Pie with capelin

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the dough. We will prepare the dough using yeast dough, so let’s deal with that first. But if the fish is frozen, then you need to take it out to defrost. The yeast dough on the dough will be very soft and tender, which will make the fish pie more tasty. Pour milk diluted with hot water in equal parts into a bowl. Add sugar and a tablespoon of flour, a teaspoon of yeast to the liquid.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix everything well. Place the bowl with the dough in a warm place for 20 minutes. During this time, a “cap” should appear on the surface of the mixture, which means the dough is ready. We continue to knead the dough.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a large bowl, beat the egg and salt, pour in the dough, vegetable oil, mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the sifted flour, doing this in small parts. So that the dough is well mixed. First, stir with a spoon; when the dough becomes quite stiff, place it on a surface sprinkled with flour and continue kneading, adding flour. Add as much flour as the dough takes.

5. STEP 5

   

   When it becomes elastic and stops sticking to your hands, put it back in the bowl, cover it with cling film and put it in a warm place. You can put it in the oven preheated to 50 degrees for 40 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the dough has risen, knead it and let it rise again. The dough is ready for baking.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the dough is rising, let's make the filling. We gut the thawed capelin, remove the heads, fins and tails, and rinse well under running water. There is no need to remove the bones.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the onions and cut them into half rings. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place onion on it and fry until soft.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then place the fish in rows with the onions. Fry it until the meat turns white on one side, then carefully turn it over so as not to crush the fish. Remove the fish from the heat and let it cool slightly.

10. STEP 10

    

    We form a pie from the dough. Place it on a floured surface and divide the ball of dough into two parts, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out each piece of dough into a thin layer. Place the larger circle of dough in a greased pan, making edges from the edges of the dough. Let the pie crusts sit in a warm place for about 20 minutes. They will rise noticeably.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place fish and onions on the dough.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover the filling with a second layer of dough, pinching the edges and pricking the top with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. You can grease the top of the pie with milk or not grease it with anything, it will turn out golden brown in any case. Preheat the oven for up to 180 minutes. Bake the pie for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with tea. Enjoy your tea!
