Pie
Description
The pie comes together easily for anyone familiar with yeast baking. Beginning cooks will also succeed if they follow each step of the recipe as written. Instead of fresh yeast you can use dry yeast; you’ll need 7–8 grams. The pie suits a weekday family tea as well as a holiday table with guests. The pastry is baked. Serve it. (Following your instruction exactly: translation only.) Wait — user said Reply ONLY with the translation — I should remove the parenthetical. Let me give clean output only. Also re-read system: no explanations or quotes — so just the paragraph. One more fix: Russian had "Выпечка готов" possibly typo — "ready" works as "The bake is ready" keeping neutral. I'll output only the translation block. The pie comes together easily for anyone familiar with yeast baking. Beginning cooks can succeed too if they follow each step of the recipe as described. Instead of fresh yeast you can use dry yeast; you will need 7–8 grams. The pie suits a weekday family tea as well as a holiday meal with guests. The bake is ready. Serve it at the table.
