Chechil cheese pie

To make a pie with chechil cheese, you first need to do the dough. The amount of dough is calculated for a shape with a diameter of 25 cm (if your shape is smaller, you will need less dough and vice versa). The dough can be kneaded in a bread maker or by hand. In both cases, the sequence of actions is identical.

In the bowl of a bread maker or a bowl, prepare a sourdough: pour the warmed milk, add yeast and half the sugar, mix well. Wait until the sponge starts to foam (about 15-20 minutes). While the sourdough is suitable, you can do dry ingredients: sift the flour, add the rest of the sugar and salt to it. If you cook the dough in a bread maker, melted butter will be enough for you, and if by hand, melt it in the microwave or over low heat.

Add butter and dry ingredients to the finished dough (dry ingredients are added to the bowl of the bread maker immediately, with manual kneading - gradually). The bread maker itself will knead and adjust the duration of the "aging" of the dough - to do this, select the "Dough" mode. Put the dough mixed by hand in a deep bowl, cover with a towel and put it in a warm place so that it increases 2-3 times. Divide the dough that has come up into 7 parts, form balls from them and send them back to the bowl, which is tightened with cling film. The dough should stand for another 12-17 minutes.

While the dough is resting, thinly slice the bacon and prepare the cheese. Roll out a circle from each ball of dough, bend the upper and lower parts to the middle. Roll out the resulting rectangle with a small rolling pin so that it is slightly larger than the bacon slices. Cut one edge of the resulting rectangle in such a way that you get an improvised "fringe" - the width of the strips is 7-10 mm. Place the bacon in the middle of the dough so that the edges remain free, put the cheese on one side and roll the dough with the filling into a roll, fix the edge. Thus, a flower is obtained. Repeat these steps with all the other dough balls.

Lubricate the mold with vegetable oil and place all seven flower rolls on it. Cover the pie with a film and leave it to come up for another 15-20 minutes, until it increases in size by 2 times and takes up almost the entire space of the mold.
While the pie is coming, preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees. Bake the pie for about 40-50 minutes, and if the top starts to turn very red, just cover it with foil.

Serve the pie slightly cooled, having previously divided into separate flowers.

Enjoy your meal!
