How to beautifully roll puff pastry buns. Forms of buns made from yeast dough and how to make beautiful buns

Many people love puff pastry for its tenderness and versatility. After all, you can make puff pastries with various fillings, from jam to meat. Store-bought puff pastry is a bit expensive and not always tasty, so many housewives prefer to buy puff pastry (or make it themselves) and bake it at home. We'll tell you how to wrap puff pastries in a variety of ways so that homemade baked goods please not only the stomach, but also the eye.

Triangle

This is one of the simplest and most popular ways to wrap puff pastry. This way you can make puff pastries with cottage cheese, jam, jam, mushrooms, chicken, cheese and any other filling, because it will be inside the triangle. Rolling a puff pastry into a triangle is as easy as shelling pears:

1. cut the dough into squares. The size can be any, the main thing is to maintain the square shape. Usually they make 10 by 10 cm;
2. put the filling in the middle. There shouldn’t be a lot of it (1 tablespoon of filling per 10 by 10 square);
3. Close the edges of the puff pastry tightly with your fingers so that the filling does not leak out.

Ready. When baking, the puff pastry will swell and become fluffy. And even if you take a bite of the pie and don’t immediately get to the filling, it will still be delicious, because the puff pastry itself is soft and light.

Cheesecake

You can wrap puff pastries in this interesting way. Layered cheesecake differs from the classic one in its shape: it is not round, but square or diamond-shaped. For such a product, only thick (viscous) fillings are suitable, because liquid ones can leak onto the baking sheet. Let's learn how to make puff cheesecakes:

1. fold the dough square into a triangle (without pressing);
2. make a cut as in photo 3 (not all the way);
3. open the triangle back into a square and coat the edges with egg (for better gluing);
4. we cross the corners (as in photo 5);
5. Place the filling in the center.

The puff pastry is ready!

Butterfly

A very unusual way of wrapping puff pastries, suitable for sweet products. The filling should again be viscous. Let's look and remember:

1. it all starts like in a cheesecake: a triangle, a cut, a development;
2. We grease the middle of the square with the egg;
3. as in photos 4 and 5, glue the corners to the middle;
4. Place the filling into the resulting cells.

The result is very beautiful lush butterflies, which after baking can be additionally decorated with powdered sugar and red currants, for example.

Bow

Many people remember puff bows from childhood. There were no fillings in them, but this did not make the products less tasty, because the bows were sprinkled with sugar. It turns out that wrapping puff pastries in this way is not at all difficult:

turn the square into a triangle;

make 2 cuts as in photo 3;

We wrap the resulting tail around the two side “ears”, forming a bow.

Sprinkle the finished baked bow with powder or grease with liquid jam. An excellent light dessert for tea.

Kare

The ideal puff shape for meat and mushroom fillings. The wrapping method is a bit like the cheesecake technique (at least it all starts exactly like that).

You have made dough for buns, pies and pretzels, but you don’t know how to cut the dough so that the baked goods turn out beautiful - see step-by-step photos.

Beautiful buns

Cutting "Orchid": roll out, cut out a square, fold into a triangle, make cuts along the sides, leave a section of dough without a cut, unfold the square, connect the cut strips in the center.

Cutting "Peony": roll out, cut out a square, fold into a triangle, make cuts along the sides, leave a section of dough without a cut, unfold the square, fold the triangle with other corners, make cuts. Unfold the square and connect the cut strips in the center. Place the filling into the flower petals.

Cutting "Curls": roll out the layer, season with filling, roll into rolls on both sides, cut across.

Baking cutter “Rose”: roll a bun, roll out a circle, make 4 cuts at equal intervals, put the filling in the middle, roll the rose petals one by one.

Butter “Bows”: roll into koloboks, roll out circles, fold the circle in half, make 4 external and 3 internal cuts.

A simple flower made from yeast dough: roll the sausages, connect them into rings, put the filling on the two walls inside the ring, connect them in the center, as shown in the photo.

Beautiful puff pastry: roll a bun out of it, roll out a circle, grease with filling, roll into a roll, cut the roll lengthwise, twist two puff ribbons together, connect the ends to make a roll.

