In any case, whether you choose a recipe for a pourable pie or a quiche, or decide to follow your great-grandmother's recipes, a few tips will surely come in handy. I'll share them in my recipe.

Step 1
To make the dough, use store-bought dough or prepare homemade yeast dough at home. I make it in a bread machine. Place the following ingredients into the bread machine bucket: 1 tablespoon of instant dry yeast, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 500 g of sifted flour, 50 g of butter, 100 ml of vegetable oil (do not heat the butter or vegetable oil), and pour in 280 ml of drinking water or milk. Knead the dough in the machine. The rising (dough preparation) time is 2.5–3 hours.

Step 2
Divide the prepared dough into 4 parts. I ended up with 2 pies like this. Roll out one portion of the dough into a flat sheet.

Prepare the filling. For the pie, I used boiled pork, finely chopped. I sautéed finely chopped onion in vegetable oil, then added finely chopped fresh mushrooms (oyster mushrooms). Once the liquid evaporated, I added the chopped meat. Season with salt to taste, add pepper and chopped fresh herbs. The filling is ready.

Step 6
From the second part of the dough, make a "lid" for the pie. Roll out the dough into a flat layer. Use a rolling pin to imprint a pattern, then transfer the dough onto the pie. Join the edges of the two dough layers together. Trim off any excess.
