Fluffy Yeast Dough Pies with Apple Filling

Surprisingly tasty and airy pastries! Pies like fluff are made from yeast dough with kefir. When I did this kind of baking for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. The dough turned out so soft and light. During proofing, the pies rise before your eyes. Ready baked goods do not go stale for a long time. You can use any filling for the pies. This time I made apple pies. Very tasty and satisfying with milk or tea.
