Description Products Steps

Ossetian pies are a national Caucasian dish, which is prepared with different fillings: usually meat or cheese. For the second option, you can make cheese yourself or choose Suluguni, Adyghe, or feta cheese. The main thing is that it is viscous and moderately salty. The pie becomes rich thanks to potatoes. It is mashed into puree, mixed with cheese, and this way the filling turns out tender and even more appetizing.

   to taste

Steps:

1. 
   Sift the flour. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut large potatoes in half. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Dust your work surface with flour.
2. 
   Pour kefir into a large bowl, add butter, salt, sugar and mix well with a whisk. In a separate bowl, combine flour with soda and pour into kefir mass.
3. 
   Start kneading the dough with a spatula and then continue with your hands. When the dough becomes elastic and does not stick to your hands, wrap it in a bag and leave to rise for 1 hour.
4. 
   Boil the potatoes and add salt to taste. Crush into puree, add grated cheese and pepper. Mix the filling until smooth.
5. 
   Knead the dough with your hands into a cake 5-7 mm thick. Place the filling in the middle and form into a “bag”, pressing the edges tightly. Turn the seam side down and knead the dough again into a flat cake with a diameter of 30 cm.
6. 
   Preheat oven to 220°C. Cover a baking sheet with parchment and grease with vegetable oil. Place the pie and make 2 cross-shaped cuts in the middle. Place to bake for 10-15 minutes.
7. 
   Grease the finished Ossetian pie with butter, cut into 8 pieces and serve hot.
