Step 1
Peel and wash the potatoes. Then slice them into thin rings, as thin as possible. If you have a special grater or a food processor, it will greatly simplify and speed up the slicing process.

Step 2
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, and add raw ground meat. Beef works well for this dish, but you can use pork, chicken, or lamb. Peel the onion, finely chop it, and add it to the potatoes and meat mixture.

Step 4
Mix flour, salt, yeast, and warm water to make a yeast dough. Place it in a bowl and cover with a lid or a towel. Once the dough has risen in a warm place, knead it again and divide into two portions, one of which should be twice as large as the other.

Step 6
Place the pre-prepared filling onto the rolled-out dough and evenly distribute the meat and potatoes over it. Leave a couple of centimeters on the sides to allow for sealing the dough.

Step 7
Now roll out the smaller piece of dough and cover the meat and potatoes with it. Pinch the edges together to form a braid so the pie won't fall apart during cooking. Pierce a small hole in the center to allow steam to escape. Brush the pie with egg yolk to achieve a golden crust. Bake the chudu in the oven at 220 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes. After baking, place the finished dish in a plastic bag for five minutes; this will make it even softer and juicier.
