I definitely wouldn’t refuse a piece (or maybe more than one) of this pie; I look at the last piece and my mouth is watering, it’s very appetizing

Vera, thanks for the recipe. Oh, oh, for the recipes. Several options. I never tire of saying that you are smart. Vera, tell me, why do you need to sprinkle water under the towel??? I do not know that

A very interesting recipe. Made from puff pastry. My husband is delighted. I ate half of it myself. And the dough inside reminded me of paste. It's like it wasn't baked. Although I baked it for 1 hour and 15 minutes, the crust was nicely browned. Maybe this is how it should be? It is difficult to calculate how long to roll out the dough. I had it in a roll, I had to cut it into two parts and make 2 rolls. The shape turned out to be too big (d26 cm), and the pie did not turn out very beautiful. But tasty and filling. Vera, THANK YOU!!!

Girls, I understand everything, I was cooking today, but the temperature is 220, the very top is burning. I turned it down to 180, everything was ok, it was baked. And so for the recipe 100 points. Delicious
