Meat pies fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake minced meat pies in a frying pan? Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. Let's start with the test. Yeast dough will be made in a safe, faster way, unlike the classic way. Pour boiled water heated to 36 degrees into a deep bowl. Add sugar, a tablespoon of flour and a teaspoon of dry instant yeast to a bowl of water. Mix the ingredients so that the mixture becomes homogeneous.

2. Step 2:

   

   Leave the yeast mixture in a warm place for 15 minutes, do not cover the bowl with anything. After the specified time, foam and bubbles should form on the surface of the mixture, which means that the yeast has been activated, everything has been done correctly. In a bowl with yeast mixture, add salt and pour vegetable oil, mix.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wheat flour is sifted to remove foreign objects and saturate the product with oxygen, which will make the dough more airy, and the products made from it soft and lush. Pour wheat flour into a bowl with liquid, add flour in small portions, each time mixing the mixture with a spoon. When the dough becomes difficult to mix with a spoon, spread it on the work surface, sprinkled with flour, and continue kneading with your hands.

4. Step 4:

   

   The dough should gather into a ball, stop remaining on the palms, become elastic and obedient. Put the dough back in the bowl, cover the bowl with a towel or cling film and put it in a warm place. In winter, a bowl of dough can be put in a battery for 1.5-2 hours, but at a distance so that the dough does not boil in it from too high a temperature. In summer, a bowl of dough can be put in the oven, heated to 35-40 degrees, for an hour and a half.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the dough is standing, we will prepare minced meat for pies. Minced meat can be used ready-made or wrapped in a meat grinder from fresh meat. Minced meat can be used from any meat, poultry meat will turn out to be less caloric, but mixed pork and beef meat will make the filling tastier and juicier. Add finely chopped onion, salt, ground black pepper to taste, a little cold water to the bowl with minced meat, mix until smooth.

7. Step 6:

   

   When the dough rises, we crumble it and you can immediately proceed to the preparation of pies. The dough is divided into 12-15 parts, depending on the desired size of the pies. We roll the dough pieces into balls, knead them into flat cakes with our hands.

8. Step 7:

   

   Roll them out into small tortillas, put a little meat filling in the center of each tortilla, fasten the edges.

9. Step 8:

   

   Form the pies, spread them on a floured surface.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour vegetable oil into the pan, heat it well. Fry the pies in oil on both sides for 3-4 minutes until browned. To make the filling well fried inside, cover the pan with a lid and keep the pies in the pan for another couple of minutes. The pies are ready, bon appetit!
