Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a whey pie in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Take the highest grade flour. You can use homemade whey or ready-made store-bought whey. I have homemade whey left over from making Adyghe cheese.

Step 2

Step 2
Add vinegar, sugar and salt to the warm whey and stir. Taste the whey before adding salt. If it is salty, it does not need additional salt.

Step 3

Step 3
Melt the butter and cool. Pour the melted butter into the whey and stir. You can replace butter with vegetable oil.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the flour sifted with soda in parts and knead into a soft, elastic dough, adding a little more flour if necessary. You can read more about flour and its properties, as well as the nuances of working with soda in separate articles, link at the end of the recipe.

Step 5

Step 5
Please note that you may need more or less flour. The dough itself will take as much as it needs. If the dough is still sticky and you need even more flour than the recipe calls for, it is better not to overfill the dough with flour, otherwise the finished dough will be too dense and tasteless. It is better to sprinkle flour on your rolling pin and table when rolling. Roll the dough into a ball.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in cling film and leave for 15 minutes. During this time, gluten will develop in the flour, and the dough will be elastic and pliable. This dough is also ideal for pizza. Turn the oven on 180 degrees.

Step 7
Now prepare the filling. You can use any minced meat: pork, beef, or a mixture of pork and beef. And also chicken or turkey. But keep in mind that the calorie content and cooking time will change.
