egg 1 PC.
unsweetened natural yoghurt 2 tbsp. l.
water 1 / 2-2 / 3 tbsp.
kiri cheese or cream cheese 220 g
Additionally

For syrup
sugar 2 tbsp.

Cooking method

  • Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Activate yeast by adding it to 1/4 tbsp. warm milk. Then add sugar, salt, flour, yogurt, egg, butter, 1/4 tbsp. sugar and water. Start kneading the dough, while adding water slowly and in portions, stop when the dough is smooth, but not too sticky for work. Knead for about 15 minutes until a homogeneous dough is obtained. I used a bread maker to knead the dough.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Leave the dough to ferment for 1 hour. I cooked 1/2 of the indicated portion, did not add an egg. Pizza program, full cycle + 30 minutes of fermentation. The photo shows the dough immediately after the end of the "Pizza" program, the consistency of soft plasticine.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)After the end of fermentation, place the dough on the work surface and give it a slightly oval shape.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Divide the dough into 48 pieces (1/2 serving - 24 pieces in the photo). To do this, first divide the dough into 3 parts, then each of the parts in half to get six, then in half again to get 12, 24, 48.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)1/2 part of the indicated portion, 24 pcs.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Oil a 35-35 cm round pan or two smaller pan, if desired. I had a mold with a diameter of 27 cm.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Cut the cheese into cubes equal to the number of dough pieces. Take 1 TK, flatten, put the cheese cube, and seal the filling into a smooth ball, which you place in a greased mold.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Continue working until the dough and cheese are finished. When placing in a mold, leave about 0.5 cm between the TK and do not try to give a perfectly round shape, let the uneven edge resemble a broken honeycomb. Leave under the hood to proof for 1-1.5 hours.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)The dough pieces should be at least doubled.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Brush the top of the dough with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 190 C for 20-25 minutes.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Meanwhile, prepare the sugar syrup by heating the sugar and water over medium heat. After boiling, simmer the syrup for 5 minutes, then add honey and orange water (or any other flavor of your choice). Turn off the stove heating.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)Remove the buns from the oven.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)And gently, using a spoon, pour the prepared syrup over the cake. Honestly, I didn't add all the syrup, as it seemed that it was very much and very sweet. Leave the cake to soak.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)The buns are very soft with a fine fibrous crumb.
    Bee Hive Pie (Khaliat al nahl)At the break. It is very difficult to convey the texture of syrup-soaked yeast buns.

Note

Prescribed by Katherine Abu Hadal. Thanks to the author!
Khaliat al nahl is a popular Arabic pie, usually filled with kiri cheese and sugar syrup, but it can also be savory, of your choice.
Interestingly, there are also recipes with the addition of such an ingredient as a baking powder for the dough, which is usually accompanied by a decrease in the fermentation time to 20 minutes, as well as a decrease in the time for the final proofing. Basically, before baking, the surface of the buns is greased with milk if it is supposed to be poured with sugar syrup, or a beaten egg if a cake is baked with unsweetened filling, for example, from cheese and herbs.

Corsica, Ilona, what a beauty!!!

Corsicahow are you on time! Believe it or not, I've been trying for a week to come up with something similar from many, many small buns, you just materialized my thoughts and gave a huge scope for culinary imagination.
Granmercy! :-)))
kavmins
very beautiful and of course delicious! thanks for the recipe) it's very convenient - no need to cut and cheese does not flow out, and the cut does not stale))
Fotina
Eh, you can't do it with Kiri, thanks to the anti-sanctions ((
What is better to replace? The consistency of curd cheeses is not the same. Although, at one time they sold curd hochland in triangles, and not in a bath, it looks a little like kiri.
I really wanted to bake. Tomorrow I'll look for what to put in the filling)

Svetlana, usually, as a substitute, they suggest using cream cheese, however, the option you indicated is quite good, why not? Perhaps, if there is already nothing suitable at all, then cottage cheese will also be a good substitute.

, delicious cake!
Evgeniya, Marina, thank you, kind you. I slightly spoiled the shape of the pie by forming a few of the last buns like a pie, it was more convenient to work with the remaining pieces of filling. And, so mechanically I changed to a convenient option that I didn't notice right away, it was too late to redo it, so one edge of the pie looks a little less like a honeycomb.

4er-ta, Tatyana, thank you for your feedback and for trusting the recipe! Beauty, great buns!
Quote: 4er-ta
true, the cake `` Bee hive '' I did not work
quite a kind of "individualist in the style of minimalism", and how did you only have the patience for 54 pieces of 11 g each? Jewelry work .

Nice shape, thanks for the info. Have you tried to bake yeast puff pastry in this form? I wonder if a base for mini-sandwiches would work?


4er-ta
Ilona, Thank you! I will definitely repeat the cake and make a little more syrup. This time the buns turned out to be slightly soaked, but mine, they were eaten very quickly and need to be continued.

I have had the Teskom form for a long time, but I baked it for the first time. Yes, it's interesting to try to bake puff pastry in it, thanks for the idea, I'll write what happens.

Corsica
Tatyana,. Thank you .
