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

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

Putting ideas in the piggy bank!

Buns made from strips and layers of dough without filling

From "sausages" yeast dough You can make beautiful buns. To prevent the strips from sticking together, the sausage must first be greased with 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, or a leaf bun.

For children, we definitely make baked goods in the shape of animals.

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

Baking based on rolls

Original spikelets, buns and bread can be made on the basis of rolls. Apply here various schemes cutting the dough with scissors.

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

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

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

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

Decorating the edge of the pie

Open pies and pizza can be decorated in a special way by decorating the edge in advance and filling it with filling.

Original filled pies

Adults and children love pies. You can surprise and delight your loved ones by making them in the shape 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 shape of a funny turtle. The relief on the shell can be made using imprints of cups or dumplings.

Stuffed flower pie can be made with any fairly thick filling or with a combination of two fillings. Place the filling on the bottom layer and form a center and a ring. Then cover with a second layer of dough and fix the center with a plate. We fasten the ring around the edge and make cuts, unfolding the dough like flower petals.

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

Stuffed pie in the shape of a fish is made from puff pastry or yeast dough.

Country pie with minced meat and eggs is also quite beautiful and colorful. This dish will surely delight your guests!

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

The stuffed pie can be perforated. For such a pie, a thick filling made from pieces of meat, cabbage, and apples is suitable.

Two-color 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 of the dough with cocoa powder. And then everything depends on your imagination. You can put snow-white balls of dough into a baking dish and fill them with the dark part of the dough, you can bake multi-colored cakes and make a cake out of them, or you can connect two layers of light and dark dough, make two rolls and use them to make colored butterflies.

Decorative bread

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

Open pies and pies

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

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

We now make charlotte with apples in a new format. We spread a curd filling with the consistency of thick sour cream onto the shortbread dough, and decorate the top with apple roses.

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 a border of dough and sausages. To do this, place a sausage between two layers, secure it, make cuts and unfold it.

You can make rose pies with pieces of boiled sausage.

Open pie with pear and cottage cheese is very healthy. We fill the shortcrust pastry base with pears, cut into rings, without separating them. We lay them out in the shape of a flower and fill them with liquid curd filling. Bake.

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

Pie "Santa Claus"

For New Year's holiday It's worth baking a cake with one of its symbols. We suggest making a pie with the image of Grandfather Frost.

Hello, dears!

I miss you) How dizzying and at the same time relaxing summer was! Walks, nature, warmth, barbecue, fresh air, splash warm water. So much so that he doesn’t emerge from it at all)) And I don’t regret it at all!

But there were also rainy, cool days when we were at home and again we wanted hot tea, and with it something baked, warm, aromatic.

One of these days I wanted to bake puff pastries. So that they are beautiful puff pastries, intricate, with different sweet fillings. And away we go))

There is nothing complicated in the process of making puff pastries; all the work is described on the package with the dough.

Ingredients for making beautiful puff pastries:

- ready puff pastry in packages (in the form of rectangular or square layers);

- 1 egg for brushing the puff pastry.

Options for sweet fillings for puff pastries:

- cinnamon with sugar;

- steamed seedless raisins;

- banana pieces;

- steamed and chopped prunes and dried apricots (separately or in a mixture);

- fresh berries (with sugar if desired): strawberries, raspberries, cherries, cherries;

- fresh apple pieces, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar;

- canned fruit pieces: peaches, apricots, pineapples;

- jam, marmalade, jam;

- boiled condensed milk;

- pieces of chocolate.

Preparation of puff pastries:

U different manufacturers I've come across two types of puff pastry: squares and rectangles. Based on the shape of the layers, we will choose the type for future layers.

Which dough to choose: yeast or yeast-free?

From yeast dough, puff pastries are softer, and from yeast-free dough, they are crispier. Choose according to your taste. I love yeast dough and soft puff pastries.

How to work with ready-made frozen puff pastry?

Separate the frozen layers of dough from each other and place them on a flat surface for 20-30 minutes until they become soft. If necessary, roll out (roll only in one direction so as not to damage the layers of dough!). Shape the dough into any shape, using filling if desired. Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet on baking paper at a distance from each other, cover with a towel and leave at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to proof. For shine ready-made puff pastries brush the dough with beaten egg. Bake in an oven preheated to 220 degrees for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then reduce the temperature to 175 degrees and bake for another 10-15 minutes until done.

Use your cutting edge to cut the dough. sharp knife! I use ceramic. If your knife has been sharpened for a long time, the dough may stick to it.

Rectangular layers of dough

"Bagels"

Cut the dough layers diagonally. Place banana slices on the bases of the resulting triangles and roll them into a bagel. Here for filling Chocolate chunks also work well.

"Curls"

Sprinkle the dough thickly with cinnamon and sugar, leaving one of the narrow edges of the dough free. Roll in the direction of the free edge.

Cut the roll in half. Cut each part in the middle, not reaching a little to the end. Turn the resulting halves out.

"Pies with cuts"

Cut the dough sheet in half along the long side. Make parallel cuts on one half of the resulting rectangles. Place chopped berries on the other half (I used cherries).

Cover the filling with the second half of the dough, slightly stretching the cuts. Press the edges of the puff pastry tightly with your fingers to prevent it from coming apart during baking. Here, bright berries are well suited for the filling: cherries, strawberries, which will be visible through the cuts.

"Curly pies"

Cut the dough sheet in half along the long side. Place jam on one half of the resulting rectangles, cover with the other half of the dough, and press the edges tightly with your fingers.

Then press the edges with a fork to create grooves. Press the dough tightly along the edges so that the filling does not leak out!

Square layers of dough

To make puff pastries, cut each square layer of dough into 4 small squares.

"Daisies"

We make cuts in the corners, leaving a distance of approximately 1 cm between them on the sides of the square. Place halves of canned apricots in the center.

Pull the corners of the dough towards the center and press tightly.

"Envelopes"

Place steamed raisins on the center of the square (first pour boiling water over the raisins for 10 minutes until they become soft, then drain the water). Pull the corners of the dough towards the center and press tightly. Almost any non-liquid filling is suitable here: chopped bananas, berries, fruits, dried apricots, prunes.

"Baskets"

My favorite puff shape! There are long cuts on opposite corners of the cases. Transfer the dough from the corners to opposite sides and press lightly.

We put the filling into the resulting “basket” (I used fresh chopped strawberries with sugar). Any filling will do; the color contrasting with the dough looks best.

Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet on baking paper, brush the dough with beaten egg for shine.

Phew, that was all for today! I don’t know who was more pleased - me when I was cooking, or everyone I treated))

Of course, this is not all that can be wrapped in puff pastry. I really want to add more to the article. There are still simple puff “tongues” and “spirals” with sugar, triangular pies, another puff “flowers”...

Help yourself! All the best to you, summer, warm! I sincerely wish you to enjoy the last month of summer!

With love, Elena Nazarenko
