Sweet yeast cake with jam

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a rich yeast cake with jam? Measure out the necessary ingredients. Take wheat flour of the highest grade or extra, it is most suitable for rich yeast baking. Heat the milk slightly.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour into a wide, spacious bowl to saturate it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the dough will rise well and easily, and the baking will turn out lush and airy.

3. Step 3:

   

   Melt the butter over low heat.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a small bowl, combine yeast, 1 tsp sugar (of the total amount) and about a third of lukewarm milk. Mix well and leave for 10 minutes until a foam cap forms.

5. Step 5:

   

   To knead the dough, take a bowl suitable in size and height, taking into account that the dough will rise. Pour the remaining milk from the bowl, add salt and sugar, mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the activated yeast, mix lightly.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add 2 types of butter (butter and vegetable), mix.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour about 3/4 of the sifted flour into the resulting mass. You can do this through a sieve, thereby sifting the flour twice. Stir first with a spoon.

9. Step 9:

   

   Add the rest of the flour in small portions, while stirring the dough with your hands. Do not pour out all the flour at once. Since flour has different properties, it may need more or less. Excess flour will make the dough steep and heavy to lift, so carefully monitor the consistency of the dough.

10. Step 10:

    

    The dough should be soft, homogeneous. It practically does not stick to your hands. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film or a towel and leave to rise in a warm place.

12. Step 11:

    

    The dough has risen well, increasing in volume by about 2.5 times. I had it happen in 1h 15 minutes. The rise time of the dough will depend on the air temperature and yeast activity.

13. Step 12:

    

    Knead the dough carefully, put it on a floured table. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll out one part into a round layer. Cover the bottom of the baking dish (I have d 22 cm) with parchment. Lubricate the walls of the mold with vegetable oil. Spread the rolled dough on the bottom of the mold, forming small sides.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put the jam on the dough in a uniform layer. It is desirable that the jam is thick, then the filling will not leak out during baking. I used homemade jam, you can also take any berry or fruit jam or jam.

15. Step 14:

    

    Roll out the rest of the dough into a layer and cut into strips.

16. Step 15:

    

    Lay out the dough strips in the form of a mesh on top of the filling.

17. Step 16:

    

    You can put a twisted flagellum of dough on the sides of the pie. Decorate the cake as you wish.

18. Step 17:

    

    For the top of the pie, combine the yolk with sour cream, mix until smooth.

19. Step 18:

    

    Using a cooking brush, brush the top of the cake with yolk mixture.

20. Step 19:

    

    Bake the jam pie in a preheated 180C oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown. The baking time will depend on the specifics of the oven.

21. Step 20:

    

    Cool the finished cake completely, cut into portions and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
