Who doesn’t like pies, one with cabbage. In my opinion, this is simply a classic of Ukrainian baking. There are many options for dough and filling, we offer you another wonderful recipe for fluffy, tender pies with a classic cabbage filling.
Ingredients:
For yeast dough:
240 ml. milk (warm)
1 Art. l. sugar
6 g of dry yeast
1 egg at room temperature
30 g of melted butter (warm)
1 Art. l. vegetable oil
400 g of flour
1 tsp. salt
For the filling:
1 large bulb
2 medium carrots
half a head of cabbage
salt
ground black pepper
bay leaf
Vegetable oil for frying
Yolk and 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil for greasing pies
Preparation:
We prepare the dough:
Add a spoonful of sugar and yeast to the warm milk. Mix and leave in a warm place for 10 minutes.
Add an egg, a little cream and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Add flour and salt. Mix
Knead the dough. If you have a mixer with a dough attachment, knead for 5 minutes. Knead with your hands for 15 minutes, until the dough starts to come away from your hands and the surface.
To prevent the dough from sticking at the end of the kneading process, grease your hands with vegetable oil, form a ball, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 40-60 minutes, until it has tripled in size.
When the dough has risen, we pass it around to release carbon dioxide and leave it for another 40 minutes.
Prepare the filling:
While the dough is rising, prepare the cabbage filling.
Cut 1 large onion into cubes, grate carrots on a large grater, chop cabbage.
Add vegetable oil to the pan and fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add the carrots and fry again for a few minutes. Add cabbage, stir in a little water, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste, mix and simmer again for 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft.
2 minutes before it is ready, add a bay leaf, make a big fire and, stirring, evaporate the liquid so that the filling is not too juicy.
Remove a bay leaf from the finished filling. Let it cool down.
We form pies:
Grease the work surface with vegetable oil so that the dough does not stick. Divide the dough into 10 equal parts. Use a rolling pin to form round shapes. Place the filling in the center and form a triangle. You can make pies of any shape convenient for you. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Cover the finished pies with a towel and let them stand for 15 minutes to rise.
Turn on the oven at 180 °C.
Beat the yolk with vegetable oil and grease the cakes.
Put the cabbage pies in the oven for 3 minutes or until they are browned.
Cover the finished pies with a towel, let them cool and enjoy.
