Yeast dough pies are one of the coziest and most soulful dishes of Russian cuisine. The airy, soft dough filled with aromatic filling symbolizes home comfort and hospitality traditions. The history of these pies goes back centuries when yeast dough became the basis of Russian baking. They can be made with any fillings: juicy meat, sweet apples, fragrant cabbage. The baked goods turn out golden and crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside. Such pies are perfect for family dinners as well as festive feasts. They are enjoyed warm, savoring their rich flavor, sometimes complemented with sour cream or hot tea. This recipe conveys the spirit of traditional Russian cuisine and warms not only the body but also the soul.
