Meat and potato pies in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake meat and potato pies in the oven? Measure out the necessary ingredients for the dough. Take odorless vegetable oil. Heat the milk and water slightly. Do not use cold liquids to prepare yeast dough. This will slow down the process of its rise.

   In a small bowl, dilute yeast and 1 tsp sugar in warm water. Mix well and leave for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast. A lush "cap" will appear on the surface of the mixture. This means that yeast is active, which is a guarantee of successful baking.