How to make “Piglets” from rich yeast dough. Roll out the circle, make a small cut on top, bend the corners - ears. We sculpt the piglet's piglet at the bottom, bending the edge and flattening it a little. The piglets' eyes are made of raisins.

Butter "Mushrooms": A circle is rolled out, which is then cut into pieces (see photo) and laid out in the shape of mushrooms.

"Croissants". Roll out the circle and cut it into triangles, cutting from the center to the outer edge. A cut is made on the outer side of the triangle in the middle and the filling is laid out at its end. The croissant is rolled up from the outer edge to the center.

Bun “Bird”: Roll the sausage, wrap one edge around your index finger and thread it into the resulting ring. Using a small pinch, press the dough into a beak shape. The tail needs to be flattened and cuts made, giving the appearance of feathers. The eyes are the highlight.

Here are simple versions of beautiful buns made from sausages. By the way, even a child can make such forms. Involve the little ones in this fun baking process. At the same time, you will develop fine motor skills and imagination.

How to decorate pies

Flower cake decoration: Roll out the layer into a round shape, place a bun of filling in the center. Carefully distribute the rest of the filling around the circle, leaving space from the edges and the central bun. Cover the top with another layer of dough. Using a small bowl or tea cup, press the edges around the center filling. Trim the outer edges with an openwork knife. Then evenly cut the dough with the filling that goes along the outer ring. Turn each “petal” slightly so that the filling is facing up.

Cutting a loaf of bread. Roll the flagella into sausages and weave them into a loaf, as shown in the step-by-step instructions in the photo.

Here are the options for decorating the edge of the pie.

Cutting the dough “Pigtail” or “Spikelet”

The simplest version of “Pigtails”. A rectangle is cut out of the rolled out dough layer and a longitudinal cut is made in the center. Then, one edge is threaded through the resulting hole several times. This way the edges curl into a spiral. The filling is placed in the center.

"Pigtail with sausage". Three sausages are connected at the top edges. Then a slice of sausage is placed between them. Intertwined like a braid. The right harness is placed between the left and the center, then the left is placed between the right (which is now on the left) and the center (which is on the right). Again, a slice of sausage is placed and the braiding continues.

Sausage in “Pigtail” dough. This delicacy is sometimes called “Obzhorka” in culinary shops. The sausage is placed in the center of the dough cake. Then the edges are stuck to each other, and the sausage wrapped in dough is cut into equal parts. Each polka is turned sausage side up and placed one after another on different sides from the middle. Place in the oven when half cooked. Sprinkle cheese, herbs on top, grease with mayonnaise or ketchup (optional). And finish baking until ready.

Beautiful bun “Spikelet”. This type of baking is simple to make and looks very beautiful. Roll out a thin layer, grease with vegetable oil or egg, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (poppy seeds). We roll the roll, which we then cut with scissors slightly obliquely, as shown in the photo. We put the resulting “spikelets” into one large beautiful bun.

And this is a simple pigtail with poppy seeds. The sausage is covered with poppy seeds and cut with scissors, placing the petals on different sides.

I want to cook something special for the holiday. And offer a new interpretation of already known and beloved dishes. So it's time to check out some new food design ideas!

Our review today is dedicated to creative cutting of dough - from the simplest to real masterpieces of flour production.

Putting ideas in the piggy bank!

Buns made from strips and layers of dough without filling

You can make beautiful buns from the “sausages” of yeast dough. To prevent the strips from sticking together, the sausage must first be greased with egg. And then wrap it with an ornate line according to the pattern you like.

From a small rolled out strip you can make a flower bun, a bow bun, or a leaf bun.

For children, we definitely make baked goods in the shape of animals.

From a layer of puff pastry you can make a stylish bun with a large bow.

Baking based on rolls

Original spikelets, buns and bread can be made on the basis of rolls. Various schemes for cutting dough with scissors are used here.

We make the spikelet as follows: sprinkle the dough “sausage” with poppy seeds. Then we make cuts in the roll at an angle of 45 degrees, and lay them out in a “pigtail”.

