Chebureks with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry chebureki with cheese? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to make dough for pasties with cheese in a frying pan? Take a deep bowl, break an egg into it, add salt and whisk until smooth. Before using, wash the egg in running water and soda, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour water into the bowl and stir again with a whisk.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve or using a special mug and add to the eggs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead soft elastic dough. Start kneading the dough with a spoon, and when it becomes uncomfortable, continue with your hands. You may need less or more flour, since different manufacturers have different properties. Knead the dough for at least 7 minutes until it stops sticking to your hands. Gather the finished dough for homemade pasties with cheese into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with cling film or a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   How to make filling for chebureks? For this we need cheese. This can be any hard cheese (Russian, Dutch, Maasdam, and you can also use unbrined mozzarella for pizza). Choose high-quality cheese without added vegetable fats.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

8. STEP 8

   

   Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces slightly larger than a walnut. Roll each piece into balls.

9. STEP 9

   

   Roll each ball of dough into a not too thin oval. In this case, you need to make sure that the table and rolling pin are well dusted with flour, otherwise the dough may tear.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the cheese filling on the bottom half of the dough, leaving 1 cm from the edge.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cover the filling with the other half of the dough, forming a semicircle. Secure the edges of the cheburek with a fork, running the cloves along the entire connecting edge. The size of the pasty should be no larger than the diameter of the frying pan in which it will be fried. The first cheburek I made was large, so the edges were slightly bent. But I rolled out the next chebureks smaller.

12. STEP 12

    

    Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan, add and fry the pasties in it on both sides over medium heat until golden brown.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the finished pasties on a paper towel to remove excess fat and serve immediately while they are hot. Bon appetit!

It’s a discovery for me that chebureks can be made not only with meat, but with cheese and even potatoes.

The dough is quickly made, wait only 10 minutes, during which time you grate the cheese. Yes, and fry quickly. I love baked goods with cheese, and when I saw this recipe, I was sure that I would like pasties with cheese. I fried it until golden brown, it turned out to be such a soft golden color, soft, and most importantly delicious. I’m trying it for the first time and I really liked the pasties with cheese. In this recipe, I especially liked using a fork to seal the edges; I had never seen this before, but I used my fingers to seal them, but sometimes the edges came apart, but the fork held them together very well. And I like my pasties. Thank you!
