Ingredients needed to make fish pie

Preparing yeast dough (safe method)

1. Dilute dry yeast in warm water, add sugar and mix well

• Instead of water, you can use whey, potato broth, milk or kefir.

2. Add an egg, a pinch of salt, vegetable oil and sifted flour

• Do not break the egg over a bowl: shell particles may get into the dough or the egg may not be fresh
• You can immediately pour 1.5 cups of flour into the dough, and then add flour, focusing on the consistency of the dough

3. When the dough becomes difficult to stir with a spoon, transfer it to a work surface sprinkled with flour and continue kneading with your hands.

4. The consistency of the dough should be very soft and slightly stick to your hands.

5. So that you can work with the dough, grease your hands with vegetable oil and continue kneading: do not add flour!

6. This is what a properly kneaded dough looks like

7. Grease a bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough in it, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 30-40 minutes: during this time the dough should double in volume

Preparing the pie filling

1. Make the frying: fry finely chopped onion together with carrots in heated oil until golden brown.

• Leeks are best for making pie

2. Cut the skin off the fish, remove the bones and cut into small pieces

• Instead of silver carp, you can take any river fish.
• The larger the fish, the less damp it smells.
• do not pass the fish through a meat grinder; the fishy taste should be felt in the pie.
• If you are using cheap fish, put it in boiling water for a minute - this will make it easier to separate the bones.

3. Add pieces of fish to the frying. Salt, pepper and fry for 2 minutes

4. Pour in the cream, heat and remove from heat.

Cooking a pie

1. While the filling is cooling, knead the risen dough again, transfer it to a bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise again

2. When the dough rises for the second time, divide it into two parts (one should be a little larger) and roll each into a round layer

3. Grease a baking dish (you can use portioned molds) with vegetable oil and line it with dough: the thickness of the bottom layer should be approximately 1 cm

4. Place the filling on the dough and sprinkle with chopped herbs

5. Cover everything with the second part of the dough and pinch the edges

• the cake can be shaped however you like: open, closed, round, square - it all depends on your imagination

6. Make the decor for the pie: cut out 5 circles of the same diameter from the dough, overlap them and wrap them in a roll.

7. Cut the resulting workpiece in half and get a rose

8. Decorate the pie with roses

9. We make several punctures in the middle with a skewer: we pierce only the top cake. Cover the cake with a towel and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes

10. Brush the surface of the pie with beaten egg and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

11. Cover the hot pie with a towel and leave until it cools completely: this will make the pie crust soft

Fish pie is ready! Delicious!
