Fresh cabbage pies

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products. Take an average cabbage, there will be a lot of big ones.

2. Step 2:

   

   The water needs to be warmed up a little so that it is pleasantly warm, by no means hot! Hot water will kill the yeast. Pour half a tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon of flour into the water, stir, cover with a towel and leave for a while, five minutes is enough.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the yeast comes to life, melt the butter. We do it on a tiny fire.

4. Step 4:

   

   This is the cap that has risen over time. Yeast revived and activated.

5. Step 5:

   

   We heat the milk again to a warm state, pleasant to the touch. Add the remaining half a spoonful of sugar, half a teaspoon of salt and stir well, trying to dissolve them as much as possible.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour the milk to the yeast, stir.

7. Step 7:

   

   Sift flour. We begin to knead the dough, gradually adding flour. I used a mixer, you can do it with your hands, just kneading then will take longer. The mass turns out to be quite dense. We leave it for half an hour.

8. Step 8:

   

   Now we introduce butter. We continue kneading. The dough will become softer and noticeably more elastic.

9. Step 9:

   

   Our goal is to ensure that the dough begins to lag behind the walls of the dishes. With the mixer, it happened pretty quickly.

10. Step 10:

    

    Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and send it to a warm place without drafts. I usually put it in the oven turned off. We leave it for an hour.

12. Step 11:

    

    It's time to do the stuffing. We tear off the upper leaves from the cabbage, cut the forks in half and rub on a coarse grater.

13. Step 12:

    

    Salt to taste and thoroughly jam with your hands so that the cabbage becomes juicy.

14. Step 13:

    

    After an hour, our dough should rise well.

15. Step 14:

    

    We dump the dough on the table, sprinkled with flour, slightly crush and divide into 12 equal parts. From each part we sculpt a ball.

16. Step 15:

    

    Roll out the ball into a thin cake.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put a good portion of the filling.

18. Step 17:

    

    We make a pie by pinching the edges of the mug.

19. Step 18:

    

    For beauty, I turn the pie over and make a false neat seam.

20. Step 19:

    

    The baking sheet should be greased with a small amount of vegetable oil, or, like me, covered with baking paper. We spread our pies at a distance from each other. Leave for half an hour to let the dough rest and rise again.

21. Step 20:

    

    Before baking the pies, they can be smeared with beaten egg. Bake the pies in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for about half an hour.
