The most delicious whites with meat and the best dough for making them with a step-by-step recipe, colorful photos and a detailed video.
I want to draw your attention right away: in order for the whites to turn out to be really tasty, juicy and tender, do not make any holes or holes in them, as it is written in many recipes. Let the meat juice stay inside the whites and not leak out, making the meat dry and tough. Below, we will definitely talk about this.
All of us are familiar with the name belyasha came from the old name of a big pie. In the Bashkir and Tatar languages, it sounded like balish. Such a pie was baked from unleavened dough, and minced meat mixed with potatoes served as a filling for it.
In Russian cuisine, belyash is a small fried pie that has a round shape and, for some reason, with a mandatory hole on top. I would like to talk about this hole in more detail:
To tell you the truth, I don't know what the need for it is. But on the other hand, I know for sure that meat juice evaporates through this hole, and when the whites are turned over, when they are fried, it simply flows into the hot oil, making the minced meat drier and less tasty. The conclusion is obvious:
No holes! Try to tightly connect the dough, and then the minced meat will always be juicy, tender and very tasty.
First, let's start making yeast dough. In the meantime, it will rise, we will prepare a filling from minced meat.
You can, of course, go to the store or the market and buy ready-made minced meat, now this does not present any difficulties. But there is one but:
When purchasing minced meat in a retail network, ask the seller to cook it in front of your eyes from the pieces of beef and pork you have chosen. Otherwise, the presence of ears and tails, at the price of natural meat, in your minced meat will be guaranteed. So is it worth the risk?
Belyash is a Tatar cuisine dish that has become very popular in our area due to the fact that meat pies fried in oil came to our liking. Many people associate belyasha with street cuisine, with stalls selling hot pies, pasties and belyasha. A kind of lunch on the go. But street whites are also a big surprise, what they are made of, whether the expiration date of the products has expired, whether the dough is stale. There are no guarantees. What to do if you so badly want to eat belyashi with meat, but do not risk it. It's simple, you need to learn delicious homemade recipes and cook the whites yourself.
In fact, real Tatar belyash is a big cake that is baked, not fried. And what we are used to eating is closer to pies called peremyachi. But we have become so accustomed to calling them whites for so long and so much that we will most likely not be able to change the habit. I do not think that the whites will suffer from this, they will still remain the same tasty.
Belyashi with meat can hardly be called a dietary dish, since it is essentially fried in a pan in a large amount of vegetable oil. Almost deep-fried. Therefore, before you cook them, mentally be prepared that the pleasure of whites will cost you many, many calories eaten.
If this does not bother you too much, and you want tasty whites as before, let's figure out how to cook delicious homemade whites with meat, and what is required for this.
There are several recipes that are slightly different from each other. It's all about how the dough is kneaded and how the whites themselves are prepared.
First, we will consider how to cook whites with yeast dough.
The most common recipe for making homemade whites with meat is on yeast dough, followed by frying them in boiling oil in a pan. Such whites with meat turn out to be lush, ruddy and juicy inside. Most of us are just such whites and love. Cooking them is not that difficult, but it will take some time. It's all about the dough, which must be kneaded correctly and allowed to rise.
You can make a filling for whitewash with almost any meat, even a mixture such as pork and beef. A one-to-one ratio is fine. But you can make pork or beef whites with meat if you like it better. The main secret is to make the meat filling juicy; for this, a large amount of onion is used, water or broth is added to the minced meat.
But let's take everything in order to learn how to make delicious homemade whites with meat.
We need:
Preparation:
1. The first thing we start to do when baking any pastry is, of course, the dough. Since we have yeast dough for whitewash with meat, we first prepare the dough.
The dough is made from yeast with the addition of a small amount of ingredients that will turn on the fermentation process. First, we need warm water and sugar.
Break the yeast into pieces in a bowl or ladle, then add a tablespoon of sugar and half the water, about 100 ml. Stir the yeast in water to dissolve the sugar and the yeast itself. This is called "dissolving" the yeast.
2. Now add 2-3 tablespoons of flour there and stir well until all the lumps are dissolved. You should get something like a batter. After that, cover the dough with a lid or tighten the bowl with cling film. Leave for 15-20 minutes for the dough to ferment and begin to rise into a lush, foamy mass.
3. When the dough comes up, it will increase in volume by one and a half times. After that, you can open it and pour it into a bowl or saucepan, in which we will continue to knead the dough.
4. Add the second half of the water, milk and an egg slightly beaten with a fork to the dough (so that the yolk and white are mixed). Add a teaspoon of salt there and mix everything well with a tablespoon or spatula.
