Lenten baking recipes for every day. Delicious and simple Lenten recipes for every day

There is an opinion that lean dough is something boring, bland and tasteless. However, believe me, this is not the case. Yes, it is prepared without eggs and milk, gelatin and butter. But it’s quite possible to do without these ingredients and prepare something so delicious that you’ll lick your fingers.

Therefore, if you observe the Orthodox Lent, then today’s selection of recipes for various versions of Lenten dough will come in handy for you. By the way, this base for pizza or dumplings can be used all year round. I am sure that those who watch their weight will appreciate it.

The main ingredient of lean dough is flour. It is usually customary to add premium grade wheat. If you want the prepared dish to be not only tasty, but also healthy, I advise you to use whole grain. Or, alternatively, you can mix it half and half with white wheat. You can also use oatmeal, buckwheat, corn and rice flour.

Another irreplaceable ingredient in the base for pies and buns is water. If you cook without yeast, I recommend using sparkling mineral water. It will saturate the dough with air bubbles. Thanks to this, it will become tender and soft.

Add more vegetable oil. Both refined and unrefined vegetable oil can be used. The choice here is huge: sunflower, corn, olive and so on. If you are preparing savory baked goods, you can use vegetable oil infused with garlic or herbs. This will give the dish an amazing taste. This option is especially good when making flatbreads, such as Italian focaccia.

Well, are you ready to start preparing the Lenten dough? Then catch the 6 best base recipes for dishes and baked goods.

In general, there are several options for the Lenten test. It's flaky, yeasty and bland. The latter is good because it comes up much faster than the butter one. And besides, baked goods made from it do not go stale very quickly. Only for this you need to wrap it in linen or cotton cloth and place it in a plastic bag.

Lenten yeast dough for pies

This dough is prepared using raw yeast. Although, if you don’t have them on hand, you can use dry ones, however, you will need much less of them: only 7 g. Clean drinking water is used to prepare it.

Although, if you wish, you can experiment by making the dough with mineral water or potato broth. Don't be afraid, you won't spoil it.

On the contrary, thanks to such interpretations the dough will be tastier and softer. And before you cook it, stock up on the necessary products.

What you will need:

Preparation:

Heat the water to 35-40 degrees and dissolve the sugar in it. Then add yeast and a little flour, after which we mix everything thoroughly.

Next, cover the bowl with cling film and leave it warm for 10 minutes. During this time, the yeast should be activated. And you and I will be able to check whether they are good or not, which means we will finally determine whether they can be used to prepare dough. The presence of a “cap” on top is a sure sign that the yeast is good and fresh.

Then mix thoroughly, trying to dissolve the lumps as much as possible. If they still remain, do not be discouraged. They will all dissolve while kneading the dough. Next, cover the container with cling film and leave it warm for half an hour.

At this time, live yeast will actively ferment the dough, helping to ensure that future baked goods are more fluffy.

If the room is cool, pour warm water into a bowl and place the container with the dough in it. This will create the optimal temperature for the dough to rise.

In half an hour the dough will increase several times. Add vegetable oil to it. We also gradually add the remaining sifted flour into the dough and knead it thoroughly.

Sift some flour onto a work surface. Place the dough on it and continue kneading it for 10 minutes. First, lubricate your hands with vegetable oil. As you knead, it will become soft and elastic, and will not stick to your hands.

During this time the dough will become airy. Now you can safely roll it out and use it for pies or buns. And it will also be an excellent base for buns.

Recipe for dough with dry yeast for buns and buns

Like lean dough with live yeast, it is prepared without eggs or milk. The only difference is that we will make it with dry yeast. This quick dough is incredibly easy to prepare. Don't believe me? Do it yourself and then share your feedback in the comments.

What you will need:

Preparation:

Pour warm water into a bowl. Its temperature should be approximately 40 degrees C. Pour a packet of dry yeast here and leave for a while so that the “grains” get wet.

Don't forget that the flour must be sifted.

Using a whisk, mix all ingredients into a homogeneous mass.

The dough should look like pancakes. Let it sit for 20 minutes to see how it rises.

If bubbles appear on the surface of the mixture, this indicates that the yeast is good.

You can continue kneading. To do this, you need to add 1 more glass of flour and vegetable oil to it and actively mix all the ingredients with a whisk. Then add the remaining flour and mix. Pour flour onto a work surface and place the dough here.

