grated cheese (or simply lay out in pieces). You can bake! For flavor, you can add chopped olives, bell peppers or pickled cucumbers.
