How to decorate pies
Flower cake decoration: Roll out the layer into a round shape, place a bun of filling in the center. Carefully distribute the rest of the filling around the circle, leaving space from the edges and the central bun. Cover the top with another layer of dough. Using a small bowl or tea cup, press the edges around the center filling. Trim the outer edges with an openwork knife. Then evenly cut the dough with the filling that goes along the outer ring. Turn each “petal” slightly so the filling is facing up.
Cutting a loaf of bread. Roll the flagella into sausages and weave them into a loaf, as shown in the step-by-step instructions in the photo.
Here are the options for decorating the edge of the pie.
Cutting the dough “Pigtail” or “Spikelet”
The simplest version of “Pigtails”. A rectangle is cut out of the rolled out dough layer and a longitudinal cut is made in the center. Then, one edge is threaded through the resulting hole several times. This way the edges curl into a spiral. The filling is placed in the center.
"Pigtail with sausage". Three sausages are connected at the top edges. Then a slice of sausage is placed between them. Intertwined like a braid. The right harness is placed between the left and the center, then the left is placed between the right (which is now on the left) and the center (which is on the right). Again, a slice of sausage is placed and the braiding continues.
Sausage in “Pigtail” dough. This delicacy is sometimes called “Obzhorka” in culinary shops. The sausage is placed in the center of the dough cake. Then the edges are stuck to each other, and the sausage wrapped in dough is cut into equal parts. Each polka is turned sausage side up and placed one after another on different sides from the middle. Place in the oven when half cooked. Sprinkle cheese, herbs on top, grease with mayonnaise or ketchup (optional). And finish baking until ready.
Beautiful bun “Spikelet”. This type of baking is simple to make and looks very beautiful. Roll out a thin layer, grease with vegetable oil or egg, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (poppy seeds). We roll the roll, which we then cut with scissors slightly obliquely, as shown in the photo. We put the resulting “spikelets” into one large beautiful bun.
And this is a simple pigtail with poppy seeds. The sausage is covered with poppy seeds and cut with scissors, placing the petals on different sides.

What dough should I use to make these braids? You can take a ready-made puff pastry, or you can use any yeast – store-bought or homemade, with dry or live yeast, butter or lean. I kneaded the dough with dry yeast without animal fats. I used tomato juice and water as a basis.
Also, my yeast dough braids with sesame cake! The other day I told you how to cook and which ones you can bake with it. After preparing this plant-based milk, what remains is sesame cake, which is great for any baking. But the buns will turn out delicious even without it!
I didn't add sugar to the dough. Therefore, my option is neutral. It can also be eaten with sweet tea and coffee. Serve with jam or any preserves. Or you can use it instead of regular bread for soup or salad. But if you definitely want sweet baked goods, add sugar to your taste and bake this way 😉
So, let's study in more detail, with photographs and descriptions, how to make a braid from dough!
Ingredients:
- tomato juice - 250 ml
- filtered water - 100 ml
- salt - 1 tsp.
- sunflower oil - 8 tbsp.
- premium wheat flour - 5 cups (625 g)*
- sesame cake or sesame seeds (optional) - 150 g
- dry yeast - 2-2.5 tsp.
* 1 cup = 200 ml liquid = 125 g flour
Bun braids, how to weave:
Combined tomato juice, water, salt and 5 tbsp. refined sunflower oil. Mixed well.
The overall temperature of this liquid should be pleasantly warm - 35-40"C. 
I added sesame cake. As I said above, you can use sesame seeds instead - straight from the bag or heat them a little in a dry frying pan or on a baking sheet in the oven. Or you can do without it altogether - as you like. 
I also sifted flour mixed with dry yeast here. Since I didn’t initially know how much flour it would take, I added and mixed gradually, at the rate of 0.5 tsp per 1 glass (125 grams). yeast.
I ended up using about 625 grams of flour. You may end up with more or less because wheat gluten varies. 
While kneading, I poured in another 3 tbsp. vegetable oil. Kneaded the dough into a ball. Covered with a lid and placed in a warm place for an hour. 
She kneaded the dough with her fist and returned it to a warm place. The second time it rose faster - in half an hour. 
Now that the dough has risen twice, you can watch how to braid the buns.
I divided the dough into 4 equal parts to bake 4 braids. Each part in turn was cut into 3 identical parts. I rolled each one between my palms into a sausage. The length and thickness can be adjusted according to your wishes and the size of the baking sheet)) 
First, I connected the three sausages with a strong pinch at the top. 
From this common point I began to weave a braid. First, I overlapped the right tourniquet over the middle one, then the left one over the same original right one, making the middle tourniquet now the far right one. And so she wove it to the very end, where she also made a strong tuck. 
Placed the braided buns made from yeast dough on a baking sheet. I sent it to bake for 25-30 minutes at a temperature of 180-200"C. If you decide to bake smaller braids, then 20 minutes may be enough - be guided not only by the size of the products, but also by the features of your oven. 
I placed the braids on a cooling rack and covered the top with foil and a towel. I let them cool down like that. 
Now you know how to braid buns. I hope that you also liked the option for preparing the dough! ;) 
We ate these braids with soup, and as in the photo - with my favorite yellow plum jam!! Tasty!
