Pie
Description
The key to making buns and pies lies in delicious, fluffy dough. That's why I recommend using yeast dough—it rises well during baking, becomes airy, and turns out light as a feather. The most important thing when preparing yeast-based baked goods is to ensure all ingredients are warm; only then will the yeast activate and fill the dough with air. You can shape the buns however you like, but be sure to try making a "rose" pie—it looks stunning. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

3. Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover with a lid, and let rise in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours. Knead the dough slightly, roll it out into a 5 mm thick sheet, and cut out circles 8 cm in diameter.

4. Place three circles so that they slightly overlap each other. Roll the circles into a log and cut the strip in half—this will give you two little roses. Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