Then add the remaining flour and mix. Sprinkle flour onto the work surface. Place the dough here.

To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, grease them with vegetable oil before working.

And we begin to knead it with our hands on the table. Remember that the dough should be soft. The main thing here is not to overdo it with flour. If you add a little more than required, it will become too tight and will not rise well.

Form the dough into a log and cover with a bowl or film. We leave it on the table for half an hour until it comes up. Although this is not monastery dough, it is no worse. It will make delicious Lenten baked goods.

What you will need:

Preparation:

Pour starch and flour into a deep bowl. Mix them. Pour in the vegetable oil and mix everything thoroughly again.

Knead the dough with your hands. It should turn out smooth and tight. Then place it on a floured work surface. You can let it rest a little, or you can roll it out right away. From the rolled out layer, cut out cookies of the desired shape.

Unleavened dough without yeast for pies and pizza

If you haven't made a good kale pie in a while, it's time to fix that. For cabbage soup, I recommend kneading lean dough without yeast. This is not difficult to do, and the pie will be an excellent variety for a Lenten menu.

This recipe is suitable for both closed and open pies with potatoes and mushrooms. And also for sweet pies with jam or berries.

What you will need:

Preparation:

Pour vegetable oil into a bowl. And fill it with hot water. Add salt and mix with a spoon.

Add sifted flour. The amount of flour directly depends on what kind of filling is planned for the pies or pie.

For pies with berries, it is advisable to use more flour so that the dough is tighter.

If the filling is cabbage, potato or mushroom, you can use half a cup less flour than indicated in the recipe.

Add baking powder to the flour and begin to knead the dough intensively. Then cover it with cling film and leave for half an hour to “rest”. And then we form it into pies or pizza.

For lean dumplings without eggs

The most successful lean dough for dumplings is custard. It is naturally prepared without eggs. However, it kneads much easier than egg. And besides, it turns out to be very elastic. By the way, the entire cooking process is presented in detail in this video.

From this dough you can make dumplings with potatoes or cabbage. And those who wish can also make dumplings with cherries.

Fasting is a very strict, one might say, biased period regarding the composition of the diet. But it also allows you to treat yourself to some baking from time to time. And if you have time, then at least every day.

Baking during Lent, naturally, cannot be rich, that is, containing eggs, milk, butter and even modest margarine. The dough is based only on water and flour, however, this kneading nevertheless makes excellent pies, and especially quick ones that are fried in a frying pan (this, of course, is not exactly baking, but they are pies), buns, pizza, and rolls. That is, everything that the soul and stomach yearn for most during strict restrictions.

Baking depends on the dough

The quality of the finished product depends on how well the dough is mixed, how and in what quantities the ingredients are selected, and how well the conditions for its “aging” are met.

Baking during Lent - This is a complete transition to “low-fat” dough: water + flour + salt + a little sugar + vegetable oil. This is a basic recipe for all types of Lenten baked goods, which can also be successfully used for making dumplings, homemade noodles and pancakes.

Experienced housewives know that, even with such a limited number of ingredients, you can surprise your household with amazingly rich loaves and pies. The main thing is to knead the dough correctly and approach the matter with soul.

As for the dough itself, it responds in the same way - it fits quickly and efficiently, especially if it is mixed in warm water and left for several minutes in a warm place. And if the yeast is fresh.

The approximate time for increasing the dough in volume is 30-40 minutes.

Features of mixing on water

Whatever one may say, but has more advantages than disadvantages. Firstly, everyone has flour and water, which means homemade baked goods are available to all segments of the population.

Secondly, homemade baked goods, no matter how modest the recipe is, turn out to be many times tastier than store-bought ones. You can eat it fresh as soon as it cools down - this is a definite plus.

Thirdly, it does not become stale or moldy longer. The structure is somewhat different from baked goods - lean baked goods are more porous and viscous (“rubbery”), but this allows them to maintain freshness longer.

Varieties of Lenten dough

Despite the strictness and uniformity of the components of the Lenten dough, it is still divided into varieties:

1. Yeast.
2. Pie.
3. Custard.

And each one can make amazing pastries for Lent. You can begin to learn recipes precisely at the stage of preparing the correct dough.

Yeast: 3 glasses of water, 8 glasses of flour + 6 tablespoons for dough, 4 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, a glass (olive can be used), 100 g of fresh yeast.

