Grandma's Sauerkraut Pies

It is my favorite recipe for quick pies, when I make bread I usually make a few pies. Now I show you the sauerkraut pies, later I will put the ones with feta cheese. This type of pie was usually made by their grandmother on the eve, after taking the bread out of the oven. As a taste - they are beautiful, very soft and fluffy, the dough combines perfectly with the taste of sauerkraut. So another delicious recipe for those who fast and not only.

Step by step
Step 1

The dough is similar to bread, just put a little less yeast. Mix 1 glass of warm water with yeast, sugar and half a glass of flour. Allow the yeasts to activate for 10 minutes. Then add 3-4 tablespoons of oil, salt, flour and mix a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Let it grow for half an hour and rest.

Step 4

In half an hour, divide the dough into 3 balls (in the picture there are 6 that I made and 3 pies with feta). Knead them with a little flour and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Then spread each ball with a spatula, grease it with oil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Here I superimposed them on top of each other to take up less space.

Sprinkle the filling on 2/3 of the sheet.
