Meat Pie
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. The filling for the dough can be very diverse. The dough is universal and pairs well with both savory options (cabbage, potatoes, mushrooms, etc.) and sweet ones (cottage cheese, jam, fruits, etc.). Today I have a very tasty, juicy, and hearty filling made of minced meat and potatoes. The dough in this recipe turns out very successful, tender, and airy. Such baked goods will delight both children and adults. Perfect for a festive table. The baked goods are ready. Serve to the table.

Step 5
The dough should be pliable, but slightly sticky to the hands. Shape it into a ball, brush it with oil, place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and leave it in a warm place for about 1.5 hours. It should increase in size.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Combine the minced meat, onion cut into small cubes, and potatoes (the finer the pieces, the better). Add salt, spices, and mix well.

Step 13
Now for the most important task! You need to place the shaped pieces seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the shape of a tiger paw print. Put the largest piece down first and use your hands to give it the desired shape. The dough is very pliable and incredibly easy to work with. Arrange the smaller pieces on top and shape them into the needed curve with your hands. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 20 minutes, then brush with egg yolk (you can dilute it slightly with milk). Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes. The top should turn golden brown.
