Balish with potatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook balish with potatoes? First make the dough. Take odorless vegetable oil. Heat the water well. Wheat flour is better to use the highest grade.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve. To do this, take a convenient, wide container so that when sifting flour does not fall on the table.

3. Step 3:

   

   Dissolve salt in warm water, pour in vegetable oil, mix.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour in the sifted flour. Do not add all the flour at once, it may take less. Mix the dough first with a spoon.

5. Step 5:

   

   If the dough is too thin, add a little more flour.

6. Step 6:

   

   Knead the dough with your hands. It turns out soft, elastic, oily. The dough does not stick to your hands at all. Wrap it in a bag or plastic wrap and leave it on the table for 30 minutes. During this time, the gluten will disperse and the dough will become more pliable.

7. Step 7:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Coriander can be taken ground or crushed. When choosing spices and spices, be guided by your taste.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pre-peeled onion cut into small cubes.

9. Step 9:

   

   Wash potatoes with a brush under running water, clean. Cut the vegetable into small cubes.

10. Step 10:

    

    Combine the prepared potatoes and onions, add salt. Add spices, stir.

12. Step 11:

    

    Divide the dough into parts: for the base of the pie, for the top, a little for decoration and a small ball to close the hole in the pie.

13. Step 12:

    

    Roll out the largest part of the dough into a round layer of such a size that it covers the sides of the mold (I have a shape d = 20 cm). With your hands, gently spread the dough over the bottom and walls of the mold. The mold can not be lubricated, since the dough contains a sufficient amount of oil.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put the filling on the dough, smooth it out.

15. Step 14:

    

    Spread the pieces of butter on top.

16. Step 15:

    

    Roll out the smaller part of the dough as well and cover the pie on top. Connect the edges well.

17. Step 16:

    

    In the center of the pie, make a hole for steam to escape.

18. Step 17:

    

    Close the hole with a dough ball. Use the rest of the dough to decorate the cake.

19. Step 18:

    

    Bake the balish in a preheated 180C oven for 20-25 minutes. Then carefully take out the pie, open the hole and pour in the broth to make the filling more juicy. If the pie is already well browned, cover it with foil.

20. Step 19:

    

    Return the pie to the oven and continue cooking until the filling is ready for about 25-30 minutes. Leave the finished pie in the mold for 15 minutes, wrapped in a warm towel, so that the pie crust is slightly limp.

21. Step 20:

    

    Then remove from the mold and serve the hot balish to the table. Bon appetit!
