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.
Bon appetit!
