Yeast Plum Pies

These plum yeast pies aren't as simple as they seem at first glance. You might think, "What's so special?" A simple dough with a simple fruit filling. Well, in our case, things are a little different. The dough is indeed simple, but the filling is prepared in a unique way. In fact, it's not prepared at all! Place a plum half on a flattened dough surface, replace the pit with a cube of refined sugar, and top with the other plum half. Next, shape the pie and repeat the process with the remaining plums. The result, after baking, is a wonderful treat with a golden-brown crust on the outside and a delightfully juicy center, possessing a delicate sweet and sour flavor.

After baking, plum pies need to be allowed to cool until warm. Otherwise, you risk burning yourself with the hot filling. Furthermore, after "resting," it will thicken slightly, which will improve the flavor of the pies.

If your apartment is cool, yeast dough for pies may take longer to rise than stated. Be sure to wait until the dough has doubled in size, otherwise the dough won't be fluffy enough.

Yeast pies with jam are delicious in any season: winter or summer. Especially since the filling doesn't require fresh berries or fruit, just a homemade preserve with your favorite jam. While you can certainly use store-bought dough, we highly recommend making your own. The recipe is simple: first, make the dough starter, then knead the dough. The hardest part is kneading it. It's quite versatile in flavor, so any filling pairs well with it. Fruit or berry jam is ideal, but if you don't have any on hand, preserves will work just as well. To prevent the jam from running out of the pan, thicken it with starch, flour, or semolina. We're sure no one will refuse these delicious pies!

Yeast pies made with potato broth are an example of how to organize a zero-waste production process. You've boiled the potatoes for the pies, so why not use the broth? After all, it's rich in starch and other substances released from the potatoes during cooking. This is fantastic for the dough. It will be soft, pliable, and have a crispy crust thanks to frying in oil in a pan. Yes, these pies taste better fried, even though it's not very healthy. With our recipe, you'll make delicious lean pies without any animal ingredients. For an even better flavor, we'll add fried onions and fresh dill to the potato filling. Use crumbly potatoes for the pies.
