Potato Patty Dough
Ingredients:
- 300 ml of kefir 3.2% fat;
- 400 g flour;
- 1 tsp. soda, salt and sugar;
- 80 ml of vegetable oil.
Remove kefir from the refrigerator 40 minutes before cooking. It should be at room temperature, so the dough will rise better and faster. Stir in soda, salt and sugar and add a third of the vegetable oil. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Continuing stirring, gradually add flour.
Start kneading the dough with your hands as soon as it becomes difficult to make with a spoon. At the end, mix in the remaining vegetable oil. The basis for potato pies should be elastic and not sticky. Wrap it in cling film so that it does not dry out and leave for half an hour.

- 1 tbsp dry yeast;
- 500 ml of milk from 2.5% fat;
- 2 chicken yolks;

- 1 tsp Sahara;
- 2 tsp salt.
Sift the flour several times through a sieve and pour into a deep bowl. Make a fermentation of 2 tsp. flour, 100 ml of warm milk, sugar and yeast. Let it stand for at least 15 minutes until doubled in volume.
