Let's start manufacturing.

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
2. Roll out the dough (you need a thickness of 2 mm and sides 25 by 20 cm).
3. Line a baking sheet (it’s better to take a large one) with parchment and place the dough on it.
4. We bend it on four sides to create sides 2 centimeters high. Pierce them in several places with a fork. Leave the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the peaches.
6. When the allotted time has expired, remove the dough from the freezer and immediately transfer it to the oven (for 20 minutes).
7. While the dough is baking, we continue to “conjure”. Pour sour cream into a bowl, add cottage cheese and sugar. Mix into sweet sauce.

9. We evenly cover the bottom of our crust with the sauce and place the peaches on top.
10. We immediately put it on the table, politely ask if it’s delicious, and listen to praise and gratitude.

Before you start baking puff pastry, you need to defrost it at room temperature: at higher temperatures it will spread.

Open canned fish pie in the oven

Puff pastry with preserves is a delicious open-faced pie with a creamy sauce made from leeks and dried herbs.

Compound:

• 500 g puff pastry without yeast;
• 250 g leeks;
• 1 can (160 g) canned fish (in its own juice);
• 4 things. eggs;
• 1 bunch of fresh herbs - onion, parsley, dill;
• 30 g butter;
• 1 tsp. dried herbs (Italian);
• 1-2 tsp. Sahara;
• 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• 120 ml. cream (20%);
• 1 tbsp. l. sesame;
• salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation:

The finished puff pastry is removed from the packaging and then defrosted. It is not recommended to defrost puff pastry in the microwave, as its structure is disrupted. When defrosting yeast dough in a microwave oven, the yeast dies, the layers are broken and the baked goods will not rise.

It must be defrosted gradually, without sudden changes in temperature, first in the refrigerator and then at room temperature. It should be borne in mind that puff pastry contains a large amount of butter, which should remain cooled and not melted.

The leek is washed under running cold water, cut into half rings, sprinkled with sugar and a mixture of dried herbs, then mixed and fried in butter until soft for 10-15 minutes, then cooled.

Eggs (3 pcs.) are dipped in hot water and hard-boiled for 10-15 minutes. Then the boiling water is drained and the boiled eggs are poured with cold water. As soon as the water becomes warm, drain it and fill it with cold water again, after which they are peeled and cut into cubes or chopped on a coarse grater.

Washed and dried fresh herbs are chopped and mixed with leeks and eggs, then canned fish, softened with a fork, is added. The filling is seasoned with spices, mixed and salted to taste.

To fill, combine cream with beaten raw egg, add salt and pepper.

The table is sprinkled with flour and the dough is rolled out on it into a rectangular layer, part of the layer is cut off to form the top of the pie, the rest is transferred to a baking sheet, raising the edges along the sides, the filling is laid out, then poured with creamy sauce, and 2-3 tbsp. l. The sauce is left to grease the pie.

The rest of the dough is divided into strips and placed on top of the filling. Grease the pie with filling, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake in an oven preheated to 180 C for 35-40 minutes.

Cherry caramel flavor

If you take large sweet and sour cherries (for example, varieties “Chernaya Krupny”, “Nochka”, “Vstrecha”), our pie will not only be cooked quickly, but will also be eaten quickly. Children will certainly come running to “reconnaissance”, feeling the aroma of cherry caramel. And they will even be happy to help.

Puff pastry pie with cherries will require certain products:

• 150 - 200 grams of cherries;
• puff pastry (without yeast) - one pack;
• cane sugar (one tablespoon);
• half a table spoons of butter;
• salt (on the tip of a knife);
• dried rosemary;
• cinnamon.

We act according to this plan, step by step.

1. Wash the cherries and remove the pits.
2. You can leave the berries whole or cut them into halves.
3. Let's sweeten them a little.
4. Heat a frying pan and melt the butter.
5. Add cherries, sprinkle with sugar, add our cinnamon and rosemary.
6. Simmer for about five minutes, remembering to stir.
7. Roll out the dough and place it in a greased baking sheet (you need to make sides so that you can then put the filling inside, and lightly pierce it with a fork or knife).
8. Place the dough in a hot oven (200C). We'll get it in five minutes.
9. We place our cherries in a “dish” of dough (leveling them in an even layer).
10. Put it in the oven again.
11. In 15 minutes the treat will be ready (use the dough sides as a guide)

Before putting cherry filling into the pie (like any other filling after heat treatment), it is better to wait until it has cooled.

