Jam pie - tips from experienced chefs
Jam pies are especially tasty if spices are added to them. For example, apple pie is very good with cinnamon.
To make sure that the closed jam cake is ready, you need to pierce it with a match. If the dough does not stick to it, you can turn off the oven and remove the cake.
Jam pies should be filled with filling and finally made directly on a baking sheet, oiled. The pan must always be cold.
Ready closed pies with yeast dough jam should be allowed to rise a little on the sheet for about 20 minutes, and then, smearing them with yolk, put back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, then they will get a beautiful shine.
If you are preparing a pie, the recipe of which is based on the use of jam not as a filling, but as a component of the dough, then it can be easily turned into a cake, cut lengthwise into several parts and layered with a cream that suits your taste.
