Cooking lean pastries. Baking in the post: recipes with photos

Fasting is a very strict, one might say, biased to the composition of the diet period. But he also allows himself to be pampered from time to time. And if you have time, then at least every day.

Pastries in fasting, of course, cannot be rich, that is, containing eggs, milk, butter, and even a modest margarine. The dough is based on only water and flour, however, excellent pies are obtained from such a batch, and especially fast ones that are fried in a frying pan (this, of course, is not quite pastries, but pies), buns, pizza, rolls. That is, everything that the soul and stomach yearn for the most during strict restrictions.

Baking depends on the dough

As a result, the quality of the finished product depends on how successfully the dough is mixed, how and in what quantity the ingredients are selected, how the conditions for its “aging” are met.

Baking during Lent - this is a complete transition to "low-fat" dough: water + flour + salt + a little sugar + vegetable oil. This is a basic recipe for all types of lean pastries, which can also be successfully used for making dumplings, homemade noodles and pancakes.

Experienced housewives know that even with such a limited number of ingredients, you can surprise your household with amazing splendor with loaves and pies. The main thing is to knead the dough correctly and approach the matter with a soul.

As for the test itself, it answers the same - it fits quickly and efficiently, especially if it is kneaded with warm water and stands for several minutes in a warm place. And if the yeast is fresh.

Approximate time for increasing the dough in volume is 30-40 minutes.

Features of kneading on the water

Whatever one may say, but has more advantages than disadvantages. Firstly, everyone has flour and water, which means that homemade bakery products are available to all segments of the population.

Secondly, homemade cakes, no matter how modest the recipe is, are much tastier than store-bought ones. It can be eaten fresh as soon as it cools down - this is an absolute plus.

Thirdly, it does not get stale or moldy longer. The structure is somewhat different from baking - lean baking is more porous and viscous ("rubber"), but this allows it to stay fresh longer.

Varieties of Lenten Test

Despite the severity and uniformity of the components of the lean test, it is still divided into varieties:

1. Yeast.
2. Pirozhkovoe.
3. Custard.

And each can make amazing pastries for Lent. Recipes can begin to learn precisely at the stage of preparing the right dough.

Yeast: 3 cups of water, 8 cups of flour + 6 tablespoons for dough, 4 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, a glass (olive can be used), 100 g of fresh yeast.

Preparing such a dough is simple and quick: mix flour (6 tablespoons), sugar, yeast and water. Let stand for about 15 minutes. This is steam. Then butter and the rest of the flour should be added to it. Just like that, a few minutes - and the dough is ready.

Pie: 500 g flour, 10 g dry yeast, water, depending on the amount of baking: from 400 to 600 g, a teaspoon of salt, 40 g each of sugar and vegetable oil.

Add sugar, yeast, salt and a little flour to a portion of warm water. Leave for 15 minutes until frequent bubbles form on the surface. Gradually sprinkle flour into the dough and pour in the oil. The dough should be soft when kneading. Then it must be left alone for 25-30 minutes - let it fit. After it has doubled in size, the dough should be turned over onto a floured board, kneaded completely and formed into a ball.

Custard: the name is rather symbolic, since the dough is prepared on boiled and cooled to 30 about water. In fact, yeast dough is not kneaded in a water bath. The principle of preparation and ingredients are the same as in the previous recipe.

Filling

Baking in the post can be another delicacy! The dough is dough, but a lot depends on the filling. And here you can use everything that grows in the garden and on fruit trees.

First of all, this is cabbage, adored by the majority. Baking during Lent is not complete without pies with this filling. Cabbage is allowed even on the strictest days, so people use it: pies with sauerkraut, stew, fresh cabbage help out a lot.

For donuts: roll out a layer 3 cm thick, cut out “pancakes” with a small glass and place them in heated oil. In 5 minutes they will inflate and turn into balls. Very fast and very tasty. The only downside to this recipe is that it's inconvenient to flip the donuts in the simmering oil.

For brushwood: the layer should be thinner - 2-2.5 cm. Cut even diamonds from the dough, cut in the middle. Insert one end of the rhombus into the gap formed. Place in hot oil.