Similarly, we make spikelets stuffed with poppy seeds or cinnamon with sugar.

You can make a rosy wreath from a roll with sugar and cinnamon.

If you cut the roll into pieces and place it on a baking sheet, you can make cinnamon rolls. When ready, fill the buns with chocolate glaze, concentrated syrup, nuts with sugar or other delicious decoration.

Decorating the edge of the pie

Open pies and pizza can be decorated in a special way by decorating the edge in advance and filling it with filling.

Original filled pies

Adults and children love pies. You can surprise and delight your loved ones by making them in the shape of roses, animals, curls, apples and other fruits and vegetables. Thus, you can make themed pies for a specific event or for a specific person.

Stuffed pies

Large stuffed pies can be decorated in the shape of a funny turtle. The relief on the shell can be made using imprints of cups or dumplings.

Stuffed flower pie can be made with any fairly thick filling or with a combination of two fillings. Place the filling on the bottom layer and form a center and a ring. Then cover with a second layer of dough and fix the center with a plate. We fasten the ring around the edge and make cuts, unfolding the dough like flower petals.

We make a stuffed ring pie with the filling peeking out using special cuts in the center of the dough layer and fold it towards the edge.

Stuffed pie in the shape of a fish is made from puff pastry or yeast dough.

Country pie with minced meat and eggs is also quite beautiful and colorful. This dish will surely delight your guests!

We form a bunch of grapes from small round pies with filling and decorate with carved leaves and vines. Here is the finished culinary masterpiece!

The stuffed pie can be perforated. For such a pie, a thick filling made from pieces of meat, cabbage, and apples is suitable.

Two-color pies

Pies and buns made from two-color dough are very original. We make them according to the principle of the well-known Zebra pie, coloring half of the dough with cocoa powder. And then everything depends on your imagination. You can put snow-white balls of dough into a baking dish and fill them with the dark part of the dough, you can bake multi-colored cakes and make a cake out of them, or you can connect two layers of light and dark dough, make two rolls and use them to make colored butterflies.

Decorative bread

It is our custom to greet guests with bread and salt. But where can you get beautiful decorative bread? It turns out that you can bake it yourself. There are a lot of worthy options. Let's get to know them:

Open pies and pies

Open pies and pies can be decorated not only with an original edge.

We make puff pastry pies with the effect of an opening flower from two square layers, cutting the top one.

We now make charlotte with apples in a new format. We spread a curd filling with the consistency of thick sour cream onto the shortbread dough, and decorate the top with apple roses.

We decorate pies with berries and jam filling with decorative pieces of dough.

We make open puff pastry pies with meat filling.

We decorate pies and pies with a border of dough and sausages. To do this, place a sausage between two layers, secure it, make cuts and unfold it.

You can make rose pies with pieces of boiled sausage.

Open pie with pear and cottage cheese is very healthy. We fill the shortcrust pastry base with pears, cut into rings, without separating them. We lay them out in the shape of a flower and fill them with liquid curd filling. Bake.

We make a pear pie from a puff pastry and half a pear. Original and simple!

Pie "Santa Claus"

For the New Year's holiday, it is worth baking a pie with one of its symbols. We suggest making a pie with the image of Grandfather Frost.

Now, fully armed, let's start experimenting with original baked goods!

Simple puff pastry masterpieces:

Puff pastry flowers

Build the puff pastries following the instructions in the picture. All you need for this is sleight of hand and a sharp knife. Don't forget about the filling: place dried apricots or prunes in the center. Before serving, decorate each puff pastry with jam to taste. If the occasion is festive, then show your imagination: draw foliage with balsamic sauce.

Openwork cookies with apples

Roll out the dough into a circle. Cut it into triangles. Place grated red apple filling in the center of each slice. Make two cuts on each side and wrap the filling as shown in the picture. Bake cookies in the oven.

Cheesecakes

Making such a beauty is not at all difficult. Cut the rolled out puff pastry into squares. Bend each square diagonally, making an envelope, as in the picture below.

