In my opinion, this is one of the most delicious meat pies. I have tried different recipes, but this one is a puff pastry with minced meat, not only the most delicious, but also light. The only problem is the chance to overeat. The pie is hearty, but it is very difficult to stop. It makes me want to reach for one more piece.
For the filling, I recommend using two types of meat - lamb and beef. Be sure to include plenty of onions. Then you will get a real oriental layer cake similar in taste to samsa. The recipe also calls for herbs. It doesn't matter if you put spinach, parsley or dill - in any case it will be juicy and tasty.
For the filling, cut the meat into small cubes, add the diced onion and chopped greens. Pepper and salt. Put 4 tbsp. soy sauce or marinade sauce. Stir. With such a filling, you will get a Tatar-like pie 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, they make it easier to transfer the cake to a dish.
Lay out the filling in an even layer, retreating from the edges by 5 centimeters.
Close the pie with the second rolled out sheet of dough. Blind the edges by lifting the edge of the bottom cake and bending it over the top.
Bake the cake in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degrees.
This is how juicy the filling of a puff pie with chopped minced meat will be.
This cake is the same, but here I scrolled the filling through a meat grinder and added chopped potatoes. The cake turned out very tender, very satisfying and very tasty. You choose for yourself what kind of minced meat to put - chopped or ground.
Enjoy your meal!
Minced puff pastry pie is perfect for morning tea or unexpected guests. Using ready-made dough saves not only time, but also the strength of the hostess. At the same time, the quality of finished baking is not inferior to products made from homemade dough.
So let's make a puff pastry pie.
Required Ingredients:
- one pack (500 g) of ready-made puff pastry;
- 600 g minced meat (a mixture of beef and pork);
- one bulb of onion;
- two raw chicken eggs;
- 30 g butter;
- 20 ml of vegetable oil;
- salt;
- ground black pepper;
- 40 ml heavy cream.
Cooking
How to cook puff pastry with minced meat? First of all, you need to prepare the dough. This recipe uses ready-made frozen puff pastry. It must be pulled out of the package and laid out on a table powdered with flour or a cutting board for defrosting. This may take from one to one and a half hours. You can use both yeast and yeast-free dough.
During this time, you need to work on the filling for the pie.
Peel the onion, wash, grate. In this case, the filling will be juicier and softer.
Mix minced meat with onion and fry in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil, add salt and ground black pepper at the end of frying. Pour in the cream and simmer until thickened.
Hard boil one egg, cool and peel. Cut into small cubes.
Mix creamy meat filling with chopped egg.
In the meantime, divide the puff pastry into two parts and roll both with a rolling pin to the size of the prepared baking dish. In this case, the part of the dough, which will be the bottom of the pie, should be slightly larger than the top.
Put baking paper in a mold or grease it with vegetable oil.
Advice! If there is no baking paper, just grease the form with any oil. After that, sprinkle the form with a small amount of semolina, in this case the cake will definitely not burn or stick.
So, you need to lay out and straighten one part of the rolled dough in the form. Be sure to form the sides. Then lay out the minced meat filling, put the second part of the dough on it in an even layer. Roll the sides of the pie into a spiral. Leave the cake in this state in a warm place for a few minutes.
Crack the second egg, separate from the shell and pour into a small bowl. Beat with a whisk until smooth. Brush the cake with a pastry brush.
Important! If the dough is not purchased, but cooked at home, then after shaping, the cake must be immediately greased and sent to bake.
Place in preheated baking oven for about 30 minutes. The temperature should not be higher than 180-200°C. This baking temperature is typical only for purchased dough.
Options for fillings for puff pastry with minced meat:
- you can use different types of minced meat, for example, chicken and pork, turkey and chicken;
- as an additional ingredient, mashed potatoes, cooked rice, cheese, cream or processed cheese are suitable;
- you can diversify the filling with fresh chopped herbs.
Cooking puff pastry at home
If you want to make puff pastry at home, you will need the following products (for 1 kg of finished dough):
- 650 g of wheat flour of the highest grade;
- 440 g butter;
- one raw chicken egg;
- 5 g salt;
- 220 g of water (warm boiled);
- 0.9 g of citric acid.
Important! For homemade puff pastry, be sure to use high quality flour, otherwise the dough will not come out. If you are not sure about the quality of the flour, just add a pinch of citric or tartaric acid when kneading the dough.
Cooking
Mix water, egg, salt, citric acid and flour. Knead the dough.
Soften butter, mix with a small amount of flour, form a cake, put in a bag and freeze slightly for 30-40 minutes on the top shelf of the refrigerator.
Now you need to roll out the dough, put a butter-flour cake on it and wrap it with an envelope. Roll out to a thickness of 1 cm and again wrap the dough in the form of an envelope and put it in the refrigerator to freeze the butter inside the layers of dough. Otherwise, it will just leak out.
In total, there should be 6-8 such rolls of dough and its cooling.
The result is a layer of dough with a thickness of about 5 mm, consisting of numerous layers interleaved with butter.
Such a dough must be immediately molded and baked at a temperature of 200 - 250 ° C.
But you can also cut the finished dough into portions and, putting it in plastic bags, freeze it for later use.
