Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake yeast pie with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients for making the dough. Take unscented vegetable oil. Warm the milk slightly.

Step 2

Step 2
Be sure to sift the flour. It will be enriched with oxygen, which will facilitate the easy rise of the dough. As a result, the baked goods will turn out fluffy.

Step 3

Step 3
In a large, tall bowl, combine lukewarm milk, yeast and 1 tsp. sugar, stir. Add about 2-3 tbsp. sifted flour. Mix everything with a whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Step 4
Leave the yeast mass to activate for 10-15 minutes. The yeast will rise slightly and numerous bubbles will appear on the surface. This means the yeast is active and of good quality.

Step 5

Step 5
Add salt, remaining sugar (1 tsp) and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Stir.

Step 6

Step 6
Add most of the sifted flour, stir the dough first with a spoon.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the rest of the flour in small portions, stirring the dough each time. You shouldn’t pour out all the flour right away, as you may need less of it than indicated in the recipe. And too much flour will make the dough difficult to rise and less tasty.

Step 8

Step 8
The dough turns out soft, pliable, and almost does not stick to your hands.

Step 9

Step 9
Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 60-80 minutes.

Step 10

Step 10
While the dough is rising, make the filling. Instead of champignons, you can use wild mushrooms. They must first be boiled in salted water.

Step 11

Step 11
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

Step 12

Step 12
Place washed and peeled champignons on a kitchen towel to absorb excess liquid. Leave for 15-20 minutes so that all the moisture is absorbed into the fabric. It is important to dry the mushrooms well, otherwise, once saturated with moisture, they will become watery. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes.

Step 13

Step 13
Add vegetable oil to the pan. Fry the onion while stirring until half cooked.

Step 14

Step 14
Place the chopped champignons in the pan with the onions and stir. Fry the mushrooms and onions until cooked and moisture evaporates. While cooking, salt the mushrooms and add ground black pepper if desired. Cool the mushrooms.

Step 15

Step 15
Cut the pre-peeled potatoes into pieces and place them in boiling salted water.

Step 16

Step 16
Boil the potatoes until tender. The finished potatoes should be soft and easy to pierce with a knife. Drain the water from the potatoes. Add a little butter to the hot potatoes and mash them with a potato masher. Cool the mashed potatoes.

Step 17

Step 17
Combine the fried mushrooms and mashed potatoes and mix well.

Step 18

Step 18
The dough has risen and its volume has increased 2-2.5 times.

Step 19

Step 19
Gently knead the dough and place it on a table sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into 3 unequal parts: larger for the base of the pie, smaller for the top. I left some dough for decoration.

Step 20

Step 20
Roll out most of the dough into a round layer slightly larger than the diameter of the pan.

Step 21

Step 21
Cover the bottom of the pan with parchment and grease the sides with vegetable oil. My mold diameter is 22 cm. Transfer the dough into the mold and form the sides.

Step 22

Step 22
Place the filling on the dough.

Step 23

Step 23
Roll out the smaller dough ball in the same way and cover the top of the filling. Pinch the edges of the dough in a convenient way. Make a hole in the center of the cake to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 24

Step 24
If desired, you can decorate the top of the pie with any dough figures. I made a bunch of grapes and flowers. You can cut out any other decorations. Cover the formed cake with a towel and leave to proof for 20 minutes.

Step 25

Step 25
To grease the pie, mix the yolk with milk.

Step 26

Step 26
Brush the top of the pie with the yolk mixture.

Step 27

Step 27
Sprinkle the pie with sesame seeds.

Step 28

Step 28
Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. If the cake has browned ahead of time, but the inside is not yet baked, cover the pan with a layer of foil. Set the baking time and mode taking into account the operating characteristics of your oven. Cool the finished pie slightly and remove from the mold.

Step 29

Step 29
Cut the pie with potatoes made from yeast dough into portions and serve warm. Bon appetit!