Now the main creative moment begins. Using a sharp knife, make cuts on the triangles, stepping back a centimeter from the edge and, not reaching the sharp end, also a centimeter. (see picture below). Uncover your square and brush it with egg white using a brush. Now, carefully taking the cut edges, we lay them as in the figure below. All that remains is to put the filling and go into the oven.

Puff pastry scallop
The very name of this confectionery product speaks for itself. Our puff pastry is a delicious filled pie that looks like an ordinary scallop (albeit slightly pot-bellied). Moreover, a scallop is not just a shape, it is also one of four ways to close a pie, along with a side, a pocket and a border.

Cut the rolled out layer of puff pastry into rectangles. Place the filling on each one. Here you can give free rein to your imagination and use what you love: chocolate, jam, a mixture of flour, butter and sugar (horiz), fresh fruit, nut, meat, mushroom filling, cheese, etc.

Now, fold our rectangle in half, as shown in the figure and, using a special gear wheel, process the edge.

Puff pastry curl
Curl is a beautiful name, isn't it? The product itself looks no less beautiful. And how delicious it is!!! These exquisite puff pastries really look like curls, and they are not at all difficult to make.

Roll out the layer of puff pastry, forming one large rectangle, sprinkle it with filling.

And you need to cut the roll into pieces 1.5-2 cm thick. We open each piece, as shown in the figure below, and place it on a baking sheet.

Puff pastry butterfly
Take a closer look, you see what butterflies are - bright, fragrant and incredibly tasty. And they are made from the same puff pastry. Prepare the filling, fruits, nuts and create...

First, roll out the layer and cut it into squares. Now the process of work is almost the same as when making cheesecakes. We also fold the squares into triangles, cut them, open them and brush them with egg white.

Now, take the cut tip on one side, then on the other and connect it. Place the filling into the resulting windows. You can decorate the finished products with whatever you want - halves of canned apricots, grapes or any berries, nuts, sprinkles.

Puff pastry bow

Bow - on a hot summer day, such a tasty treat will come in handy. Cream cakes are not advisable during this period, but bows made from puff pastry look very impressive on the table, as they look festive. Children enjoy this treat.

Fold a standard square of rolled out puff pastry into a triangle. Now we make two cuts. As can be clearly seen in the photo above. You need to do them by moving the knife from the sharp edge to the base, 1 cm short of the edge. We wrap the resulting strip (the width of which is 1 cm) around the base several times. Our bow can be baked. When it's ready, sprinkle it with powdered sugar or spread apricot marmalade. Crispy deliciousness...

Puff pastry rack

Preparing this treat will immediately add variety, because you can simultaneously prepare a square of puff pastry with several fillings. And it is done like this:

Roll out a layer of puff pastry and cut it into squares. Fold each into a triangle, and then make a cut on one side, not reaching one centimeter to the edge. Now, carefully taking the edge from the side of the cut, we shift the cut strip to the opposite edge. Such pastries can be suitable not only for sweet dishes, but also as an original snack. It’s just that the squares in this case should be smaller. Fill the space with salad, meat or mushroom filling - this dish has a very refined taste.

Puff pastry braid
The dough braid we suggest you make is very easy to make.

Cut the rolled out puff pastry into thin, narrow rectangles.
In the middle of each rectangle we make a cut one third of its entire length.

Now we can start weaving. We take one edge of the rectangle and pass it through the resulting hole, then again and so on until we get such a beautiful braid (see photo below).

Puff pastry croissant
Airy puff bagels with the beautiful name croissants are known and loved by both children and adults.

To prepare them, roll out the puff pastry in the shape of a rectangle or circle, as you prefer. Then cut it into long triangles. We wrap each triangle, starting from the base, with a roll. It turns out just as cute as in the photo below.

Brush the top with egg yolk and place in the oven. Croissants can have a wide variety of fillings.

Puff pastry medallion
You probably already realized that many product names directly describe what exactly this or that puff pastry looks like. Take, for example, medallions. It is immediately clear that this is a sweet decoration, although its purpose is somewhat different from that of jewelry pendants. Yes, and it’s much easier to do.

