Category: Bakery products

Ingredients
For the test:
Wheat flour	600 g
Milk	250 ml
Salt	1 tsp
Sugar	2 tbsp. l.
Rast. oil	90 ml
Yeast	2.5 tsp
Egg	1 PC.
Filling -	700 g:
Mushrooms (I have a row) + onion + cabbage

Cooking method

• Dough:
• We load all the ingredients for the dough into HP, dough mode.
• We follow the kolobok.
• I didn’t bother to wait for the whole cycle with proving, as soon as I kneaded - I took out the dough and put it in a bowl, covered it with a towel.
• Even during kneading, I began to prepare the filling: I chopped the mushrooms boiled in advance and fried in a pan with onions (small cubes) until the onions are soft. Salted and pepper to taste.
• Finely chopped the cabbage and stewed it in a separate frying pan (salt and pepper).
• Mixed mushrooms with cabbage and set aside.
• During the preparation of the filling, the dough was kneaded in HP.
• Came up in a bowl.
• I took the parchment according to the size of the baking sheet - I have a narrow parchment, so I took two overlapping pieces.
• On a table covered with parchment, she rolled out the dough in a rectangle, with a margin. I cut off the excess around the perimeter with a roller.
• I will need it for small details.
• Carefully, together with the parchment, I transferred the dough to a baking sheet.
• I put the filling on a baking sheet, obliquely to the filling, with a roller, cut into strips about 3 cm wide.
• 
• Then she began to cover the future back of the crocodile with overlapping strips, as if I were tying laces.
• 🔗
• 
• She formed a muzzle: I folded two front corners on top of one another to make a triangle.
• The tail was twisted from two parts (the far ones in the photo) arbitrarily, in a spiral.
• 
• From the remaining dough, I rolled out a circle and divided it into 4 sectors.
• I made the eyes of two strands at random.
• Shaped eyes and nostrils.
• Cut out the legs.
• 
• 
• I slipped my paws under the carcass.
• 
• Sculpted for the first time, so be lenient ...
• It turned out such a carcass:
• 
• 
• And at this time the oven is already warming up (200 *).
• I took kitchen scissors and with the very tips, without cutting to the end, I shape the teeth.
• And then I make cuts throughout the carcass, imitating scales.
• 
• 
• 
• Here he is - "handsome".
• Dinosaur thorns were stuck by her husband, well, he wanted to take part in the process.
• 
• 
• Then she put this "miracle" in the oven (I have a Brest, 20-year-old, very harmful).
• The temperature is 200 degrees.
• When the crust was slightly browned, took out the baking sheet, and greased the crocodile with an egg, and set it for another 10 minutes, for a "tan".
• 
• It's not difficult at all. It was more difficult to write the text for this topic.
• Go for it!
• I'm waiting for other crocodiles in the crocodile.

Note

What will I say: You can take any dough that is your favorite.
And the filling is also optional.

The original recipe uses minced meat with cabbage for the filling.
I think the idea itself is interesting.

The original recipe is located at this address, many thanks to its author.

How lovely!

Actually, this pie is meat.

It is this method of covering the filling (without legs) that is typical for the Karelian fishmonger

[Cubic]

Cubic,
I think it is possible with fish, or with chicken, crocodiles love both.
And I also want to take another dough, something like "shtermanchiks."
Maybe puff, or lazy-puff.
You need a dough recipe that is convenient to work with, because the process
takes a little longer than just pie.

Lana7386, NatusichkaB, Summer resident ,
girls, thanks! I'm glad to try.

Maybe I'm repeating myself, but I want to say - it's not easy, it's very simple.
So get down to business!

I just thought about it, and told my own that it was necessary to somehow stuff the filling into the head and tail. Because nobody wants to eat just dough -
zazhralis! And the husband added that in the paws, too, you need ...

[alyona]

alyona, if you make puff pastry, I am sure that the head is empty, with empty paws, and will leave with a bang

[puff pastry]

I use this recipe puff pastry.

