Ingredients

Step cooking

Knead the dough

1. Sift wheat flour (6 cups) into a large bowl.
   
2. Pour clean warm water (500 ml) into a large measuring cup and add sugar (4 tablespoons). Pour dry yeast (2 tablespoons) into the water with sugar and stir.
   
3. In a flour sifted in a bowl, make a deepening, pour salt (2.5 teaspoons), pour in the dissolved yeast and add vegetable oil (6-8 tablespoons). Start kneading the dough with a whisk, lightly picking flour from the edges. First, knead the dough by consistency like pancakes, then like pancakes, and then set aside a whisk and start kneading with your hands, gradually picking flour from the edges of the bowl and mixing it into the dough. Take the dough from the bottom and crush it through the top to the middle.
   
4. When you have a ball of dough, take it out of the bowl, and sift the flour left in the bowl onto the surface of the table. Knead the remaining flour and leave the dough for 10 minutes, covering it with a film and a towel. After 10 minutes, knead the dough well for about 2-3 minutes. Smear a clean bowl with vegetable oil (1 tablespoon) and transfer the dough into it. Grease the top of the dough with vegetable oil.
   
5. Cover the bowl with cling film and a towel and put in a warm place for 1 hour to make the dough fit.
   

Cooking stuffing

1. Peel the onion (1 piece), rinse and cut into thin quarter rings.
   
2. Put the pan on the fire, heat and pour vegetable oil (10 tablespoons) into it. Put the chopped onion in a pan and fry until golden brown.
   
3. Peel the carrots (1 piece) and chop it into thin strips or rub on a coarse grater. Add the carrots to the fried onions in a pan and fry them too.
   
4. Rinse bell pepper (1 piece), peel and cut into thin, short strips.
   
5. Slice white cabbage (1.3 kg) in a thin, short straw and put in two meals in a frying pan and stir everything.
   
6. Simmer the cabbage over medium heat without covering the pan and stir every 4-5 minutes. Salt and pepper cabbage to taste. Shuffle. When the cabbage is fried for 10-12 minutes, if desired, add red Bulgarian pepper, chopped into strips, and mix. Fry the cabbage with pepper for about 5 minutes.
   
7. Then add the tomato paste (140 grams) into the pan and mix well so that the paste spread evenly and does not burn. Finely chop fresh dill or parsley (to taste) and send to cabbage. Shuffle.
   
8. Add dry paprika (1 teaspoon) and mix. The filling is ready. Transfer the cabbage from the pan to a plate so that it cools faster.
   

We form pies

1. Carefully knead the dough and form it into a ball.Roll it up slightly and divide it into 2 parts. Lubricate the surface of the table with vegetable oil. Set aside one half of the dough, and roll the other into a sausage about 50 cm long and divide it into 9-10 equal parts.
   
2. Roll each part into a ball and leave, covering with a towel, for 2-3 minutes. After 3 minutes, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a round cake.
   
3. Put the prepared cooled cabbage in the middle of each cake and press it with a fork so that it does not break up. Close up the pies: having gathered the edges in the middle, fasten them well, pinching them with your fingers (like a dumpling), and then take the edges and pin them in the middle. Thus, blind all the pies.
   

We fry and bake pies

1. Pour in vegetable oil (500 ml) into a cauldron and set it to warm over medium heat. In the heated oil, put the formed pie and fry it over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Remove the fried pie with a slotted spoon on a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Put the pies that will be baked in the oven on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with a towel and leave for proofing while the oven is heating up.
   
2. Turn the oven 200 degrees for preheating. With a silicone brush, approach the pies slightly lightly with water and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes for baking. Lubricate the finished baked pasties with water using a silicone brush and cover with a towel. After 2-3 minutes, the pies are completely ready for use. Put all the ready-made pies on a large dish and serve.
