Small cheese pies


Delicious little pies. If I have Vienna sausages, I put them in the filling too and all you have to do is to take tomato sauce for the great food :)

 

200 g flour

120 g margarine

30 g fresh or 2 tsps. dry active yeast

90 ml milk

2 tsps. sugar

salt

100 g grated cheese (I used Gouda)

1 egg

 

Put flour, margarine, salt to the blender bowl and blend till crumbs. Rub yeast with the sugar and milk. Pour milk to the flour and knead the dough. Then roll the dough thinly, cut in squares (about 10×10cm). In the middle put cheese and press opposite coners of the dough to make an envelope. Put pies on baking tray lined with baking paper. Coat pies with beaten egg. Bake 15-20 minutes in 180°C preheated oven.

Potato bread


At last I found bread that my hubby really enjoyed eating it :) Yeah… For long time I baked only bread without the crust. But now I have big hopes that we will make a break with it and start baking this potato bread. By the way, the taste of this bread is slightly similar to “švilpikai” :)

 

(2 small loaves or 1 kg loaf)

500 g superior grade flour

1 tsp salt

15 g butter

7 g active dry yeast

250 g cold mashed potatoes

about 250 g warm water or milk

sunflower oil for greasing baking forms

 

Pour flour and salt to a bowl, rub in butter, mix in yeast. Put mashed potatoes and rub in the flour. In the middle make a hole and pour water just to make soft and quite sticky dough. On the floured surface knead the dough till it becomes smooth and tensile. Form a ball and put it in the oiled big bowl. Cover with the oiled cling film and let rise in the warm place for an hour or till the dough will double. Take out the dough on the litely floured surface and punch a few times. Knead untill the dough will be smooth and tensile. Grease with the oil baking tins. Devide the dough in halves, form loaves. Put them in baking tins, cover with oiled cling film and let stand for 30 minutes or till the dough will rise. Bake in 230°C preheated oven 10 minutes, then low down the heat to 200°C and bake for 20-25 minutes more or till the bread will brown. Knock the loaves bottom. If you hear hollow sound – it’s ready.


Notes: I prepared dough in bread machine. Then took the dough, kneaded a little bit, formed a loaf and put it to bread machine form just without mixers. Left to rise for an half-an-hour, then baked about 40-50 minutes.

Buns with bacon


We don’t eat smoked bacon with onions and bread often, just sometimes :) But after visiting family in farm we got a big cut of smoked bacon. So I baked buns with bacon. I just love them, but my hubby don’t. Anyway, I baked and froze a lot of buns, so now I have snack or breakfast for a long time:)

 

Dough:

500 g flour

250 ml milk

15 g fresh or 1 tsp dry active yeast

15 g sugar

50 g margarine

pintch salt

Filling:

250 g smoked bacon

1 onion

1/2 tsp allspice

50 g dried bread crumbs

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp clove

Coating:

1 egg + 1 tbsp water

 

Heat milk and pour into the bowl. Put yeast and one teaspoon of sugar into the glass and rub, till yeast becomes fluid. Then pour in milk (milk should be less then 35°C), put half of the flour and whisk. Sift with the flour, cover with towel and put bowl in the warm place to rise. After 2-3 hours put the rest flour, salt, sugar and knead. At the end of kneading pour melted margarine. Knead the dough untill it won’t stick to the bowl and your hands and you’ll see air bubles. Even the dough in the bowl, coat with fats and put in the warm place to rise again.
Chop onion and saute in a pan with a little bit of butter. Into the same pan put fine-cut bacon and let them warm (don’t fry). Take off the heat. Put seasonings, bread crumbs and mix.
Roll the dough to 1 cm thickness. Cut with the glass rounds. Fill the dough round with one teaspoon of the filling and press the edges well. Put buns in the baking tray with the joint down. Let rise, coat with an egg and bake till the buns browns.
