Pies with meat and potatoes in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake meat and potato pies in the oven? Measure out the required ingredients for the dough. Take odorless vegetable oil. Warm the milk and water slightly. Do not use cold liquids to prepare yeast dough. This will slow down the rise process.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a wide bowl with high sides. It will be enriched with oxygen, and the dough will rise easily. And the pies will turn out fluffy and porous.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tsp in warm water. Sahara. Mix well and leave for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast. A fluffy “cap” will appear on the surface of the mixture. This means that the yeast is active, which guarantees successful baking.

4. STEP 4

   

   To prepare the dough, choose a large, spacious container in which the dough will have enough room to rise. Whisk the egg with salt and sugar until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add activated yeast, stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour in warm milk, stir lightly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add vegetable oil, stir again.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add about 3/4 of the sifted flour. Do not pour out all the flour; you may need less than the specified amount. This depends on its properties, as well as on the size of the egg and the viscosity of the milk.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything first with a spoon. Add the rest of the flour in small portions, while mixing the dough with your hands.

10. STEP 10

    

    The dough turns out soft, pliable, slightly sticky to your hands. You don't need to add too much flour to prevent the dough from being too tough. Otherwise it will be difficult and take a long time to rise. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film or a towel and leave in a warm place to rise.

11. STEP 11

    

    Meanwhile, prepare the filling. You can use any minced meat. I have a mixed one (pork, beef).

12. STEP 12

    

    Cut the pre-peeled potatoes into smaller pieces and add water to the pan. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender.

13. STEP 13

    

    Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Cool.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cut the peeled onions into small cubes.

15. STEP 15

    

    In a frying pan, fry the onion in vegetable oil until half cooked.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place the minced meat in the pan with the onions, stir.

17. STEP 17

    

    Fry the minced meat over medium heat, stirring and kneading the meat lumps, add salt. You can add any spices to your taste. Let the finished minced meat cool.

18. STEP 18

    

    Combine the fried minced meat and mashed potatoes and mix well. The filling is ready.

19. STEP 19

    

    The dough rose well in about 70-80 minutes. Bubbles appearing on the surface of the dough indicate its readiness for cutting.

20. STEP 20

    

    Gently knead the dough and place it on a table sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into equal parts, roll each part into a log. Cover the dough balls with a towel to prevent them from becoming crusty while forming the pies.

21. STEP 21

    

    Mash each piece of dough into a round cake. You can roll out the dough with a rolling pin.

22. STEP 22

    

    Place the filling in the middle of the flatbread.

23. STEP 23

    

    Raise the edges of the dough and mold the pie into the desired shape. Join the seam well. Make the rest of the pies in this way.

24. STEP 24

    

    To grease the top of the pies, stir the yolk with sour cream until smooth.

25. STEP 25

    

    Place the formed pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rest for about 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the pies with the yolk mixture.

26. STEP 26

    

    Bake the pies in an oven preheated to 180C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Since everyone's oven is different, the baking mode and time may be different. Focus on the operating features of your oven.

27. STEP 27

    

    Serve the meat and potato pies warm. Bon appetit!

School time has begun, and at the same time the time has begun for pies and buns for a snack at school))) Pies with meat and potatoes in the oven were very suitable for this purpose. Magnificent soft dough and hearty filling - there is meat, a side dish, and bread at the same time. I really liked the recipe, and my family loved the pies. Thank you very much, the recipe is great!!

Thank you, the dough is very soft and airy. After three batches of meat pies, I took the risk of making an open-faced cabbage pie with this dough, and it turned out great!
