Description

Pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. For the filling you can use not only cottage cheese. Cabbage, pumpkin, potato, beans, or minced meat work well. Vegetable fillings always include cheese, while for meat fillings only pork or beef is used. Everyone can choose a filling to their taste. The pastries are ready. Serve at the table.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare all the ingredients according to the list. For the filling I’m using sulguni, but you can use brynza or Adyghe cheese. Any-fat cottage cheese will work.

    First mix the dough with a spoon, then continue kneading by hand.

    The finished dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Rub your hands with vegetable oil, gather the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with a towel, and place it in a warm spot to rise.

    In about an hour to an hour and a half, the dough should rise well.

    The risen dough should be punched down and divided into two parts.

  11. 11

    Step 11

    Step 11

    Sprinkle the work surface generously with flour and place one ball of dough on it. Flatten it with your hands into a round disk. You can use a rolling pin. Spoon the filling onto the centre.

  12. 12

    Step 12

    Step 12

    Lift the edges of the flatbread over the filling and pinch them together into a cone-shaped pouch.

  13. 13

    Step 13

    Step 13

    Carefully, so the dough does not tear, flatten the cone into a flat round pie. Make a hole in the center of the pie for steam to escape. Form the second pie in the same way. Place the pies on an oiled baking sheet or oiled parchment. Bake the pies in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. The exact time depends on your oven.
