5 magnificent savory Lenten pies

1. Yeast pie with cabbage

Soft yeast dough accompanied by juicy cabbage filling is a mind-blowing dish! The option is lean, but at the same time so tasty that it is almost impossible to stop and limit yourself to one or two pieces.

Ingredients for the dough:

3 cups flour;
20 g of fresh yeast (if necessary, replace 10 g of dry yeast);
1 tbsp. l. Sahara;
1 tsp. salt;

1 glass of warm water.

Filling ingredients:

1/2 head of cabbage;
1 carrot;
2 onions;

salt and pepper to taste.

How to cook

1. Grind fresh yeast with sugar and leave for 10 minutes. As soon as they “wake up,” add salt, warm water, vegetable oil, and mix. Add flour and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Round, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and put in a warm place until doubled in size.

1. At the same time, prepare the filling - finely chop the cabbage, cut the peeled onion into half rings, and grate the peeled carrots on a fine grater.

1. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the onion until translucent, add carrots. After a couple of minutes, add the cabbage, stir, add salt and continue frying for another 10-20 minutes. As soon as the cabbage begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, pour in a third of a glass of water, cover with a lid and simmer the cabbage until tender. Add pepper if desired.

1. Knead the risen dough, place it on a work surface, and roll it into a rectangle. Visually divide it lengthwise into three parts, put the cabbage filling on the central one. We cut the remaining edges on the right and left into strips at an angle of approximately 45 degrees in increments of 1-1.5 cm, then cover the filling with the resulting strips, alternately folding them towards the middle. We pinch the edges. Cover the resulting “spikelet” with a towel and leave for half an hour to proof. Before baking, grease the surface of the pie with strong black tea mixed with a couple of tablespoons of sugar.

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, bake the pie for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Serve both warm and cold.

2. Lenten mushroom pie

Oh, what a fragrant pie it turns out to be! Thanks to a little trick, the usual champignon filling will “spread” throughout the house with an amazing viscous smell, and it will be simply impossible to resist eating another extra piece.

Ingredients for the dough:

1 tsp. salt;
150 ml vegetable oil;
1 glass of warm water;
500 g flour.

Filling ingredients:

1 kg of champignons;
1 cup dry porcini mushrooms;
2 large onions;
vegetable oil for frying;
salt and pepper to taste.

How to cook

1. Dough. Mix water and oil, add salt and add flour. Knead a very soft, non-sticky dough, round, wrap in cling film and set aside.

1. Filling. Boil the porcini mushrooms, drain the liquid, cut into small pieces.

1. Cut the champignons into small cubes. Onion - in half rings.

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, fry the onion until translucent, add all the mushrooms. Fry until excess liquid evaporates. Salt and add pepper.

1. Assembling the Pie. Divide the dough into two parts - one of them should be slightly larger, the second should be correspondingly smaller. We roll out most of it into a thin rectangular layer slightly larger than a baking sheet, transfer it to a metal sheet, and form small sides. Spread the filling evenly. Roll out the second part of the dough and cover the pie, sealing the edges. Using a fork, pierce the top layer of dough in several places and place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about half an hour.

3. Zucchini tart

A light and delicate tart will seem very juicy, fresh and tasty. Although... why would it seem? This is what it is – an unrealistic spring pie! Moreover, almost weightless, it itself requires the absence of solid products of animal origin in its composition.

Ingredients for the dough:

1/2 glass of beer;
100 g vegetable oil;
2 cups of flour;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1/2 tsp. soda;
1 tsp. cumin.

Filling ingredients:

4-5 tbsp. l. mashed potatoes;
3 young zucchini;
4 cloves of garlic;
salt, pepper to taste;
1 onion;
2 tbsp. l. olive oil;
4-5 sprigs of parsley.

How to cook

1. Prepare the dough - mix butter and beer, add salt, soda, cumin. Gradually add flour - the dough should be soft, but not sticky, elastic and pleasant.

1. Roll it out into a layer and place it in a round shape, forming sides. Trim off excess dough.

1. Gently spread the mashed potatoes along the bottom.

1. Cut the zucchini into slices, mix them with salt and squeezed garlic. Spread evenly over potatoes.

1. Cut the onion into rings and scatter on top of the zucchini. Spray with oil.

1. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 30 minutes. Serve warm. If desired, accompany the pie with lean nut sauce.

