Pies are immediately memories from childhood. Is it true? Thoughts of grandma mixing dough in the kitchen while we were having fun in the garden. And, of course, an indescribable aroma and taste.
Today we won't make pies, we'll just give you some really good dough recipes for them. These are four options that are completely different. This is dough with or without yeast, with the addition of cottage cheese and kefir.
Each dough will require rest, so you can’t do it faster than twenty minutes. This is how long our last recipe is prepared, including resting.
What about the toppings? We won’t cook them, but we are always in favor of offering them. It can be various jams and confitures, it can be mousse or other cream. This could be fish, meat, cheeses and even vegetables. Onions with eggs and minced meat are often added. You can also fill the baked goods with mushrooms or cottage cheese with herbs. It could be a classic in the form of chicken with mushrooms or canned cherries. Or, for example, grated apple with sugar, raisins and cinnamon.
Having filled the baked goods with your favorite filling, you need to send the pies to bake. How to do this correctly and what is best to avoid? You will find all this a little lower, because we have again shared with you the most intimate - tips and recommendations for cooking. Good luck!
What you need to know to prepare
To properly prepare the dough, which will bake and be tasty, you need to adhere to certain points. The list of our recommendations is quite simple, so it won’t be difficult to remember:
- It is very important to let the dough rest. This process not only mixes all the flavors and aromas together, but also makes the dough more elastic;
- If the dough contains yeast, then the milk (or water) should be warm. Yes, of course, they can be cold, but in a warm area the yeast will start working faster;
- Yeast dough must (!) rise in warmth. If it is summer, then the issue is resolved automatically, and if it is winter, then it is good to place a bowl of dough near the radiator or hot burner;
- To prevent the growing dough from sticking to the dry and clean towel with which the bowl is covered, you can sprinkle the dough with flour or grease it with oil. You can also use cling film instead of a towel;
- Before adding flour, we highly recommend passing it through a sieve. This saturates it with oxygen and subsequently the baked goods rise higher and become more fluffy;
- It is always more convenient to pour liquid into flour, and not vice versa;
- When kneading the dough, you can rub your hands with vegetable oil and then the dough will not stick to your hands;
- If you add too much sugar to the dough, it will start to burn and the baked goods will darken very quickly;
- Before filling the bowl with ingredients, you need to make sure that it is clean and does not smell anything. Otherwise, the pies will have the added bonus of leftovers from other food or liquid;
- To prevent the mass from sticking to the work surface, be sure to use flour or any vegetable oil;
- Fresh yeast always works faster and rises the dough more than dry yeast. But their disadvantage is that the packaging must be used quickly, otherwise the product will begin to dry out;
- After resting, the dough must be kneaded with your hands to remove excess air from it.

In order for the baked goods to have a beautiful, ruddy color, each pie must be additionally greased before baking. This can be a yolk or a whole egg, water with sugar or salt, tea and even coffee with milk.
In order for the pies to be as voluminous and fluffy as possible, they need to be allowed to rest in their finished form. That is, covering a baking sheet with paper and placing the pies on it, give them ten to fifteen minutes. The dough will start to rise again, and when you put them in a hot oven, they will be baked in this volume.
Often the pies do not stick to the baking sheet or parchment. But if you are still afraid, then you can play it safe. To do this, you need to sprinkle the surface with flour (especially in the places where the pies are located) or grease it with oil.
If you want to try the pies with a crispy crust, you can sprinkle them with sugar after brushing them and then put them in the oven. You can even mix sugar and cinnamon. But this only applies if the filling is sweet.

