The delicate taste of pies with eggs and onions is familiar to everyone since childhood. They were always baked by their beloved grandmother or prepared by their mother for the holidays. Sometimes tasty versions of this dish could be bought in the cafeteria. Making pies with eggs and onions is not difficult. It is enough to master a minimum of the simplest recipes.
Although there is no problem with fresh herbs throughout the year, green onion and egg stuffing is most popular when ground vegetables and herbs come into season. You can grow green onions at home without waiting for summer. To do this, just put a few onions in water, place them on any windowsill and in a couple of weeks you will have green onions for filling in pies.
Cooking instructions
Pour heated water into a large bowl. Its temperature should be about + 30 g. Add sugar, yeast, salt. Stir. Add the egg. Stir again. Add 2 cups of flour and start kneading the dough with a spoon. Pour in the oil and add more flour. The mass should be neither fluid nor too dense. Add flour and knead the dough until it moves freely from the surface of the table and from your hands. Place the finished dough in a warm place.
Chop the onion and eggs.
Transfer the filling to a suitable container, add salt to taste, and mix. The onion and egg filling for pies will be tastier if you add a sprig of dill or parsley to it.
When an hour has passed and the dough has “grown” in half, you need to divide it into pieces. Fans of large pies can separate pieces weighing 80-90 grams. Fans of miniature or medium-sized pies can separate pieces of lighter weight.
Make a flat round cake from each piece. Place the filling in the center of the dough.
Connect and pinch the edges of the pies with onion and egg.
Let the molded pies “rest” on the table for 10-12 minutes.
Fry yeast pies with onion and egg on both sides until golden brown.
