Potato pie dough

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   We heat the water in an iron dish to a temperature of 40 degrees. Pour it into a bowl for kneading dough, add yeast and sugar, mix the mass with a silicone spatula or whisk until the sugar and yeast dissolve.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add salt and add an egg that can be pre-beaten. Mix until the mass is homogeneous with a fork or whisk.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour in half of the flour, which can be sifted in advance or sift it through a strainer along the way. We begin to knead the dough with a spatula or spoon. A thick mass is formed.

4. Step 4:

   

   Next, pour in the rest of the flour, mix again and already begin to knead the dough with your hands while still in the bowl.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour the melted butter and mix it into the dough.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the dough on the table and knead well so that all the oil is absorbed. I added a little flour twice so that the dough was not sticky. The kneading time is about 8 minutes. We form a ball.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the dough in a deep bowl and cover with cling film. I greased the bowl with the remnants of melted butter, but it can also be greased with vegetable oil or lightly sprinkled with flour. We leave the dough for a maximum of 1 hour in a warm place without drafts. It may take less time to rise - it depends on the yeast and on the room temperature.

9. Step 8:

   

   As soon as the dough fits well and noticeably increases in volume, immediately start baking.
