Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Required Ingredients

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare eggs, warm water, vegetable oil, salt and a pinch of soda

Step 3

Step 3
Mix everything well

Step 4

Step 4
Add flour and knead the dough — in our case it is better to add it all at once and mix quickly, this will make the dough easier to knead

Step 5

Step 5
We get a fairly stiff dough (I would say a little steeper than dumplings, but softer than noodles)

Step 6

Step 6
Cover the dough and leave for 1 hour, this will make it more elastic and easier to work with.

Step 7

Step 7
Then divide the dough into 6 unequal parts

Step 8

Step 8
We roll out each part, but not too thin so that it does not tear, and not too thick so that it is not tough.

Step 9

Step 9
Each layer of dough should be much larger than the mold and if we put it inside, the edges should hang down a little

Step 10

Step 10
Place the dough layer in boiling water for 30 seconds, starting with the smallest one.

Step 11

Step 11
Then carefully transfer it to ice water.

Step 12

Step 12
Place on a towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 13

Step 13
After all the sheets are boiled, you can start filling

Step 14

Step 14
Now melt the butter for the filling.

Step 15

Step 15
Trem hard cheese

Step 16

Step 16
Three suluguni (or disassemble into fibers — as it turns out)

Step 17

Step 17
Add soft curd cheese to the filling (either feta cheese or Adyghe cheese — your choice). We mash it with a fork, or crumble it, I intentionally left quite large pieces of this cheese

Step 18

Step 18
Mix the filling

Step 19

Step 19
Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil (mine is 30x13x5.5 cm)

Step 20

Step 20
Place the largest layer of dough on the bottom of the mold and a little filling on top. This pie can also be cooked on a baking sheet — then put the smallest layer on the bottom and then, in ascending order, fold the edges down

Step 21

Step 21
Drizzle with melted butter

Step 22

Step 22
Next we alternate in the same sequence until the smallest layer

Step 23

Step 23
Fold the edges up and pour butter over the top.

Step 24

Step 24
Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until light golden brown.

Step 25

Step 25
We cut it and try it — the pie is very tender and satisfying, it is quite an independent dish

Step 26

Step 26
Bon appetit!
