Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake sorrel pie with sorrel in the oven? Prepare all ingredients. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your taste. The filling can only be made from sorrel, but cottage cheese perfectly complements and softens the sorrel sourness, so it’s better with it. The dough is kneaded without eggs, making it especially soft and tender. You will need cold, even ice-cold water, so keep it in the refrigerator first. Use cream of any fat content.

Step 2

Step 2
Melt the margarine in a water bath or in the microwave, but not completely. Add sugar to margarine and stir until it dissolves.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sifted wheat flour and half a teaspoon of baking powder. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished cake will be more tender.

Step 4

Step 4
Grind the margarine with the liquid ingredients into crumbs with your hands.

Step 5

Step 5
Make a well in the mixture, pour cold water into it and quickly gather the crumbs into a ball of dough. It should be dense, elastic and slightly flaky. With this method of kneading, the dough is slightly different from classic shortbread; after baking it looks like a puff pastry. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Step 6

Step 6
While the dough is resting, prepare the pie filling. Wash the sorrel leaves well and cut into small pieces with a knife.

Step 7

Step 7
Grind the cottage cheese with sugar and cream. There is no need to beat it into a paste. The filling tastes better when the cottage cheese remains in grains.

Step 8

Step 8
Prepare the dough into two unequal parts. Roll out a larger piece of dough into a round layer. Place this layer of dough into a greased pan, making sides.

Step 9

Step 9
Place sorrel and curd filling on top.

Step 10

Step 10
Roll out the second piece of dough into a round layer and cover the filling with it, pinching the edges. Prick the dough on top with a fork to allow steam to escape from inside.. Cover the pie dish with foil so that the sorrel filling is well baked, and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. The exact time depends on the features of your oven.

Step 11

Step 11
Remove the pie from the oven, let it cool slightly and serve. Enjoy your tea!
