Pies with sauerkraut are always a great idea

Anyone who tries them at least once will no longer be able to refuse them. Soft, appetizing, aromatic - they will come to the table any day. It’s not for nothing that sellers use the expression: “They’re selling like hot cakes.”

All pie recipes begin with preparing the dough. If it turns out viscous, sticky, dry or bland, not even the most delicious filling will save the situation.

And vice versa. Just imagine: the fluffy, rosy, airy dough just begs to be hidden in the best ingredients. Shall we get started?

Pie dough is usually prepared with yeast. But there are a lot of recipes for yeast-free dough - in a hurry, so to speak. Below you will find both options.

Let's watch a video on how to make pies with sauerkraut:

Yeast dough

For this test, first prepare the dough.

We will need:

  • 450 ml. warm water (some recipes call for milk);
  • 10g. dry yeast;
  • 150-200 gr. flour;
  • 1.5 tbsp. l. Sahara.

We preheat the water (milk) to a temperature of 35-37 degrees. Add yeast, sugar and flour. Knead a thin dough, like for pancakes. Cover the dish with a clean towel and put it in a warm place “to rise.”

This process takes 40-60 minutes, during which the housewife has time to prepare the filling. And returns to the dough.

Add to it:

  • a teaspoon of salt;
  • 1 egg;

100 grams of butter, melted and cooled to room temperature.
Add flour and knead the dough until it stops sticking to your hands.

In total you will need about 1 kg. flour. Transfer the dough back into the bowl and “forget” for another hour. Knead again and start making filled pies.

Quick dough with kefir

This base option is perfect for delicious fried pies with a crispy crust. The dough is prepared in just 30-40 minutes. Even novice housewives can master the recipe.

So, we will need:

  • 300 ml. kefir (it is better to take it with a fat content of 3.2-3.6%);
  • 1 tsp Sahara;
  • 1 tsp salt;
  • 1 tsp soda;
  • 3 tbsp. sunflower oil;
  • 400-500 gr. flour.

Mix kefir, soda, sugar, salt and 1 spoon of oil. Gradually add flour and knead first with a spoon, then with your hands. At the end, add the remaining oil and knead again. The dough will be soft and elastic. We leave it to “rest” under the film for half an hour.

It's time to start preparing the filling. And there are no restrictions on composition! There are many options. Let's look at the most common and proven sauerkraut-based cabbage.

Pies with sauerkraut, preparing a simple filling

The simplest filling: it contains only cabbage and onions. Squeeze the cabbage from the brine, cut the onion into half rings and lightly fry in butter or vegetable oil. Then add the cabbage and evaporate the remaining liquid.

If the cabbage is too sour, you can dilute it with fresh cabbage. Cool the mixture to room temperature. Prepare delicious fried cabbage pies using yeast dough prepared according to the recipe suggested above.

Pies with sauerkraut and boiled eggs

We repeat all the steps indicated above. Boil chicken eggs at the rate of 1 piece per 200 g. cabbage Finely chop the eggs and add to the cooled vegetable mixture.

You can add a pinch of sugar to enhance the taste.

Pies with sauerkraut and mushrooms

Let's take the first filling recipe as a basis. You can add dry mushrooms. They must first be soaked, boiled and chopped.

Then add to the cabbage and fry all the filling thoroughly.

We recommend taking mushrooms in a ratio of 1:3. Simply boil raw or frozen mushrooms and add to the cabbage. Alternatively, you can also chop boiled eggs here.

Pies with sauerkraut and meat

We will need:

  • 150 gr. sauerkraut;
  • 70gr. pork;
  • 1 onion;
  • 1 egg;
  • 50gr. sunflower oil;
  • salt;
  • ground black pepper.

Finely chop the onion and brown it in sunflower oil. Grind the pork in a meat grinder and fry with onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Wash the sauerkraut and chop finely. Mix with meat and onions, add chopped egg.

Pies with sauerkraut and potatoes

As in the first recipe, fry the onion and cabbage in sunflower oil.First boil the potatoes and mash them into a puree. We take cabbage and potatoes in a 1:1 ratio.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a frying pan, add salt and sugar to taste and one raw egg (if there is a lot of filling, two are possible).

Stir until the mixture thickens. It should not be crumbly, so it is easier to pinch into the dough and not fall out.

Pies with sauerkraut, mushrooms, egg and rice

Grate one medium-sized carrot on a coarse grater, fry in a hot frying pan with a large onion cut into half rings. Squeeze the cabbage from the brine and cut it smaller if necessary.

pies with mushrooms and cabbage

Fry with the rest of the vegetables and add boiled chopped mushrooms, chopped egg and boiled rice.

We take the amount of filling products in arbitrary proportions. You can add greens or turmeric.

We recommend brushing pies that you plan to bake in the oven with yolk. They will become shiny and rosy. Serve the finished pies warm or cold. Bon appetit!

Comments

I haven’t made these pies with sauerkraut at home for a long time, thank you very much for reminding me and the recipes here are simple, I need to try them too, I think it will be very tasty.

And I like the option of filling with sauerkraut and finely chopped good quality sausages. You can take Vienna-type sausages, but the taste will not be the same. I use only yeast dough.By the way - it goes great in the fridge! A friend from the Volga region taught me, and now for about five years I’ve been putting the dough in the refrigerator after kneading for an hour and a half.

We usually add whey to the dough instead of kefir, and make the filling separately from sauerkraut, potatoes, mushrooms, or boiled eggs with rice. The pies turn out very tasty.