Puff pastries - general principles and methods of preparation

A special feature of making puff pastry pies is rolling it out into several very thin layers. To make this dough more elastic, food acid is added to it, which helps increase the viscosity of flour and proteins.

The finished dough is rolled out into a rectangular layer, the thickness of which should not exceed ten millimeters. The dough must be rolled out very smoothly and slowly, equally in all directions, otherwise the baked goods will not rise well.

The finished dough must be left in the refrigerator for forty minutes. Baked products should be rosy, golden, and when pressed with a knife they should rise without sagging.

Pie with fish and rice in the oven

Open layer pie - especially tasty with trout or salmon:

• 600 g white fish fillet;
• 1 kg yeast puff pastry;
• 3 pcs. onions;
• 100 g rice;
• 1 tbsp. l. flour;
• 1 PC. egg;
• salt, ground black pepper;
• 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;

Rice is washed several times in cool water to remove starch. Then pour in cold water in a ratio of 1:2 - 200 ml of water per 100 g of rice, salt to taste, then cover with a lid and cook over low heat until fully cooked.

The fish fillet is cut into pieces, salt and pepper to taste. The onion is peeled, washed and finely chopped, then fried in vegetable oil until golden brown, and flour is added at the end.

The dough is defrosted, then divided into two pieces. Most of it is rolled out and placed on a baking sheet.

Place boiled rice on the layer in an even layer, a piece of fish on top, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and finish with a layer of onion. Then the layers are repeated.

The top layer of the pie is decorated with strips of dough, making a lattice out of them.

Combine the yolk with 1 teaspoon of water, mix and brush the pie. Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.

We use fresh berries

When fresh berries are in season, it would be a shame not to use them for baking. Moreover, any are good, either individually - raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and others - or assorted berries. Let's not forget about strawberries. Fragrant, sweet - it fits perfectly. The recipe for puff pastry pie with strawberries (not even a pie, but a real cake) is not at all complicated.

To implement it, you will need:

• half a kilogram pack of puff pastry;
• a glass of heavy (at least 30%) cream;
• strawberries (two and a half glasses);
• condensed milk (a whole can).

We will proceed as follows.

1. On a floured work surface, roll out two sheets of dough (up to 2 mm thick).
2. We divide each into 3-4 squares.
3. We place special paper on the bottom of the baking sheet and bake each square on it for 7 to 10 minutes.
4. Using a mixer, turn the cream into thick sour cream. Continue beating the future cream, adding condensed milk in a thin stream.
5. Place the first cake layer on a flat plate and brush with the resulting cream. Top with a layer of strawberries, then again dough and cream.
6. We alternate layers until there are no cakes or berries left.
7. We generously cover the top and sides of our quick cake with cream, decorate with berries and crumbs from the leftover cakes.
8. After 4-5 hours, which the cake will have to spend in the refrigerator, all the cakes will generously absorb the cream and aroma of fresh strawberries.

How to make salmon pie

The salmon pie turns out juicy and tasty, since it is the fresh red fish that provides the necessary amount of fat to the filling. The resulting baked goods are nourishing, tasty and aromatic.

Compound:

• 500 g puff pastry;
• 450 g salmon;
• 2-3 onions;
• salt and spices to taste;
• olive oil.

Preparation:

Chop the onion into pieces and fry in olive oil until transparent over medium heat.

Red fish fillets are cut into 1 cm cubes, then fried with onions, and finally salted and seasoned with spices.

The sheet of dough is placed on the mold. It is not necessary to lubricate it with oil, since it contains a sufficient amount of fat, which is released onto the baking sheet during the baking process.

The salmon filling with fried onions is placed on the layer, covered with a second layer on top, the edges of which are folded under the bottom of the pie. The pie is slightly pressed onto the baking sheet so that the edges are slightly secured to each other.

