3. Sift the flour into a deep bowl, add the salt, and make a well in the center. Add the risen sponge and a lightly beaten egg. Mix, then add soft butter and knead the dough. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1½ hours.

4. The dough should rise to 2–3 times its volume. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. For example, for a meat filling: finely chop the onion and sauté it in hot oil until golden. Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Dice the hard-boiled egg into small cubes and finely chop the parsley. Combine everything, season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
