Pies in the oven with cabbage and egg

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake pies with cabbage and egg? Start by making dough for pies. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take flour of the highest grade, any refined oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Some yeast must be activated by dissolving in a warm liquid, others can be immediately added to flour. For the preparation of the dough, those that need to be activated beforehand will be suitable. Heat the water to a temperature of 37-40 degrees. Dissolve the sugar in it and add yeast. If there is no cooking thermometer, determine the temperature in the following way: drop a drop of water on the inside of your wrist. If the feeling is neutral, then the temperature is correct.

3. Step 3:

   

   At a low temperature, the yeast will work slower and it will take longer to cook. At elevated temperatures, the yeast will die and the dough will not rise. When a lush cap appeared on the surface, the yeast became active and you can work with them.

4. Step 4:

   

   Preheat the kefir to a temperature of 37-40 degrees. Mix kefir, salt and 2/3 vegetable oil. The remaining oil is useful for greasing hands and bowls (step 7). Stir well until the salt dissolves.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift the flour. This is necessary to remove small debris, if there is one, and saturate the dough with oxygen so that it rises well.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add half of the flour to the liquid part of the dough and start stirring with a spoon. The properties of flour of the same grade, but different manufacturers may differ. Therefore, to get the desired consistency, add the remaining flour in small portions. When it becomes inconvenient to knead with a spoon, start doing it with your hands.

7. Step 7:

   

   Knead the dough thoroughly. It should be soft, very tender and slightly stick to your hands. If you are in doubt whether to add more flour or not, do not add it. Lubricate the bowl and hands with vegetable oil. Form a ball from the dough, cover the bowl with cling film or a towel so that it does not dry and rises well. Leave in a warm place for about 2 hours. The time depends on the properties of the yeast and the conditions in which the dough will be located.

8. Step 8:

   

   Prepare the filling. Cabbage is suitable for white cabbage, carrots and onions are medium-sized. Take refined sunflower oil. Wash the eggs with soap and cook 4 pieces in a steep. To do this, pour them with cold water and cook for 18-20 minutes after boiling over medium heat. To clean the boiled eggs well, fill them with cold water. Cool completely.

9. Step 9:

   

   Peel and rinse the onion and carrot. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Cut the onion into small cubes. In this form, the vegetables will fry faster and give the filling a beautiful shade.

10. Step 10:

    

    Peel the cabbage from the flaccid leaves, rinse well and dry, putting it on a towel or paper towels. Finely chop with a knife or a food processor.

12. Step 11:

    

    Heat a frying pan, carefully, so as not to get burned, pour vegetable oil on it. Fry the onion and carrot simultaneously over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add the chopped cabbage, stir and simmer for 10-15 minutes over medium heat. The vegetables must be brought to half-readiness, that is, the cabbage will become softer, but will remain slightly crispy. The cooking time depends on the properties of the cabbage.

14. Step 13:

    

    Chop the peeled eggs with a knife. This cutting of eggs will make the filling more homogeneous. Wash the green onions, dry them and also chop them. Mix stewed vegetables, eggs and green onions. Add salt and pepper to the filling, mix. Fill the pies only when the filling cools down, otherwise you can spoil the dough.

15. Step 14:

    

    When the dough has increased 1.5-2 times in volume, it is ready and you can start working with it.

16. Step 15:

    

    Divide the dough into 18 equal parts. Roll them into balls. Place on a horizontal work surface, sprinkled with flour.

17. Step 16:

    

    Form the pies. Make pies by greasing your hands with butter or sprinkling with flour. Roll out the dough into a round layer with a diameter of 6-7 cm . Put the filling in the middle.

18. Step 17:

    

    Visually divide the dough into 3 sectors. Lift the two sectors first, pinch the dough at the edge and continue to gently pinch the dough.

19. Step 18:

    

    Lift the third edge of the dough and pinch.

20. Step 19:

    

    Spread the pies seam down on a greased baking sheet at a distance from each other. The baking sheet can be covered with parchment. If the parchment is not non-stick, grease it with oil so that the pies do not stick to the surface. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

21. Step 20:

    

    Whisk sour cream with egg. Brush the pies with egg-sour cream mixture, sprinkle with sesame seeds and send them to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes on the top-bottom mode. The finished pies will increase in volume and acquire a golden color.
