Puff pastry is a universal product. It can be used for baked goods with sweet, salty, vegetable fillings. Fast cooking dishes are the main plus. Puff pastry dishes are suitable for everyday meals, on the festive table.

Most often in recipes, it is recommended to use store-bought puff pastry, which is affordable enough even for a budget consumer. Puff pastry is yeast-free and yeast-free. Both types of dough are combined with different products, but require different preliminary preparation.
The yeast-free puff pastry is thawed at room temperature, and is immediately ready to form the product.

The yeast puff pastry thaws, forms into a product and stands warm for a while until it fits. The dough preparation time is from 15 to 25 minutes, therefore, when using salty filling that requires a long preparation, for example, meat, the filling must be heat-treated beforehand.

Puff Pastry Pie with Minced Meat

Ingredients:

• puff pastry - 1 pack or 500 g;
• pork - 300 g;
• lard - 200 g;
• onions - 2 pcs.;
• garlic - 2 cloves;
• salt, pepper - to taste;
• vegetable oil for frying.

Twist the meat and lard into a meat grinder. Can be used ready-made minced meat, but home-cooked has several advantages. First, you can adjust the fat content of the minced meat by adding lard. Secondly, there is confidence in the freshness of the prepared product.

Salt and pepper the minced meat, add finely chopped onion. Fry in a skillet, stirring occasionally, no more than 15 minutes. It is necessary to fry the minced meat with the lid open so that the liquid released during heating evaporates. Fry the minced meat for a short time so as not to lose taste qualities meat when baked in a pie.

At the end of frying, add finely chopped garlic and turn off the heat under the pan. Form a circle with 2/3 of the dough thawed beforehand. Lay out in a round shape with high sides, forming a dough side 1.5 cm above the edge of the mold. Put the minced meat on the dough, wrap the sides on top of the filling.

Cut the remaining third of the dough into 2 cm strips. Place on top, decorating the cake. It is important that the filling is not completely covered. Bake at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with herbs when serving.

Puff pastry pie with fish filling

Ingredients:

• puff pastry - 1 kg;
• pollock fillet (or other fish, but preferably sea fish) - 1 kg;
• champignon mushrooms - 300 gr.
• sour cream - 150 gr.
• onion - 1 pc.
• salt, pepper, seasoning for fish - to taste.

In a puff pastry pie, you can put fish filling from any fish - sea, red, canned. The main requirement is that the fish must be boneless. The proposed recipe is tested for taste and value for money on personal experience - therefore it is offered in this version.

Finely chop the pollock fillet. Pieces should be no more than 0.5 * 0.5 cm. Grinding in a meat grinder is not recommended, the fish will lose its juiciness.
Add finely chopped raw onions to the fish, without frying. Salt and pepper.

Some housewives add seasoning for the fish, I prefer not to add anything to the filling, but just add a few cloves before cooking, placing them right on top of the pie.

Mix the resulting minced meat with your hands, slightly pressing down so that the juice slightly stands out. Add sour cream and stir again. The amount of sour cream can be adjusted, the minced meat should be moderately juicy, but without flowing liquid. If you overdo it with stirring, or rushed to slicing frozen fish, strain the liquid through a colander before adding the sour cream.

Draw a fish on a piece of paper, cut it out along the contour, use it as a stencil. Roll out the dough into a layer, half the size of the stencil. Cut out the fish, adding a 2 cm allowance along the edges. We put the dough on a baking sheet, put on top minced fish without reporting 2 cm to the edge. Put mushrooms cut into slices on the minced meat.

We divide the part of the dough that remained after cutting the template into small circles, with which we spread the pie on top of the filling. We form the tail and head, approximately as shown in the picture. We bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for at least 30 minutes.

Puff pastry pie with minced vegetables

Ingredients:

• puff pastry - 0.5 kg;
• vegetable oil for frying;
• mushrooms - 300 gr.
• bulgarian pepper - 2 pcs. (yellow and red);
• green peas or canned corn - 200 gr.;
• tomatoes - 3 pcs.;
• onion - 1 pc.;
• greens - 1 bunch;
• sour cream or mayonnaise - 100 gr.;
• hard cheese - 200 gr.;
• salt, pepper - to taste.

