Simple puffs-masterpieces:

Puff pastry flowers

Build puffs following the instructions in the picture. All you need for this is sleight of hand and a sharp knife. Do not forget about the filling: put dried apricots or prunes in the center. Before serving, decorate each puff 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 the grated red apple filling in the center of each slice. Make two cuts on the sides and wrap the filling, as shown in the picture. Bake cookies in the oven.

Cheesecakes

To make such a beauty is not difficult at all. Cut the rolled out puff pastry into squares. Bend each square diagonally, making an envelope, as in the figure 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). Open your square and use a brush to brush it with egg white. Now, carefully taking the notched edges, lay them as shown in the figure below. It remains only to lay out the filling and forward, into the oven.

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

Cut the rolled out layer of puff pastry into rectangles. We spread the filling on each. Here you can let your imagination run wild and use what you like: chocolate, marmalade, a mixture of flour, butter and sugar (horiz), fresh fruit, nuts, meat, mushroom stuffing, 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 just as beautiful. And how appetizing it is! These exquisite puffs really look like curls, and making them is not at all difficult.

We roll out a layer of puff pastry, forming one large rectangle, sprinkle it with stuffing.

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 put it on a baking sheet.

Puff pastry butterfly
Take a closer look, you see what butterflies are bright, odorous 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 course of work is almost the same as in the manufacture of cheesecakes. We also fold the squares into triangles, cut, open and grease with egg white.

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

Puff pastry bow

A bow - on a hot summer day, such a yummy will come in handy. Cream cakes are not desirable during this period, and puff pastry bows look very impressive on the table, as they look festive. Children enjoy this treat.

We fold a standard square of rolled puff pastry into a triangle. Now we make two cuts. As you can see in the photo above. You need to complete them by leading the knife from the sharp edge to the base, 1 cm short of the edge. With the resulting strip (whose width is 1 cm), we wrap the base several times. Our bow can be baked. When it is ready, sprinkle it with powdered sugar or spread with apricot marmalade. Crispy yummy…

Puff pastry kare

The preparation of this treat will immediately add variety, because you can cook puff pastry with several fillings at the same time. And it is done like this:

Roll out a layer of puff pastry, cut it into squares. Fold each triangle, and then, on one side, make an incision, not reaching one centimeter to the edge. Now, carefully taking the edge from the side of the notch, 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. Just the squares in this case should be smaller. Fill the space with salad, meat or mushroom stuffing - the taste of such a dish is very refined.

Puff pastry
The dough pigtail that we offer you to make is very simple to perform.

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

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

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

To prepare them, roll out puff pastry in the shape of a rectangle or circle, as it suits you. Then cut it into long triangles. Each triangle, starting from the base, is wrapped 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 be with a wide variety of fillings.

Puff pastry medallion
You probably already understood that many product names directly describe how this or that puff looks like. Take, for example, medallions. It is immediately clear that we have a sweet decoration in front of us, however, its purpose is somewhat different than that of jewelry pendants. And yes, 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, it is necessary to make cuts in such a way that they do not reach the upper corner of the triangle by a centimeter and a half.

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

Half a puff pastry croissant
Croissant halves look very attractive on their own. Small, neat, they just ask to be tried as soon as possible. And you need to make them in almost the same way as whole croissants.

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

Puff pastry strip

Puff tongues from Soviet school canteens are remembered by absolutely all representatives of the older generation. Our strips are somewhat similar to them, but they look much more appetizing, and besides, they are also stuffed.

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, putting the free edge on the half with the filling. Gently straighten and cut into strips, the width of which we determine to your taste. Sprinkle the finished strips with powder and decorate.

Mesh puff pastry
The classic design of the pie - mesh, will be used by us in the preparation of the puff.

To do this, we need a special tool, a roller stamp. Having cut out the same 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. Having processed the smooth part with egg white, spread the filling on it and cover it with a mesh on top. We bake. To make the surface shiny, you can, if desired, grease the product with egg yolk before baking. The decoration of these puffs can be very different.

Puff pastry snack
Translated from English, snack means a light snack. So we suggest you cook delicious puffs 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. In the event that there is no roller fixture in the house, work with 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 is to be processed. Then, right on our strips, lay out the filling, sprinkle it with sesame seeds or nuts and overlap with smooth edges.

Puff pastry snail

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

Bread with chocolate puff pastry
The favorite breakfast of schoolchildren, preschoolers, as well as dads, mothers, grandparents - puff bread with chocolate can be classified as the most popular puff pastry. There are no special tricks in its manufacture, and the product turns out to be very tasty and satisfying.

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

Puff pastry flower

And finally, a real masterpiece of confectionery art - a puff flower. The secret of making such beauty will be asked from you by everyone who sees and tries it. So elegant, yet so easy to make.

Cut the rolled out dough into squares. (To make them the same, you can take care of a cardboard template). Then we fold each in half and cut it, moving away from both corners of the base by 1-1.5 cm. We open the square. Do not rush to remove the cut off strip. Just take one opposite edge first and connect them, and then the others and connect them all in the center.

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

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

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

We put ideas in a piggy bank!

Buns from strips and layers of dough without filling

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

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

For children, we definitely make pastries in the form of animals.

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

Roll based baking

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

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

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

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

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

Decorating the edge of the pie

Open pies and pizzas can be decorated in a special way by shaping the edge in advance and filling with toppings.

Original pies with filling

Pies are loved by adults and children. You can surprise and please your loved ones by making them in the form 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 form of a funny turtle. The relief on the shell can be made using prints of cups or dumplings.

