Ham pies - useful tips and tricks
To make the ham filling for pies and pies juicy, you can add a little mayonnaise, sour cream or butter. Tomatoes, onions and other vegetables dilute the taste of ham and cheese well.
Onions take quite a long time to bake. Therefore, before adding it to the minced meat for pies, the vegetable must be cut and lightly fried in a frying pan.
If the dough has dried out, the edges do not stick well and the pies do not want to take the desired shape, grease the surface with egg or milk, let it sit for a while and put it together. Do the same with puff pastry, which itself is dry.
Baked pies will turn out prettier and more flavorful if you decorate the products with sesame seeds. The seeds are applied to a greased surface before baking; sesame seeds can be used white or dark.

The most suitable ham for such pies is one with a small diameter, so that the round slice is smaller than the size of the top of the glass. In this case, the molding turns out just right! But if the ham is large, then cut it into strips and place it on the dough piece, taking into account the future size of the ham and cheese pies.
The cheese is suitable for almost any semi-hard variety, and for spices - fresh chopped or dry herbs - to your taste (Provencal herbs, Italian herbs, or even just dill, etc.). I planned to sprinkle the top of the pies with sesame seeds, but I got wrapped up and forgot...
Pies with ham and cheese filling can be made from any yeast dough or puff pastry.
Prepare the ingredients for the ham and cheese pies according to the list.
For the dough, melt the butter and mix it with salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Since I use dry yeast to combine with flour, and not liquid, I mix it with the flour, and then pour the liquid mixture into the prepared flour. I mix the ingredients and knead the dough. The flour has gone... of completely different properties... Therefore, you have to navigate by its quantity when kneading.
Leave the dough to rise at room temperature, protecting it from drying out.
For the filling, grate the cheese, sprinkle it with spices and mix with a raw egg.
Divide the dough into two approximately equal parts or one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the smaller one into a layer about 5 mm thick. Place slices of ham on it at a distance of 1-1.5 cm from each other.
Place a portion of the cheese filling on the ham.
Roll out the second part of the dough in the same way and cover the dough with the filling with it. Then use a suitable glass to form the pies. To do this, cut round pies with the top of a glass, pressing down, cutting through both layers of dough to the cutting surface.
Roll out the dough scraps again or simply sculpt round pieces and form the same (or maybe a different shape) pies. When kneading the dough again, the pieces may turn out crooked...
Place the dough pieces on a greased baking sheet; it is recommended to brush the surface of the dough with yolk or a mixture of yolk and cold water. I planned to sprinkle with sesame seeds, but forgot.
After a short proofing, place the pies in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes (time depends on the properties of the oven) until the desired browning.
Nine pies with ham and cheese are ready.
They are delicious both hot and cold!
