Mushroom pie made with yeast dough
Description
The baking is simple and quick. I suggest all homemade pastry lovers take note of this surprisingly easy recipe for a mushroom pie made with yeast dough. The dough turns out airy, and the filling is very juicy—a perfect combination. If desired, you can not only sauté the mushrooms but also simmer them in cream, for example. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
1. Of course, we should start with the dough. In this case, the recipe for a mushroom pie made with yeast dough has one peculiarity: it's prepared without eggs. If desired, you can use any other favorite dough recipe. So, mix the yeast with sugar and a small amount of warm water. Let it sit for about 5–7 minutes. Then add salt, vegetable oil, flour, and the remaining water. Knead a soft dough (don't be lazy—spend at least 10–15 minutes on this). Then cover it with a clean towel and leave it in a warm place. After an hour, gently press the dough down and let it rise again.

2. While the dough is rising, you can prepare the filling. Wash the mushrooms, dry them, and slice thinly or cut into small cubes. Peel 1-2 onions and chop finely. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet, sauté the onions (just for a couple of minutes), then add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, and cook the filling until done. Let it cool down afterwards.

3. Roll out the dough quite thinly and place it on a greased baking sheet so that about half of it lies flat. Spread the filling evenly over the entire surface (leaving a little space around the edges). If desired, you can add some herbs, for example.

4. By this time, preheat the oven to about 200 degrees. Carefully cover the filling with the second half of the dough, sealing the edges. Make a small hole in the center to allow excess steam to escape. If desired, for a glossy shine, brush the mushroom pie made from yeast dough at home with egg yolk.

5. Bake the pie for about 35-40 minutes. The top should be nicely browned, and a toothpick inserted into the dough should come out completely dry. Let the pie cool thoroughly, then carefully slice and serve.
