Baking from puff pastry: 9 simplest recipes

The simplest recipes for baking puff pastry with cottage cheese

Cottage cheese baking is always my priority; the pie with shortbread crumbs alone is worth it! And from puff pastry I make puff pastries, different snails, cheesecakes, buns, pies, in general, you can create anything. At least I’ll show you these simple recipes.

Snails

Crispy, aromatic and very tasty puff pastries are prepared so quickly that it’s impossible not to make them!

Filling ingredients:

cottage cheese – 350 g
granulated sugar – 100 g
egg – 1 pc.
vanillin – 30 g.

I don’t even mention the dough, you can knead your own or buy it at the store.

So, mix cottage cheese with sugar and a raw egg, add vanillin, you can add coconut flakes or raisins, dried fruits, nuts for taste - as you wish.

Just stir with a fork and the filling is ready.

The frozen dough needs to be taken out of the refrigerator and allowed to thaw, but if it is freshly kneaded, then on the contrary, let it first stay in the cold for at least an hour.

Roll it out into a rectangle 2-3 mm thick.

Place the curd filling on top and spread it over the entire layer.

Now roll it into a tight roll and pinch the edge.

Turn the workpiece over, seam side down, and cut into pieces 3-4 cm thick.

Place the snails on a baking sheet lined with parchment so that there is a good distance between them, because they will increase in volume during baking.

Brush them with beaten egg and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes (temperature 180 degrees).

As soon as they are browned, while they are hot, coat them with melted butter, and after cooling, sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

Cheesecakes

Krosh

All children get the cute bunny Krosh. It requires blue plasticine, but smeshariki made from sugar mastic also work well.

It’s easy to sculpt because it doesn’t have any very small parts:

As in previous cases, the base is a ball.
Separately, large ears, legs, and arms are made - all blue. The parts are neatly fastened into place.
Eyes are created as in other cases.
The bunny's nose is a small red ball.
You will have to pay more attention to your mouth. For it, under the nose, at some distance down, you need to make a cut in the shape of a smile and put a piece of red and two large white teeth into it. Our bunny smiles at us!

Baked goods from puff pastry made from store-bought yeast dough with jam (jam)

Look what a beautiful braid-shaped pie you can make from puff pastry with just jam!

Of course, it should be thick, or add starch so that it does not leak out during baking. But it’s better to take jam or jam.

They also put berries and even a bar of chocolate in this pie, which will also be delicious!

In this case, in addition to jam, creamy curd cheese was also used.

So, defrost the purchased dough. Roll it into a square (28x28 cm), without pressing too much, immediately on baking paper.

Combine cream cheese (140 g) with a teaspoon of vanillin and table sugar. We work with a mixer to make the mass fluffy.

Visually divide the square of dough into three parts and place the filling on the middle one, spread it evenly with a spoon, leaving the edges free.

On the other two parts of the dough we make oblique cuts to get stripes 2 cm wide. We cut off the extra triangles in the corners; we don’t need them.

Spread your favorite jam on top of the cream.

Now we braid the pigtail: first we fold the horizontal edge, then the stripes alternately from one side to the other, pressing them to the bottom.

The top must be coated with egg and bake for 20-30 minutes in an oven preheated to 200 degrees.

The finished cake can be topped with sugar icing (mix half a glass of powder and a few teaspoons of milk).

Place the berries (without seeds) in a saucepan, add 300 grams of sugar, mix and leave for 15-20 minutes so that they release juice.

Then add 1 tbsp. spoon of starch and bring to a boil over low heat. Boil for a couple more minutes and you will get a thick jelly.

Divide the dough into squares with a side of about 8 cm. Using a sharp knife, make small cuts in one corner.

Place a spoonful of filling on the opposite side, close the triangle and pinch the edges. To be safe, go around the edge with a fork.

Through the “windows” you can see what’s inside, it turns out beautifully.

Mix the yolk with a spoonful of milk and coat the puff pastries.

Sweet pastries made from puff pastry (rolls)

Do you know how to make cream puff pastries yourself? To do this, you only need baking and writing paper, as well as ready-made puff pastry. And you can come up with whatever cream you want.

First, let's prepare the paper blanks: place a sheet of writing paper on baking paper. Fold the baking paper in half so that the white sheet remains inside.

