Formula i upotreba za prhko pita testo (Formula and use for shortcrust pastry)


Osnovno prhko testo za pite.

Sastojci: 500 g brašna Tip 400 (US – All-Purpose Flour (unbleached) | DE – Weizenmehl Type 405 | FR – Farine de blé T45 | UK – Plain flour | IT – Farina di grano tenero Tipo 00), 250 g putera, 125 ml vode, veci prstohvat soli.

Izracunavanje formule tj. osnosa brasna, putera i vode.

Ako uzmemo da je 125 ml vode ≈ 125 g, dobijamo:

500 : 250 : 125

Skraćeno (podeljeno sa 125):

brašno : puter : voda = 4 : 2 : 1

Znači:

- 4 dela brašna

- 2 dela putera

- 1 deo vode

To je klasičan odnos za prhko pita testo.

Karakteristike testa:

- Prhko i mrvičasto nakon pečenja

- Ne diže se (bez kvasca i praška za pecivo)

- Drži oblik u kalupu

- Neutralnog ukusa – ide i uz slatko i uz slano

Ovo testo koristi se za prhka, lisnata i polulisnata testa, tačnije za:

1. Slatke i slane pite

Od jabuka, višnje, borovnice, bundeve, sira, spanaća

2. Tartovi i kis (en. Quiche)

 klasična podloga za voćne tartove i slane kis varijante

3. Galete

Rustične pite koje se peku bez kalupa

- Pite sa poklopcem (en. pie crust)

- Američke pite sa gornjom i donjom korom

- Mini pite i tartleti

Nije idealno za:

- Kore za savijače (vučeno testo)

- Mekana dizana testa

- Biskvite i kolače sa vazdušastom strukturom

Da li moze ovo prhko pita testo da se koristi za pite sa mesom?

Može — ali uz jednu važnu napomenu 

Kada MOŽE pita sa mesom?

Ovo testo (4 : 2 : 1 – brašno : puter : voda) može da se koristi za:

- zatvorene mesne pite

- pita sa mlevenim mesom u kalupu

- rustične pite sa mesom (galete)

- engleski i francuski tip mesne pite

Meso ide termički obrađeno unapred (dinstano, sa lukom i začinima, bez viška tečnosti).

Kada NIJE dobar izbor?

- klasična balkanska pita sa mesom (razvlačene kore)

- burek

- pite gde se meso stavlja sirovo između tankih kora

Razlog: ovo testo je prhko, nema elastičnost i ne trpi dugo pečenje sa sirovim, vlažnim nadevom.

Kako da uspe pita sa mesom?

- meso prethodno izdinstati i ohladiti

- nadev da bude suvlji (bez sosa)

- testo peći na 180–190 °C

- idealno u kalupu ili kao zatvorena pita


Basic shortcrust pastry (pie crust) for pies.

Ingredients: 500 g flour (US – All-Purpose Flour (unbleached) | DE – Weizenmehl Type 405 | FR – Farine de blé T45 | UK – Plain flour | IT – Farina di grano tenero Tipo 00 | Serbia - Type400), 250 g butter, 125 ml water, a large pinch of salt.

Calculating the formula, i.e. the basis of flour, butter and water.

If we assume that 125 ml of water is ≈ 125 g, we get:

500:250:125

Abbreviated (divided by 125):

flour : butter : water = 4 : 2 : 1

Means:

- 4 parts flour

- 2 parts butter

- 1 part water

This is the classic ratio for shortcrust pastry - pie crust.

Characteristics of the dough:

- Crisp and crumbly after baking

- Does not rise (without yeast and baking powder)

- Keeps its shape in the mold

- Neutral taste - goes with both sweet and salty

This dough is used for crumbly, puffy and semi-puffy doughs, more specifically for:

1. Sweet and savory pies

From apple, cherry, blueberry, pumpkin, cheese, spinach

2. Tarts and cakes (Quiche)

a classic base for fruit tarts and savory tarts

3. Galettes (French galette)

Rustic pies that are baked without a mold

- Pies with a lid (pie crust)

- American pies with upper and lower crust

- Mini pies and tartlets

Not ideal for:

- Circular pies (pulled dough)

- Soft risen dough

- Biscuits - sponge cakes and cakes with an airy structure 

Can this shortcrust pastry dough be used for meat pies?

It can - but with one important note.

When CAN you use it for meat pie?

This dough (4 : 2 : 1 – flour : butter : water) can be used for:

- closed meat pies

- pie with minced meat in a mold

- rustic meat pies (galettes)

- English and French type of meat pie

The meat is thermally processed in advance (stewed, with onions and spices, without excess liquid).

When is it NOT a good choice?

- classic Balkan pie with meat (stretched crusts - circular pies)

- borek

- pies where meat is placed raw between thin crusts

The reason: this dough is brittle, lacks elasticity and does not tolerate long baking with a raw, moist filling.

How can I make my meat pie successful?

- stew the meat beforehand and cool it

- the filling should be drier (no sauce)

- bake the dough at 180–190 °C

- ideally in a mold or as a closed pie
