Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lean yeast dough for pies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Sift the flour through a fine sieve to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the baked goods more fluffy and airy. Take the highest grade flour, wheat.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour dry yeast into a bowl. Add some warm water and stir. Let the yeast disperse — stand for about 5 minutes. Keep in mind that there are different types of dry yeast, so read the instructions on the package on how to use yours.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sugar, salt, vegetable oil to the yeast and stir. Use refined, odorless vegetable oil.

Step 4

Step 4
Gradually add sifted flour to the yeast mixture and knead the dough. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the consistency of the dough. It should be moderately thick, but not stiff, soft and not sticky. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour. I usually put the bowl of dough in the turned off oven. It may take longer — it all depends on the activity of your yeast.

Step 5

Step 5
This is how it rose for me within an hour. The dough is completely ready to use. You can use it to make pies for frying in a pan and baking in the oven. The filling can be anything — sweet or savory. Even products without filling, such as buns or flatbreads, will be good.

Step 6

Step 6
And I decided to make these flatbreads in a frying pan. They can be eaten with soup or simply with tea. Bon appetit!
