Moldavian vertuta with pumpkin and cabbage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Add 1/2 tsp to the water. salt.

2. STEP 2

   

   Then add apple cider vinegar to the water.

3. STEP 3

   

   And 2 or 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly.

4. STEP 4

   

   We take the sifted flour, make a well in the middle and pour out the water to which we have added salt, vinegar and vegetable oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   After this, carefully knead the stiff dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then form a ball of dough and cover it with a towel for 15 minutes. The gluten will swell and the dough will be more pliable.

7. STEP 7

   

   After the dough has rested, dust the work surface with flour and knead for 2-3 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now we form a flagellum from the dough and cut it into 8 parts, since we will get 8 twirls.

9. STEP 9

   

   I cut by eye as I will then weigh each piece on my home kitchen scale.

10. STEP 10

    

    We form balls from the pieces. One ball should weigh approximately 64-66 grams.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the dough balls on a floured table and cover with a towel for 30 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    The dough became very soft and pliable. First you need to knead the dough a little.

13. STEP 13

    

    Then roll it out with a rolling pin as thin as possible.

14. STEP 14

    

    After this, lubricate the sheet with vegetable oil over the entire surface.

15. STEP 15

    

    Transfer to a plate greased with vegetable oil and do the same with the remaining dough circles.

16. STEP 16

    

    For the sweet filling I use grated pumpkin and added sugar to taste. If desired, you can also add cinnamon and vanilla sugar. For the usual filling we will need stewed cabbage with mushrooms. The cabbage should be salted and pepper to taste. Fry it in a frying pan and add champignon mushrooms while frying.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the sheet of dough on a work surface greased with vegetable oil and stretch it as best as possible, but be careful so that the dough does not tear.

18. STEP 18

    

    Then we bend one edge.

19. STEP 19

    

    And lay out the filling - cabbage with mushrooms.

20. STEP 20

    

    And sweet filling with pumpkin.

21. STEP 21

    

    After this, you need to very carefully and carefully wrap the filling in the dough.

22. STEP 22

    

    You can twist the dough a little and then form the vertuta.

23. STEP 23

    

    It turns out to be a beautiful “shell”.

24. STEP 24

    

    I place all the twirls on a baking sheet, on parchment paper and brush with beaten egg and milk. Bake them for 30 minutes at 190 C and then 10 minutes at 200 C until they are nicely browned on top.

25. STEP 25

    

    Moldavian vertuta with a crispy crust and delicate filling captivates from the first bite! Bon appetit everyone!

26. STEP 26

    

    Moldavian vertuta with a golden brown crust and a delicate filling of cabbage and mushrooms.

27. STEP 27

    

    Delicious Moldavian vertuta with a crispy crust and delicious pumpkin filling.
