Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 50 min

Step 1:
Prepare all the necessary products for making a cauliflower filling pie. Take eggs from 0, flour of the highest grade, spices and herbs of any kind to your taste, refined oil. Any hard cheese that melts well will do. Remove the eggs and sour cream from the refrigerator in advance. They should be at room temperature to make the dough more successful. Cauliflower is better fresh, but frozen is also suitable. There is no need to defrost in advance.
Step 2:
Immediately turn on the oven to warm up to 200 ° C, since preparing the filling and kneading the dough does not take much time. From fresh cabbage, the taste of the filling turns out to be softer. Divide the cabbage into inflorescences, rinse. Boil water in a saucepan, so much so that the cabbage fits freely in it. Add a pinch of salt. Boil the cauliflower: for 3 minutes if fresh, for 5 if frozen.
Step 3:
Leave to drain in a colander so that there is not much liquid left in the cabbage.
Step 4:
To knead the dough, take a deep bowl, it is convenient to mix the ingredients in it. Wash the eggs with soap. Whisk them with salt and spices. Be sure to read the composition of the seasoning if you take the finished mixture. It may contain salt. Keep this in mind so as not to over-salt the dough and spoil the pie.
Step 5:
Add sour cream and baking powder. Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 6:
Sift the flour in order to saturate it with oxygen for airiness and eliminate the ingress of small debris into the dough. The consistency of the dough depends on the properties of the products from which the dough is kneaded. After all, even flour of the same grade, but from different manufacturers, may have different properties. Therefore, add flour to the dough in small portions to achieve the desired consistency. It should turn out like a very thick sour cream.
Step 7:
Take a baking dish. I have a frying pan with a diameter of 18 cm. Lubricate the bottom and walls with vegetable oil. Arrange the cauliflower inflorescences. If you want, chop them up. Then the top of the pie will be more even. I didn't grind it.
Step 8:
Pour the cabbage evenly with the dough.
Step 9:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater so that it melts evenly during baking and does not spread. Sprinkle them on the pie. Bake the pie on the middle shelf of the oven at a temperature of 200 ° C on the top + bottom mode for 20-30 minutes. Since the ovens and the baking dish are all different, the baking time may vary. After 15 minutes, check the readiness of the pie. It should rise a little and brown on top. With careful pressing on the dough, the pie should not "walk".

Serve the aspic pie with cauliflower hot or warm, garnished with herbs to your liking. But the pie is also good in cold.
The pie tastes unusually tender.
In the process of cooking, I laid out the inflorescences in a form dense to the walls. And since the cabbage is cooked faster than the dough is baked, I almost burned it. Keep this in mind when you cook such a pie.

--------------------
Be prepared for the fact that flour may require a little more or, conversely, less than indicated in the recipe. You need to focus on how the dough should turn out (dense, soft, liquid, etc.). There is a lot of useful information about why flour, even of the same variety, can have completely different properties, read this article .

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish turn out successfully, use useful information in the article about ovens here .
