Ossetian pie with cottage cheese and herbs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Pour warm milk and water into a bowl. Dissolve sugar in the liquid, add a tablespoon of wheat flour. Stir the mixture, add dry yeast. Stir the mixture until the yeast disperses. Leave the bowl with the yeast mixture in a warm place for 15 minutes. The yeast should be activated and foam should appear on the surface of the mixture. Pour vegetable oil into the mixture, add salt. Mix again.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour sifted wheat flour into the liquid. Add the flour in parts, stirring the mixture well each time so that the flour does not form lumps.

3. STEP 3

   

   When the dough becomes difficult to stir with a spatula, transfer it to a board sprinkled with flour and continue kneading with your hands. Yeast dough loves your hands, so you need to knead it as long as possible. The dough should be elastic and smooth, slightly sticking to your hands. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover the top with a towel and place in a warm place for an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the pie filling. Place cottage cheese in a bowl, add grated cheese, you can use several types of cheese to taste. Wash fresh parsley and dill, dry with paper towels and finely chop with a knife. Place the greens in a bowl with cottage cheese and cheese. Beat in a chicken egg, add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix the mass thoroughly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Divide the finished dough into several parts. We roll each one into a thin flat cake. We put the filling in the center of the flat cake, fasten the edges like a bag, and again roll out the bun with the filling into a flat cake.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the pie in a greased pan. We make a small hole in the center of the cake to allow steam to escape. Grease the cake with melted butter and place it in the oven, heated to 200 degrees, for 20 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Ossetian pie with cottage cheese and herbs is ready. Serve it for tea. Bon appetit!

I baked it and even had to register to leave a review. Sooo good! Tasty! Mom brought a lot of greens, and just in time I came across this recipe. The dough is light, with a crispy crust, and there is a juicy filling inside! I especially like that there is not too much dough in the pie, but at the same time it is airy. Just getting ready. Thanks to the author!

I made such wonderful pies! I didn't make them too big - I decided that it would be better to have more of them. The shape is not quite even and round, but I tried anyway, I couldn’t do better. Thanks for the recipe!