Sprinkle both donuts and brushwood on top with powdered sugar.

You can diversify the menu with any yummy, without going beyond what is permitted. Baking for Lent is very diverse. Recipes testify.

Open pie with cucumbers and barley porridge

This pie is very good if the hostess is not bothered by baking in the post. What to cook - the question of every day, but if the family adheres to the fast, then it becomes even more relevant and difficult to solve. But not with pearl barley.

Dough Ingredients:

• half a glass of rye and wheat flour;
• 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• half a glass of water or weakly brewed coffee;
• 1 tsp baking powder (1/2 if it's soda);
• 0.5 tsp salt.

Filling: 100 g of pearl barley (when boiled, the volume will increase three times), 3 medium-sized pickles, 2 medium onions. The filling is easy to prepare - boil the barley, cool, chop the onion and fry in vegetable oil, grate the cucumbers on a coarse grater, add to the pan while the onion is cooking. Simmer them together for a few minutes (until the cucumber smell loses its sharpness), add barley.

Preparation of the dough: in a bowl, mix both flours, baking powder and salt, pour in the oil and stir until crumbs form. Then pour in warm water or coffee. Knead a soft dough, it will not turn out very much. Roll out on a sheet into an even circle (diameter 30x30 cm). Put the filling on it and pinch the edges nicely. Bake at 200-220 degrees for half an hour.

This pie is a great pastry in the post. It is very easy to cook it in a slow cooker, only the shape will be slightly different. Actually, now everyone bakes in this newest kitchen unit in order to save time and effort.

No dessert!

Which sweet tooth can endure long and dull days without your favorite desserts? You can replace them with fruits, nuts, but you still miss the bun.

One thing saves from longing for the liver - pastries in the post. Pies with fruit filling can also be attributed to desserts, but sometimes you want something else.

Strudels, charlottes, lenten dough rolls are quite tasty, which is important - not very high in calories. That's why everyone advises them, even the popular "LiRu" mailing list. The post "Beautiful pastries" during the harsh Great Lent has not lost its rating.

Tip for those who love fudge desserts. When preparing it, you can easily do without cream and milk. For chocolate icing, it will be enough to take a little water, sugar and cocoa powder. Mix sugar with cocoa, pour water so that the mass remains thick enough, and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes.

White fudge must be prepared in the same way: only water and sugar.

Apple roll "Nyamushka"

Dessert baking for fasting, the recipes of which are presented in a wide range, focuses on the softness and subtlety of the dough, the sweetness and juiciness of the filling.

Dough: 300-350 g flour, 5 tbsp. l. refined sunflower oil, 1 tbsp. l. vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Filling: 5 large apples and a little sugar (approximately 100 g).

Preparation: mix the ingredients for the dough, diluting them with a little water. The kneading should be cool. Wrap the finished dough in cling film or foil and leave for an hour in a warm place. During this time, you can have time to make the filling: peel the apples, cut them into slices and mix with sugar.

Put apples on a thin layer of dough (do not take the juice released from them), roll up the roll and put it to bake, after piercing it in several places. The dessert will be ready in 20-25 minutes.

Strudel with pear filling

Pastries in the post, the photos of which look very appetizing, are just as tasty in essence. Pear strudel has a special taste and aroma - this dessert is worth a try.

Despite the apparent complexity of preparation, the strudel is easy to cook.

Dough: flour - 240 g, water - 120 ml, a pinch of salt and 40 g of vegetable oil.

Filling: 500 g of durum pears, 2 pcs. cloves, lemon, 100 g of nuts and raisins, 50 g of sugar, a little cinnamon and a bag of vanilla sugar. Powdered sugar - for decoration.

Preparation: mix all the ingredients, put the dough in the refrigerator immediately after kneading and proceed to the filling. Steam the raisins, chop the nuts, peel the pears and cut into cubes, pour over the lemon juice. Caramelize sugar by adding a little water to it (literally a spoon). Add pears, raisins, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla sugar to sugar. Cook until the liquid has completely evaporated, then mix with nuts.

Roll out the dough thinly, brush with oil and evenly distribute the filling. Collapse. Bake for half an hour at 200 degrees.