Preparing this dough is simple and quick: mix flour (6 tablespoons), sugar, yeast and water. Let stand for about 15 minutes. This is a dough. Then add butter and the rest of the flour to it. Just like that, just a few minutes - and the dough is ready.

Pie: 500 g flour, 10 g dry yeast, water, depending on the amount of baking: from 400 to 600 g, a teaspoon of salt, 40 g each of sugar and vegetable oil.

Add sugar, yeast, salt and a little flour to some warm water. Leave for 15 minutes until frequent bubbles form on the surface. Little by little you need to pour flour into the dough and pour out the oil. The dough should be soft when kneading. Then you need to leave it alone for 25-30 minutes - let it come up. After it has doubled in size, the dough should be turned onto a floured board, kneaded completely and formed into a ball.

Custard: the name is rather symbolic, since the dough is prepared in water boiled and cooled to 30°C. In fact, yeast dough is not kneaded in a water bath. The cooking principle and ingredients are the same as in the previous recipe.

Filling

Baking during Lent can be such a delicacy! The dough is dough, but a lot depends on the filling. And here you can use everything that grows in the garden and on the fruit trees.

First of all, this is cabbage adored by most. Baking during Lent is not complete without pies with this filling. Cabbage is allowed even on the strictest days, so people use it: pies with pickled, stewed, and fresh cabbage are very helpful.

For donuts: roll out a layer 3 cm thick, cut out “pancakes” with a small glass and place them in heated oil. In 5 minutes they will inflate and turn into balls. Very fast and very tasty. The only downside to this recipe is that it's awkward to flip the donuts in the hot oil.

For brushwood: the layer should be thinner - 2-2.5 cm. Cut the dough into even diamonds, cut in the middle. Insert one end of the diamond into the resulting gap. Place in hot oil.

Sprinkle both the donuts and the brushwood with powdered sugar.

You can diversify the menu with all sorts of delicious things without going beyond what is permitted. Baking for Lent can be very diverse. The recipes testify.

Open pie with cucumbers and pearl barley porridge

This pie is very good if the housewife is not bothered by baking during Lent. What to cook - a question every day, but if the family adheres to fasting, then it becomes even more relevant and difficult to solve. But not with pearl barley pie.

Ingredients for the dough:

• half a glass of rye and wheat flour;
• 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• half a glass of water or weakly brewed coffee;
• 1 tsp. baking powder (1/2 if it is soda);
• 0.5 tsp. salt.

Filling: 100 g pearl barley (the volume will triple when boiled), 3 medium-sized pickles, 2 medium onions. The filling is easy to prepare - boil the pearl barley, cool, chop the onion and fry in vegetable oil, grate the cucumbers on a coarse grater, add to the frying pan while the onions are cooking. Simmer them together for a few minutes (until the cucumber smell loses its sharpness), add pearl barley.

Preparation of the dough: mix both flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl, pour in the butter and stir until crumbs form. Then pour in warm water or coffee. Knead a soft dough; it won’t turn out very much. Roll out onto a sheet of paper into an even circle (diameter 30x30 cm). Place the filling on it and pinch the edges nicely. Bake at 200-220 degrees for half an hour.

This pie is an excellent Lent bake. It is very easy to prepare in a slow cooker, only the shape will be slightly different. Actually, now everything is baked in this newest kitchen unit in order to save effort and time.

Can't do without dessert!

Who with a sweet tooth can endure long and dull days without their favorite desserts? You can replace them with fruits and nuts, but you still miss the bun.

One thing saves you from longing for cookies - baking during Lent. Pies with fruit filling can also be classified as desserts, but sometimes you want something different.

Strudels, charlottes, and rolls made from lean dough turn out to be quite tasty, which is important - not very high in calories. That's why everyone recommends them, even the popular LiRu newsletter. The post “Beautiful Baking” during the harsh period of Lent did not lose its popularity.

Advice for those who love fondant desserts. When preparing it, you can easily do without cream and milk. For the chocolate glaze, all you need to do is take a little water, sugar and cocoa powder. Mix sugar with cocoa, add water so that the mass remains thick enough, and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes.

White fudge should be prepared in the same way: just water and sugar.

Apple roll “Yum”

Dessert pastries for Lent, the recipes of which are presented in a wide range, emphasize the softness and subtlety of the dough, the sweetness and juiciness of the filling.

Dough: 300-350 g flour, 5 tbsp. l. refined sunflower oil, 1 tbsp. l. vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Filling: 5 large apples and a little sugar (approximately 100 g).

