Step 1
I'll be kneading the dough in a bread machine, but you can do it by hand. There won't be any difficulties. For quick kneading, you can use a mixer. So, put the yeast, salt, and sugar into the bucket.

Step 2
Add vegetable oil, flour, 1 egg, and water. Place the bucket into the appliance and knead the dough for about 45 minutes. For those kneading by hand: dissolve the yeast in water. Sift the flour into a bowl. Add sugar and salt. Begin kneading the dough by incorporating the yeast mixture into the flour. Once the yeast has "awakened," add the beaten egg (simply whisk it with a fork). As the very last step, when the flour has absorbed the water and the dough starts coming together, pour in the vegetable oil and knead again. Knead for 7–10 minutes. Then place the dough into a clean bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 hour.

Step 5
Grate the hard cheese on a grater. Press the garlic using a garlic press. Mix well. Add a little salt and spices. For a juicier pie, I recommend grating 50-70 grams of butter and adding it to the filling. This will make the cheese filling more delicious.

Divide the resulting dough into 2 parts. Take the larger portion, roll it out, and use it to line the bottom of the pan (with edges).
