Moldavian placinds with pumpkin in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Dough. To prepare the dough, we will need: flour; water; vegetable oil; table vinegar (9%) and salt.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a bowl, combine water, salt, vinegar and oil. Stir with a whisk. Vinegar gives the dough elasticity, which allows you to roll it out so thin that you can see the table through it. And at the same time, during the formation of placinds, it does not break. At the same time, the vinegar itself is not felt in the finished baking.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift flour and knead smooth homogeneous dough. If necessary, add more flour. At first, the dough will stick to your hands, but as you knead, the stickiness will go away.

4. Step 4:

   

   Roll the dough into a ball, cover with a kitchen towel and leave for 15 minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Filling. For the filling, we will need pumpkin and sugar. Pumpkin is better to take a fragrant, sweet type of Hokkaido.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel and seed the pumpkin. Grate the pumpkin on a large or medium grater.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the grated pumpkin in a bowl, add sugar. Mix everything thoroughly.

8. Step 8:

   

   Leave for 10 minutes to let the pumpkin juice. Drain the released juice, you can squeeze the pumpkin slightly.

10. Step 9:

    

    Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.

11. Step 10:

    

    Roll out each piece into a thin square layer. The dough is very plastic, the main thing is that the surface and the rolling pin are well dusted with flour.

12. Step 11:

    

    In the middle of each layer, put the fourth part of the filling.

13. Step 12:

    

    Roll up the edges of the dough to make an even square. You can slightly pull the tips of the dough to the sides. Fold the edges in the center and press. So the filling will not leak out when baking. I just folded it in an envelope and nothing leaked out. The main thing is that the edges of the dough should be stacked on top of each other so that there are no open places with stuffing.

14. Step 13:

    

    Transfer the resulting blank to a parchment-lined baking sheet seam down. Bake the placinds for about 30 minutes at 190 ° C.
