One of the most common pie fillings in Russian cuisine is cabbage. The filling should be juicy, moderately soft, but textured. We'll tell you how to make it with minimal effort. And our recipe also includes a way to make good yeast dough.
1

Add the yeast mixture and 400 grams of flour, mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm place for 30-60 minutes. The mixture should rise and be covered with large bubbles.

Add the remaining flour to the dough and knead it. This can be done with a mixer, but it's essential to finish kneading by hand. The dough shouldn't be too stiff but also shouldn't stick to your hands. Transfer the dough to a large container, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in a warm spot for another 40-60 minutes. It should double in size.