Buns "Pumpkin"

The trend during the restrictions is pastries in the post in a multicooker, recipes with a photo of which are full of all culinary resources. The proposed buns are also from this series - their preparation can be easily shifted to the shoulders of a smart machine.

Ingredients: 2 cups flour, 1.5 cups of grated pumpkin, 150 ml of water, a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 50 g fresh yeast.

Preparation: mix flour with sugar and salt, dilute with warm water. Add yeast and place in a warm place to rise. Then add pumpkin and butter to it, mix, form small buns and let them rise again, directly on the baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

Cookies "Fruit Paradise"

Baking in the post is almost two in one: tasty and healthy. Such cookies can be safely baked on ordinary days, when there are no strict prohibitions. Lenten pastries can replace the traditional diet food adherents.

Ingredients: a glass of any of the fruit juices, 1.5 cups of flour, 1 tsp. soda, 3 tbsp. l. sugar, apple, 3 tsp. lemon juice, a little raisins, a bag of vanilla sugar, salt, 50 g of vegetable oil.

Preparation: mix flour with sugar, add a pinch of salt, extinguish soda with lemon juice and stir in fruit juice, add oil. Pour the liquid into flour, add washed raisins, peeled and diced apple, zest and vanilla sugar there.

Knead the uncooked dough, from which with wet hands form balls and put them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Sprinkle the balls with sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 o.

What else can be baked in the post

To make it easier to endure the difficulties of fasting, you can treat yourself to your favorite dish, borrowed from the Italians, who cannot live without flour. Guessed? That's right, it's pizza!

Such a hearty meal will not break the strictness of fasting if you make dough for it on water (it is described a little higher how), and use mushrooms and tomatoes or some other vegetable mix as a filling. Of course, such a pizza should not contain cheese.

There is no easier flour products than pastries in fasting. There are a huge number of recipes from the dish you like, and if one of the housewives considers the preparation itself too laborious (test in particular), then you can simplify your task by buying the necessary one ready-made. On the eve of Lent, it appears in a wide range on supermarket shelves.

You don’t have to bother at all - just cut diamonds out of it, sprinkle with sugar, put a cherry or a nut in the center - and the five-minute cookie is ready. This is the most hassle-free home cooking.

From the dough, kneaded with water, you get a wonderful homemade bread with a loose porous crumb and a crispy crust. With its preparation in the presence of a multicooker and the corresponding function in it, there are no problems either.

Modern technologies allow you to feel what a pleasure it is - baking in the post. Recipes with photos are numerous, the process is performed by a slow cooker, and the hostess can safely go to work or do current affairs without worrying about the result. Either way, it will be brilliant! Bon appetit!

75 g oatmeal;
140 g wheat flour;
3 art. l. any fruit juice;
50 ml of vegetable oil;
1/3 tsp salt;

Advice. If desired, finely chopped dried fruits, nuts, seeds can be added to the dough.

LENTEN MUFFINS

The recipe is so simple that it's hard to believe that something worthwhile will come out of it. But you believe! Absolutely simple, almost primitive - but the result is very, very worthy.

2 cups of flour;
1 glass of any fruit juice;
1 cup of sugar;
6 art. l. odorless vegetable oil;
1/3 tsp salt;
1/3 tsp soda;

Lenten desserts - three recipes for family tea drinking

GALETTE WITH APPLES

Crispy and very tasty, the biscuit captivates with thoughts of usefulness: eating piece by piece, I want to think that whole grain flour brings more benefits than centimeters at the waist, and apples share vitamins more generously than calories.

150 g of ordinary wheat flour;
100 g whole grain flour;
100 ml of vegetable oil;
100 ml of boiling water;
a pinch of salt;
3 large apples;
2 tsp lemon juice;
1/2 tsp cinnamon;
2-3 tbsp. l. Sahara.

In a bowl of sufficient volume, mix both types of flour, add salt. Pour in vegetable oil, rub into crumbs. Pour in boiling water, knead a soft, elastic, non-sticky dough.
Peel the apples, remove the core, cut into thin slices using a vegetable cutter. Sprinkle with lemon juice.

