Yeast Pie with Cabbage in the Oven: A Step-by-Step Recipe for Fresh (Pressed) Yeast
Yeast dough for cabbage pie, baked in the oven, in a step-by-step recipe is prepared in a sponge manner. Warm milk is used to activate the yeast. Its temperature should reach only 40 degrees, nothing more! Fresh cabbage stew and boiled eggs go into the stuffing.
Ingredients:
• a pound of wheat flour;
• 20 gr. natural fresh yeast;
• 150 ml of milk;
• one large raw egg;
• half a pack of good butter;
• spoon of sugar;
• a quarter spoonful of fine salt.
In the filling:
• 300 gr. fresh belochka;
• two small carrots;
• two onions;
• 30 gr. “Peasant” oil;
• three boiled eggs.
Optional:
• one large egg.
Preparation:
1. Dough kneading will start with the activation of yeast. Heat up to 40 degrees milk, pour it into a spacious bowl. Add, coloring with your fingertips, fresh yeast. Add sugar and stir thoroughly so that everything is well dissolved. We check whether there are undissolved sugar crystals and yeast sediment on the bottom, stir again, trying to separate the yeast gruel from the bottom with a whisk. Having achieved uniformity, pour about 0.75 cups of flour. Do not enter all at once, add a spoon and stir each time until smooth. Cooked yeast mixture (Opara), should look like a thick cream, so that the flour may require less. Cover the bowl with the leaf and leave for about half an hour in a warm place.
2. Cut the butter, put it in a small bowl. We place the container on the minimum fire and, stirring, slowly heat the fat. Leave it to cool completely on the table or put in a wider vessel with cold water.
3. Check the bruise. If it increased in volume and even began to settle a little, break an egg to it. Add the previously melted, and already sufficiently cooled oil and mix. Having brought to homogeneity, we begin to pour the rest flour in small portions. Shake the dough on the table and thoroughly press for ten minutes. Then, rolled into a bowl, put it back into the bowl. Covering with a piece of cloth, leave to warm up. 4. After one and a half hours, the dough must be kneaded and allowed to re-rise for about an hour, the duration depends on the quality of the yeast. It is very important that the volume is increased not less than twice.
5. Put the dough to rest, it's time to do and stuffing. Carrots and cabbage shred thin straws. Carrots may well be grated using a large grater. We clear two onions and hard-boiled eggs, cut them into small cubes.
6. In a deep, preferably thick-walled pan, dip the butter, melt, slowly, on low heat. First, in melted fat lay out onions. Fry it slices until transparent, add carrots. Mix well, cover with a lid, simmer for a quarter of an hour. Add the cabbage, add some and continue to stew the filling for another quarter of an hour. Do not forget to periodically stir gently, otherwise it will burn. Put cabbage filling in a bowl, cool to air temperature, then mix with previously chopped eggs.
7. Divide the dough after a full lift into two parts of unequal size - one should be slightly larger. Roll them out in round layers, with a thickness of 7 mm. We take a smaller layer and gently transfer it to the oiled baking sheet, in the middle lay out the cabbage stewed with vegetables. Spread the filling over the entire surface, not reaching the edges of a centimeter by three. From above we lay a bigger layer and carefully pinch the edges. To exit the steam in the center make a small hole.
8. Pour the egg into a small cup and beat it well. Lubricate the entire top surface of the cake with a beaten egg, put the pan in a hot oven. Bake the cabbage pie, keeping the oven heated for about 180 degrees, until rosy for about 35 minutes.
9. The finished cake is “washed up”, slightly moistened with cool water, wrapped in a linen towel and left to cool. Water will make the crust softer, and wrapping will keep all the moisture in the cake.

• a pound of two-component homemade minced meat (pork with beef);
• a tablespoon of homemade fatty mayonnaise;
• three raw eggs;
• 12 spoons (with a hill) of flour;
• teaspoon, plus 1/4 more, baking powder for the dough;
• 50 gr. refined oil;
• a glass of high-fat kefir.

While stirring, warm the onions to transparency. Add the minced meat, periodically crushing the meat, knocked together in lumps and, stirring it thoroughly, cook before changing color. All moisture should evaporate and the meat should turn brown. We set aside the pan from the stove, season the roasted minced meat with ground pepper and place in a bowl.

Then pour half the kefir dough into the mold, spread the cabbage evenly on it. From above, we equally distribute the stuffing evenly, pour in all the remaining dough. Make sure that the meat layer was completely covered. On the missing places, correct the dough with a spoon.
5. We put the form in the oven brought to 180 degrees. Cooking the cake for 30 minutes.
Tricks of baking pies with cabbage in the oven according to step-by-step recipes - useful tips
• Fresh cabbage needs to be shred very thinly. If you do not know how to do this with a knife, use a potato peeler. Strips turn out not only thin, but also accurate.
• For piquancy and mild sourness, when stewing, you can add a little non-sour tomato paste or freshly smashed tomatoes in mashed potatoes to fresh cabbage.
• Yeast dough for cabbage pie, the step-by-step recipe of which is detailed above, is kneaded with fresh yeast. If you don’t have them on hand, use granulated “fast” yeast. The recommended amount of fresh (20 grams), will replace 7 grams of dry yeast. They, like fresh ones, are dissolved for activation with sugar in warm milk.
• Kefir dough for filling the cabbage pie after cooking should be allowed to stand for a while. The baking powder needs time to be activated in an acidic environment. Instead of baking powder, you can use burnt soda, but you need to take it in smaller quantities - two thirds of a teaspoon will be enough.
• Before preparing the sauerkraut filling, be sure to remove the sample. Unsalted or sour cabbage can be soaked in cold water for some time.
