Capelin pie

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the dough. We will prepare yeast dough on sourdough, so we will do it first. But if the fish is frozen, then you need to take it out for defrosting. The yeast dough on the sponge will be very soft and tender, which will make the fish pie more delicious. Pour milk diluted with hot water in equal parts into a bowl. Add sugar and a tablespoon of flour, a teaspoon of yeast to the liquid.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix everything well. We put a bowl of sourdough in a warm place for 20 minutes. During this time, a "cap" should appear on the surface of the mixture, which means that the sponge is ready. We continue to knead the dough.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a large bowl, beat the egg with salt, pour in the sourdough, vegetable oil, mix.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour in the sifted flour, do it in small parts. To mix the dough well. First, stir with a spoon, when the dough becomes quite tight, spread it on a floured surface and continue kneading, adding flour. Add as much flour as the dough will take.

5. Step 5:

   

   When it becomes elastic and stops sticking to your hands, put it back in the bowl, cover it with cling film and put it in a warm place. You can put it in the oven preheated to 50 degrees for 40 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   When the dough rises, we crumple it and let it rise again. The dough is ready for baking.

8. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is coming, let's do the filling. We gut the thawed capelin, remove the heads, fins and tails, rinse well under running water. Bones do not need to be removed.

9. Step 8:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into half rings. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Put the onion on it and fry until soft.

10. Step 9:

    

    Then we spread the fish in rows to the onion. Fry it until the meat turns white on one side, then carefully turn it over so as not to crumple the fish. Remove the fish from the fire, let it cool down a little.

11. Step 10:

    

    We form a pie from the dough. We put it on a podmuchnennuyu surface, divide the dough ball into two parts, one slightly larger than the other. We roll out each of the dough parts into a thin layer. The circle of dough, which is larger, is laid out in a greased form, making sides from the edges of the dough. Let the pie crusts stand in a warm place for about 20 minutes. They will rise noticeably.

12. Step 11:

    

    We spread the fish and onions on the dough.

13. Step 12:

    

    Close the filling with the second layer of dough, pinching the edges and pricking the top with a fork so that steam comes out during baking. You can lubricate the pie with milk on top or do not lubricate it with anything, it will turn out ruddy in any case. Preheat the oven to 180 minutes. Bake the pie for about 30 minutes, until golden. Served with tea. Have a nice tea party!
