Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make yeast pies with water in a frying pan? Measure out the required ingredients. Take the highest quality wheat flour. Refined vegetable oil, odorless.

Step 2

Step 2
How to knead yeast dough using water? Dissolve dry yeast in warm water (no more than 40 degrees). Add sugar, salt and stir. Yeast begins to work actively in a warm environment, dies in a hot environment, and does not wake up in a cold environment. Leave the dough for 10 minutes in a warm place. During this time, a foam cap should form on its surface. If this does not happen, then the yeast is spoiled or expired. It’s better to take others, otherwise the baking won’t work.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour in refined vegetable oil.

Step 4

Step 4
Be sure to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. The splendor of future baking depends on this. Also keep in mind that flour differs in its properties, so you may need more or less of it than indicated in the recipe. You can read more in the article, the link to which you will find at the end of the recipe.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour the liquid yeast mixture into the bowl with the sifted flour.

Step 6

Step 6
Stir. All the flour will not be absorbed, but that’s how it should be.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour in boiling water and quickly stir the mixture with a spoon. When kneading dough with boiling water, the flour absorbs and retains more moisture. The dough will be very sticky at first, this is normal.

Step 8

Step 8
Start kneading the dough. You need to knead it for quite a long time (about 10-15 minutes) until it stops sticking to your hands. Try not to add flour when kneading, or add just a little bit. A larger amount will clog the dough and it will be tougher in the finished baked goods. Instead of flour, you can add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dough or grease your hands with it.

Step 9

Step 9
A well-kneaded dough has a smooth, even and elastic consistency. If it sticks to your hands too much, you can add a little more vegetable oil (approximately 1-2 tbsp).

Step 10

Step 10
Cover the bowl with the dough with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place for 40-50 minutes (I use the oven for this purpose, turning it on at 50 degrees). During this time, it should increase in volume by about 2-3 times.

Step 11

Step 11
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. How to make the filling for potato pies? Wash and peel the potatoes and onions.

Step 12

Step 12
How to boil potatoes for filling? Place it in cold water and put it on low heat. Salt the water. Wait until it boils, turn down the heat. Cook the potatoes for about 30 minutes; they should be pierced well with a knife.

Step 13

Step 13
Rinse the onion and knife with cold water so that the onion juice does not irritate the eyes so much. Cut it into small cubes.

Step 14

Step 14
Pour vegetable oil with a high smoke point into the pan. Reheat. Lower the wooden spatula, if bubbles have gathered around it, then you can fry the onion until golden.

Step 15

Step 15
Drain the potatoes. Add fried onions. Turn it into puree in any convenient and affordable way. I do this using a regular masher.

Step 16

Step 16
The filling for the pies is ready.

Step 17

Step 17
The dough has probably risen well by this time.

Step 18

Step 18
Dust your work surface with flour. Lay out the dough. Divide it into equal cones (you should get 22-24 pieces).

Step 19

Step 19
Mash each bell with your hands into a flat cake (about 0.5 cm thick). Place a spoonful of filling in the middle.

Step 20

Step 20
Carefully pinch the edges, leaving no gaps.

Step 21

Step 21
Now gently flatten the pie.

Step 22

Step 22
Place the dough on a table sprinkled with flour, seam side down.

Step 23

Step 23
Pour a large amount of vegetable oil (with a high smoke point) into the frying pan. How to check if the oil is hot enough? Lower the wooden spatula. If bubbles gather around, itʼs ready. Lay out the workpieces carefully so as not to get burned. Fry them for literally 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 24

Step 24
Place the finished golden brown pies on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess fat. Bon appetit!
