Braided cabbage pie

The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. For this pie recipe, ready-made puff pastry is used. We prepare the filling from cabbage, shape the pie, and bake it in the oven. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Diagonally cut the side portions of the dough into 1-centimeter-wide strips relative to the filling.
