Water pies fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make water pies fried in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Take the highest grade flour. Yeast can be used either live pressed or dry in granules. In any case, check the expiration date: the yeast must be fresh. Read all the nuances of working with different types of yeast in the article on this topic. Link at the end of this recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Heat the water to 35-40°C. To check the desired temperature, drop a little water on the inside of your wrist. If the water feels slightly warm, almost not felt on the skin, then everything is fine. If you feel hot or cold, it means the water is either higher than the desired temperature or lower. And accordingly, it needs to either be cooled or further heated.

3. STEP 3

   

   If you are using live yeast, crumble it into warm water and add sugar. Stir everything. There is no need to infuse such yeast. They are already active.

4. STEP 4

   

   But the dry ones need to be activated: add sugar and yeast to warm water, stir and leave until a fluffy cap appears. If the cap does not appear, then the yeast is not active and you cannot continue cooking with it. You need to repeat the process with fresh yeast.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the yeast mixture into a deep bowl. Sift all the flour into it through a sieve, add salt and pour in vegetable oil. You may need less or more flour, depending on the consistency of the dough. Read more about the properties of flour in the article at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead into a homogeneous, slightly sticky dough. You need to knead with your hands for about 7 minutes. If you knead in a kitchen machine, then the same amount.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the dough with a towel and leave warm for 1 hour. After an hour, the dough will rise and you can make pies from it.

8. STEP 8

   

   How to make the filling for fried pies using water and yeast? You can use any filling, sweet or savory. I made pies stuffed with cabbage. You can use either young or last year’s cabbage. You can replace the dill with other favorite greens (parsley, cilantro, green onions) or make a mix of different types of greens.

9. STEP 9

   

   Melt the butter first and cool it. Important! If you melt in the microwave, do not use dishes with gold ornaments, metal dishes or dishes with a metal coating. Otherwise, unplanned fireworks will occur in the microwave.

10. STEP 10

    

    Shred the cabbage thinly, removing the stalk and some of the hard leaves next to it.

11. STEP 11

    

    Boil 600 ml of water in a saucepan (the amount of cabbage). Place the cabbage in boiling water, bring the water to a boil again and blanch over medium heat: young cabbage for about 4 minutes, old cabbage for about 6-7 minutes. During this time, the cabbage should become soft.

12. STEP 12

    

    Drain the cabbage in a colander, cool and press with your hands to remove excess moisture.

13. STEP 13

    

    Boil the eggs hard, cool and peel, then finely chop with a knife. The filling should be free of large pieces that could damage the dough when forming the pies.

14. STEP 14

    

    Wash the greens, dry, shake well, and finely chop.

15. STEP 15

    

    In a bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients for the filling. Season the filling with salt, pepper and mix well.

16. STEP 16

    

    Divide the risen dough into 12-14 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands.

17. STEP 17

    

    Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball out into an even circle on a floured surface. The size of the circles is approximately 10-12 cm. Place 1-2 tbsp on the dough. l. cabbage filling.

18. STEP 18

    

    Carefully pinch the edges of the dough to form an oblong pie. Make the rest of the pies in the same way.

19. STEP 19

    

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan so that it completely covers the bottom of the frying pan. Place a few pies, seam side down, and fry over medium-high heat (I use mode 7 out of 9) until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (use your stove and frying pan as a guide) : it may take more or less time). Then turn the pies over to the other side and fry for about the same amount until golden brown. Read how to choose a frying pan and oil at the end of the recipe.

    Yeast pies on water are ready. Bon appetit!

My husband has been asking me to make pies with cabbage for a long time, but I wanted fried pies. And then I found a suitable recipe on the site that suited both of us - water pies fried in a frying pan. The dough for the pies is very simple and inexpensive, made from the most ordinary products. I often cook this, but I’ve never fried pies, but cooked them in the oven. I was wondering what the pies would taste like when fried. For the filling I used only cabbage, did not add eggs or dill. I fried cabbage and onions in vegetable oil. The pies came out wonderful! They left the table in an instant! The dough of the pies turned out thin, soft, there was a juicy filling inside, it turned out to be enough. The process of frying the pies did not take much time; it was faster than in the oven. The pies taste excellent! Thank you so much for the recipe!
