Recipe for yeast dough with whey

Whey dough for pies, pies and other baked goods

If you dare and prepare cottage cheese at home, do not rush to pour the by-product such as whey that remains during all the manipulations with milk or kefir into the sink. After all, you can find a worthy and “tasty” use for it. It can serve especially well if you are planning to make pies or pies. This is where it makes a great liquid base for your dough. And it doesn’t matter whether you plan to fry the pies or bake them in the oven. In any case, rest assured that if you use whey-based yeast dough prepared using the sponge method for baking, your products will turn out very tender and fluffy. By the way, baked goods made from such dough remain soft for quite a long time, unlike those made from dough based on kefir, water or milk. You can experiment for yourself.

Ingredients:

  • 1 selected chicken egg;
  • 650 ml. whey;
  • 40 g granulated sugar;
  • 12 g salt:
  • about 1100 g flour;
  • 14 g fast-acting dry yeast;
  • 100 ml. vegetable oil.

You can add a couple of dessert spoons of mayonnaise - this will add even more fluffiness to your baked goods. If you plan to make sweet products, use vanillin and increase the amount of sugar by 50%. You can dilute vegetable oil with melted margarine.

  • Dough preparation time is approximately 80 minutes.
  • Yield: 2 kg of finished dough.

How to make yeast dough with whey:

Warm the entire serum to human body temperature (maximum t = 40 °C). Pour about a third of the liquid into a bowl and dissolve all the granulated sugar, yeast and a small handful of flour in it. Leave the dough mixture alone for at least ten minutes (activation time depends on the freshness and quality of the yeast).

While the dough is activating, shake the egg and salt thoroughly (if you want, use a whisk or mixer) until the grains of the latter are completely dissolved.

As soon as the yeast mixture “puffs up” into a cap, combine all the “wet” components (salted egg slurry, butter, remaining whey and dough) in one spacious cup, but first stir the dough well so that carbon dioxide comes out of it.

Then add flour in small portions, constantly stirring the contents of the cup.

When the consistency of the dough becomes more or less dense, place the entire mass on the table and knead very well, adding flour if necessary. Place the slightly sticky dough back into the cup (do not forget to grease its bottom and walls with oil so that it is easier for the dough to “step” to the top) and, covering with a towel, leave for at least half an hour to rise. It’s better to cover the cup with the dough with a high lid or another cup so that you don’t have to tear the dough off the fabric later.

If your home is warm, then literally after 30 minutes (maybe a little more) the dough will rise, doubling in volume. Tip the cup onto the table and knead the dough thoroughly again.

Return it to the container and wait for it to rise again. This will take about another half hour. Once the volume of the dough has doubled or tripled, carefully move it from the cup to the table and you can begin to shape the products.

Quick yeast dough with whey for savory pies

  • wheat flour - 0.5 kg;
  • fast-acting dry yeast - 11 g;
  • whey - 0.25 l;
  • butter - 100 g;
  • sugar - 20 g;
  • salt - 5 g.
  • Pour the whey into a small saucepan and crumble the butter into it. Heat over low heat, stirring until the oil is completely dissolved in the whey.
  • Wait for the liquid mixture to cool to approximately 35 degrees.
  • Sift the flour, mix it with salt, sugar and quick-acting yeast.
  • Combine the liquid base with a mixture of bulk products, kneading a moderately dense dough that does not stick to your hands.
  • Wait for the dough to rise. This will take about 30 minutes.

The quick-release dough is used immediately after it has been risen, otherwise it may fall. This dough option is suitable for both sweet and snack pies.

Whey yeast pies

Whey in dough is no worse than milk (and for pancakes, for example, or fluffy dumplings, it’s even better). Since it is a cheap by-product of making cottage cheese, it is very beneficial to use for baking and I bake everything with it that I bake with milk. Today you will be offered whey pies in the oven stuffed with cabbage. Yeast dough, prepared with dry yeast. The filling can be anything, sweet or savory.

And in this article we told you how to make quick pies with cabbage —->>

Whey buns without yeast

yeast-free buns

Recipe ingredients:

  • whey - 500 grams;
  • soda - 1 tsp;
  • granulated sugar - 1 tbsp. l.;
  • a small pinch of salt;
  • spread - 250 grams;
  • whole grain flour - 400-450 grams.

In this section we will tell you how to properly prepare aromatic and sweet whey buns in the oven.

Cooking process:

To knead the dough, I use a bread machine in the “fresh dough” mode, but I don’t start working with it immediately after the end of the mode (for me it’s 1.5 hours), but wait until the dough rises to the edges of the bowl.

Then you need to sprinkle the table well with flour and carefully place the whey dough on it.

Bringing the edges towards the center, stir in the pie dough a little so that it can be rolled out. Roll out in a thick layer and cut out round pieces with a wide glass.

Place stewed cabbage, squeezed out of liquid, on the center of each piece and pinch the edges. Place the pies on a baking sheet, seam side down (I don’t grease the baking sheet, but sprinkle it with flour and semolina).

To make the pies brown, you can grease them with yolk whipped with sugar, but it’s faster, easier and cheaper to use sweet water for the same purpose. Just lubricate the workpieces with water very carefully so that it does not fall on the baking sheet.

Leave the prepared pies with cabbage to rest for 15-20 minutes.

We bake pies on whey at a temperature of 150-180 C on the middle level of the oven.

The finished pies need to be separated from each other and cooled on a wire rack.
