- Replies 4
This recipe is THE recipe if I post that Ive made them on our family what's app all my kids will come home.
A Little time consuming but really worth it
Ive had a cafe wanting me to make these for them.
Makes around 80 pies
Recipe can be halved but use the same ammount of yeast
I made these last week and took photos of the steps
CHEESE PIES
Recipe is by me
photos are by me.
Prep time around 40 min
cooking time around 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Cheese mixture
500g Australian feta cheese grated
500g ricotta cheese
1 small bunch of mint finely chopped
2 eggs
Dough Mixture
1 kg plain flour
375 g unsalted butter melted
1 Egg extra for glazing
1 small block of fresh yeast around the size of a 50c coin or bit bigger (availableat most continental deli's)
2 cups of warm water.
METHOD
Cheese.
1. combine in a bowl grated feta, ricotta, eggs and mint and mix until completely combined.
Set aside.
Dough
1. In a jug add fresh yeast and 1/4 cup of the warm water , mix until yeast is mixed with water.
2. In a large bowl add flour, make a well and pour in melted butter , yeast mixture and remaining water . Mix together with your hands , then start kneading. Mixture will be sloppy but as you continue kneading it will magically form into a ball. Kneading takes about 10 minutes...it's a good workout.
Assembling
keep Dough covered with a clean tea towel, it's normal for it to rise as you a making them .
1. Take pieces of dough , size of a large walnut maybe slightly bigger . Knead slightly then roll with rolling pin to form some what of a circle ..see pictures.
2. Add a tablespoon of cheese mixture to centre of circle and fold over . Using a glass to cut and seal edges ..see picture.
3. place on oven trays lined with baking paper, spread out as they will rise in the oven, lightly brush with the extra egg and cook in preheated oven 180 C or 160 C fan-forced for around 25 minutes
4. remove from oven let cool on tray for 5 minutes then add to a large bowl that is lined with a clean tea towel and cover pies with a tea towel. This will stop them drying out and keep them soft.
Enjoy
