Chicken coop on margarine in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a chicken coop on margarine in the oven? Start cooking with the dough. How to make dough? Take the margarine out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Mix eggs, salt, water and margarine. You can do it either with a mixer or with your hands. Then add the sifted flour and soda to the resulting mixture. Knead the dough. If the dough is sticky, add more flour, if too steep — water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Knead the dough until smooth, homogeneous. With the right consistency, it will stop sticking to your hands. Form a ball of dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap or in a plastic bag. And for half an hour, remove the dough to "rest" in the refrigerator. During this time, the flour will absorb all the water, resulting in the development of gluten, which is responsible for elasticity. The test will become easier to work with.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the filling. How to make the filling? Wash the chicken fillet, dry it and cut it into rather small pieces. Wash the potatoes, peel and finely chop them as well. You can grate it on a coarse grater. Peel the onion and cut into cubes. Mix the meat and vegetables. Add salt, spices, dried herbs, use them to taste. Mix it up. The filling is ready.

4. Step 4:

   

   Take the dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two parts. Roll out one piece. You can prepare a round, square or rectangular chicken coop. I bake round. If you want to make the pie perfectly smooth, then cut out a circle using a plate or lid.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cover the baking sheet with baking parchment, put the blank for the bottom of the pie on it. Put the filling on the dough.

7. Step 6:

   

   Roll out the second round of dough and cover the filling with it. Pinch the edges. You can make a pigtail like this.

8. Step 7:

   

   If desired, you can decorate the cake with different figures. To do this, roll out small pieces of dough and make incisions on them with a knife.

9. Step 8:

   

   To make the pie rosy, brush it with a mixture of yolk and water.

10. Step 9:

    

    Bake the pie in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 40-45 minutes. I recommend looking into the oven in half an hour. If the top of the pie gets very browned during this time, then you can cover it with foil. Thus, the filling will continue to cook, and the top will not burn. Remove the finished cake from the oven, cool it a little. I usually cover the pastries with a towel and let them stand for half an hour. Then I serve it on the table. Enjoy your appetite!
