Chebureks with cheese

Forgive me CHEBURECHNIKI, I'M DRAINING THE RECIPE! Juicy CHEBUREKS. Since childhood, I love chebureks with cheese. Mom never cooked them, but we had a tradition every weekend after visiting the shops to buy chebureks with cheese in a stall in the city center. I still remember the taste of that wonderful pastry.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Dough. To prepare the dough for chebureks, we will need: flour; clean drinking water; egg and salt.
Step 2:
Break the egg into a deep bowl. Add salt. Beat with a whisk until smooth.
Step 3:
Pour in the water and mix again.
Step 4:
Sift flour and add to eggs.
Step 5:
Knead a soft elastic dough, adding flour if necessary. Knead for at least 7 minutes until the dough stops sticking to your hands. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6:
Filling. For the filling in the chubureki, we will need cheese. It can be any hard cheese (Russian, Dutch, Maasdam, and you can also use non-salted mozzarella for pizza).
Step 7:
Grate cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 8:
Divide the dough into 6 identical pieces. Roll balls out of each piece.
Step 9:
Roll out each ball into a not too thin oval. At the same time, you need to make sure that the table and rolling pin are well dusted with flour, otherwise the dough may break.
Step 10:
Put the cheese filling on the lower half of the dough, stepping back from the edge of 1 cm.
Step 11:
Cover the filling with the second half of the dough, forming a semicircle. The edges of the cheburek are fastened with a fork. The size of the cheburek should not be larger than the diameter of the frying pan in which it will be fried. The first cheburek I had was big, so the edges bent a little. But the next pasties I rolled out smaller.
Step 12:
Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry the chebureks on both sides until golden brown.
Step 13:
Put the ready-made pasties on a paper towel to remove excess fat and immediately serve them to the table while they are hot. Enjoy your meal!

The main thing here is to prepare the dough correctly. At first, during kneading, it sticks strongly to the hands. And here it is important not to succumb to the temptation to add more flour to get rid of stickiness. We need to keep kneading. And if you add flour, then a little. Or even better, just put your palms in a bowl of flour and knead the dough further.
Because in chebureks the dough should be soft. If you overdo it with flour, the dough will become tight and harden during frying.
If it is possible to use kitchen appliances for kneading, for example, a kitchen machine with a hook attachment, then it is better to use it. She will knead the dough well and may not have to resort to additional flour. You also need to knead in the car for about 7 minutes.
And you can add chopped greens to the filling.
