Ossetian pie with potatoes and cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake an Ossetian pie with potatoes and cheese in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Let's start by preparing the yeast dough. We will knead the dough with milk to make it especially soft and manageable. Pour a glass of warm milk into a bowl. Add sugar and a tablespoon of wheat flour, stir until the mixture is homogeneous in consistency. Add dry yeast, stir again and leave the mixture for 15 minutes in a warm place.

2. STEP 2

   

   A yeast foam should form on the surface of the mixture, which means the yeast has been activated, everything is done correctly. If this does not happen, then you need to use other yeast; baking will not work with this. Add salt to the bowl with the yeast mixture and pour in the vegetable oil. Stir. Add sifted wheat flour in parts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Stir the dough with a spoon, then turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead an elastic dough that slightly sticks to your palms. Place it in a bowl, cover it with cling film on top and place in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours to rise.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the dough is resting, let's make the pie filling.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the potatoes with a brush in running water, peel and cut into several large pieces. Place all the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Put it on fire. Add a pinch of salt. Boil the potatoes until done. Drain off some of the water in which the potatoes were boiled. Make mashed potatoes using a potato masher and add butter. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grind the cheese with a knife or grate it on a coarse grater and place it in a bowl with mashed potatoes, stir, you can add a little fresh finely chopped dill and parsley for flavor. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste and stir. The filling is ready. If desired, you can add other types of cheese, for example, any hard cheese, it will make the filling even more aromatic and tastier.

7. STEP 7

   

   Punch down the dough and begin to form the pie. Divide the dough into several parts depending on the size of the mold and the desired number of pies. Roll out part of the dough into a thin flat cake. Place the filling in the center. Seal the edges of the flatbread to form a bun. Again, carefully, so as not to tear the dough, roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin cake.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the pie blank in a greased pan, or you can line it with baking paper. Make a hole in the center for steam to escape. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 25 minutes. Time and temperature are approximate; determine the exact baking time and temperature based on the operating characteristics of your oven.

9. STEP 9

   

   Brush the finished Ossetian yeast pie with potatoes and cheese with melted butter. Serve the pie to the table. Bon appetit!

Wonderful airy dough! To prevent it from sticking to your hands, I often dusted the surface with flour, so it took a little more than in the recipe. An interesting filling - I tried the combination of boiled potatoes and cheese for the first time, and replaced the cheese in the filling with the same amount of cheese and a large pinch of salt. The recipe for Ossetian pie with potatoes and cheese is excellent, I recommend it!

We often cook according to your recipe. Little kids eat the whole pie! It's very, very easy to prepare. I take any cheese I can find - it’s also very tasty with Russian cheese.
