Ingredients for lean patties for 10-12 servings:
• 1.5-1.8 kg of flour;
• 800 ml of warm water;
• 70 g of fresh yeast or granulated sachet;
• 1 cup of sugar;
• 200 ml of vegetable oil;
• 2.5-3 tsp. coarse salts;
• 1 kg of white cabbage;
• 2 pcs. carrots and onions;
• 1 tsp ground pepper;
• strong and sweet tea brewing (for greasing pies).
We take a glass of warm water and shake fresh or dry yeast in it. Then add 1/2 tbsp to this mixture. tablespoons of sugar, stir again and leave for a few minutes.
The remaining water is poured into another dish. Dissolve all sugar, salt, pour 120-150 ml of sunflower oil and yeast mixture. Stirring with a fork, add a little flour and knead the elastic dough for lean pies, which should not stick to your hands.
To make the dough elastic and soft, it is advisable to sift the flour. We cover the finished lump of dough in a bowl with a towel and, leaving it in a warm place, let us come up two or three times, after each lift we crumble.
For filling the pies, chop the cabbage thinly, transfer to a colander and scald with boiling water, let it lie for about 10 minutes.
We heat the vegetable oil. Finely chop the onions, three carrots, fry the vegetables until golden. We transfer steamed cabbage to them, salt, pepper and fry for 7-8 minutes.
We tear off the lumps from the dough, roll the balls out of them, flatten, place the cabbage filling in the center and sculpt the pies.
Bake delicious pies with cabbage in the oven on a greased baking sheet. The temperature is 200-210 degrees, the time is 12-16 minutes. Before sending the pies to the oven, so that the products come out beautiful and ruddy, grease their surface with tea leaves.
