Under the crimson clouds
Homemade raspberry pies are a miracle how good they are. With the yeast puff pastry “We Eat at Home”from” Siberian gourmet”, it will be especially easy to bake them. It is prepared on the basis of yeast dough with the addition of muffins. The main subtlety is that in addition to margarine, butter is added to the recipe. It makes the taste of baking more multifaceted, saturating with pleasant creamy notes.
The thawed plate of yeast dough is rolled out a little and placed in a greased round shape, we make beautiful neat sides. We put it in the oven at 180 °C for 10-15 minutes, so that the base is browned and covered with a crust.
Separately, beat 5 egg whites with a mixer into a persistent foam. Continuing to beat, pour in small portions of 100 g of powdered sugar, 1 tbsp. l. starch and 1 tsp. vanilla sugar. Then pour 50 ml of olive oil in a thin stream.
The resulting thick mass is spread out in an even layer in a form with a baked dough base.
For the filling, we will take raspberries “Planet of Vitamins”. Proper freezing allowed the berries to preserve the most delicate texture, sweet juice and delicate aroma that raspberries are so famous for. You just need to carefully defrost them at room temperature and dry them on a paper towel. We melt 300 g of fresh raspberries in a protein filling, placing the berries quite close to each other. Grind 100 g of butter on a grater, rub with 100 g of sugar, mix 200 g of flour and grated lemon zest. The resulting loose crumbs evenly fill the filling. In this form, we send the pie to the oven at 180 °C for half an hour.
Inventive Cherry
The desire to please your family with something special arises spontaneously. However, there is not always the strength and time for this. The solution is simple — prepare a tricky cherry pie. To do this, we will need fresh puff pastry “Siberian gourmet”. It is prepared according to the traditional recipe from natural ingredients and without any preservatives. And its main highlight is the Altai butter, which gives the baking a rich creamy notes.
Defrost the plate of the finished dough at room temperature. After dusting the work surface and the rolling pin with flour, we roll out a rectangular layer with a thickness of 3-4 mm. With a sharp knife, carefully cut it into strips 2-3 cm wide.
For the filling, we will take 300 g of cherries “Planet of vitamins”. Fresh natural berries, thanks to fast freezing, have preserved their original taste and useful qualities. In addition, they have already carefully removed the bones, so you do not have to do this for a long time and painfully. We defrost the berries in advance, dry them and lay them out on a dough base as close to each other as possible. Lightly sprinkle the berries with powdered sugar and starch. Spread the dough strips on top. Cover with beaten egg yolk and put the mold in the oven at 200 °C for 20 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar.
Strudel in a new way
I want to surprise my friends who came to visit with something unusual. For example, strudel with peaches and blackberries. Here you can completely do without a capricious exhaust dough. It will be organically replaced by fresh puff pastry “Siberian gourmet”. The texture of the pie will be tender and layered, and the taste will be rich and voluminous.
Cut a large peach into slices and mix with 300 g of blackberries. If you couldn’t find fresh berries, take frozen blackberries “Planet of Vitamins”. Each package contains large juicy berries that have preserved not only a unique taste with a rich sourness, but also a beautiful appetizing shape. Sprinkle the mix of peach and blackberry with lemon zest and pour 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add 5-6 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of starch, 1 tsp of cinnamon and a pinch of vanilla to the filling.
After defrosting a plate of puff pastry, roll it out into a rectangle measuring 35 × 40 cm. We step back from the long edge about a third and cut this section with strips 1 cm wide to get a fringe. For the rest of the dough, spread the filling, stepping back from the edge of 1-2 cm. Roll up the roll, cover with a fringe of dough, grease with yolk and bake for 20 minutes at 200 °C. Then reduce the temperature to 180 °C, pour the roll with syrup from light jam and bake for another 20 minutes. You can serve creamy ice cream with a warm strudel.

Defrost 2 plates of yeast puff pastry. One is rolled out into the thinnest possible square layer and transferred to a greased baking sheet. Evenly distribute the berry filling and turn the edges of the dough around the perimeter. As a result, you should get a square pie with sides and an open middle. The second plate of dough is slightly rolled out and cut into small ornaments (stars, diamonds, hearts). Spread on top, grease with egg yolk and bake the pie for 20-25 minutes in the oven at 180 °C.
