Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pies from puff pastry without yeast? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Remove the puff pastry from the freezer in advance and defrost according to the instructions on the package. I recommend using mixed minced meat (pork, beef and chicken). Use Dijon mustard, not spicy.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onions and rinse with cold water. Chop as finely as possible. If you donʼt like onions, you can skip this step and not add them to the minced meat.

Step 3

Step 3
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Use any hard cheese, the main thing is that it is of high quality and melts well. You can replace it with unbrined mozzarella, suluguni or Adyghe cheese.

Step 4

Step 4
Add chopped onion, grated cheese and mustard to the minced meat. Mustard can be replaced with mayonnaise (1 tablespoon). Pour in a spoonful of refined olive or sunflower oil.

Step 5

Step 5
Add salt and pepper to taste and mix the mixture well until smooth. The filling is ready. In addition to salt and pepper, you can add suitable spices to the minced meat at your discretion, but be sure to check whether they contain salt, otherwise you risk oversalting the meat.

Step 6

Step 6
Take one layer of defrosted puff pastry and roll it out slightly to approximately 5mm thickness. Using a glass or mold about 6 cm in diameter, cut out circles.

Step 7

Step 7
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle of each circle.

Step 8

Step 8
To prevent the pies from tearing during baking, brush the edges of the dough circles with egg white, then mold them into small pies. When modeling, make sure that the edges of the dough are firmly connected. Make a curly seam, it will be more beautiful and reliable.

Step 9

Step 9
Line a baking sheet with quality parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the pies at some distance from each other. Lubricate the surface of the workpieces with yolk. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Since everyoneʼs oven bakes differently, baking times may vary.

Step 10

Step 10
Yeast-free puff pies taste better when hot, but they are also delicious when cooled. To accompany the snack pies, you can serve garlic or any other sauce of your choice, fresh vegetables, and pickles. Bon appetit!
