Whip up kefir pie - general principles of preparation
The undoubted advantages of all these recipes is the minimum set of ingredients and the speed of baking. It takes a maximum of 5 minutes to knead the dough, to prepare the filling from 1 to 5-7 minutes and to bake 20-30 minutes.
The main ingredients of the dough are kefir, flour and eggs. In order for the dough to rise and become airy and tender use soda or baking powder. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, take only fresh eggs, and sift the flour before kneading.
Depending on the type of filling, sugar, butter, mayonnaise and other products may become additional ingredients of the dough.
But the filling itself is a space for imagination. You can use whatever your heart desires. The most popular options are: chicken, canned fish, mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage, egg, greens. And also sweet fillings: apples, dried fruits, berries, jam and jams, and much more.
Basically, half the finished dough is poured into the prepared form, then the filling is laid out, then covered with the rest of the dough. But you can also experiment: for example, leave the top of the pie open or divide the dough into two and not five parts, laying it out mixed with the filling. And you can completely lay out the stuffing first, and then fill it with dough. As you like, there is no exact prescription, the main thing is that the dough is prepared according to the recipe, everything else is at your discretion.
