About This Recipe
Carrot and raisin pies emit such an appetizing aroma during baking that all your household members will eagerly await the moment they can try them. The fluffy yeast dough made with kefir without eggs and the sweet filling of carrots and raisins will make this pastry a hit at home tea parties. And the best part is, you'll always find the ingredients for these pies at home. If you have some kefir or yogurt lying around in your fridge, use them for the dough. Didn't find an orange for the filling? Take a couple of tangerines. Chop them along with the peel in a blender and add the resulting puree to the carrots; the citrus aroma will become even stronger.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
First prepare the filling for the pies. Grate the peeled carrots on a coarse grater, and grate the orange zest on a fine grater. Squeeze the juice from the orange and pour it over the raisins in the cup. Mix sugar and grated orange zest in a bowl.
Step 2
Heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the grated carrots, stirring, over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the sugar and zest and cook, stirring constantly, for another 3 minutes until the sugar begins to caramelize. Add raisins and orange juice, mix everything and let the juice evaporate. Cool the finished filling.
Step 3
For the dough, dilute the pressed yeast in 50 ml of warm water and leave for 10 minutes. Sift flour into a bowl. (If you have dry yeast, mix it with flour.)
Step 4
Pour room temperature kefir into another bowl. Add sugar and salt to it, mix with a whisk. Pour in vegetable oil and stir again.
Step 5
Add yeast and kefir mixture diluted in water to a bowl with flour, mix with a spoon. Knead the dough with your hands or with a mixer fitted with a hook attachment. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
Step 6
Roll the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes. During this time the dough should rise. Punch it down, cover again and leave for another 30 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the dough from the bowl to a floured work surface and knead again a little. Divide the dough into pieces of approximately 70-80 g and roll into balls. Mash each ball with your hand into a cake, place the filling in the center with a spoon, connect the edges of the cake and pinch.
Step 8
Grease a baking sheet with oil and place the carrot pies on it, cover with a towel and let stand for 15 minutes. Whisk the yolk with milk in a cup and brush the pies with a brush.
Step 9
Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the baking sheet with the pies in the oven, bake them for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Baking time depends on your oven.
