Pie
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. This pie will please me with its original shape and excellent taste. One pie combines two pies at once – with meat and cheese. My son, who practically doesn't eat meat, has really taken to the cheese part of the pie and eats only that. This pie is good for a weekend day when you want to delight your family with something tasty. Try it and enjoy Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

Start adding flour gradually and mixing. Then transfer the dough to a work surface and knead a soft, fairly elastic dough. You may need less or more flour, depending on the quality of the flour. The dough should not become too stiff. If you see that it already has a good consistency but is still slightly sticky to the hands, grease your hands with vegetable oil and knead the dough further.
