Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a delicious kefir pie with semolina in the oven? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can add nothing at all to the manna or add berries and dried fruits. I decided to add apples stewed in sugar syrup. It turned out very tasty and aromatic!

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the apples from seeds (and, if desired, peel) and cut into medium slices.

Step 3

Step 3
Place chopped apples, sugar, and lemon juice into a saucepan.

Step 4

Step 4
Place the saucepan on the stove. Stirring gently, simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. The exact stewing time depends on the variety and cut of fruit. The apples should retain their shape. They shouldnʼt boil into mush! This is an important point, so do not move far from the stove. Stewed apples can be replaced with fresh ones.

Step 5

Step 5
Now prepare the ingredients for the dough. Take the highest grade flour. A lot depends on the quality of the semolina. The grain must be clean and of the highest quality. I prepared manna with different grains. And the most delicious and porous ones are obtained with yellow grains. It is a little larger, more textured than white. Large, selected eggs are needed. Kefir should be at room temperature, so remove it from the refrigerator in advance. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour semolina with kefir at room temperature. Mix thoroughly, breaking up any lumps, and leave to swell for 40 minutes.

Step 7

Step 7
Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy. The mass should increase in volume by 2-3 times.

Step 8

Step 8
Add soft butter at room temperature to the beaten eggs and beat again. If you want to reduce the calorie content of the pie, you can add less butter, for example 50-60 g.

Step 9

Step 9
Add swollen semolina, baking powder and salt. Beat everything again until smooth. No flour is needed in this dough. But if the dough turns out to be too liquid, you can add 1-2 tbsp. l. without a heap of sifted flour. It will take away excess moisture.

Step 10

Step 10
Place the stewed apples into the dough and gently stir the dough with a spatula. Depending on the thickness of your dough, you may or may not add syrup from the stewed apples. I added just a little so that the dough didn’t liquefy too much and all the apples didn’t sink to the bottom.

Step 11

Step 11
Transfer the dough into a baking dish (Ø 18-20 cm) greased with vegetable oil and smooth it out. If you have a silicone mold, you donʼt need to lubricate it with anything. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C for 35-40 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven and the thickness of the cake. Bon appetit!