Stuffed flower pie can be made with any sufficiently thick filling or with a combination of two fillings. We spread the filling on the lower layer - we form the center and the ring. Then cover with a second layer of dough and fix the center with a plate. We fasten the ring along the edge and make cuts, unfold the dough like flower petals.

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

A stuffed pie in the form of a fish is made from puff pastry or yeast dough.

A country pie with minced meat and eggs is also quite beautiful and colorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests!

From small round pies with filling we form a bunch of grapes, decorate with carved leaves and a vine. Here is the finished culinary masterpiece!

Stuffed pie can be perforated. For such a pie, a thick filling of pieces of meat, cabbage, apples is suitable.

bicolor 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 the dough with cocoa powder. And then it all depends on your imagination. You can put snow-white dough balls in a baking dish and pour the dark part of the dough, you can bake multi-colored cakes and make a cake out of them, or you can combine two layers of light and dark dough, make two rolls and colored butterflies from them.

decorative bread

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

Open pies and pies

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

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

Charlotte with apples is now made in a new format. We spread the curd filling of the consistency of thick sour cream on the shortbread dough, decorate with roses from apples on top.

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 an edge of dough and sausages. To do this, we put a sausage between the two layers, fix it, make cuts and unfold it.

With pieces of boiled sausage, you can make rose pies.

An open pie with pear and cottage cheese is very useful. We fill the base of shortcrust pastry with pears, cut into rings, without separating them. We spread them in the shape of a flower and fill them with a liquid curd filling. We bake.

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

Pie "Santa Claus"

For the New Year holiday, it is worth baking a cake with one of its symbols. We propose to make a cake with the image of Santa Claus.

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

Puff pastry puffs are a delicious snack for tea. Puffs with sweet and savory fillings can be not only a hearty snack on the road, at work or school, but also an excellent tasty breakfast or dinner for the whole family. Puff pastry can be made in advance using the first recipe and frozen in small portions in the freezer. You can also use a ready-made store product.

Puff pastry puffs with apples are one of the most popular fillings.

• 200 gr margarine;
• 2 eggs for dough and 1 for greasing puffs;

First, melt the margarine in a steam bath. You can also chop with a blender along with flour.

Beat the eggs in a blender until light egg mass. Gradually sift flour to them, spread sour cream. Mix thoroughly. Lastly add margarine.

Knead the dough. Cut into equal 20 pieces. We put it on a plate and send it to the refrigerator for an hour, or to the freezer for a quarter of an hour.

We cut the apples into small cubes - first with plates 5 mm thick, then cut into cubes and cubes. The apple pulp of some varieties darkens quickly when exposed to air. To prevent this, dip the sliced ​​​​pieces of apples into a container with lemon juice diluted with water. After that, just throw it in a colander.

Roll out the chilled pieces of dough thinly, put 1.5 tablespoons of apple slices and a teaspoon of sugar.

We spread the puffs on a baking sheet covered with butter, grease them with an egg and sprinkle with sugar. You can cook at 200 degrees. within 20 minutes.

On a note. Apples are better to take juicy, sweet and sour varieties.

With cheese

Melted cheese in baking is liked by both adults and children. Cheese puffs are very tender and satisfying. It is recommended to serve hot, melted stretching cheese is much tastier than cooled.

Put 1-2 tablespoons of the filling in each square, pinch the edges, forming envelopes. Beat the egg with milk and brush the puffs with it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. A quarter of an hour is enough for baking - as soon as the dough becomes appetizing golden, the buns can be considered ready.

With cottage cheese

Cottage cheese puffs are tasty and healthy. If desired, the filling with cottage cheese can become both sweet (as in the recipe below) and unsweetened if, for example, greens and a little salt are added to it instead of sugar.

• puff pastry packaging - 500 gr;
• granular cottage cheese - 300 gr;

We propose to turn one layer into a puff with dark chocolate, and the second - with milk, filled with raisins and nuts. You can replace the options with your favorites if you wish.

So, you need to start by rolling out the dough. In this case, the layer does not need to be cut, in the future it will be possible to cut the finished puff into pieces. The sheet should retain the corners and be twice the size of the chocolate bar. We put a tile in the center and with a knife we ​​make parallel oblique cuts along the remaining protruding edges of the dough. Next, we cover the chocolate with shorter pieces of dough, and we twist the oblique ribbons in turn, completely closing it.

Repeat the same with the remaining dough and the second chocolate bar.

Beat the egg well and brush the pastry with it. We follow the edges of the baking, they must be well pinched, otherwise the chocolate may leak out. We bake at 200 degrees. within 20-25 minutes.

How to make "Piglets" from rich yeast dough. Roll out a circle, make a small incision on top, bend the corners - the ears. We sculpt a piglet for a pig in the lower part, bending the edge and flattening it a little. The piglets' eyes are made of raisins.

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

Cutting the dough "Pigtail" or "Spikelet"

The simplest version of "Pigtails". A rectangle is cut out of the rolled out layer of dough, a longitudinal incision is made in the center. Then, one edge is threaded several times through the resulting hole. Thus, the edges are twisted into a spiral. The filling is laid out in the center.

"Pigtail with sausage". Three sausages are connected by the upper edges. Then a slice of sausage is laid out between them. Weaves like a braid. The right harness is placed between the left and 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 weaving of the pigtail continues.

Sausage in the dough "Pigtail". This delicacy is sometimes called "Obzhorka" in culinary shops. The sausage is laid out in the center of the dough cake.
