Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make kulebyaka with meat? Prepare the products, first of all for the test. How to make the dough? Add sugar, salt and dry yeast to warm milk. Stir and leave for 15 minutes. The yeast will have to ferment and rise like a cap.

Step 2

Step 2
Add eggs and melted butter, stir. Read at the end of the recipe for instructions on how to melt the butter. Start gradually mixing in the sifted flour. First stir the mixture with a whisk, then knead with your hands. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria.

Step 3

Step 3
Knead into a homogeneous soft dough. Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. Cover it with a plastic bag or towel and put it in a warm place for an hour and a half, after an hour, knead it and let it rise again.

Step 4

Step 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. How to make the filling? Heat the oil over low heat and fry the finely chopped onion in it. Add minced meat, salt, and seasonings to taste, stir and continue frying. Cook until the liquid evaporates. Then cool the filling to room temperature.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the risen dough on a work surface sprinkled with flour and roll it out into a layer, in the middle of which place the meat filling. Cover it on one side with dough. Cut the other side into strips with a knife to create a pattern.

Step 6

Step 6
Weave the kulebyaka with strips of the cut part, brush the top with beaten egg and place in the oven. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees, then reduce to 160. The kulebyaka will gradually rise as the oven heats up.

Step 7

Step 7
Bake the kulebyaka with meat until browned, 30-40 minutes. Remove the finished kulebyaka from the oven, sprinkle with water, cover with a towel and let sit for a while, cool and become limp. Then you can serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
