Divide the risen dough into portions, flatten each portion into a round, place equal amounts of filling on each, then pinch the edges of the dough together over the filling.

We'll start making the pie with the dough. Mix flour, salt, and dry yeast. Heat the water, then combine it with milk and vegetable oil. Pour the mixture into the flour and knead the dough. Cover it with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 50 minutes. Then punch it down and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 4
Divide the ready dough into 3 parts and place each part one at a time onto a floured surface. Flatten each piece into a round, place an equal portion of filling in the center, and seal the edges of the dough over the filling. For convenience, shape the filling into a ball. Then, gently press the dough ball into a flat round with your hands, using light taps—without stretching or using a rolling pin. Grease a baking sheet, place the pie on it, and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (428°F) for 15 minutes. Let the baked pie cool slightly before serving.
