The filling is made from orange root vegetables and sugar. Previously, the carrots are grated, mixed with sugar.
In preheated water, you should dilute the yeast with granulated sugar. Separately add salt to the sifted flour, after yeast with liquid, mix until smooth. When the dough becomes the desired consistency, add a little vegetable fat to it, knead. For frying, you cannot make the flour mass thick, otherwise it will not fry well inside.
When the dough comes up, small pieces are pinched off from it, rolled into a ball.

To prevent the flour mass from sticking to your hands during sculpting, it is recommended to grease them with sunflower oil.

For the filling, grind grated carrots with granulated sugar. In addition, you will need 1 yolk to grease the products on top.
The warmed milk dissolves the required amount of yeast with sand. Flour is separately sifted with a slide, an egg, yeast that have come up and melted butter are introduced into it. From the mass, elastic dough is kneaded and sent to rest.
Carrots are peeled and rubbed separately, mixed with sugar. The oven should be heated to 200 degrees. The formed pies are laid out on a baking sheet lined with parchment, smeared with whipped yolk and sent to bake until tender.
Apples, which are mixed with the main component in equal proportions, will help to make carrot pies even tastier. Such a pastry will fill the whole house with aroma, suitable for a festive and everyday table.
As a filling, apples and carrots are taken equally, a little cinnamon, granulated sugar and vegetable fat. Root crops with fruits are chopped on a grater, mixed with spices.
A moderately thick yeast dough is prepared from the declared components and sent to the microwave for 5-7 minutes at a temperature of 160 degrees. This will speed up the lifting process. At this time, you can turn on the oven to warm up, setting the temperature to 190 degrees.
Small pieces are laid out on a greased baking sheet and smeared with yolk. After the container is sent to the closet for about 35 minutes. Cool the finished baked goods a little and serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
The carrot filling for pies is diluted with a little onion. The vegetables are pre-chopped and sautéed in a pan.
Small cakes are formed from yeast dough, filled with filling, the edges are pinched. If the pieces will be baked in the oven, you can leave a small part of the middle of the pie open. Ready-made semi-finished products can be fried in a pan or baked.
The carrots are chopped with a blender or food processor, then sent to the heated oil and stewed until soft. Further, pre-soaked raisins are added to it, granulated sugar after cooling.
The finished dough is rolled into a layer. After it is divided into squares or circles, filled with filling. Pies are formed, which are then laid out on a baking sheet and baked in the oven until golden brown.
Carrots, cabbage, onions, a little tomato paste and spices are used as the filling. In season, it is recommended to replace tomato paste with fresh tomatoes. A little fresh herbs will not hurt, which will add a special flavor to the baked goods.
Only boiled water and cold whey are mixed in the container. Sugar and yeast are poured there. When the reaction takes place, the liquid is poured into flour, mixed with egg, salt and butter. Not a cool mass is kneaded and sent to heat.

For the dough, yeast is mixed with sugar, egg, salt, sugar and flour in warm water. Gradually pouring in vegetable fat, the elastic mass is kneaded. When it increases in volume (after about 60 minutes), it needs to be kneaded, then divided into portions, to form pies. The edges can be pinched with beautiful teeth.
The blanks are laid out on a baking sheet, greased with an egg and sent to bake in the oven for about 35 minutes at 180 degrees. The readiness of the products can be recognized by the ruddy surface and by checking with a toothpick. If you wrap the pies in plastic, they will remain soft for a long time and will not become stale.