4. Open eggplant pie

Eggplants are a very seasonal product, but today you can find quite decent “blue” ones in supermarkets. Be sure to grab them and take them home - the pie with these comrades turns out to be non-trivial and very, very tasty!

Ingredients for the dough:

1 glass of water;
3 cups flour;
1 tsp. dry yeast;
4 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
1/2 tsp. salt.

Filling ingredients:

4 large eggplants;
2 tomatoes;
2 onions;
3 cloves of garlic;
100 g walnuts;
vegetable oil for frying;
a small piece of chili pepper;
a small bunch of greenery;
salt and pepper to taste.

How to cook

1. Mix warm water with dry yeast and leave for 5-10 minutes. As soon as a foamy “lake” appears on the surface of the liquid, add salt, butter and gradually add flour, kneading a smooth, elastic, non-sticky dough. Round, place in a clean, greased bowl, cover with a towel and put in a warm place until at least doubled in size.

1. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Wash the eggplants, peel them and cut them into cubes. Sprinkle with salt and leave for half an hour. After the “little blue ones” release their juice, we put them in a colander.

1. Meanwhile, peel and dice the onion. Fry until golden in vegetable oil. Place the eggplants in the same pan and fry everything together for another 10-15 minutes. Salt, add finely chopped chili pepper, chopped herbs, squeeze out the garlic.

1. Dry the nuts in a dry frying pan, chop them into coarse crumbs, and add to the eggplants.

1. Punch down the risen dough and place it on a greased baking sheet, forming a flat cake with small sides. We spread the filling, distributing it evenly throughout the entire flatbread. Cut the tomatoes into slices and place them on top of the eggplants.

1. Bake a Lenten eggplant pie for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Serve hot.

5. Crispy onion galette

Galette is a wonderful variety of pies. The baked goods are very discreet, elegant and crispy. Thin dough, juicy filling, great taste.

Ingredients for the dough:

100 g whole grain wheat flour;
150 g regular wheat flour;
100 g refined sunflower oil;
1 tsp. rosemary needles;
1/2 tsp. salt;
100 g boiling water.

Filling ingredients:

7 large onions;
1 tbsp. l. Sahara;
2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
1/2 glass of red semi-sweet wine;
1 tsp. rosemary needles;
salt to taste.

How to cook

1. It is more convenient to prepare the filling in advance - then in 5-10 minutes you can quickly assemble the pie and put it in the oven.

1. Peel the onion, cut into half rings and fry in vegetable oil until translucent. Add sugar, fry for another half a minute, then pour in wine, add salt and rosemary and simmer over low heat until the liquid evaporates. Leave until completely cool.

1. Dough. Mix both types of flour, add salt and rosemary, pour in the butter and stir until it becomes a moist crumb. Pour in boiling water and stir with a spoon until smooth. The dough is ready.

1. On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a thin round layer. Distribute the filling. We wrap the edges, forming folds.

1. Bake the Lenten galette in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 25 minutes.

5 wonderful sweet Lenten pies

1. Unusual Lenten pie with cranberry layer

First in the rating! An amazing cranberry pie, which, in general, is not a shame to call it a cake. Of course, if you cook it quickly, it will be even tastier, but for lean baking it is still a very, very worthy option - by and large, there is no shortage of creamy or milky notes here at all. Thanks to the sour berry layer, the pie turns out moist, soft, and unusually pleasant to the taste. Great with a cup of morning coffee!

Ingredients for the dough:

200 g vegetable margarine;
2 tbsp. l. flax seeds;
3-3.5 cups flour;
1 cup of sugar;
1/3 tsp. salt;
1 tsp. baking powder.

Ingredients for the layer:

2 cups cranberries;
1.5 cups sugar.

How to cook

1. First of all, flax - in this recipe it replaces eggs, holding the dough together. Place two tablespoons of seeds in a glass and pour in a small amount of boiling water - about a third of a glass of liquid. Leave for at least 2 hours (quite enough, although it’s more convenient to do this in the evening).

1. Meanwhile, prepare the filling - pass clean berries through a meat grinder and mix with sugar.

1. When the flax swells properly, puree it with a blender. Not until completely homogeneous, however, the mass should lighten properly and become viscous.