Preparation: Mix the ingredients for the dough, diluting them with a small amount of water. The mix should be steep. Wrap the finished dough in film or foil and leave for an hour in a warm place. During this time, you can make the filling: peel the apples, cut them into slices and mix with sugar.

Place the apples on a thin layer of dough (do not take the juice released from them), roll it up and bake it, after piercing it in several places. The dessert will be ready in 20-25 minutes.

Strudel with pear filling

Pastries for Lent, the photos of which look very appetizing, are just as tasty in essence. Pear strudel has a special taste and aroma - this dessert is worth trying.

Despite the apparent complexity of preparation, strudel is easy to prepare.

Dough: flour - 240 g, water - 120 ml, a pinch of salt and 40 g of vegetable oil.

Filling: 500 g durum pears, 2 pcs. cloves, lemon, 100 g of nuts and raisins, 50 g of sugar, a little cinnamon and a bag of vanilla sugar. Powdered sugar - for decoration.

Preparation: mix all the ingredients, put the dough in the refrigerator immediately after kneading and start filling. Steam the raisins, chop the nuts, peel and cut the pears into cubes, pour over lemon juice. Caramelize the sugar by adding a little water (literally a spoon). Add pears, raisins, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla sugar to the sugar. Cook until the liquid has completely evaporated, then mix with the nuts.

Roll out the dough thinly, grease with oil and distribute the filling evenly. Collapse. Bake for half an hour at 200 degrees.

Pumpkin buns

A trend during restrictions is baking in a slow cooker during Lent; recipes with photos are replete with all culinary resources. The offered buns are also from this series - their preparation can be easily transferred to the shoulders of a smart machine.

Ingredients: 2 cups flour, 1.5 cups grated pumpkin, 150 ml water, teaspoon sugar, teaspoon salt, 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 50 g fresh yeast.

Preparation: mix flour with sugar and salt, dilute with warm water. Add yeast and place in a warm place until the dough rises. Then add pumpkin and butter to it, mix, form small buns and let them rise further, directly on the baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

Cookies "Fruit Paradise"

Baking during the fast is practically two things in one: tasty and healthy. Such cookies can be safely baked on ordinary days, when there are no strict prohibitions. Lenten baking can replace traditional baking for followers of dietary nutrition.

Ingredients: a glass of any fruit juice, 1.5 cups flour, 1 tsp. soda, 3 tbsp. l. sugar, apple, 3 tsp. lemon juice, a few raisins, a bag of vanilla sugar, salt, 50 g of vegetable oil.

Preparation: mix flour with sugar, add a pinch of salt, quench soda with lemon juice and stir in fruit juice, add butter. Pour the liquid into the flour, add washed raisins, peeled and diced apple, zest and vanilla sugar.

Knead the dough, form it into balls with wet hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the balls with sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 o.

What else can you bake during Lent?

To make it easier to endure the difficulties of fasting, you can treat yourself to your favorite dish, borrowed from the Italians, who cannot live without flour. Did you guess it? That's right, it's pizza!

Such a hearty dish will not violate the strictness of fasting if you make dough for it in water (we’ll tell you how a little higher), and use mushrooms and tomatoes or some other vegetable mix as a filling. Of course, such a pizza should not contain cheese.

There is no simpler flour product than baking during Lent. Recipes from the photo of the dish you liked are available in huge quantities, and if one of the housewives considers the preparation itself too labor-intensive (dough in particular), then you can simplify your task by purchasing what you need ready-made. On the eve of Lent, a wide variety of it appears on supermarket shelves.

You don’t have to bother at all - just cut it into diamond shapes, sprinkle with sugar, put a cherry or nut in the center - and the five-minute cookies are ready. This is the most hassle-free home cooking experience.

Dough mixed with water produces wonderful homemade bread with a loose, spongy crumb and a crispy crust. There are also no problems with preparing it if you have a multicooker and the corresponding function in it.

Modern technologies allow you to experience what a pleasure it is to bake during Lent. There are numerous recipes with photos, the process is performed by a slow cooker, and the housewife can easily go to work or do her daily chores without worrying about the result.

Why is Lenten baking so relevant? The first reason is the pathological lack of time among working women. Therefore, every kitchen requires simple and most accurate recipes that give consistently good results. But there are a number of other reasons. 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, adherents of a healthy diet, people who fast or suffer 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

Typically, a pie is associated with a large number of rich 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.