Cut the mushrooms into slices, add water, boil, drain. Fry mushrooms until half cooked with onions, cut into half rings. Cut the pepper into cubes, pour over the tomatoes with boiling water, remove the skin, cut into cubes.

Shift vegetables, salt, pepper, mix with mayonnaise or sour cream. Grate the cheese, mix 1/3 part with the prepared vegetable filling. Put the rolled dough into a baking dish, form sides. Pour out vegetable mince leaving the pie open. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with grated cheese 5 minutes before the end of cooking.

Puff pastry pie "A-LA Khachapuri"

Ingredients:

• yeast-free puff pastry - 0.5 kg;
• hard cheese - 1 kg;
• egg - 2 pcs.;
• salt - depending on the cheese.

Prepare the cheese filling. Grate the cheese. It is necessary to grate on a coarse grater, because when baking, the cheese melts, and finely grated pieces spread between the layers of dough, being lost as the main filling. Add 2 raw eggs, the filling should be slightly liquid.

Any cheese can be used, not necessarily Adyghe. Supermarkets offer a variety of options, but even regular "Russian" cheese will do the trick. The only peculiarity is whether you need to salt the filling or not.

Roll out the puff pastry, form a cake or give it another shape (for example, squares). Put the vegetable mince inside. Close the filling on top, or pinch the edges. Grease the pie with a beaten egg, put in the oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Sweet Minced Puff Pastry Pie

Ingredients:

• puff pastry - 0.5 kg;
• cottage cheese - 0.5 kg;
• eggs - 2 pcs;
• sugar - 100 gr;
• vanilla sugar- a pinch;
• raisins, dried apricots, candied fruits - optional.

Defrost the puff pastry. Mash cottage cheese well with a fork, you can beat with a blender. Add eggs and sugar, stir. The filling should be moderately sweet, and without lumps.

Add raisins, dried apricots, nuts to the prepared filling. It is possible separately, it is possible all together, at will. The main thing is that the total mass of the added product does not exceed the mass of cottage cheese, ideally in a ratio of 1: 2 (1 part nuts: 2 parts cottage cheese).

Add vanilla sugar or cinnamon. Form a base from the dough - a round bowl with sides. To lay out sweet filling... Decorate the top of the pie with strips of dough, laying them in a criss-cross pattern. In the resulting squares, you can put a cherry, another berry. Bake the pie at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve hot with condensed milk or sour cream.

In my opinion, this is one of the most delicious meat pies... I tried different recipes but this one - puff pie with minced meat, not only the most delicious, but also the easiest. The only problem is the chance to overeat. The pie is satisfying, but it is very difficult to stop. I just want to reach for one more piece.

For the filling, I recommend using two types of meat - lamb and beef. Be sure to put in a lot of onions. Then you will have a real oriental puff pastry that tastes like samsa. The recipe also needs greens. It doesn't matter if you put spinach, parsley or dill, it will be juicy and tasty in any variant.

For the filling, cut the meat into small cubes, add the diced onions and chopped herbs. Season with pepper and salt. Put 4 tablespoons. soy sauce or marinade sauce. Stir. With such a filling, you will get a pie similar to the Tatar one, with chopped minced meat... It will be especially juicy!

Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll out one piece and place on a baking sheet. I always use sheets of cooking paper, which makes it easier to transfer the pie to the dish.

Lay the filling in an even layer, 5 centimeters away from the edges.

Cover the cake with a second sheet of dough that is rolled out. Blind the edges by lifting the edge of the bottom cake layer and folding it over the top.

Bake the pie in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degrees.

This is how juicy the filling of a puff pie with minced meat will be.

This pie is the same, but then I turned the filling through a meat grinder and added the sliced ​​potatoes. The pie turned out to be very tender, very satisfying and very tasty. You choose yourself which minced meat to put - chopped or ground.

Bon Appetit!