1. Mix flax with sugar. Add salt and baking powder, and then knead the dough, introducing flour into the mass. The finished dough should not stick to your hands and should roll out quite easily. It’s better to make do with three glasses of flour - this way the cake will be more tender. If the dough doesn't give in, don't worry and add another half cup.

1. Divide the finished dough into 5-6 parts and roll out thin cakes directly on a sheet of baking paper. We cut in a circle (rectangle), collect the scraps into a ball and roll out another cake.

1. Bake one at a time in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 5-7 minutes each. Transfer the hot cake to a plate and immediately (!) coat it with a couple of spoons of cranberry mixture. Immediately after baking, place the next cake layer on top of the previous one and also grease it with a berry layer.

1. Break the last cake into crumbs and sprinkle over the pie. Cover with a sheet of baking paper, then place a cutting board and - attention! – put pressure (for example, a pan of water). Leave the pie in this form for at least 5 hours, after which we remove the weight and cut it.

2. Lenten manna

A delicate and light pie that fits perfectly into the format of morning tea. Everyone usually likes this simple pastry based on semolina - crumbly, juicy, aromatic. The good news is that manna cooks perfectly without dairy products or eggs.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. l. flax seeds;
1 cup of sugar;
1 cup semolina;
1 glass of plant milk (oat, almond, pumpkin, soy, coconut or any other);
2/3 cup flour;
1/2 cup refined sunflower oil;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1/2 tsp. soda;
1 cup of any berries (raspberries, blueberries, cherries, currants or a mixture of them).

How to cook

1. Pour boiling water over the flax seeds so that the liquid just covers the flax. Leave for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) - after which you can start preparing the pie.

1. Mix the dry ingredients - semolina, flour, salt, soda, sugar. Pour in vegetable oil. Add milk and flax. Mix again until smooth. The mass will be quite liquid.

1. Grease the baking dish with butter and sprinkle with flour or semolina. Carefully pour the dough into it. Scatter the berries evenly over the top (frozen ones do not need to be thawed).

1. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes and bake until done. We take the manna out of the mold only after it has cooled completely. The cake is juicy and moist and very flavorful.

3. Lenten chocolate pie

Incredible recipe! It’s hard to believe, but in the complete absence of animal products, without eggs and butter, milk and sour cream, you can create a mind-blowing Lenten pie that will seem most exquisite and original. This recipe is also called Crazy Cake, and it really can drive you crazy: delicious, tender, moist and very, very chocolatey.

Ingredients for the dough:

4 full tbsp. l. cocoa;
1.5 cups flour;
2/3 cup cold water;
1 cup of sugar;
1/2 cup refined vegetable oil;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1 tsp. soda;
1 tbsp. l. 9% table vinegar.

Ingredients for fudge (optional):

1/3 cup cold water;
1 tbsp. l. starch;
3 tbsp. l. cocoa;
3 tbsp. l. Sahara;
1/4 tsp. citric acid.

The cooking process is incredibly simple.

How to cook

For the dough, thoroughly mix all dry ingredients. Add oil, water and vinegar and stir quickly.

Pour the finished dough into a greased and floured baking dish and place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for 50 minutes. Bake the lean chocolate pie until dry. Remove from the mold only after complete cooling.

To make the glaze, mix all the dry ingredients, add water, and stir again. Place on the fire and simmer until thickened. Immediately spread the finished glaze over the cake.

4. Lenten poppy seed pie

Baking with poppy seeds is a priori delicious, it’s almost impossible to spoil it, but improving it is quite possible. Below are recommendations on how to turn a Lenten poppy seed pie into a masterpiece.

Ingredients for the dough:

250 ml warm water;
1 tsp. dry yeast;
2 tbsp. l. Sahara;
2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1 tsp. lemon zest;
500 g flour.

Filling ingredients:

300 g poppy seeds;
100 g candied fruits;
100 g raisins;
100 g walnuts;
1/3 cup sugar;
2 tbsp. l. honey;
1 tbsp. l. starch;
1 tsp. spices to taste (cinnamon, cardamom, zest).