I am reporting about the experiment - today I tried to make a crocokosh from puff pastry. But my torment is strange. On bread I noticed that I give more flour in all recipes than according to the recipe. The same story happened with its puff. I added an extra 50 grams, but the dough still turned out to be very soft. In addition, when sculpting the beast ..... my son made a Skoda and I had to distract myself, maybe because of this the dough got hot and as a result, when I put it in the oven, only general outlines remained from my crocodile. Well, in general, you can try again, but the sculpting process must be done in a cold room, that's for sure.
And yet, probably the most ideal option is yeast - you can play with it, cut it out.

Mistress, it's a pity that the crocosh did not work out, I hope it did not affect the taste.

I think you need to fill your hand on yeast dough, and then confidently and quickly sculpt from puff. Or, alternatively, sculpt a crocodile on the balcony ...

It tasted great. What was called a crocodile was eaten on the very first day !!! And they brought me another flour, so on Sunday I'm preparing take number two, and again with a flaky Report for me.

And here I am, what else I found here, a whole croc farm !!!!

Thank you HUGE, the child and I together blinded a crocodile with cabbage and were delighted, thank you again, all the best to you.

All people have crocodiles, but I have some kind of newt

Greed ruined me: the fillings swelled up a lot, including in the face, so it was not elongated and long, but thick, gobbled up

It tasted excellent, and inside it had a scrolled boiled meat, a boiled egg and a fried onion

[Aunt Besya]

Aunt Besya,
great crocodile!
And even more so for the first time!

What's inside him?

And yet, did you like the process itself?

I think it should be sculpted with a company, with family, or with friends.
Very good fun!

Well, accept my work too! I think he looks a little like a crocodile, but .... !!!!!!! My daughter and I did together so that the husband and son did not see, and when they brought it and put it on the table ... !!!! I have not seen such joy in the eyes of my husband and son !!!!! They squealed like children !!!! And what a wonderful dough !!!! Thank you very much for the idea (to the author and author of this Temka !!!) and for the master class! I have the filling: cabbage + onions + mushrooms + pork meat. I have a little minced meat left and my husband persuaded me to make pies from the same dough today! But he told me not to relax too much, because next week they will ask us "for an encore" to make another crodile! I had difficulties with his teeth (we had to finish them with a separate strip, since I did not understand how to make them with scissors; but they fell down during baking!) And with the tail (I also did not understand how to twist it. Do not judge strictly! It tasted AWESOME !!!!! Even the bottom of the crocodile was so soft and so tasty! THANKS VERY MUCH !!!!!

[Natusichka]

Natusichka ,
do not be shy, you have a great crocodile!

When I read the composition of the test in the original, it seemed to me ordinary. But I really liked the crocodile - the delicious dough.
You have confirmed this. This means that not only the shape is interesting, but the dough itself is successful.

And as for the teeth, you take scissors with almost closed blades, not closing 1-1.5 cm to the end, and, as it were, pinching the dough with them, closing the ends still half the gap, without completely cutting. Hold the scissors almost flat to the dough, at a slight angle.

A bit messy, but hopefully understandable.

P.S. Spun the tail arbitrarily. Words cannot explain.
Tip: take a piece of paper from your palm, with the proportions of a sheet of dough,
make cuts for the crocodile pigtails, and experiment with the tail - this is a minute matter, but then it will be easy with the dough.
I have there one side is folded into a triangle - the tail is turned to the side, and the other, arbitrarily, on the first, as if in a fan-shaped ledge. Confused completely.

Good luck.

Well, I want to share my advice: I have the filling left from the crocodile, so delicious !!!! So yesterday my daughter and I made pies, so I took a picture of the leftovers! I rarely put it on a baking sheet, so they fit so well and turned out so delicious! The dough is delicious !!!!! Thanks to the author !!!!!!

Take my next crocodile! This is the second in a row, but my heart senses that tomorrow morning I blind another one, because there is a lot of filling left. Filling: homemade minced meat (store), b / c cabbage, onion, rice, egg.

Severyanka, you have a whole alligator!
Well done!
Does it have a filling in its tail?

