Making homemade baking is a laborious and time-consuming process. Perhaps that is why pies are baked infrequently, but in large quantities - so that there is enough for both households and guests, and not for one day. And the question arises before the hostess: how to store a stock of pies so that they do not become stale, moldy and retain their original appearance and taste.
It is necessary
- - plastic containers;
- - plastic bags;
- - refrigerator with freezer.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the freshly baked pie, kulebyaku or roll immediately from the baking sheet, place on a wooden board or dish and cover with a clean dry towel. The pie should "rest" - then it will be tasty and juicy, and it will be able to be stored longer. Cut the warm pastry into pieces and serve.
Step 2
Buns, shanies and cheesecakes also need rest after the oven. Do not stack them up in a heap - distribute the pies on the platter so that they do not stick together or deform under each other's weight.
Step 3
To preserve the freshness of an open fruit or berry pie, top it with sour cream, whipped with sugar. Such a cake will not dry out, besides, the fermented milk product will favorably emphasize the aroma and taste of berries. Let the sweet sauce soak a little and then cut the baked goods.
Step 4
Fold the remaining pastry after the meal in plastic containers with a lid or tie in plastic bags. In this form, it is successfully stored until the next meal. Pack only completely cooled baked goods, otherwise they will become damp and the dough will lose its flavor.
Step 5
Cut the open pies into pieces and fold them in pairs, filling to each other. Wrap tall kulebyaki in separate pieces, otherwise the filling will fall out of them. Use small breakfast bags for boxed packaging. Wrap them tightly to block off air and prevent the chunks from becoming stale.
Step 6
Do you want to save your pies for a longer time? Place the plastic bags of the baked goods in the refrigerator. Preheat them in the oven or microwave before serving. Place paper napkins underneath to prevent microwave-safe pies. Reheat only the baked goods you plan to eat - chilling and reheating repeatedly will degrade the flavor.
Step 7
The pies are stored in the refrigerator for no more than a week. If you want to provide yourself with baked goods for a longer period, put them in the freezer. Wrap the patties or pieces of kulebyaki in thin plastic bags or parchment paper one by one. In this form, buns can be stored for up to one and a half months. You can freeze both baked and raw cakes - their flavor will remain unchanged in any case.
