Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Total time: 55 minutes Number of servings: 8 pies Ingredients for the dough: - 250 ml warm milk - 50 g sugar - 1 egg - 50 ml vegetable oil - 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g) - 1.5 cups of flour (approximately 200 g) - a pinch of salt Ingredients for the filling: - 400 g minced meat (pork, beef, or chicken, depending on preference) - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - 1 carrot, grated - 2 cloves of garlic, crushed - salt and pepper to taste - 1 tablespoon of oil for frying Preparation steps: Step 1: Preparing the dough Start by warming the milk in a small container until it is warm but not hot. Add the sugar and dry yeast, stirring gently. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until it starts to bubble. This is an important step, as the activated yeast will help the pies become fluffy. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the milk mixture, egg, and oil. Mix all the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous dough. If it is too sticky, you can gradually add a little flour until you achieve the desired consistency. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a warm place. Step 2: Preparing the filling While the dough is rising, you can prepare the filling. In a pan, add the oil and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Add the minced meat and cook until browned. Add the grated carrot and crushed garlic, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let the filling cool. Step 3: Forming the pies Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a circle about 10 cm in diameter. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle and fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges well to prevent leaking. Step 4: Baking the pies Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them. You can brush the pies with a beaten egg for a golden and shiny crust. Bake the pies for 25 minutes or until they turn golden. Step 5: Serving and variations Once the pies have cooled slightly, they are ready to be enjoyed! These Russian meat pies are delicious served warm, but can also be eaten at room temperature. A serving suggestion would be to accompany them with sour cream or spicy tomato sauce. Possible variations: You can experiment with various fillings, such as mushrooms, cheese, or vegetables, to create vegetarian pies. You can also add spices like paprika or herbs for an extra flavor boost. This Russian meat pie recipe will not only satisfy your hunger but will also bring a touch of tradition to your kitchen. Dare to try this simple and quick recipe and enjoy the delicious results!
