Puff pastry is very convenient to use for quick preparation of pastries for tea. Of course, you can make the puff pastry yourself, but still the purchased one is much more convenient. And if you wanted something delicious for tea, you can easily make a puff pastry pie with various fillings without any hassle.
Today I suggest making a puff pastry cherry pie. Cherries can be taken both fresh and frozen. Frozen cherries are especially pleasant to prepare a pie in the winter, when there are no fresh berries.
To make a cherry puff pastry pie with frozen cherries, take the products from the list.
Today I am making a small pie, out of half a 400-gram pack of dough, and you can increase the amount of ingredients, only one egg is still needed, it is used to grease the dough. Defrost the puff pastry and roll out slightly. If there is no suitable shape, do as I do - just shape the sides.
Defrost pitted frozen cherries, drain off excess liquid. Mix berries with sugar and starch.
Beat the egg with a fork and brush over the dough before adding the cherries. This is done in order to create a film on the dough, otherwise the juice can moisturize the bottom layer too much. Lay out the berries and make a net of dough strips on top. To make the stripes stick well, grease the sides with a beaten egg. And on top, we will also smear the mesh with an egg so that the pie is golden.
Place baking paper or a Teflon rug on a baking sheet and bake the cherry puff pastry pie at 200 ° C for 20 minutes (look in your oven, the pie should be nicely browned). Cool the finished pie completely, so it will be easy to cut into pieces. Brew fresh tea and serve the pie.
Puff pastry can be easily mastered by any cook. Moreover, frozen flour products are now sold in almost every store. Therefore, it will not be difficult to please the family with a delicious dessert in a hurry. What is the best choice for a sweet filling? The cherry pie made from puff pastry will definitely be successful. Thanks to the sweet and sour taste of this berry, baked goods will not be cloying, and even those who follow a diet are unlikely to resist a piece of such an appetizing dessert.
What is the cherry in the pie for? This is not just a tasty and juicy berry, but also healthy. It works well for the heart, liver, intestines, nervous system, kidneys. Also, with its use, vision improves, cholesterol decreases and the hemoglobin index increases. Thanks to the antioxidants contained in the berry, the aging process slows down in the body.
But with caution, it should be used by those who have an increased acidity of the stomach or have an ulcer, gastritis, disturbances in the digestive tract.
As for the use of berries as a filling, cherries can be used for this in any form:
Depending on the form in which the filling will be and on the recipe, the following ingredients are added to the fruits: granulated sugar, starch, vanillin, other berries or fruits. You can also diversify the taste of the pie by adding dairy products to the cherry: cottage cheese, sour cream, cream.
As mentioned above, the easiest way is to use ready-made dough for the cake, as in this recipe. But, if you wish, you can do it yourself. The filling in the form of cherry jam or jam, where the berries have already been processed, the seeds have been removed, simplifies the task even more. In any case, whether it is a fresh cherry or a blank, the pie will be very tasty.
The frozen ready-made dough must be kept at room temperature for some time to thaw. Next, you need to divide it into two parts so that one of them is slightly larger than the other. The layer that turns out to be larger will be the base and sides of the cake. The smaller part is for the top of the product.
1. The defrosted dough for the bottom layer should be rolled thinly 2 cm larger than the diameter of the mold (for the sides). Grease the container with butter or vegetable oil and put the dough there, making sure that the sides are neatly distributed on the sides of the mold.
2. The next step is to prepare the filling. Cherries, if fresh, rinse well, remove all seeds and let the excess juice drain for 20-30 minutes. Then add granulated sugar to the bowl with the berries and mix everything. If this is jam or jam, then the task is simplified, sugar is not needed.
Of course, until the end, all the moisture from the cherries will not go away; during baking, it will also be released. Therefore, the dough that forms the bottom of the cake must be sprinkled with some kind of astringent ingredient. This can be starch, bread crumbs, or cookie crumbs, as in this recipe.
3. Biscuits must be chopped with a blender or covered with a towel and tapped with a kitchen hammer (use whatever comes handy). Sprinkle the resulting crumbs on the dough in a thin layer.
4. Top with cherries mixed with sugar or berries in the form of jam.
5. Now the cake should be covered with the second part of the dough. You can simply lay the layer on the filling, twisting the edges together, pierce it with a fork, so that the evaporating juice of the berries comes out. But a festive cherry puff cake will look more festive if its top is made in the form of a lattice or pattern.
In order to finalize the product, it is necessary to cut the remaining dough into strips approximately 3 cm wide. They should be slightly longer than the diameter of the pie. Five stripes must be laid out horizontally, starting strictly from the middle.
Then bend the first, third and fifth and lay a transverse strip in the middle, bend back. Fold up the second and fourth strips and also lay a transverse strip. Then again bend the first third and fifth, repeat the steps. Lay the remaining strips in this order. Cut off excess dough with a knife and pinch the edges with the bottom layer.
1. Spread the beaten egg over the top of the dough.
2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the cake for 25 minutes, periodically checking the readiness by the color of the crust. It must be wheat.
3. After this time, take out the cake and let it cool down. Take it out on a nice plate or stand, sprinkle the product with powdered sugar, you can use a strainer to distribute it more evenly.
In the context of the cherry puff pastry pie looks even more appetizing. Thanks to the large number of berries, it turns out to be incredibly juicy, and the sweet and sour taste of cherries is in perfect harmony with the puff pastry. Tea drinking with this dessert will bring real pleasure to you and your guests!
Continuing the cherry theme. This year, our fruit trees delight with the harvest, we make supplies for the winter: we freeze berries, make compotes and jam and of course bake pies.
Cherry pies are incredibly tasty and aromatic, which hardly anyone can resist. Today I made a cherry pie using yeast puff pastry.
I used purchased dough.
When preparing this pie, the puff pastry must be divided into two parts, one made slightly larger than the other. But since I had separate layers of equal dimensions, I baked cookies from the excess of the second half.
Roll out the defrosted dough taking into account the small sides, that is, see 2 more than the diameter of the mold.
Making a cookie crumb, I used a blender as an assistant.
The finished result.