The dough turns out better with eggs and also faster!
sachet (10-11g) dry yeast
1.5 cups warm milk
4 (or 2) tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons +3-4 cups flour
2 eggs
a pinch of salt
2/3 cup (two thirds cup, or approximately 140 ml) sunflower oil
(this quantity of products makes about 20 pies) I think there will be those here who contemptuously reject dry yeast, so I’ll make a reservation especially for them. Instead of dry yeast, you can take 50 g of fresh yeast. The cooking process will increase by only 30 minutes - nothing for yeast dough, right? ;)
First we prepare the dough (don’t be alarmed, everything is elementary). For the dough, mix yeast, milk, sugar, 6 tablespoons of flour. We do this: slightly heat the milk (to “steam” temperature), mix flour, sugar and dry yeast in a bowl, slowly add milk and stir, you will get a dough without lumps, like liquid sour cream. This is our dough.
If the yeast is fresh, dilute it in milk and add everything else mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Let the dough sit in a warm, draft-free place for 15 minutes (or 30 minutes for fresh yeast).
Time has passed, the dough has foamed. Now all that remains is to knead the dough. I will knead with a mixer. But, of course, you can do it with your hands.
But first, beat 2 eggs with a pinch of salt in a separate bowl - not to a stable foam, as for a sponge cake, for example, but simply to a light, homogeneous mass. Add eggs to the dough and mix. Add 3 cups of flour, start kneading, gradually adding vegetable oil (2/3 cup). You need to knead a dough that is not stiff (not like dumplings!!), but elastic and does not stick to your hands, leaving the sides of the bowl and kneaded into one lump; it will take 5-6-7 minutes of working with a mixer. If you knead by hand, trust your feelings, the dough should not stick to your hands. The dough will definitely take three glasses of flour, the fourth is additional, you can add a little from it if it seems necessary.
Is the dough ready? If it has fresh yeast, cover it and leave it on the board for 15 minutes. If you use dry ones, you can immediately make pies and place them on a baking sheet.
The following point is important here: we try not to weigh down the dough with flour anymore. That is, lightly dust the board and hands with flour, it should not stick (we kneaded it well :)) Or this method: grease the table and hands with vegetable oil, and sculpt like this, the dough is guaranteed not to stick either to your hands or to the table.
So, light the oven, let it heat up to 180-220 degrees, and let the baking sheet with pies stand for 20-30 minutes in a warm place. When the pies are ready to bake, brush the tops with a lightly beaten egg for a nice color. And - into the oven!
By the way, this quick pie dough is not only quick to prepare, it also bakes quickly, 20, 25, maximum 30 minutes.
I hope you will find this recipe for quick yeast dough for pies useful more than once;)
By the way, it is also great for buns and large pies.
The simplest dough recipe (especially good for savory pies and pies) is yeast dough “like fluff” with kefir. A minimum of ingredients, an accessible step-by-step cooking recipe - and after 1.5 hours the aroma of delicious pies made from delicate “downy” dough will float through your home.
Yeast dough “like fluff”, recipe:
- Odorless vegetable oil (refined sunflower or corn oil is suitable) - 0.5 cup
- Kefir - 1 glass
- Wheat flour - 3 cups
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Sugar - 1 tbsp. spoon
- Dry yeast - 11 g (standard small bag)
The recipe uses a regular faceted glass with a volume of 250 g.
To grease dough products:
- Egg yolk - 1 pc.
- Milk - 2 tbsp. spoons
- A pinch of salt
How to prepare yeast dough with kefir
For me, any dough preparation process begins with the activation of yeast. Pour dry yeast into a small container, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and a little water (1/3 cup). Stir so that the yeast “blooms”, but you don’t need to achieve complete homogeneity, the main thing is that the yeast is soaked. Don't mind the lumps! Leave the resulting mixture for 10-15 minutes. After this time, a foamy head will appear on the yeast, which tells us about a high-quality product, that the yeast has “worked,” which means the dough will turn out great!
This is the “push” that the yeast needs to start the process.
There are many recipes for yeast dough (sweet and soft), but I always start by activating the yeast in this way, no matter whether I bake or not.
