Open meat pies are a traditional dish of the Tatar and Bashkir cuisines, which, however, is in great demand among Russian chefs. Belyasha must be given a rounded shape - like cheesecakes.
Ingredients for the dough:
- Granulated sugar - 25 g;
- Milk or water - 500 ml;
- Salt - 25 g;
- Sifted flour - 1 kg;
- Yeast - 25 g dry or 11 g fresh.
Ingredients for the filling:
- Ground pepper - ¼ tsp;
- Water is an incomplete glass;
- Fatty beef -1.4 kg;
- Salt
- Onions - 250 g;
- Fat for frying - 200 g.
Preparation:
- Let's start with the test. We put flour in a bowl, it must be sifted. Separately, in warm water or milk, we dilute the yeast together with salt and granulated sugar.
- We make a small depression in the flour hill. Pour the yeast composition directly into it, then stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk.
- Now we will knead the soft dough. Having finished working with him, we will cover it with a linen towel and give the opportunity to "rest" for half an hour in the warmth.
- In order not to waste time, we are preparing the filling. Grind the beef into minced meat along with peeled onions. Salt and add spices.
- After stirring, add chilled water, about 190 ml. After the next stirring, the filling for the whitewash can be considered ready.
- When the dough comes up, separate balls the size of a chicken egg from it. There will be about 20 pieces in total. Roll out each with a flat cake 4 millimeters thick.
- We lay out the minced meat on each piece of dough: we place it exactly in the middle (as a rule, a tablespoon with a small slide is used for one product). Then we gently pinch the edges of the cake - so that we get a kind of meat cheesecake, and there was a small hole above the filling.
- Now the whites have to be fried in well-heated vegetable oil (initially, only half is poured into the pan - the rest of the oil is added in portions as needed). Be sure to lay the pies with the hole down, when they are browned (after 2 minutes), turn over and continue to cook on the other side. Maintain medium fire power.
Whole family will love the hearty and tasty hot whites from the first preparation!
