Culinary excursion
Undoubtedly, homemade dumplings will be the most delicious. They are made with pork, beef, chicken and even bear and venison. You can experiment with a combination of different types of meat for quite a long time. But no matter what filling you choose, the rules for mixing the base remain the same.
Be sure to sift the flour, several times. This is necessary so that it, as they say, is saturated with oxygen, and then the dough will be elastic and soft. To make the minced meat juicy, add a little water and chopped onion to it.
Moreover, there are several small secrets for baking dumplings in the oven:
- Such dumplings must be prepared with sauce. To prepare it, you can use cream, milk with eggs, sour cream, tomato paste and mayonnaise.
- To give the dish a unique summer flavor, add as many chopped herbs as possible.
- Dumplings can be baked on a baking sheet or in pots. If you choose the first option, use dishes with high sides so that the sauce does not leak out during the cooking process.
- The dumplings need to be covered with food foil, otherwise the liquid will evaporate and the dish will burn.
By the way, you can bake dumplings not only in the oven, but also in a slow cooker, as well as in a convection oven.
Homemade dumplings with an unforgettable taste
Today on our menu are dumplings baked in the oven. The recipe with photos will become our culinary guide. The process of preparing the dish is quite simple: we make dumplings, then boil them and bake them with cheese.

- 3-4 tbsp. high-grade flour;
- 400 g minced meat;

- In the meantime, let's get to the minced meat. Twist the meat and onion, pepper and salt. Stir well. For juiciness and flavor, you can add chopped green onions.
- Our dough has “rested”, it’s time to make dumplings. Experienced housewives can do this with their hands. To make our work easier, we will use a dumpling maker.
- So, let's pinch off a little dough and roll it into a thin layer.
- Sprinkle the dumpling maker with flour and cover it with a layer of dough. Spoon the minced meat into the special recesses.
- We place another rolled out layer of dough on top and carefully go over it with a rolling pin.
- All that remains is to shake the dumpling maker so that the semi-finished products fall onto the work surface.
- Boil the dumplings in salted water as usual.
- Place the finished dumplings in a heat-resistant form.
- Melt the butter and pour it over the dumplings.
