Pie dough: how to knead? Video
“The hut is not red with corners, but red with pies,” an old Russian proverb says. In a house where pies and pies are often baked, it can be warm and cozy. For a long time, recipes for pies were inherited from mother to daughter. In modern cooking, there are a huge number of recipes for pies. They are made from yeast, puff and shortcrust pastry. Almost any product is used as a filling: meat, fish, potatoes, cabbage, fresh berries and fruits, jam, mushrooms, cereals.

Dissolve the yeast with sugar. Melt margarine over low heat, pour cold milk into it, stir and cool to room temperature. Then pour the margarine-milk mixture into the grated yeast and mix with pre-sifted flour.
Knead all the ingredients into a dough. Knead it until it is elastic and begins to come off your hands. Then transfer the dough to a floured work area and make a pie or pies with it.
Pies and pies can be baked from shortcrust pastry, which cooks very quickly and, if necessary, can be stored for a long time in the refrigerator. For him you need to take:
