Many people fell in love with tasty and aromatic carrot pies back in the war period, when there was a shortage of food, in particular sugar, and bright carrots had an excellent sweetening property. This healthy root vegetable will help saturate the body with a number of vitamins and microelements, in particular carotene, which is indispensable for the good functioning of the visual organs.

Pour warm kefir into a large bowl. Combine it with yeast. Add sugar and salt. Add melted butter.
Add flour.
Stir to combine with liquid ingredients. In order for the dough to rise well, it must be kneaded thoroughly.
Place it in a large bowl and cover with a lid or plastic bag. Place in a warm place. In two hours the dough will increase 2-3 times.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling.
Grate the peeled and washed carrots on a fine grater. Transfer to a saucepan, add sugar and butter. Pour in 100 ml of water. Place the pan on low heat. Simmer until the carrots are soft, stirring the mixture periodically to prevent it from burning. When the carrots are soft, add cinnamon and citric acid.
You need to add enough citric acid so that the filling acquires a sweet and sour taste. Remove the pan from the stove and let the filling cool completely.
Your dough has most likely already risen. Place it on a floured table and divide into pieces.
Fold the edges of each piece towards the middle, and then turn the resulting bun over. Let the crumpets rise, covering them with a towel to prevent them from getting chapped.
Mash the bun with your fingers, making a flat cake. Place carrot filling in the middle.
Make the pies. Leave them to rise for 20-30 minutes.
Pour into the pan sunflower oil layer 1 cm, heat it. Check the seam of each pie, turn the carrot pie over, sealed side down, and give it a nice shape.
Place in the pan. Fry over medium heat until golden brown: first on one side, then turn over to the other side, and cook until done.
Transfer the finished pies to a paper napkin to remove excess fat. Cool until warm.
Pies with carrot filling are ready. Bon appetit!!!
Sincerely, Alina Stanislavovna.
We continue to fill the category of vegetable pies, and therefore we will add another very pleasant and at the same time slightly unusual combination - pies with carrots baked in the oven.
The pies are intended to be savory. I emphasize this because there are also recipes for pies with sweet carrot filling. Naturally, I will also publish these recipes for you, but later.
These carrot cakes are rich, aromatic, juicy and very piquant thanks to various spices and additives.
Pies with carrots (in the oven)
Ingredients:
- Ready-made yeast dough – 1-1.2 kg.
- Fresh washed carrots – 1 kg.
- Onions – 3 heads;
- Sugar – 1 tbsp. spoon;
- Salt – 2 teaspoons;
- Ground red pepper;
- Ground black pepper;
- Tomato paste – 100 ml.
- Table mustard – 1 tbsp. spoon;
- Vegetable oil – 50 ml.
- Vinegar 9% – 1 teaspoon;
The dough in this recipe uses ready-made dough. If you want your own homemade pie dough, then just open one of the savory pie recipes on this site - almost every one describes the process of kneading yeast dough.
Step-by-step preparation
- Since we have the dough, we must first start preparing the carrot filling for our oven-baked pies.
- The filling will be carrots stewed in a frying pan with various additives. Let's take a closer look at this process.
- Clean dry carrots need to be grated on a coarse grater.
- Pour oil into the frying pan and heat it on medium or closer to the minimum heat level of the stove. After all, we need stewing, not frying.
- Place the carrots in the pan. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Salt, pepper, add tomato paste, mustard, sugar, vinegar.
- Mix everything.
- Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it finely.
- Pour the onion into the pan with the carrots and stir.
- Cover with a lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.
What should the end result be? The carrots should shrink slightly in size and the liquid should partially evaporate. But at the same time, you should not overdry or let the carrots burn.
Is the filling ready? Put the pan aside and start the dough.
- Knead the dough and stretch it into a sausage, which must be divided into equal pieces.
- Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin to form round cakes.
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of carrot filling in the middle of each circle.
- Seal the pies. Pinch the seams tightly.
- Heat the oven to 180-200 degrees.
- Grease the baking sheet and the pies with beaten egg yolk.
- Place the pies on a baking sheet and close in the oven.
- Baking time is approximately 30 minutes. Focus on the color of the pies. Rosy, appetizing? So we're ready.

Sweet carrot filling
The sweet carrot filling is good on its own, as a tasty and healthy dessert, and as a juicy, tasty filling for pies, rolls or pies.
Compound
for 3 trays of pies or 2 pies
- Carrots – 3 large (0.8-1 kg);
- Orange or lemon – 0.5 (juice and zest) – not necessary, but the taste and aroma with them is wonderful;
- Apple sour or sweet and sour - 1 large;
- Salt - a pinch;
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons;
- Vegetable oil for frying.
How to cook
- Grate the peeled carrots on a coarse grater. Apple (peel and core) – grate on a fine (or coarse) grater. Orange: grate the zest on a fine grater, and squeeze the juice from the remaining orange onto the carrot and apple. Combine everything, add sugar and salt. And mix.
- Heat a frying pan with oil (about 1 cm layer). Place carrot mixture in it. Simmer covered for 25-30 minutes, checking and stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Cool the prepared sweet carrot caviar until room temperature, and then use it as a filling.
Carrot filling is ready
Do I need to boil carrots before stewing?
I don't see any need for this. Of course, it takes more effort to grate raw carrots than to grate boiled ones. This may only be important for those who have sore hands (then boil the carrots in their skins, peel them and grate them).
What can you put in a sweet carrot filling?
If you have nothing but carrots, butter, sugar and salt, you can get by with just these. At the same time, you can use butter (it will be even better).
But, nevertheless, it is advisable to put at least an apple in the carrot. Its sourness significantly changes the taste of stewed carrots in better side. With orange or lemon, the carrot mixture acquires a festive aroma. If there are no apples, then you can add seedless grapes, cranberries, nectarines, dried apricots, and prunes to the filling.
Stewed carrots with the addition of ginger, chili pepper (hot red pepper) are delicious, you can put a little ground black pepper (yes, in the sweet filling).

When it comes to sweet pastries in my family, everyone looks forward to it. I bake various sweets for my loved ones and family, including baked sweet pies. I always try to use a variety of fillings: I bake pies with fruit, and with jam, etc... By the way, ordinary carrots also make a wonderful sweet filling for pies. My kids don’t immediately realize that there are carrots in there, so try it too. Experiment in the kitchen with me and cook delicious pies with carrots in the oven, using this step by step recipe with photo.
- 550 grams of wheat flour,
- 1 tea. l. fast acting yeast,
- 1 glass of water (can be replaced with milk),
- 100 grams of vegetable oil.
For filling:
- 50-60 grams of butter,
- 2 tables. l. granulated sugar,
- 1 handful of raisins,
- 150-180 grams of carrots (1 large or 2 small).
How to cook with photos step by step
We slightly heat the water (if we replaced it with milk, then we do it the same way), then we add dry yeast, in such a warm environment it will become active in a few minutes. We use high-quality dry instant yeast. 
Also, a little sugar will go into the dough, two tablespoons will be enough, add the rest of the sweetness using the filling. 
Pour into the dough vegetable oil and mix until a more or less homogeneous mass is formed. 
Add flour in parts and mix, breaking up any lumps that accidentally form. 
As a result, we get an even and soft ball of dough; we leave it alone, covering it with a plastic bag or film. 
After 50 minutes the dough has tripled in size and is now ready for pies. 
For the filling, saute the grated carrots for 7-10 minutes in a frying pan with butter. The carrots will become soft, but make sure that the heat is not too high. Place the cooled carrots in a plate, add sugar and washed (dried) raisins. Mix and the sweet filling for the pies is ready. 
Pinch off pieces of dough, knead into a flat cake and put carrot filling in the middle. 
We pinch the pies and give them a slightly elongated shape. 
With the seam side down, bake the pies. Preheat the oven to 180° 15 minutes before baking. Carrot cakes are baked for 20-25 minutes. At the end of baking, brush them with sweet syrup. 
Bon Appetite!
