Ossetian pie with potatoes and suluguni
Description
Goes perfectly with tea and coffee. Pie dough should be soft and airy, not heavy with flour. Always cool the filling; never put it on the dough while hot or the dough will turn tough. Ideally, the thickness of the round should be under one centimetre, and the baking time depends on how hot the oven is and how thick the pie is. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
