Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to knead dough like fluff with kefir for pies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Sift half of the prepared flour into a deep, clean, dry bowl, add the yeast and mix everything well. I recommend using half the flour first, and then adding in parts, because all manufacturers have different flour with different amounts of gluten and you may need less or more of it. Therefore, we will determine its exact quantity during the process.

Step 2

Step 2
Heat the kefir to a temperature of 30-35 degrees, this can be done on the stove or in the microwave, just do not overheat it so that it does not curdle. Pour the kefir into a small deep container. Next, pour in refined vegetable oil, add sugar and salt, mix everything well until the sugar and salt dissolve.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour the kefir mixture into the flour mixture.

Step 4

Step 4
Start kneading with a silicone spatula or spoon. The dough will gradually begin to thicken. Next, add the remaining flour in parts, which also needs to be sifted.

Step 5

Step 5
Transfer the dough that has gathered into a lump, which should still be quite sticky, onto a work surface sprinkled with flour — I used a silicone mat, it is very convenient to do any manipulations with the dough. Continue kneading.

Step 6

Step 6
What consistency should the dough be? As soon as the dough stops coming away from your hands, it is ready and we do not add any more flour. It is possible that you will have some flour left over. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. It should be soft, elastic and pliable. Form a bun. I weighed the dough, it came out weighing 800 grams.

Step 7

Step 7
Transfer the kefir dough with dry yeast into a deep bowl, cover the top tightly with cling film. Leave the dough in a warm, draft-free place for 30-60 minutes. Knead the light dough for the pies, divide it into equal parts and you can prepare the pies. From this amount of dough I got 12 pieces weighing 60-70 grams each. Accordingly, you will get 12 medium-sized pies. Cook with pleasure!
