How to make dough with kefir
To make a dough on kefir for cabbage pie, you need to take the following components:

- 200 g creamy margarine;
- 2 eggs;
- 2 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;

Remove the margarine from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften. If there is no time to wait, you can slightly reheat it in the microwave. Sift the flour through a sieve.
Combine eggs with kefir and mix thoroughly with a whisk until smooth. Add soda, granulated sugar and salt to the kefir-egg mixture. Continue whisking lightly and gradually add wheat flour. When the dough becomes elastic and resembles yeast in consistency, knead it well with your hands. Then add softened margarine and stir into the dough.
Form a bun out of the prepared dough, transfer it to a deep bowl, cover with a napkin and place in a cool place for 30 minutes.
