Ossetian pie with greens and cheese
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. This very tasty and easy-to-make pie originates from the Caucasus Mountains. First, you need to prepare a yeast dough and let it rise well. For the filling, chop the greens and grate the cheese. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into three parts. Roll each part into a flat round, place a portion of the filling on top, then gather the edges up around the filling to form a pouch. Flatten the dough ball into a round, flat pie and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Once done, generously brush the pie with butter and serve. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
