Yeast dough pie with dried fruits
Description
Baking is simple and quick. The pie with dried fruits is easy to make for those familiar with this dough. In principle, it comes down to experience, and there is nothing difficult about it. For beginner cooks, the recipe provides a detailed description of each step with photos. Choose any dried fruits to your taste. Large ones, such as prunes, figs, and dried apricots, should be chopped. Both fresh and dry yeast will work; you will need 7–8 grams. Adjust the pie’s baking time and temperature individually according to your oven. For some, 180 degrees is not enough, while for others everything will burn at this temperature. The pie is very tasty, fluffy, and fragrant. And the dried fruits do not release juice, so it does not leak out of the pie. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
