I rarely make anything from yeast dough (except, of course, for pizza =) But here I had to use the chicken breast that was left over from dinner. And I remembered about Russian yeast baking and an excellent and very simple recipe =) I decided to make rasstegai - traditional Russian pies with a hole on top. By the way, they turned out quickly... the dough was soft and tender, and the filling was rich... If you like yeast baked goods, this recipe is for you!
Ingredients:
Preparation:
2. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Cut the chicken fillet into small cubes. Chop the onion and eggs. Salt, pepper, mix.
3. When the dough is ready, divide it into pieces. Roll out each piece into a flat cake approximately 5 mm thick and 8-15 cm in diameter, depending on the desired size of the pies. Place a portion of filling on each flatbread. Attention! I don’t recommend saving the filling!
4. Carefully pinch the edges on both sides, forming elongated pies with small round holes on top. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, grease with vegetable oil, and lay out the pies. Brush the pies with the egg beaten with milk.Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 10 minutes.
Every housewife dreams of surprising loved ones with luxurious dishes. What about the royal treats that the most sophisticated gourmets loved? Many people probably think that preparing such a treat is very difficult. But in fact, everything is accessible and simple. In Rus', ordinary people and the highest-ranking officials “respected” pies with various fillings. And this is quite simple to explain: hearty, simple food that could be served every day was valued.
Many travelers and gourmets described it in their memoirs. They talked about a pie that took up a large plate. There was a filling inside it (fish, meat); before serving, a small piece of butter was placed on top of it and a little broth with chopped herbs was poured. It is worth noting that this tasty product was served with soups and yushka.
There is an opinion: the pie changed due to the fact that it began to be served in restaurants and on royal tables. That is, from a large, whole one, it turned into a portioned pie with a hole on the top. It has its unique name because of the so-called seam - “pie”, which stretches the pie and secures its edges. The secret of cooking is to make this very hole correctly. After all, the filling should be visible, impart its aroma, but not fall out of the dough.
You just need to show a little patience and effort and you will definitely succeed! Pie with meat can become a signature dish for any housewife or a famous chef. Our ancestors invented many wonderful dishes, so why not take advantage of their secrets?
According to Russian traditions, the dough for noble pie was prepared with yeast. At the same time, it was insipid, that is, without butter, milk, sugar. Modern cooks do not give up these ingredients, and the pies turn out softer and fluffier. Let's consider one of the most popular and delicious meats. It is not difficult to prepare, but it is important to strictly follow the technological process. Only then will you be able to cook a real masterpiece in your kitchen. For the pie dough you will need:
First of all, you need to thoroughly sift the flour. Cooks recommend doing this twice, which will not only help get rid of possible debris, but also enrich the flour with oxygen as much as possible. The more carefully you follow this recommendation, the easier your dough will rise.
Heat water or milk in a deep bowl. The liquid should be warm, but not hot! Add a spoonful of sugar, add yeast and grind everything thoroughly into a homogeneous mass. Pour a little flour (100-150 g) into the dough and mix again. You will end up with a thin dough, which you need to leave and let it rise (about 20-40 minutes, depending on the quality of the yeast). Watch her. As soon as you notice that small bubbles have appeared on the surface, you can continue working.
Add the remaining flour and butter to the dough. Combine the eggs with salt and beat a little (there is no need to bring them to foam), pour them into the rest of the ingredients.
If you want to make a real tasty pie with meat, you will have to knead the dough thoroughly. It is necessary to achieve complete homogeneity; no lumps or detachments are allowed. When the process is finished, place the dough in a bowl or saucepan and be sure to cover with a towel and put it in a warm place. It is unacceptable for it to stand in a draft, otherwise the dough will fall and it will not fit.
Leave it for about 1-2 hours. When the dough has noticeably increased in size, it needs to be kneaded. To do this, wet your hand in sunflower oil and knead thoroughly. Our ancestors performed this ritual up to 5 times! It was believed that the more “approaches” in the batch, the fluffier the pies. If you have the time and desire, try this method.
The dough is ready, you can start preparing it. Generously sprinkle the table with flour and roll out a long rope. Try to divide it into even pieces (you will get about 15-20 lumps). In this form, you must definitely leave them to “breathe.” After time, we roll each piece into flat cakes; they should be quite large in size. The thickness of the dough is approximately 0.5 cm. You can add the filling. But first, let's learn how to cook it.
