Homemade saburani with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Required Ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare eggs, warm water, vegetable oil, salt and a pinch of soda

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything well

4. STEP 4

   

   Add flour and knead the dough - in our case it is better to add it all at once and mix quickly, this will make the dough easier to knead

5. STEP 5

   

   We get a fairly stiff dough (I would say a little steeper than dumplings, but softer than noodles)

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the dough and leave for 1 hour, this will make it more elastic and easier to work with.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then divide the dough into 6 unequal parts

8. STEP 8

   

   We roll out each part, but not too thin so that it does not tear, and not too thick so that it is not tough.

9. STEP 9

   

   Each layer of dough should be much larger than the mold and if we put it inside, the edges should hang down a little

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the dough layer in boiling water for 30 seconds, starting with the smallest one.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then carefully transfer it to ice water.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place on a towel to remove excess moisture.

13. STEP 13

    

    After all the sheets are boiled, you can start filling

14. STEP 14

    

    Now melt the butter for the filling.

15. STEP 15

    

    Trem hard cheese

16. STEP 16

    

    Three suluguni (or disassemble into fibers - as it turns out)

17. STEP 17

    

    Add soft curd cheese to the filling (either feta cheese or Adyghe cheese - your choice). We mash it with a fork, or crumble it, I intentionally left quite large pieces of this cheese

18. STEP 18

    

    Mix the filling

19. STEP 19

    

    Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil (mine is 30x13x5.5 cm)

20. STEP 20

    

    Place the largest layer of dough on the bottom of the mold and a little filling on top. This pie can also be cooked on a baking sheet - then put the smallest layer on the bottom and then, in ascending order, fold the edges down

21. STEP 21

    

    Drizzle with melted butter

22. STEP 22

    

    Next we alternate in the same sequence until the smallest layer

23. STEP 23

    

    Fold the edges up and pour butter over the top.

24. STEP 24

    

    Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until light golden brown.

25. STEP 25

    

    We cut it and try it - the pie is very tender and filling, it’s quite an independent dish

26. STEP 26

    

    Bon appetit!