Roll out the dough into a thin round layer. On the entire surface of the biscuit, with the exception of 2-3 cm at the edges, spread the apples in an even layer. Sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon.
We wrap the edges of the biscuit up, carefully transfer it to a baking sheet and bake at a temperature of 200 degrees until cooked - about 25 minutes.

Advice. Add some sea buckthorn or cranberries to apples - the taste will be completely different!

ORANGE CAKE

The taste of this cupcake is very simple and unobtrusive - just what you need to decorate a family tea party. A simple cooking process, a fairly simple result, simple home gatherings. However, do not think that all this simplicity is an indicator of the poor quality of baking - on the contrary, the cake comes out very good: light, fragrant, real.

150 ml of orange juice;
zest of 1 large orange;
150 g of vegetable oil;
150 g of sugar;
380 g flour;
1/3 tsp salt;
1 tsp soda;
2 tbsp. l. water;
1 st. l. vinegar.

Remove the zest from the orange, squeeze out the juice.
Mix orange fresh with vegetable oil (refined, odorless), add sugar, stir until all grains are dissolved. Add salt and vinegar, add flour and knead a homogeneous dough.

In a small container, mix soda and water and add to the dough.
We shift the dough into a greased and floured form, bake until cooked for about 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut after complete cooling.

Advice. If you have time, make additional thick orange syrup and soak the finished cake with it.

Look at honey cookies in olive oil.

GINGER CUP

Like the bulk of lean baking, due to the absence of eggs in the dough, the cake turns out to be rather loose and crumbling, however, in this case this is not a minus, but rather a plus: a minimum of effort - and for tea you have a piece of ginger joy melting on your tongue, nice surprising richness of taste shades.

80 ml of refined sunflower oil;
80 g pitted prunes;
80 g of sugar;
150 ml of strong black tea;
150 g + 1 tbsp. l. flour;
90 g of honey (about 3 tablespoons);
1 tsp ginger powder;
1 tsp cinnamon;
1 tsp soda;
1/2 tsp salt.

First, we brew tea - strong and rich. For a more interesting result, you should take tea with bergamot, orange zest or candied lemon - a citrus note will perfectly fit into the overall flavor range, turning an ordinary cupcake into a stylish treat.
Pour oil into a saucepan, add sugar and honey, stir, put in a water bath and heat until the ingredients are completely dissolved.

Cut the prunes into small pieces, roll it in a tablespoon of flour.
Add soda to a saucepan with honey, sugar and butter, mix - the mass will begin to foam and grow. Excellent, as it should be - add salt, cinnamon, ginger. We add tea. Add flour - mix everything quickly until smooth. The dough will not be thick and runny.
Add prunes, pour into a greased baking dish. In the oven - for 40 minutes, temperature 180 degrees. Readiness is checked with a wooden stick.
The finished cupcake can be decorated with any jam or sprinkled with powdered sugar or cocoa.

Advice. When serving, garnish the cake with finely chopped candied ginger.

Do you know what can be cooked?

Lenten desserts - three recipes for the festive table

LENTENING TRuffle CAKE

Believe me, this is one of the most incredible meatless cakes you will ever try! Incredibly rich, chocolatey, moist and rich in flavor, guests will be blown away. And those who do not fast, by the way, too.

Cakes:
250 ml plant milk (soy, coconut, almond, sesame, oat or any other);
300 g flour;
1/2 bar of dark chocolate;
130 ml of odorless vegetable oil;
130 g of sugar;
3 art. l. cocoa;
1/2 tsp salt;
1 tsp baking powder;
1 st. l. lemon juice.

Fruit layer:
150 ml of any jam with a sour taste (currant, plum).

Cream:
270 ml of strong tea;
300 g dark chocolate.

Korzh. To prepare the cake, heat the milk. Put the chocolate broken into pieces in a saucepan with milk, stir until completely dissolved. Add sugar, salt, baking powder, cocoa, pour in vegetable oil. Gradually add flour - the dough should be viscous, but it's pretty good to drain from a spoon. Pour in the lemon juice, mix again quickly. We spread the mass in a greased form, bake at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 40 minutes, check the readiness with a wooden stick.