How to cook

1. Filling. Pour three to four glasses of boiling water over the poppy seeds, stir vigorously, then place in a fine sieve. When the water has drained, transfer the poppy seeds into a saucepan, add half a liter of water, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat until the liquid has completely boiled away.

1. Scroll the finished poppy seed through a meat grinder twice. Add honey, sugar, spices, starch, chopped nuts and candied raisins. Mix well.

1. Dough. Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. After activating the latter, add salt, zest, butter and gradually introduce flour. Knead an elastic, smooth dough, soft and very pleasant. Round, place in a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover with a towel and put in a warm place until doubled in size at least.

1. Knead the finished dough, divide it into two parts, and roll each into a rectangular layer. Divide the filling into two parts and apply an even layer to each rectangle, leaving 1.5 cm around the perimeter. Roll the rolls and pinch the edges. Cut the finished rolls into cubes up to 4 cm long.

1. Preparing the form. Line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper cut in the shape of a circle. Grease the sides with oil and sprinkle with flour (semolina). We “expose” pieces of rolls inside. Not tight, but also without gaps.

1. Leave to proof for half an hour and preheat the oven. Grease the suitable pie with vegetable oil or strong and sweet black tea and bake at 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. The spreader pie is wonderful when warm and not bad at all when cold.

5. Pear and honey pie

Moist and breathtakingly aromatic, viscous and thick. With this pie, you might even think that pears and honey were made for each other. I don’t want to say more – I just want to run to the kitchen and create.

Ingredients:

2 pears;
1.5 cups flour;
2/3 cup sugar;
2 tbsp. l. honey;
1/2 cup vegetable oil;
1.5 tsp. baking powder;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1/3 tsp. cinnamon;
100 g flaked almonds (chopped almonds).

How to cook

1. Peel the pears and cut into cubes.

1. Pour sugar, salt, and water into a convenient saucepan of sufficient volume. Add vegetable oil. Put on the fire, bring almost to a boil, remove. Add the honey and stir – it should completely dissolve.

1. Wait a couple of minutes, then add soda, mix and add flour. Mix again - the dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream. (If necessary, you can add a little more flour, but no more than 0.5 cups).

1. Mix with pears and transfer the dough into a greased form. Sprinkle chopped nuts or almonds on top. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 35 minutes, check for doneness with a wooden stick.

Well, have you copied the recipes for Lenten pies in a neat handwriting into your cookbook? Be sure to try, right according to the list, one after another, and let your Post be easy, enjoyable and effective.

Fasting is a centuries-old tradition in our country, and recently more and more families are returning to their roots and deciding to fast. At this time, the question arises of what to cook, how to diversify the menu, how to pamper your family with something so tasty in this time of restrictions, the time of giving up the frugal foods we are used to.

Every experienced housewife knows that no reason to eat sparingly, because there are a huge number of recipes, and everyone who wants to fast has the opportunity to prepare delicious Lenten soups, nutritious main courses, and, of course, baked goods - homemade, aromatic, appetizing. There are many recipes for Lenten pies, as well as recipes for Lenten dough for pies.

Making dough for Lenten pies and pies is not difficult, but some nuances should be taken into account. Lenten pies cook a little faster than butter pies, and these baked goods will become stale quite quickly due to the lack of eggs. Therefore, when baking, you should especially monitor the cooking time of pies, and do not leave finished products in an open container. To keep the meatless pies soft longer, you can wrap them in cotton or linen cloth and place them in a plastic bag. Due to the composition of the fabric, the products will “breathe”. It is best not to tie the bag, but leave it open. So, let’s begin the actual creation of yeast-based food.

Lean yeast dough (universal recipe)

Composition of ingredients:

Preparation:

First you need to boil the water, after boiling, cool the water to 40-50 degrees. Dry yeast dissolves in this water, then you need to add salt and granulated sugar to the yeast mixture, mix everything well. The flour is sifted through a fine colander or sieve (when sifting, the flour will be enriched with oxygen, the yeast will be provided with access to air, which will cause the dough to rise faster). The yeast mixture and vegetable oil are poured into the prepared flour. Next, the dough is thoroughly kneaded.

To make kneading the dough by hand more convenient, you can wet your hands with water or grease them with vegetable oil. The finished product should be not very tight and damp.

