Delicious low-fat baked goods. Lenten desserts - three recipes for family tea parties

If you are currently fasting, this does not mean that you need to give up baked goods or sweet desserts. Sometimes you can treat yourself to these quick-to-prepare Lenten baked goods.

Apple pie with yeast dough

We will cook this one in vegetable oil. But you need to remember that sunflower (or olive oil) is allowed only on some days of fasting. Most often, this is Saturday and Sunday. That is, before preparing any Lenten baked goods, its ingredients must be checked against the products allowed on individual days of fasting.

To prepare such a wonderful aromatic pie we will need:

Warm water, two glasses;
wheat flour, four cups;
vegetable oil, glass;
yeast, one packet of dry (quick) yeast;
sugar, one hundred grams;
for the filling, apples, five medium ones;
juice, zest of one lemon;
strong tea, one cup.

Divide the sugar in half. 50 grams of sugar, plus flour, water, yeast, butter are mixed well. You need to let the dough, covered with a towel in a basin, rise warm. While the dough is rising, the apples need to be cored and cut into pieces, mixed with zest and lemon juice.

When the dough has risen, you need to knead it, divide it into two parts, roll out one part and place it on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil or in a mold. 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.

Put the pie back in the oven to finish baking. Have you taken the finished pie out of the oven? Brush it with tea and sugar again until it has a nice golden hue. Let it sit for a while, cool and you can serve it with tea.

Lenten cookies...with bananas

Bananas will replace eggs in these cookies and give them the required tenderness, looseness and viscosity. To prepare such amazing cookies, you need to mash a banana with a fork, add to it a little soy or coconut milk, oatmeal (“rolled oatmeal”), a handful of washed raisins, a handful of chopped walnuts, a little sugar, just a little bit, as already The ingredients in the cookies are sweet.

Make small balls from the mixture. They can be rolled in almond petals (available in the baking aisle). Place the balls on baking paper lined with a baking sheet. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Let's get it. Delicate, fragrant,

And in general, it’s not a sin to celebrate the Nativity Fast and brighten up everyday life with delicious fresh baked goods.

Lenten dough and fillings

For example, these:

  • Baguettes.
  • Loaves.
  • Pie and pies.

Lenten baking recipes are needed for those who watch their figure. After all, a diet is a diet, but the household demands something tasty. And it can be very difficult to refuse a fragrant dessert. Finally, there are people who fast. During such periods, Lenten baking recipes become a real lifesaver and a way to diversify the table.

What is Lenten baking?

This is a whole trend in cooking, which has been used by housewives of different nations for centuries. In general, this is the preparation of dishes without the use of baked goods (butter, eggs, milk). At first glance, the task is impossible. How to bake a delicious pie, cookies, cupcake or make buns without baking? But it's actually simple. Lenten baking recipes are very helpful for vegetarians and adherents healthy eating, people fasting or suffering from chronic diseases that require giving up a number of foods. Show your imagination, and such delicious smells will float from your kitchen that you won’t have to call anyone - they’ll come running on their own.

Delicious, aromatic pies

Pie is usually associated with big amount sweet additives in the dough. Housewives diligently put more butter, eggs, milk and sour cream into it, and then they have to increase the amount of yeast, because baking makes the dough heavier and increases the time required for proofing. The resulting products should be eaten immediately, on the same day. Baking makes the dessert delicious, but shortens its life; it dries out (especially baked in the oven) incredibly quickly. Try recipes for Lenten baking - the taste of the products is not much different, but they are prepared faster, easier and cheaper. There are two options for preparing pie dough: yeast and yeast-free. If you have children in your family, it is better to avoid yeast, as it causes bloating.

Classic yeast dough can be prepared according to your favorite recipe, just replace the milk with potato broth or water. You can add soy milk. Eggs cannot be added, but butter or replace margarine with sunflower margarine. Otherwise, everything is as usual. You will need to dilute the yeast in warm water (1 teaspoon per 2 cups of liquid). After 15 minutes, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 0.5 tsp. salt. Add a glass of flour, mix, add 50 g of vegetable oil and, gradually adding flour, knead an elastic, moist, but not sticky dough.

You will need 500 g flour, 100 ml water, 50 ml vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon 9% vinegar. Pour the flour into a heap on the table, make a hole, pour in water and vinegar, add salt and knead the dough. Cover it with film and leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Delicious pies

If you are interested in quick and easy Lenten baking, then knead the simplest dough. To do this, take potato broth, add salt, sugar and flour to it. You should get a loose but elastic dough. Mashed potatoes made from boiled potatoes are good for filling pies. Fry them in oil until cooked and you are ready to enjoy. If baked pies are preferred, then this dough will not work - the products will turn out too tough.

Yeast dough comes out softer and fluffier. Take a glass of warm water, pour into a large bowl, add 7 g of dry yeast, 3 teaspoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Now add 3 (+0.5) cups of flour one at a time. Knead the dough and remove to increase in volume.

Like other Lenten baked goods a quick fix, such pies do not require much time to prepare. It will take about 30 minutes to rise the dough and preheat the oven, and then about 15 minutes for the baking itself.