We take out the cake from the mold only after it has completely cooled. Cut lengthwise into two equal parts.
Beat the jam with a blender into a homogeneous mass, put it on the bottom cake, evenly distribute.

Cream. We prepare in advance two bowls of different sizes that will fit into each other. Put ice in the big one. Pour freshly brewed warm tea into the smaller one (it’s good if it is tea with bergamot or orange zest), spread the chocolate and stir until it is completely dissolved. After that, we put a small bowl in a large one filled with ice, and begin to whip the cream. It sounds strange, but this is exactly what needs to be done - at first the mass will be liquid (it will start to seem like everything is gone, and the products are spoiled in vain), then it will gradually begin to thicken. At this stage, periodically turn off the mixer and check the consistency of the cream - when the whisks begin to leave a distinct mark on the surface of the cream, finish, because at this moment it is easy to overwhip the cream (in this case, it will be so thick that you cannot grease the cake with it, you will have to cut and lay out in pieces). The final result should be soft, mousse-like and keep its shape well.

Spread half of the finished cream on the bottom cake, evenly distribute over the entire surface, cover with the top cake. Spread the other half of the cream over the top and sides of the cake.
We leave the cake for soaking overnight, after which you can brew coffee and surprise guests.

Advice. Prepare a little more cream - decorations come out of it perfectly, which can be deposited from a pastry syringe.

Dessert for a snack

OAT BARS

It's great when there is something sweet and pleasant at hand - something that can cheer you up, satisfy your hunger and at the same time be useful. How about homemade cereal bars?

2 ripe bananas;
2 tbsp. l. honey;

1/2 cup chopped dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, prunes and others).

We spread the oatmeal on a dry frying pan and dry it properly - a pleasant, distinct smell of oatmeal should appear in the air.
In the same way, lightly fry the mixture of chopped nuts.
Peel bananas, mash with a fork to puree.
Mix nuts, cereals, dried fruits, mashed potatoes and honey. Pour the mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. We level, tamp - the thickness of future bars should not exceed 1 cm.

Bake at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. Cut into sticks, leave to cool completely in the form, after which we separate from each other, if necessary, wrap with baking paper and store in a hermetically sealed container.

Great Lent is not a time for despondency, sadness or dullness. Fantasize. Create. Live to the fullest and enjoy what your days are filled with today.

Why is lean baking so important? The first reason is the pathological lack of time for working women. Therefore, in every kitchen, simple and most accurate recipes are required that give consistently good results. But there are a number of other reasons. Lenten baking recipes are needed for those who follow their figure. After all, a diet is a diet, but households require tasty treats. And it can be very difficult to refuse a fragrant dessert. Finally, there are people who observe fasts. During such periods, lean baking recipes become a real lifesaver and a way to diversify the table.

What is lean baking?

This is a whole trend in cooking, which has been used by hostesses of different nations for centuries. In general, this is cooking without the use of muffins (butter, eggs, milk). At first glance, the task is impossible. How to bake a delicious pie, cookie, cupcake or make buns without muffin? But in fact, everything is simple. Lean baking recipes are very helpful for vegetarians, adherents of a healthy diet, people who fast or suffer from chronic diseases, which involve the rejection of a number of products. Show your imagination, and such delicious smells will float from your kitchen that you won’t have to call anyone - they will come running themselves.

Delicious, fragrant pies

Usually a pie is associated with a large number of rich additives in the dough. Housewives diligently put more butter, eggs, milk and sour cream into it, and then you have to increase the amount of yeast, because baking makes the dough heavier and increases the time required for proofing. Received products must be eaten immediately, on the same day. Muffin makes dessert tasty, but shortens its life, it dries out (especially baked in the oven) just incredibly quickly. Try lean baking recipes - the taste of the products is not much different, but they are cooked faster, easier and cheaper. There are two options for making pie dough: yeast and yeast-free. If you have children in your family, then it is better to do without yeast, as they cause bloating.

