Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make yeast pies with ham and cheese in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Before purchasing yeast, read the instructions. Since there is fast-acting yeast that mixes with flour immediately. In the same recipe you will need yeast, which is diluted with liquid — in this case, milk. Take the highest grade flour. Read about the types of yeast and how to replace them in recipes in the article below the steps.

Step 2

Step 2
Dissolve sugar, salt and yeast in warm milk heated to a temperature of 37-40°C. Mix everything. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. There should be a foam cap on the surface. This means that the yeast is active and you can knead the dough further. If this does not happen, baking will not work.

Add mayonnaise and whisk until smooth.

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.

Place a mound of cheese filling on top of the ham.
