Quick puff pastry envelopes with filling. How to bake stuffed puff pastry envelopes

Puff pastry envelopes with a surprise inside

They became a kind of lifesaver for me, because, firstly, the dough does not have to be made (you can buy it). And if you make dough, then you can immediately make a lot and freeze, and then use it as needed. And secondly, the filling can be invented on the go from what is in the refrigerator. And in this case, you can experiment. For example, you can make it in the form of envelopes.

Today we prepared envelopes with mushrooms and cheese. The family approved because they turned out very tasty. You can also try stuffing with meat or vegetables, or with meat and vegetables. Not an unimportant "plus" of the envelopes is that they are pleasant to eat both warm and cold, unless, of course, they survive to a cold look)). In addition, you can defrost a couple of sheets of puff pastry to cook the right amount, and then you won’t be tempted to eat another one, well, the very last, and the very, very last .. Believe me, there will be a temptation)).

It is easy to lure children to the table with such a dish if you put a surprise in one of the envelopes. It is important here that it does not melt during baking, but at the same time it is not hard, because a tooth can be broken. In general, you will have to break your head :-). One day I watched as a child, looking for a surprise, ate an envelope and found out that the surprise was ... on the shelf. It doesn't matter that the surprise wasn't inside. The main thing is that curiosity won, and there was no whining or attempts to bargain for sweets instead of dinner.

Ingredients

puff pastry - 1 pack (my pack has 6 sheets).
champignons - 0.5 kg (or other mushrooms)
onion - 2 pcs.
butter - 1 tbsp. l.
cheese - 100-200 g
green onion optional
egg - 1 pc. (yolk for brushing)
flour - 1-2 tbsp. l.
salt - to taste

Cooking

We start with the filling: finely chop the mushrooms and onions, fry them in butter, adding some salt to taste. Whatever filling you choose, it is better to fry it a little. The vegetables will shrink in size and release some water. This way your envelopes won't flatten after baking and the filling won't be too wet.

Defrost the sheets of dough (after pulling them out of the refrigerator first), cut into squares, adding a little flour, roll out each square separately. If you add too much flour, it will not stick together well. It is also not desirable for the dough to “wait” for a long time for the filling. It is weathered and dries quickly enough.

We spread the cooled filling on each square of dough. We connect the opposite ends of the square, and the edges need to be blinded so that an envelope is obtained.

As a filling, you can use different products and any combination of them. For example, finely chopped cheese and green onion feathers. Another option is ham, cheese and sweet peppers:

We spread the resulting envelopes on a baking sheet, the bottom of which is previously covered with baking paper. Beat the yolk a little and grease the surface of the envelopes.

We put the sheet in a preheated oven at 200 C (375 F). Bake until the envelopes are golden brown. It takes 20-25 minutes.

And what can be beautifully molded from yeast dough. And in the third part of this exciting story, we will talk about puff pastry. After all, puffs are also different, different!

What to mold from puff pastry

From ready-made puff pastry, you can come up with, cut or mold so many beautiful, diverse products, which is simply amazing. I made a selection of puff pastry recipes that I have already prepared. All these puffs are on the site in the form of detailed photo recipes, so if you especially like something and want to take a closer look and cook, use the links to the recipes!

Puff corners, triangles

The easiest way to seal a puff is to place the filling in the center of a square of dough, fold it in half diagonally, and pinch the edges. It turns out a corner. They can be made sweet and savory, with cheese, with cottage cheese, with eggs and herbs, with berries and fruits.

How to make a puff envelope

You can also do this with a square of dough: wrap all 4 corners towards the center and pinch so that they do not open. You will get a nice “envelope”, which works well with a filling of apples, cottage cheese with raisins.

How to make croissants

Croissant in shape is the same bagel. So we take a triangular strip of dough, put the filling on the wide part and fold it. Please note: the shape of croissants depends on the width and length of the strip, they turn out to be different!

How to make puff tubes

If the previous puffs can be molded with a knife and hands, then for the tubes you need special molds in the form of metal cones. Narrow strips of puff pastry are wound slightly overlapping on them. Molds need to be lubricated with sunflower oil so that the tubes can be easily removed.

How to make flounces - puff pastry nests

Now let's move on to more complex figures. Baking in the form of puff nests looks very original, in which you can put various fillings - from red caviar and fried champignons to strawberries with cream.
To make nests, we cut out a pair of circles from the dough - with a glass, for example. And then in half of them we cut out the middle with a smaller glass.

We put the baked rings on top of the circles, gluing them with cream, butter or mayonnaise, and fill the “nests” with the filling. Depending on the filling, you get an unusual snack or pastry for tea.

How to make the original form of puff pastry

And also try to make "wools" - they look very unusual. In the dough rectangles, make small cuts in a checkerboard pattern vertically - to the middle of the piece, leave the other half of the rectangle intact. Put the filling on it, then cover the top with an openwork half, slightly stretching, and pinch the edges. "Vuliki" are named for their resemblance to honeycombs, and work especially well with a bright fruit filling of cherries, apricots, pumpkins with sugar and cinnamon.