Both ordinary people and kings preferred fish and cabbage. They prepared pie with meat and potatoes, rice, eggs, and game. For this classic dish you will need:
Rinse the meat thoroughly, remove veins and hymen. Cut into small pieces, dry and place in a hot frying pan. Fry until golden brown and add finely chopped onion. Cooking time is approximately 12-15 minutes. It is very important not to dry out the meat; it is better to leave it undercooked. It will finish in the oven.
Cool and grind it in a meat grinder, combine with finely chopped boiled eggs. The mixture should be homogeneous. Pepper, salt and add spices if desired. There is an option when a little broth is added to the minced meat for juiciness. Boil it with the addition of bay leaf, carrots and a small onion. The liquid should be rich and aromatic, but not too greasy. Chicken is great for broth.
So, all the components are ready, all that remains is to connect them. Place the filling on the rolled out pieces of dough (about 1.5-2 tbsp). Crumple the minced meat into an oblong roller, because you need to achieve a “glass” shape - this is how pies were prepared in Rus'. We lift the parallel edges of the dough up and pinch it, do not forget to leave a “window” in the middle of the product.
Place the prepared pies on a greased baking sheet at a distance of 5 cm. Leave them to rise for another 10-20 minutes. Beat the yolk and brush the surface of the workpiece. Place in a preheated oven, bake at 180-200°C for 15-20 minutes.
If you don’t want to bother with each pie, you can prepare a large product in the form of a cake; in Rus' it was first prepared that way. Roll out the dough to the required shape, leaving the edges to cover the filling, ¼ of the entire surface. You can close the minced meat completely, and then cut through the “windows”. In general, fantasize as you like.
Cover the finished pies with a towel for 5 minutes, then add a small piece of butter into the “window” and pour in a spoonful of broth. Your delicious dish is ready! Now you know how to cook pies with meat.
In fact, every housewife is a real wizard in her kitchen. You just have to use your imagination a little and you will invent a new unique dish. That's how it is with pies. There are many additives that can make your pies more delicious and unusual. If you prefer lean and dietary meat, you will love chicken pie. It is prepared in almost the same way as the classic one with meat. However, this recipe calls for poultry rather than roasting. Please note that it is better to take fatty chicken, and the filling includes skin and giblets. The meat is cut finely and mixed with fried onions and carrots. Eggs are not added to these pies.
You can, of course, make your task easier and prepare pie with minced meat, which you will purchase ready-made. Make sure it is sufficiently fatty and fresh. You can add a little boiled rice to the filling - the taste of this dish is very delicate. Cereals should be added in a ratio of 3:7 to minced meat. If you like potato pies, you can prepare a dish with this ingredient. To do this, puree is prepared and mixed with the filling. Some people prefer to use diced root vegetables.
Cooking is a real art, the heritage of which has been passed down to us from the depths of centuries. It is very interesting to try to cook new delicious dishes that the kings themselves were treated to. Plus, with a little effort, it will be quite easy to do. Pie with meat is not only tasty and aromatic, it looks great on any holiday table. Treat your loved ones to a great dish!
A classic dish of Russian cuisine. Fragrant pies, in the classic version, were prepared from soft dough and served with various soups. The composition of the filling varied depending on which soup the pie was served for: for the soup - fish filling, for meat - meat.

While the dough is rising, let's make the filling. Cut the chicken into strips, grate the carrots on a coarse grater, and cut the onions into cubes. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onion in it until transparent. Add carrots to the onions and continue cooking until the vegetables acquire a golden hue. Then you can add the chicken to the frying and fry it until it is set on all sides.
Divide the dough into pieces of the same size, each of which is rolled into a flat cake. Place the filling in the center of the flatbread and seal the edges of the pie together like a dumpling, leaving a small hole in the center. Place the molded pies on a baking sheet, brush with beaten yolk and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Pies with chicken should be served with soups made with chicken broth.

Interesting Facts
The name of the traditional Russian pie, rasstegaya, apparently comes from the word “stretch.” And all because pies were traditionally served with fish broth, which many cooks directly poured into the pie, for which purpose they stretched the hole in the pies. This trick made it possible to make the pie much juicier, and its dough became soft, tender, and aromatic. According to other interpretations, the pie got its name because it looks like it is “unbuttoned” in the middle.
