Pies

It is quite rare, but there are real masterpiece dishes in the world culinary tradition, which become a part of the culture of most of the inhabitants of planet Earth. We think pies can be called a vivid example of such worldwide popularity. People began to bake the first pies back in ancient times. However, antique cake had little in common with the modern type of bakery products with a variety of fillings that are baked or fried.

Types of pies

Over the tens of centuries of the existence of pies, a myriad of all kinds of recipes and forms have accumulated, as well as methods of making and decorating a ready-made dish. As a rule, the type of pies depends on the dough and filling that will be used in the process of making the dish. The following types of pies can be distinguished: yeast, puff or biscuit pastry pies, open or closed pies, and puff pies. There are pies with vegetable, mushroom, meat, fruit and berry or fruit filling.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of regional pie recipes that belong to the national cuisine of a particular state. For example, among the most famous types of Russian pies, the following can be distinguished: kulebyaki, kurnik, grind, undone, cheesecake, Siberian pie, as well as sweet pie with honey, berries or jam. Do not forget about the mini variety of pies. Russian pies are no less popular than pies.

Since the finished bakery product will always be distinguished by the delicious taste and aroma of freshly baked homemade pies. Pie can be called a versatile dish for most culinary traditions. In Europe, America or Asia, they like to feast on various types of pies. For example, in France, an open pie called kish is extremely popular. For Americans, apple pie has become a real symbol, and pumpkin and pecan pies are indispensable attributes of Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Composition of pies

The composition of pies depends primarily on the type of finished culinary product. For example, pies with a sweet filling will include sugar, cinnamon or other confectionery spices and sprinkles. For pies with meat, a determined dough and filling are used, which will give the finished dish a unique taste and aroma.

It can be said that the composition of pies depends only on the culinary preferences of the cook. The calorie content of the pies, as well as the vitamin and mineral composition of the dish, varies depending on the composition of the initial ingredients. The calorie content of pies filled with meat or sweet fruit jams, as well as jam, will be strikingly different from fish or vegetable dishes.

The benefits of pies

We think most will agree that there is a benefit of pies for the human body. Firstly, pies perfectly saturate the body, and also give strength and energy. This is most important for people whose work involves constant exercise.

Secondly, some varieties of pies, for example, with fruit jam or jam, as well as fish or vegetables, differ in their useful vitamin-mineral composition. However, with uncontrolled and frequent consumption of bakery products, the benefits of pies quickly transform into a significant weight gain.