We cut the rolled out layer of puff pastry into squares, which we then fold in half, forming triangles. Now, stepping back from the edge by 1-1.5 cm, starting from the base, we make cuts on both sides of the triangle. Moreover, you need to make the cuts in such a way that they do not reach the upper corner of the triangle by one and a half centimeters.

Now, taking the edges of the cut strips, we connect them together and create a “bed” for the filling, as was done in the photo below. Fill it with filling and you can send the medallion to the oven.

Half a puff pastry croissant
The croissant halves themselves look very attractive. Small, neat, they just beg to be tried as soon as possible. And they need to be made in almost the same way as whole croissants.

It’s only when the triangles are ready to be folded that they are cut in half along their entire length. When wrapping the roll, you need to hold the cut side so that the edge is smooth and beautiful, without protrusions. After the puff pastry is baked, this edge is sprinkled with powdered sugar, sprinkles, and dipped in melted chocolate, marmalade, or glaze.

Puff pastry strip

Absolutely all members of the older generation remember puff pastries from Soviet school canteens. Our strips are somewhat similar to them, but they look much more appetizing, and besides, they are also filled.

So, having rolled out a layer of puff pastry, spread the filling over half of it, sprinkle with sesame seeds or nuts and fold the sheet in half, placing the free edge on the half with the filling. Carefully straighten and cut into strips, the width of which we determine to your taste. Sprinkle the finished strips with powder and decorate.

Puff pastry mesh
We will also use the classic design of the pie - a mesh - when making puff pastry.

For this we need a special device, a roller stamp. Having cut out identical squares from the rolled out layer of puff pastry, we divide them in such a way that we get the same number of smooth squares and squares with a mesh. After treating the smooth part with egg white, spread the filling on it and cover the top with a mesh. Bake. To make the surface shiny, you can, if desired, brush the product with egg yolk before baking. The decoration of these layers can be very different.

Puff pastry snack
Translated from English, snack means a light snack. So we suggest you prepare delicious puff pastries that will be very convenient for a snack.

As always, carefully, trying not to press down, roll out the puff pastry. We arm ourselves with a special device and draw a line consisting of thin horizontal stripes in the center of the rolled sheet. If there is no roller device in the house, use a knife. To make it easier for you to make horizontal cuts, visually divide the sheet in front of you into three equal parts. The central part needs to be processed. Then, put the filling directly on our strips, sprinkle it with sesame seeds or nuts and overlap it with smooth edges.

Puff pastry snail

Cover the prepared rolled layer of puff pastry with the filling, distributing it evenly over the surface. Sprinkle sesame seeds, raisins, nuts or cinnamon on top - whatever you like, and carefully roll up the roll. Then, armed with a sharp knife, cut it into slices (1.5-2 cm each). Place each slice flat on a baking sheet and place in the oven.

Chocolate puff pastry bread
A favorite breakfast for schoolchildren, preschoolers, as well as fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, puff bread with chocolate can be classified as the most popular puff pastry. There are no special tricks in making it, and the product turns out very tasty and satisfying.

Roll out a layer of puff pastry, place the chocolate filling on one edge and carefully fold, not with a narrow roll tube, but with wider twists. Brush with egg yolk and place in the oven. After baking, you can decorate at your discretion.

Puff pastry flower

And finally, a real masterpiece of confectionery art - a puff pastry flower. Everyone who sees and tries it will ask you for the secret of making such beauty. So elegant, yet so easy to make.

Cut the rolled out dough into squares. (To make sure they are the same, you can use a cardboard template). Then fold each one in half and cut it, moving 1-1.5 cm away from both corners of the base. Open the square. Do not rush to remove the cut strip. Just grab some opposite edges first and connect them, then the other and connect them all in the center.

You will get a flower on a stand. Fill the spaces with filling and send your product to the oven.

Among the variety of species and hybrids of philodendrons, there are many plants, both gigantic and compact. But not a single species competes in unpretentiousness with the main modest one - the blushing philodendron. True, his modesty does not concern the appearance of the plant.

But as soon as the heat of the day subsides, our small but real enemies immediately appear - mosquitoes.