Lenten desserts - three recipes for the festive table

LENTEN TRUFFLE CAKE

Believe me, this is one of the most incredible Lenten cakes you have ever tried! Incredibly rich, chocolatey, moist and rich in flavor, guests will be blown away. And those who don’t fast, by the way, too.

Cakes:
250 ml of plant milk (soy, coconut, almond, sesame, oat or any other);
300 g flour;
1/2 bar of dark chocolate;
130 ml odorless vegetable oil;
130 g sugar;
3 tbsp. l. cocoa;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1 tsp. baking powder;
1 tbsp. l. lemon juice.

Fruit layer:
150 ml of any jam with a sour taste (currant, plum).

Cream:
270 ml strong tea;
300 g dark chocolate.

Korzh.

To prepare the crust, heat the milk. Place the chocolate broken into pieces into a saucepan with milk and stir until completely dissolved. Add sugar, salt, baking powder, cocoa, and add vegetable oil. Gradually add flour - the dough should be viscous, but flows quite well from a spoon. Add lemon juice and stir quickly again. Place the mixture in a greased pan, bake at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes, check for doneness with a wooden stick.
Remove the cake from the mold only after it has cooled completely. Cut lengthwise into two equal parts.

Using a blender, beat the jam into a homogeneous mass, spread it on the bottom cake layer, and distribute it evenly.

Cream. Prepare in advance two bowls of different sizes that will fit inside each other. You need to put ice in the larger one. Pour freshly brewed warm tea into the smaller one (it’s good if it’s tea with bergamot or orange zest), add chocolate and stir until it is completely dissolved. After this, place a small bowl in a large one filled with ice and begin to whip the cream. It sounds strange, but this is exactly what needs to be done - at first the mass will be liquid (it will begin to seem that everything is lost and the food has been spoiled in vain), then it will gradually begin to thicken. At this stage, periodically turn off the mixer and check the consistency of the cream - when the whisks begin to leave a distinct mark on the surface of the cream, stop, because at this moment it is easy to overbeat the cream (in this case, it will be so thick that you will not be able to grease the cake with it, you will have to cut and lay out in pieces). The final result should be soft, mousse-like and hold its shape well.
We leave the cake to soak overnight, after which you can brew coffee and surprise your guests.

Advice. Prepare a little more cream - it makes excellent decorations that can be piped from a pastry syringe.

LENTEN "NAPOLEON"

Layered cakes, custard. Everything is for real, as in, only in the Lenten version!

Dough:
1 glass of vegetable oil;
1 glass of sparkling mineral water;
4.5 cups flour;
1/2 tsp. salt.

Cream:
150 g peeled almonds;
1 liter of water;
300 g sugar;
200 g semolina;
juice and zest of 1 lemon.

Mix oil, water, salt. Gradually adding flour, knead a non-sticky elastic dough. Form a ball and put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. After the specified time, divide the dough into equal pieces (12-15 parts), roll each of them into a thin layer, cut off the excess using an inverted plate, carefully transfer it to a baking sheet, and prick it with a fork in several places. Bake at 200 degrees for 5-7 minutes each until light golden brown.

Grind the almonds into crumbs. Gradually adding water, do not stop working with the blender. Mix the resulting milk with sugar, bring to a boil, add semolina in a thin stream, cook until thickened. Add lemon juice and zest to the cooled cream and blend again with a blender.
Grease each cake with cream, leaving some of the cream on the sides and top. If desired, break one cake layer for sprinkles and decorate the cake.
Leave to soak for at least 5 hours. We serve it to guests and collect compliments.

Advice. If desired, decorate the cake with nuts.

Lenten dessert for a snack

OAT BARS

It's great to have something sweet and pleasant at hand - something that can lift your spirits, satisfy your hunger and at the same time be beneficial. How about homemade cereal bars?

1/2 cup chopped dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, prunes and others).

Place the oatmeal in a dry frying pan and dry it thoroughly - a pleasant, distinct oatmeal smell should appear in the air.

Place apples on the surface of the dough and sprinkle them with sugar. Cover with a second sheet of rolled out dough and seal the edges. Place the pie in the oven. 10 minutes before the cake is ready, take it out of the oven and quickly brush it with strong tea to which sugar has been added.