Now we roll it into a tube, turning the edges inward.

Cut the rolled out dough into thin strips and wrap them onto paper tubes, slightly overlapping each other.

Coat with egg and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove the paper from the finished baked goods.

For the cream, combine 200 grams of mascarpone with 100 g of cream, 20 g of powder and vanilla.

Add 100 grams of peeled and chopped strawberries.

Using a pastry bag, fill the puff pastry tubes with cream.

You can dip them in crushed nuts.

Such beauty and deliciousness comes from your own hands!

Losyash

On the Internet you can find smeshariki made from mastic step by step master class. It will come in handy if you want to make decorations for your baby’s birthday cake.

Modeling Losyash from plasticine will help you prepare for this procedure:

To begin with, a ball is rolled out of yellow plasticine - the body of the animal.
White round eyes are attached to it in a familiar way.
A good nose fits between them - we all remember that Losyash stands out for it. For this we use brown plasticine, not too dark.
We make horns from dark brown or black material and strengthen them on the top of the head. We outline the mouth with a crooked bracket made from a dark stripe.
All that remains is to add voluminous hooves and yellow arms and insert peppercorn pupils into the eyes - and our hero is ready.

Baking with apples from puff pastry in the form of roses

You can make apple puffs in a very original way by wrapping them in the shape of roses.

You will need approximately 300 grams of apples, as well as sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.

The apples need to be cored, divided in half and cut into very thin slices.

Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to them to prevent them from darkening. Now you need to pour boiling water over the fruits and let them soften under the lid for 15 minutes.

Then transfer the slices to a colander to drain all the liquid.

Let's prepare the topping: combine 60 grams of sugar with 2 grams of cinnamon; apples go very well with it. Remember my recipe for apple filled pancakes? It's oh-so delicious!

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm, cut into strips, their width should be slightly larger than an apple slice.

Place apple slices on the strip so that they protrude slightly above the dough. Grease them with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

We wrap the free part of the strip over the apples.

We twist the resulting workpiece into a tube. This will be our rose.

To prevent the roses from falling apart, they need to be placed in small muffin tins on parchment paper.

Grease the top again with butter and sprinkle with sugar.

These apple flowers are baked for 45-50 minutes.

Kopatych

This clumsy bear probably managed to make your little one laugh with his reasoning! So why not mold him into a ready-made group of friends?

Choose orange or light brown mastic for Kotapych, and the master class advises doing a little more for the body than for other animals. After all, Kotapych is already an adult and quite an accomplished economic bear!

Using the stack, form the facial features and attach the eyes to the toy. You can stick thin black strips of mastic above the eyes - the expressive eyebrows of a bear. On the bear's head there must be small bear ears of the same color as the body. And also a straw hat. The bear's tail is shaped like Krosh's tail.

Recipe for baking puff pastry with cheese

Unsweetened fillings can also be used in puff pastry baked goods, with cheese – it’s absolutely delicious!

To prepare the buns you will need:

sheet of dough
100 g cheese
bunch of greenery
2 cloves of garlic.

While the dough layer is defrosting, grate the cheese; its type is not important.

Finely chop the greens: parsley, dill, basil - according to your preferences and availability, you can even take dry ones. Pour a spoonful of olive oil into it, add a little salt and squeeze out the garlic.

Roll out the dough a little, stretch it, it is not necessary to make it thin.

First, grease it with the green mixture, leaving the edges empty.

Sprinkle cheese on top and roll into a large thick roll, pressing the edges.

We cut this roll into portioned buns and place them on a baking sheet. They need to be greased with yolk and baked for 10-15 minutes.

Nyusha

Pig Nyusha is a lovely pink lady who will take a lot of work to create.

To work you will need pink, red and white plasticine, a little brown. The process is:

White eyes are attached to the body - a ball, dark pink eyelids are made, and the pupils are dots.
From very thinly rolled brown material we make fashionista eyelashes - long, beautiful and curved.
For the patch, red and white plasticine are mixed. The ball is flattened, secured in place and two dents are made - nostrils.
They roll up plump legs and arms and decorate them with red hooves.
The most difficult part remains - the pig's hairstyle. It is made from two red disks, the “braids” are made from small balls folded into a pyramid, and all this splendor is completed with a bunch of “hair” - tassels.