Classic yeast dough can be prepared according to your favorite recipe, just replace milk with potato broth or water. You can add soy milk. You can’t add eggs, but replace butter or margarine with sunflower. In the rest - everything is as usual. You will need to dilute the yeast in warm water (1 teaspoon per 2 cups of liquid). After 15 minutes, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 0.5 tsp. salt. Pour a glass of flour, mix, add 50 g of vegetable oil and, gradually adding flour, knead an elastic, moist, but not sticky dough.

If you do not like lush yeast dough, then he offers you another very tasty pie recipe. They turn out quite crumbly, crispy on the sides and tender in the middle. You will need 500 g flour, 100 ml water, 50 ml vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon 9% vinegar. Pour the flour on the table, make a hole, pour in water with vinegar, add salt and knead the dough. Cover it with cling film and leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. You can take any filling. It can be dried fruits, cabbage with mushrooms, potatoes with fried onions. If you prefer a sweet filling (jam), then it is better to form small products.

delicious pies

If you are interested in quick lean pastries, then knead the simplest dough. To do this, take a potato broth, add salt, sugar and flour to it. You should get a soft but elastic dough. For filling pies, mashed potatoes made from boiled potatoes are well suited. Fry them in oil until cooked - and you can enjoy. If baked pies are preferable, then this dough will not work - the products will turn out to be too tough.

Yeast dough comes out softer and fluffier. Take a glass of warm water, pour into a large bowl, add 7 g of dry yeast, 3 teaspoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Now add 3 (+0.5) cups of flour one at a time. Knead the dough and remove to increase in volume. It turns out to be very coarse-pored and rubbery (when squeezed, it quickly takes on its original shape). Compared to dough kneaded with milk and eggs, products made from such a lightweight version turn out to be more fluffy and do not get stale for a long time. Like other lean pastries in a hurry, these pies do not require much time to cook. It will take about 30 minutes to rise the dough and preheat the oven, and then 15 minutes to bake itself.

Stuffing for pies

She can be anyone. These are buckwheat porridge with mushrooms, potatoes with onions, cabbage, pea porridge, carrots, fried spicy or sweet (with dried apricots) beets. Among the new products, you can try the filling of chickpeas with eggplant, beans with garlic, salted mushrooms and onions. Sweet pies also give room for imagination. The filling can be apples with carrots and nuts, dried apricots with apples and raisins, bananas with raisins, any berries. Each of these options can be a real find.

Now you have enough reasons to try Lenten dishes. Recipes (baking is excellent) have been tested by many housewives, and each has added them to the favorite section. This allows you to save time in the kitchen, pamper your family with goodies and regulate the consumption of fatty and unhealthy foods.

For those who can't imagine the comforts of home without the aroma of fresh baked goods, a strict fast can be a time when you have to limit yourself in the pleasure of tinkering with dough. After all, lean pastries are prepared without eggs, milk and butter. In Russian cuisine, lean pastries can be prepared according to many lean recipes, but sometimes you really want cookies or a cake for tea! Vegans - strict vegetarians - have managed to find quite acceptable options for substitutes for animal products.

So, for example, eggs, without which it is impossible to prepare a magnificent biscuit, can be replaced with ground flax seed: 1 tbsp. grind flax seeds into dust in a coffee grinder, add 3 tbsp. water and whisk with a whisk or fork. The mixture becomes very sticky and gelatinous, like egg white. 1 tbsp flax seed and 3 tbsp. water replaces 1 egg. This replacement is well suited for making dough for pancakes, pies and cookies. In some baked goods, eggs can replace overripe bananas: ½ banana equals 1 egg. Bananas are great in bread or pie dough. You can use soy instead of milk substitutes or make coconut milk by blending coconut meat with water in a blender and straining it. Similarly, you can prepare almond and sesame milk. Instead of butter, you can use any vegetable oil, only it needs to be taken smaller. If, for example, according to the recipe, you need 100 g of butter, which is equal to about ½ cup, then you need to take ⅓ cup of vegetable oil. A curious option for replacing butter can be prune puree. To do this, take ½ stack. pitted prunes and ¼ stack. water and puree with a blender. The ratio is the same as with vegetable oil. Prune puree is ideal for making gingerbread.

Thus, lean pastries can be prepared from any recipe, adapting it for a lean table.
