Cooking tips
- The most suitable temperature for yeast fermentation is 30 degrees. Even slightly cool water slows down the growth of yeast. Hot water will completely stop their rise
- Cover the bowl with the dough with a cotton towel and put it in a warm place.
- After forming the pies, they need to be left to rise on the table for 5-7 minutes.
- If we deep-fry pies, add a piece of carrot in advance to give it a beautiful color.
- To give the pies a glossy surface, brush them with beaten egg.
- Before stewing the cabbage for the filling, it is better to keep it in boiling water for a while or put it in a pan and heat it to a temperature of 40-45 degrees. Then remove, squeeze and simmer. This way you will get rid of the pungent smell, and the cabbage will become soft and juicy.

How to bake meat pies from yeast dough in the oven
While the filling was being prepared, the dough had already been kneaded once, and it rose again. So, it's time to start making pies. I cut the dough the way my mother-in-law taught me. I think it’s very convenient and all the baked goods come out the same size.
I put the risen dough out of the bowl onto the work surface; it turned out soft, airy, and alive. I level it into a layer 2-3 cm thick.
Then, using a thin glass, I cut out circles in the dough.
I roll out the dough circles with a rolling pin to about 1 cm thick or stretch them to the desired size with my hands.
Place a tablespoon of filling on each circle of dough.
I bring the edges of the dough together and pinch them well so that the filling does not fall out of the pie.
Place the prepared semi-finished products on a slightly warmed baking sheet in the oven, seam side down. Pre-grease the baking tray with oil.
Now special silicone mats have appeared on sale; they cover a baking sheet with them; in this case, it does not need to be greased with oil. Baking on such mats does not stick to the baking sheet and does not burn, which is very convenient. And the baking sheet itself remains clean.
Leave the semi-finished products with filling in a warm place for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, turn on the oven to preheat. Before putting the pies in the oven, for a more appetizing look, brush the tops with beaten egg yolk.
The pies are baked at a temperature of 200-220ºC for 15-20 minutes, it all depends on your oven. When ready, they should be moderately rosy and elastic.
