Description

Baked rastegai are aromatic homemade pastries that are impossible to resist. Soft yeast dough, golden crust, and a juicy filling of fish, potatoes, and onions. Rastegai always turn out perfectly—tender, fragrant, and wonderfully homey. Serve with tea or coffee.

    The finished dough should increase in volume by 1.5–2 times. Divide the dough into 14 equal parts, each weighing about 95 grams. Roll each piece into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes.

    Roll out the dough into a flat round, and place the filling in the center.

  14. 14

    Step 14

    Pinch the edges of the pie on both sides, leaving a small hole in the center. Seal carefully so that it does not open during baking.

    Step 15

    Step 15

    To brush the rastegais before baking, prepare a mixture of a small amount of milk and 1 egg yolk. Brush the rastegais with this mixture. If desired, you can place a small piece of butter into each rastegai through the opening left in the center. This will give the filling a delicate creamy flavor.
