Ossetian pie with potatoes and suluguni

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare all the products on the table.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift flour into a saucepan and add yeast

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar, salt and milk

4. STEP 4

   

   Knead the dough

5. STEP 5

   

   Add oil

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead the dough well, it should be very thick and sticky.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover with a lid or cling film and leave for 1 hour, during which time the dough should increase in volume, if the result is not satisfactory after the time passed, you can leave for another 30 minutes

8. STEP 8

   

   While our dough is waiting, let’s take care of the potatoes, boil them and mash them like puree, just drain off all the water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add oil, mix well. Important - at this stage the potatoes can be salted if the cheese is not salted. Let cool for 10 minutes

10. STEP 10

    

    Grate the cheese on a medium grater

11. STEP 11

    

    Add cheese to potatoes and mix well

12. STEP 12

    

    Form 3 balls from the filling (for 3 pies, 1 pie - 1 ball)

13. STEP 13

    

    Let's return to the dough, it needs to be kneaded using circular movements of the hand (we saturate it with oxygen).

14. STEP 14

    

    Divide into 3 parts, while we prepare the first pie, the dough for the remaining two is still suitable

15. STEP 15

    

    Sprinkle the cutting surface with flour (I have a round board, it’s very convenient for working with the pie), lay out one portion of the dough, knead the dough, add flour in the process, the dough should stop sticking to your hands.

16. STEP 16

    

    Press down with your hand and form a flat cake like a large pancake (only thick), place one portion of the filling in the center

17. STEP 17

    

    We wrap our flatbread, the dough should not slide over the filling, but there is no need to stretch it either - it will tear

18. STEP 18

    

    We pinch the edges of our “bag with filling” according to the “dumpling” principle, the seam should be smooth and well glued

19. STEP 19

    

    Carefully flatten our bun

20. STEP 20

    

    We form the pie, being careful not to tear it, you can remember how in childhood we made “pancakes” from plasticine, from the center to the edge, if you pull, it will tear.

21. STEP 21

    

    Sprinkle a cast-iron frying pan with flour and transfer our cake into it with both hands.

22. STEP 22

    

    In the mold, you can also flatten the cake (ideal thickness 1 cm), make a hole in the middle for steam to escape, of course not through. Bake the cake in a preheated (to maximum) oven until golden brown.

23. STEP 23

    

    Take out and grease the pie with butter.

24. STEP 24

    

    The first one is ready, bake 2 more and eat to your health!

Ossetian pies are very tasty and there are many recipes for making them. This recipe is good for those who don’t like fatty pies because it is baked in the oven. Moreover, there is a choice of what to use for dough: milk or kefir, yogurt. no matter what product you use, the dough will be soft and pliable, unless of course the yeast is good. You can take dry yeast or in cubes, the main thing is that it is fresh and smells like yeast. I think any cheese will do, the main thing is that it is hard and always fresh. Bon Appetit everyone.

Juliana, what a soft, delicate delicacy! With potatoes... maybe you can change the fillings? Did I understand correctly - when these three pies are cooked, they need to be stacked on top of each other? Thank you very much for the recipe!
