Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake pies with cabbage and apples? First prepare the filling. It can be made from fresh or sauerkraut, or combine both types. Keep in mind that pickled vegetables will take longer to cook than fresh ones. Sourish varieties of apples are well suited for fresh cabbage filling, and low-sweet varieties will perfectly complement sauerkraut.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the pre-peeled carrots on a coarse grater.

Step 3

Step 3
Chop the cabbage into thin strips.

Step 4

Step 4
In a frying pan with added vegetable oil, fry the carrots, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Carrots will give the filling a pleasant color and additional taste.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the prepared cabbage in the pan and stir. Simmer the cabbage over medium heat, stirring. When the cabbage becomes softer, add salt.

Step 6

Simmer the cabbage until almost done. Add bay leaf, stir.

Step 14
A fluffy yeast “cap” should appear on the surface.

Step 15

Step 15
Prepare the remaining ingredients for the dough. Take odorless vegetable oil. Be sure to sift the flour so that it is saturated with oxygen. Thanks to this, the dough will rise well and the baked goods will turn out fluffy.

Add the rest of the flour gradually, while kneading the dough and observing its consistency.

Step 21

Step 21
Knead a homogeneous, soft, tender dough that almost does not stick to your hands. Cover it with a towel and leave it in a warm place to rise.

Step 22

Step 22
The rising time will depend on the activity of the yeast and the air temperature, so it may vary. It takes me about 70-90 minutes. It increased in volume by 2-2.5 times.

Step 23

Step 23
Gently knead the dough and place it on a table sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into equal parts and roll into balls. Their quantity will depend on the desired size of the pies.
