Delicious, beautiful and fragrant cake acts as a symbol of home comfort and hospitality. There are many versions of the origin of this wonderful delicacy. In almost every country, a pie with a typical local filling is a national dish.
There are several types of pies. Open type - the filling is located on top of the dough, and in a closed pie it is inside. For many centuries, brave cooks from all over the world conducted interesting experiments and created wonderful pies that differ in size, shape and filling.
How to make a cabbage pie
First, let's look at how to cook a cabbage pie. Cooks use a wide variety of products as fillings, but cabbage deserves the most attention, because the vegetable has a noble past.
A light and low-calorie product as a filling for a delicious pie can be freely combined with meat, mushrooms or other vegetables. Sauerkraut is also suitable for this purpose, due to which the taste of the dish gets a peculiar sharpness. I prefer to cook fresh vegetables.
In the world there are about a hundred varieties of cabbage, including: Beijing, Brussels, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese, leaf. I recommend using white cabbage without large veins.
IngredientsServings: - + 10- flour 500 g
- cabbage 1 kg
- dry yeast 7 g
- milk 200 ml
- onions 150 g
- egg 4 pcs
- margarine 100 g
- vegetable oil 20 ml
- salt, pepper to taste
- To begin with, add warmed milk with dissolved yeast to the flour, mix and leave in a warm place. As soon as the dough rises, salt the dough, drive in two eggs, margarine and mix.
- While the dough is wandering and rising, we make the filling. Fry the chopped onion together with chopped cabbage until soft. It will take about half an hour. Next, put two beaten eggs in a pan, a little salt, pepper and simmer for five minutes.
- I divide the finished dough into two parts and leave a small piece for decoration. I cover the bottom of the pan with cooking paper, grease it with oil and spread one part of the rolled dough.
- On the first layer of dough we lay out the filling, and on top we close the second part of the rolled dough. We gently pinch all the edges, and in the center of the pie we make several holes so that the steam comes out.
- I send the pie to the oven preheated to 180 degrees. I bake an excellent treat until brown.
I think, to continue to prove that refinement is preparing quickly, there is no need. I will not say anything about the end result to add a little intrigue. I will say one thing - his taste will surprise.
Cooking Charlotte - Apple Pie
The most controversial and at the same time simple dessert of domestic cuisine is charlotte - a pie with apples. During its existence, the treats acquired various cooking options and won the hearts of many culinary specialists.
Any apples are suitable for cooking. Each variety has a unique flavor. This is where the secret to the variety of apple pies lies. I believe that Antonovka is best suited for charlotte. Apples can be combined with cane sugar, cinnamon, nuts, rum, zest, vanilla, honey and even cognac. The listed components can be added either individually or together. In the latter case, a mixture will be obtained that will provide the cake with a new taste.
I propose to cook apple charlotte based on biscuit dough, characterized by lightness and high sweetness. For an ideal result, approach the process carefully and responsibly.
Ingredients:- Eggs - 4 pcs.
- Flour - 120 g.
- Powdered Sugar - 120 g
- Apples - 300 g.
- Beat the yolks with 100 grams of sugar. I turn on the mixer at maximum power. I whip the whites separately in a white foam, combine with the remaining sugar and continue to whisk until the mass is condensed.
- I combine whipped proteins with yolks and mix well with movements from the bottom up. Next, pour flour into the mixture and mix everything thoroughly.
- It remains to grease the form with oil, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, put chopped apples and pour in biscuit dough. To make the pie as even as possible, in the center of the mold we make a small depression. After the form is sent to the oven and baked at two hundred degrees for about 25 minutes.
Charlotte is a versatile, simple and extremely tasty dessert that goes well with coffee or black tea.

History of the origin of pies
The first treat, which in its filling and form resembles a pie, was prepared by the ancient Egyptians. Cooks, trying to satisfy the wishes of their pharaoh, baked honey, nuts and fruits in the dough and gave it a primitive form. This fact is confirmed by drawings found by archaeologists on the walls of tombs.
The ancient Greeks often baked meat in dough from flour and water, so that it became juicy and acquired a rich taste. This ancient recipe resembles a modern meat pie.
According to some historians, in Russia they began to prepare pies much earlier than in European countries. Indisputable proof of this is the entry in the diary of Adam Olearius, which he made after returning from Muscovy. In his notebook it is said that in Russia they meet and treat guests with a pie - a wonderful national dish.
In the old days, in the territory of modern Russia, young wives baked fish or meat pie in order to treat their husband's relatives and demonstrate culinary talents.
The classic version of the open pie is Italian pizza with fruit, fish, vegetable or meat filling. For the first time, they began to prepare this original cake in ancient Rome. Lukullou, a well-known commander of those times, constantly treated guests with an open round pie baked on charcoal. Nowadays, barbecue is cooked in this way, and in those days people managed to bake.
Modern step-by-step recipes for making pies are significantly different from ancient recipes, however, something mysterious and unknown in them remains as before.
