Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Activate the yeast. To do this, dilute 2 tsp in 50 ml of warm milk. sugar and dissolve 40 g of yeast. Place the mixture in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Knead the dough thoroughly. This will take 10-15 minutes, the dough should not stick to your hands, but it will be soft and tender. All of the above steps can be done in a bread maker, if you have one. “Yeast dough” mode — 1.5 hours.

Any filling will do, both sweet and savory. I made apple filling for half of the dough. To do this, I peeled 3 apples, chopped them, and mixed them with 8 tsp. sugar and 2 tbsp. starch and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. The starch filling will not leak out of the pies.

Step 13

The dough is non-sticky and rolls out on the table without flour or butter.

For the other half of the dough, I made a filling of 6 boiled eggs, a bunch of green onions, 60 g of butter and 0.5 tsp. salt.

Step 16

Step 16
This amount of dough made almost 2 trays of pies.
