Belyashi are national Tatar pies made of yeast dough and, as a rule, with meat filling. Belyashi differ from the classic meat pies in yeast dough not only in the way of molding, but also in taste. Housewives in the homeland of these pies like to add potatoes and mutton fat to the meat in the filling, they make the filling more tender and juicy. But it's a matter of taste. The recipe for belyash, which has undergone various kinds of changes, has spread all over the world. And in Russia, belyashi is now no less popular than other pastries.

Important! Using dry yeast, it should be borne in mind that they occur in two forms: active and instant (read the instructions carefully before use!). 
Active dry yeast looks like beads or small balls. Before applying them, they must be brought out of "sleep mode". To do this, the active yeast is diluted in warm sweet water, milk or whey. The formed bubbles, foam or "cap" indicate that the yeast is ready for further use. Active dry yeast must be brought to complete dissolution in the liquid, otherwise, due to the remaining grains, the dough may not rise and the baking will be spoiled (yeast grains that have not dissolved in the liquid and got into the dough will not disperse on their own, which means they will not work).
Instant dry yeast is easier to use. They do not need to be activated before use. Such yeast, along with other ingredients, is simply added to the dough. As a result, the baking time is reduced. 
It should also be remembered that both types of dry yeast may differ in their activity from different manufacturers.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
