Ossetian pie with onions
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. Ossetian pies are incredibly delicious, and you can come up with different fillings! If the pie turns out thicker than 1.5 cm, then it is no longer Ossetian, but just a pie. And the dough from this recipe can be divided into two or three pies; it all depends on the desired size. In addition to onion, I suggest adding cheese to the filling, but you can also try options with egg, potatoes, etc. The baked goods are very tasty, I recommend trying them. The baked goods are ready. Serve to the table.

Then turn it over and use your palms to shape it into a round flatbread. Make a hole in the middle so the dough doesn’t puff up, transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I also additionally sprinkle the paper with flour). Bake each pie one by one in a well-preheated 250°C oven, first for 10 minutes on the very lowest level, then move the pie to the middle rack and let it brown for about another 10–12 minutes.
