Yeast Pies with Milk, Potatoes and Sausages (in the Oven)

An excellent substitute for breakfast or dinner, and also a great option for a snack to go – yeast dough pies with mashed potatoes, fried onions, and sausage. These pies are ruddy, appetizing, hearty, and very tasty.

Cook: 2 hours 20 minutes

Servings: 10

Ingredients

For the test:

• Milk – 180 ml
• Vegetable oil (I have sunflower oil) – 50 ml + for greasing a baking sheet
• Eggs – 2 pcs.
• Flour – 400 g (3 cups with a capacity of 200 ml)
• Pressed yeast – 15 g
• Sugar – 1 teaspoon
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon

For filling:

• Potatoes – 350 g
• Sausages (I have milk) – 150 g
• Bulb onions – 1 pc.
• Butter – 25 g
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon
• Refined sunflower oil (for frying) – 50 ml

  For sprinkling the pies:

• Black sesame – 1 tbsp

Directions

1. Heat the milk slightly until warm (but not higher than 40 degrees). Dissolve sugar, yeast, and a tablespoon of flour in milk. Leave it on for 15 minutes.
2. When a frothy cap forms on top, pour the dough into a large bowl. Add salt and eggs (take one yolk and leave to grease the pies).
3. Add vegetable oil to a bowl and whisk everything together.
4. Little by little adding the sifted flour, mix it into the dough.
5. When the whisk becomes difficult to handle due to the thickness of the dough, lay it on the table surface and continue kneading with your hands.
6. Ready yeast dough is elastic, keeps the shape of a ball, and does not stick to your hands. Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with cling film, and place in a warm place for 1 hour to proof.
7. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: wash the potatoes, peel, cover with water and boil until tender (15-20 minutes after boiling water).
8. Peel the onions and cut them into small cubes. Fry the onions in vegetable oil until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
9. Drain the finished potatoes. Add salt and butter. Crush the mashed potatoes.
10. Add the fried onions along with the vegetable oil in which they were fried. Mix well.
11. The filling turned out to be soft, homogeneous, with small inclusions of onions. Cool the puree completely before shaping the patties.
12. Meanwhile, the dough has grown 2.5-3 times in volume. Wrap your hands around it, releasing all the air.
13. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and roll into balls (you get about 70 g balls). Cover them with plastic wrap to keep the dough from chapping.
14. Use a rolling pin to roll out a ball of dough into a round cake about 0.5 cm thick and 10-12 cm in diameter.
15. Put 1 tablespoon of potato filling in the center of the flatbread, on top – the sausage peeled from the shell.
16. Join the edges of the dough over the filling and close the pie with a tight seam.
17. Form the rest of the patties in the same way and, as they form, place with the seam down on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. While the pies are melting, turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.
18. After a while, grease the pies with yolk, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and send to the preheated oven.
19. Bake pies with potatoes and sausages at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes, until cooked – they will increase slightly in size and become a beautiful light brown color. Yeast pies with milk, potatoes, and sausages are ready. Let them cool slightly.
20. Then remove the nails from the baking sheet and cover with a clean towel. Airy yeast dough, hearty filling, light crunch of sesame seeds, and a juicy sausage inside – a great opportunity to feed the whole family, because who would refuse such yeast pies.

Enjoy your meal!
