Is the dough prepared by the hostesses for fish pies different from any other dough? Are there any differences and what are they? For a fish pie, you can use any ordinary dough, or you can make a special one for this type of pie.
Differences between fish cake dough
Of course, for the fish pie, you can use the dough that the hostess uses when baking other pies. You can buy the dough at the store. And you can cook it specifically for the fish pie. When preparing this test, some rules should be taken into account. It is possible that they are not so significant, but it will not hurt to remember about them.
- No sugar is added to the fish pie dough. Also vanilla is not acceptable in them, fruit and berry mixtures are not desirable.
- But such spices as dill seeds, nutmeg (powder), caraway seeds, black pepper will be appropriate. You can add different greens to your jellied pies to your taste. Onions and butter are welcome. You can put cheese.
- It is advisable to take fish fatter and with fewer bones. Fish like halibut, cod, haddock, etc. are good choices.
For pies with fish, as well as for other pies, different doughs are used: yeast, puff, shortbread, liquid.
Yeast dough for fish pie
Yeast dough is a dough with which you can make open or half-open pies.
For the test you will need:
- 2 cups milk
- 50 g butter or spread
- 2 eggs
- 20 g yeast
- 1 tsp Sahara

- Dissolve sugar in warm milk (100 ml) and add yeast. When they disperse and rise with a hat, pour them into the remaining milk.
- Add eggs, salt, melted butter (spread, margarine).
- Sift the flour and add portions to the milk mass. Knead the dough. It should be soft and not stick to your hands. Put it in a warm place. Let it come up. Can be knocked out a couple of times. Prepare a pie from the finished dough.
Shortcrust pastry
This type of dough is good because you don't need to add yeast here. But on the other hand, it is rich in a lot of fat. A pie with such a dough is very satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients for the dough:
- 400 g spread (margarine)
- 100 g sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- flour on demand
Melt the fatty product, add sour cream, egg, salt. Stir well. Add flour sifted several times. Knead the dough. It is desirable to do this quickly. Make the dough into a bun and refrigerate for 20 minutes. At the end of the time, you can cook a fish pie.
Advice
The fish filling in the pie can be supplemented with other products, since fish alone is not the best option. Potatoes, rice and other cereals, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. go well with fish.
It must be remembered that each type of fish has its own specific taste. Combining several types of fish in one pie is undesirable.