Mix vegetable oil (0.5 cups) with kefir (1 cup) and place the saucepan on the stove. Heat the mixture until warm, approximately 40 C. Do not overheat the kefir and butter at this stage, so that you do not have to cool for a long time before combining with yeast (yeast dies at temperatures above 40 C). 
So, stir kefir and butter until smooth. Our grandmothers also made kefir dough for pies, because this is one of the most successful methods of kneading (the dough rises well, and its structure is airy and porous).
Another wonderful feature of the dough “like fluff” is that it does not go stale for a long time in finished baked goods. Pies and pies made with this dough will remain fresh and soft for a long time! Many people ask if this recipe can be used for pies in a frying pan, I recommend another recipe -.
Now add the remaining sugar to the kefir mixture. 
Salt (1 teaspoon).
Sift 3 cups of flour into a separate bowl and keep it ready. You may not need all the flour! Flour may differ in its density and other characteristics, so each housewife requires a different amount of flour.
When you cook according to recipes from the Internet, focus on the consistency of the dough (usually you can see it in a photo or video). In order not to make a mistake and not to overload the flour, add half a glass at a time and stir.
Pour the rising liquid with yeast into the milk and kefir. Stir.
Add flour in small portions, stirring constantly and checking the consistency of the dough: it should be soft and tender, but not stick to your hands.
Yeast dough “like fluff” is very pleasant to work with, as it contains a large amount of vegetable oil. When forming pies, you practically do not need to add flour!
After kneading, place the dough in the switched off oven to rise. There are no drafts in the oven, the space is closed and convenient for proofing yeast dough. I advise you to completely cover the dough with a towel so that a crust does not form on its surface.
There is an interesting way to proof yeast dough in the oven, which is preheated at 40 C for 10 minutes and then turned off. Place the yeast dough in a low-heat oven to “rise.” I successfully applied this method in practice - the dough actually rises much faster, so this method can be used as an emergency method when there is absolutely no time!
After 30-40 minutes we will see that the dough has grown significantly in size. It should be kneaded and you can begin to form pies or pies. 
I don’t roll out the dough “like fluff”, I just separate the pieces with my hands.
I place portioned pieces of dough on the baking sheet on which I will bake the pies and flatten them with my hands, stretching them slightly. Then I spread the filling and join the dough along the seam, pressing firmly.
Remember that already formed pies do not need to be immediately sent to the oven to bake! Yeast dough pies should be spaced and rise properly.
To do this, let them stand at room temperature on the counter.
To prevent the dough from drying out, it is better to cover the pies with a towel (or stretch cling film over the pies). This dough recipe will take 20-25 minutes to proof the pies.
It is recommended to bake the pies with the seam side down, and brush the top with a mixture of stirred egg and milk. In this case, the pies will turn out golden brown, tasty and fluffy. If you want a crispy crust, add a pinch of salt to the coating mixture.
I baked this recipe with potatoes, onions and eggs. Wonderful and very tasty pies are made with onion-rice-pickles filling (the filling tastes like mushrooms). Of course, this dough is also suitable for sweet pies, yeast rolls and many other tea baked goods.
Another version of yeast dough, which is perfect for both sweet and savory pies, is in the following video recipe.

Cooking with raw (live) yeast in milk
Yeast is a living, single-celled fungus that releases carbon dioxide during the ripening process. This gives our dough airiness and porosity. And they are divided into two types: dry and live; we will now look at the recipe for cooking with raw ones. Many housewives are accustomed to using crumbly ones and have completely forgotten, or maybe even didn’t know about the other type. So let's take a closer look at it today.

- vanillin - if the pie is sweet
Preparation:
- Let's brew our yeast, to do this, put it in a deep cup and mash it with a fork, add sugar and milk (warm). Leave to ripen for 15 minutes. A fluffy foam should form
- As soon as our yeast comes up, pour in vegetable oil and add salt and vanillin
- And add flour in small portions, constantly stirring our dough with a wooden spatula
