Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make dough for Ossetian pies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Classic Ossetian pies are made from simple yeast dough. Pour warm milk and water, heated to 36 degrees, into a deep bowl; the temperature can be determined with a clean finger; it should be comfortable at this temperature. It is important not to overheat the liquid so as not to “kill” the yeast.

Step 2

Step 2
Add sugar, yeast and three tablespoons of wheat flour to a bowl of liquid. Stir the ingredients until the bulk products are completely dissolved. I used dry yeast, it is practical to store and easy to work with. You can use raw yeast if you wish.

Step 3

Step 3
Leave the mixture warm for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4
In the meantime, sift the wheat flour, it is better to do this twice, so as not only to remove all the smallest particles of various kinds of impurities and hairs, but also to saturate the flour well with oxygen, which will have a positive effect on the quality of the yeast dough. After a while, a foamy cap should appear on the yeast mixture. If this does not happen, then the yeast is not active and baking will not work with it, you need to use another one.

Step 5

Step 5
Add salt, melted butter to the bowl with the yeast mixture and start adding wheat flour in small portions. Continue adding flour and kneading the dough until it begins to come together. Continue kneading the dough with your hands on a floured work surface until you have an elastic, smooth dough. You may need a little less or more flour.

Step 6

Step 6
Grease the dough for Ossetian milk pies with vegetable oil, place in a bowl, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours. While the dough is resting, you can start preparing the fillings for the pies. Ossetian pies are prepared with meat, pumpkin, potatoes and cheese, with herbs and cheese, with beet tops and cheese and other fillings. The dough should double in size.

Step 7

Step 7
Punch down the dough and divide it into three parts. Our classic dough for Ossetian yeast pies is ready. Move on to making the pies. A real Ossetian pie must be thin, so the number of pies made from this dough also depends on the form in which they will be baked. Bon appetit!