A hole is made in the middle, then brushed with egg and baked in an oven preheated to 200 C for about 30 minutes.

Puff pastries with meat

These pies are easy and quick to prepare, and you will need a minimal amount of ingredients to create them. In addition, you can safely experiment with the filling. You can put one type of meat inside the dough or mix several types of meat.

Ingredients : 500 grams of meat or prepared minced meat, 2.5 cups of flour, three-quarters of a cup of fresh milk, 1 egg, a pinch of baking powder, 150 grams of butter.

Cooking method

Grind the butter and flour into crumbs, add milk mixed with baking powder and a lightly beaten egg to the resulting mass. Salt everything and form a ball of dough. You can’t knead it, you just need to consolidate it into a homogeneous mass and leave for ten minutes.

After that, the dough must be divided into two equal parts, rolled out and greased with melted butter. Next, the dough is rolled into a roll, from which a bun is made, which should cool in the refrigerator for about half an hour.

At this time, the filling is being prepared. Grind the meat in a meat grinder, fry with onions in butter, add salt and pepper to taste.

Next, you need to take out the dough, roll it out thinly, and using a glass, make identical round pieces for the pies, in the middle of which put the minced meat. Carefully pinch the edges of the pies, brush them with egg on top and place in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Nuances of preparation

Everyone loves puff pastries, but they come not only with different fillings, but also baked or fried in different ways.

Cooking in the oven

Baking in the oven is the easiest option. The pies must be placed on a baking sheet covered with baking parchment and baked at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Cooking in a frying pan

Puff pastry pies in a frying pan are, according to many, the most delicious option. But there are some nuances here too. You can fry pies in butter, vegetable oil or even lard.

Everyone has their own tastes, but the principle of frying is the same. The oil is heated in a frying pan until lightly sizzling, then the pies are placed there and fried over medium heat until golden brown. You should not leave the stove at this moment, as a few extra seconds may cause the pies to burn.

Cooking in a slow cooker

Everything is quite simple here. Any instructions for a multicooker tell you what time and mode the baked goods should be cooked in it. Place the pies inside, set the desired mode and time, and wait.

Puff pastry pies with meat

You can choose absolutely any meat for the filling. The meat must be finely chopped or minced in a meat grinder, turning it into minced meat. In addition, you need to finely chop the onion and add it to the minced meat. Next, you should add a little spices and salt to taste and mix the filling thoroughly.

In different variations, the meat filling can be mixed with vegetables, eggs, herbs, potatoes or rice. The dough for pies must be rolled out and cut into pieces large enough to form a pie. The filling is placed in the center of a piece of dough and, in fact, the pie is formed. Bake the pies in the oven until done.

Filling ingredients:

• 500 g minced meat
• one third teaspoon sugar
• 500 g puff pastry
• salt to taste
• 2 small onions
• 2 eggs.

Preparation procedure:

1. The minced meat should be defrosted. The onions need to be peeled and finely chopped. Mix minced meat, salt, sugar, onion.
2. Thaw the puff pastry. Sprinkle the table with flour and place the dough on it. The dough layer is rolled out and cut into pieces for pies.
3. The filling is placed in the middle of one part of the dough, the corners of the part are connected and secured in the shape of a pie. The filling must be carefully wrapped in the dough so that it does not leak out during baking.
4. Line an oven tray with parchment paper and then place the pies on it. In a small container, beat the egg, adding salt first. Each pie is coated with this mixture. The oven is heated to 180 degrees, and then a baking sheet with pies is placed there. The pies are baked in the oven for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

The meat pies are ready and can be served.

Puff pastry pies with apples

Apple filling is a little more difficult to prepare than cottage cheese filling.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg apples
• Butter
• Sugar.

Apples are peeled and cored and cut into medium cubes. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan, and then add chopped apples. The filling is fried for about 4 minutes, then 4 tablespoons of sugar are added to it.

The filling is fried for about three more minutes and then cooled. It is necessary to drain the juice from the filling, if there is any left, and you can prepare puff pastry pies with apples directly.
