Yeast dough cake
This recipe has been known since time immemorial.Perhaps, it is this recipe that can be considered one of the ancient recipes of Russian cuisine. This is the recipe that our grandmothers and great-grandmothers used. Well, it is very good to know the recipe of your predecessors and be able to bake an apple pie from yeast dough. Ingredients:
- Fresh milk - 1 glass;
- Chicken egg - 2 pieces;
- Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon;
- Granulated sugar - 3 tablespoons;
- Salt - a pinch;
- Dry yeast - 1 small packet;
- Melted butter - 1 tablespoon;
- Wheat flour - until the desired dough consistency;
- Vanilla sugar - 1 packet;
- Apples - 1 kilogram.
Preparation:First, you need to knead the yeast dough. Since it will be rich, it needs to be put on the dough. To do this, we dilute the yeast with warm water until it becomes a paste, and then dilute it with milk. Dissolve two tablespoons of granulated sugar, salt and vanilla sugar in milk with yeast, break raw eggs into it, and pour in vegetable and butter. Now mix everything very well and add sifted wheat flour, making a dough of the consistency of liquid sour cream (like pancake dough). Put the dough in a warm place and leave it to rise. When the dough rises and then begins to settle like a funnel, knead the dough. To do this, mix the dough and gradually add sifted flour, kneading a soft, elastic and thick dough that can be rolled out with a rolling pin. Knead the dough very thoroughly, and then cover it with a clean towel and leave it to rise again. When the dough rises and increases in volume three times, knead it, gather it into a ball and put it on a table sprinkled with flour. If necessary, mix flour into the dough to make it easier to roll out. Now, using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a layer five to seven millimeters thick and put it in a greased baking pan, covering the bottom and sides. Cut off the dough that goes beyond the sides of the pan and roll it into a ball. Leave the dough in the pan to rise - it should become a little fluffier. In the meantime, turn on the oven, which should heat up to 180-200 degrees and prepare the filling and decoration for the pie. Wash the apples, peel them and remove the hard middle with seeds. Then cut the apples into thin slices and put them in a layer on the bottom of the pan with the dough. Sprinkle the apples with the remaining granulated sugar. From the dough that remains after trimming, we form long narrow flagella or roll it out into a thin layer and cut into narrow strips. From the flagella (strips) of dough, we lay out a diagonal lattice on top of the filling, and we wrap the dough from the sides of the form onto the pie, forming an even, beautiful edge. Grease the top of the pie with egg yolk and send the form to the oven, where we bake the pie until a golden brown crust forms. We take the finished pie out of the oven, remove it from the form and sprinkle it with water. Then we cover it with a clean towel and leave it to cool.

For some, a recipe for good old charlottehas always been and remains the recipe for the most delicious apple pie. If you still don't know how to make charlotte, then its recipe is at your service! It is noteworthy that for the dough all the main ingredients are taken in the same amount - exactly one glass. By the way, if you break the eggs included in the recipe and pour them into one container, you will also get one glass! Ingredients:
- Chicken egg - 6 pieces;
- Wheat flour - 1 cup;
- Sugar — 1 glass;
- Vanillin is a pinch;
- Salt - a pinch:
- Fresh apples - 5-6 pieces;
- Cinnamon - 1 tablespoon;
- Powdered sugar - 1 tablespoon.
Preparation:Separate the cooled eggs into yolks and whites. Combine the yolks with sugar and vanilla and grind until white. Or better yet, beat this mixture with a mixer. Now pour all the flour (sifted!) into the mixture and knead a viscous sticky dough. Turn on the oven, which should heat up to 170-180 degrees, and grease the baking pan (preferably with removable sides) with vegetable oil and dust with flour. Wash the apples, peel them and remove the seeds and hard core. Then cut the apples into thin slices and arrange them beautifully on the bottom of the pan. Beat the whites into a strong, stable foam that will not flow out of the pan if you turn it upside down. Then gradually, one tablespoon at a time, add the protein foam to the dough, stirring it very carefully each time. The finished dough should be fluffy and slightly runny. Pour the biscuit dough into the apple pan and bake the charlotte until a dry toothpick comes out clean (about forty minutes). Turn the finished pie over onto a plate so that its bottom becomes the top of the charlotte. When the biscuit has cooled, sprinkle it with a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon.