[alyona]

alyona in the tail, too, and a lot, because there is such a thick tail, and there is also a filling in the face - because it looks like a hippopotamus, and I also realized that when we fold the tail, there are surplus dough, that's where I need to take it on my paws. then the tail will become narrower and leaner. The only thing that didn’t make me very happy was the baking paper, I don’t remember the manufacturer, but I tore off this paper from the alligator. Paklan paper is super of all that I have tried.

Severyanka, I see.
I'm going to bake the crocodile again at the end of the week. I will also put stuffing in the tail, but I won't be in the face, except maybe just the brain ...

I baked right on a baking sheet, I didn't even think about paper. The dough didn't stick.

Did you put the fried minced meat?
I want to lightly fry the minced meat until it is semi-cooked. I would have put it raw, but I think it will not have time to bake with such a thickness.
I will make the filling meat (pork + beef) + mushrooms + onions.

[alyona]

alyona it's so nice to address the namesake, I also baked the first crocodile on a baking sheet, but I have it so terrible (this baking sheet), so lately I've been trying to put paper. And of course she fried the minced meat until it is fully cooked. We are waiting for your crocodile !!! Thanks for your master class!

Here is my second crocodile.
This one looks more like a crocodile.
I was in a hurry for the arrival of guests (overslept), so I didn't bother too much. Filling - meat twisted on a large wire rack (pork + beef) + fried mushrooms and onions + raw onions + spices
(oregano, thyme, black pepper). I made the filling the night before.
Guests very good liked it. Both the dough and the filling.
The eyes are olives. The tail and the head also have a filling.

I tried ... I made a crocodile, but I caught a fish
like this:

I make crocodiles quite often, they are very fond of my family, and especially when I want to delight the guests, it turns out and how !!!!!!!
At Christmas, I made the dough with my hands, since KP was busy making bread, I want to say that it is delicious, but ... in KP the dough after baking turns out to be some kind of special, even the bottom (belly) of a crocodile is somehow crunchy and crumbly ( awesome!), and if you knead it with your hands, then there is no such effect, but it's also very good! Thanks to the AUTHOR! BRAVO!!!!

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, to health.
I am also delighted with the Crocodile.

Unfortunately, I am not the author of the recipe, I just brought the recipe to the forum.
And of course this is the guest pie.
Successful and tasty dough. Everything in it is both appearance and content.
Delicious with different fillings.

I made it with meat filling, cabbage, cabbage and mushroom.

Dear, Alyonochka. thank you so much for the recipe for this WONDERFUL cake. My husband's parents will soon come to visit us and I decided to practice so to speak and bake this miracle. The experiment was successful, despite the fact that I never tried to make any complex shapes at all. The crocodile is a success! The dough is tender, light, tasty. The filling was made by chicken, mushrooms and cabbage. It blurred quite a bit during baking, but I think that a spoonful of flour in the dough would have solved this problem (although no one noticed the problem and I did not even have time to photograph this miracle).more than half of the guests were still hot, the husband and son did their best in the evening, and in the morning there was nothing. I will definitely bake even then a photo from me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH: rose: especially from my son, who was glad of this beauty and deliciousness - he is 1g11months
By the way, I got a small piece of a paw.

I had such a crocodile almost a year ago.

Made from Khrushchev dough, meat filling. I decided to show off the "form", although the content was also tasty!

My beasts:
Left - hippopotamus with cottage cheese
On the right is a reptile with cabbage and mushrooms



"Behemoth" turned out to be so fat, because there is a lot of filling - both in the face and in the tail.

Gee! The right muzzle is surprised, and the left one is dull and devoured !!!

Gee! The right muzzle is surprised, and the left one is dull and devoured !!!

What's inside Totoshi, what's the filling?

[Alyonochka]

Alyonochka, brought you thanks for the recipe and MK. The dough is delicious, but I got a little tight. This did not affect the final result. I made a crocodile with cabbage filling, and a turtle with meat.

Carrots, onions and mushrooms. And in a whisper I confess: there was not enough filling up to 700 grams, I had to add 150 grams. buckwheat porridge.

And the turtle is wonderful! And what are the medals on the shell?
