Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake meat and potato pies in the oven? Measure out the required ingredients for the dough. Take unscented vegetable oil. Warm the milk and water slightly. Do not use cold liquids to prepare yeast dough. This will slow down the rise process.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift the flour into a wide bowl with high sides. It will be enriched with oxygen, and the dough will rise easily. And the pies will turn out fluffy and porous.

Step 3

Step 3
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tsp in warm water. Sahara. Mix well and leave for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast. A fluffy “cap” will appear on the surface of the mixture. This means that the yeast is active, which guarantees successful baking.

Step 4

Step 4
To prepare the dough, choose a large, spacious container in which the dough will have enough room to rise. Whisk the egg with salt and sugar until smooth.

Step 5

Step 5
Add activated yeast, stir.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour in warm milk, stir lightly.

Step 7

Step 7
Add vegetable oil, stir again.

Step 8

Step 8
Add about 3/4 of the sifted flour. Do not pour out all the flour; you may need less than the specified amount. This depends on its properties, as well as on the size of the egg and the viscosity of the milk.

Step 9

Step 9
Mix everything first with a spoon. Add the rest of the flour in small portions, while mixing the dough with your hands.

Step 10

Step 10
The dough turns out soft, pliable, slightly sticky to your hands. You donʼt need to add too much flour to prevent the dough from being too tough. Otherwise it will be difficult and take a long time to rise. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film or a towel and leave in a warm place to rise.

Step 11

Step 11
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. You can use any minced meat. I have a mixed one (pork, beef).

Step 12

Step 12
Cut the pre-peeled potatoes into smaller pieces and add water to the pan. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender.

Step 13

Step 13
Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Cool.

Cut the peeled onions into small cubes.

Step 15

Step 15
In a frying pan, fry the onion in vegetable oil until half cooked.

Step 16

Step 16
Place the minced meat in the pan with the onions, stir.

Step 17

Step 17
Fry the minced meat over medium heat, stirring and kneading the meat lumps, add salt. You can add any spices to your taste. Let the finished minced meat cool.

Step 18

Step 18
Combine the fried minced meat and mashed potatoes and mix well. The filling is ready.

Step 19

Step 19
The dough rose well in about 70-80 minutes. Bubbles appearing on the surface of the dough indicate its readiness for cutting.

Step 20

Step 20
Gently knead the dough and place it on a table sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into equal parts, roll each part into a log. Cover the dough balls with a towel to prevent them from becoming crusty while forming the pies.

Step 21

Step 21
Mash each piece of dough into a round cake. You can roll out the dough with a rolling pin.

Step 22

Step 22
Place the filling in the middle of the flatbread.

Step 23

Step 23
Raise the edges of the dough and mold the pie into the desired shape. Join the seam well. Make the rest of the pies in this way.

Step 24

Step 24
To grease the top of the pies, stir the yolk with sour cream until smooth.

Step 25

Step 25
Place the formed pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rest for about 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the pies with the yolk mixture.

Step 26

Step 26
Bake the pies in an oven preheated to 180C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Since everyoneʼs oven is different, the baking mode and time may be different. Focus on the operating features of your oven.

Step 27

Step 27
Serve the meat and potato pies warm. Bon appetit!
