Step 1
Mix water, salt, sugar, yeast and flour to make a yeast dough and place it in a warm spot to rise. Boil the potatoes and make mashed potatoes from them. Cut the mushrooms into pieces and fry them in a pan until done. Mix the ground meat with finely chopped onion and fry until done. When the dough has increased in volume by 2–3 times, you can start creating the masterpiece. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll one part into a flatbread about 1 cm thick. Spread a layer of mashed potatoes on it.

Step 3
From the second portion of the dough we cut out the turtle’s shell. For this, roll the dough into a sheet and cut circles with a glass or a cutter. Using a smaller‑sized cutter, make “notches” inside each circle, but not all the way through—just lightly press the cutter into the dough to create the appearance of the turtle shell’s scales. As shown in the photo.

On the base pie, fold the edges, slightly lifting them and pinching them together. Arrange the top of the pie in circles, in the shape of a shell. Place the pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6
Bake until done. Doneness can be easily determined visually – the pie is browned, so it's ready! We only need to bake the crust, as all the other ingredients inside the pie are already ready.