5. Next, you need to gradually add flour. Literally 150-200 gr. stir the resulting dough at a time and between each addition until the dry flour in the dough disappears from view. This will mix better with the flour.
It is advisable to sift the flour in advance using a special sieve or do it directly into the bowl with the dough. For this, I usually take a special sieve-mug for flour and immediately sift it into a dough piece. Flour is saturated with oxygen and thanks to this the dough will be very fluffy, and the whites with meat will eventually come out really airy.
6. The most difficult thing is to guess how much flour you need for the dough in advance. the fact is that flour is of different quality and moisture. Even the humidity in the air can affect the amount of flour. Therefore, we add flour in parts and continue to stir. The maximum amount is 1 kg, you should definitely not put more than this. But until we come nearer to this line, we interfere further.
At some point, it will become impossible to stir with a spoon due to the thickness of the dough, then put it aside and continue with your hand. Alas, the dough will stick to your fingers, but this cannot be avoided.
If you have a special combiner for kneading dough or a bread maker, then it will be easier for you, since you can entrust them with difficult work. But I trust my hands more, because I can feel the dough, how thick and soft it is and whether there is enough flour. With experience, this feeling is deposited very deeply in the memory and even the amount of ingredients will not need to be measured, as happens with many housewives. We know the dough by touch.
7. Stop kneading enough when it becomes thick enough to begin to peel off the walls and hands, and at the same time all the flour from the day of the bowl will be mixed in. Then add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil directly to the dough. It must be mixed well so that it completely dissolves in the dough. This can take about five minutes, it will make the dough plastic and homogeneous. The dough should stick well and be slightly softer than plasticine.
After that, cover the bowl with a lid or cling film and leave it to come up. The dough should increase in size. Do not put it in a cold place, it is better to leave it at room temperature or slightly warmer. Leave it on the rise for an hour and a half or two.
8. With a properly prepared dough, whites with meat are very tasty. After all, the dough is one of its main components.
The risen dough should approximately double in size. This means good yeast has been used and the kneading is correct.
9. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it with your hands on a table or a special silicone mat. To prevent it from sticking to the table and hands, use vegetable oil to lubricate the surface and hands. Do not use flour, it may change the consistency of the dough.
Knead the dough well to squeeze out any air bubbles. When it deflates to its original size, becomes smoother and more pliable, return it to the bowl, cover and let rise one more time. You can skip this stage only if you are already in a hurry, for example, for the arrival of guests. But if you have time, then let the dough rise a second time, this will make it tastier and more fluffy.
While the dough comes up a second time, you can prepare the filling.
10. For the filling, take the prepared minced meat or scroll it yourself. One time is enough. Peel the onion and also roll it through a meat grinder so that the pieces are very small. A blender is also suitable for this, you can grind in it. If you are adding cilantro, chop it very finely with a knife. You need a teaspoon of salt with a bump, and half a teaspoon of pepper, if you do not like sharper.
11. Combine meat with onions and spices in a separate bowl until smooth. In order for the whites with the meat inside to turn out juicy, you need to make sure that the filling does not turn out to be dry. When stirring the minced meat, make sure that it is very soft and does not crumble into meat grains. The minced meat should be much softer than for regular cutlets. For the right consistency, it can be diluted a little with drinking water or meat broth, if you have one. Here, too, you will have to look and feel the consistency, you may need 2-3 tablespoons of water, or maybe a little more. The main thing is to stir the water well in the filling so that it is completely absorbed into the minced meat and does not stand at the bottom of the bowl.
12. When the dough comes up a second time, you can start sculpting the whites with the meat. To do this, grease your hands and the surface of the table (rug or baking paper) with vegetable oil, lay out the dough and begin to divide it into balls no larger than your palm. Make balls the same size by eye, or divide the dough into halves. That is, the whole piece in half, because each half in half, then each quarter in half, and until you reach the desired size of the pieces. I got 12 balls.
13. Prepare the place where you will put the ready-made whitewash with meat. This can be a baking sheet, a sheet of baking paper, or a large dish. The whites should not touch so that they do not stick together.
Now we begin to sculpt the whites. Knead the dough ball with your fingers to make a flat cake. Not too thin, but try to keep the middle thicker. This will balance the thickness of the dough in the place where we will pinch it so that it sticks together, with the opposite side.
Place a heaped tablespoon in the middle of the flatbread.
14. Now you need to gather the edges of the dough together and make a kind of a bag out of it. Squeeze them tightly with your fingers so that the dough sticks together and there are no holes left, and the future whitewash becomes round. Then flatten the finished whitewash to a flatter state.
When frying, the whites inflate again and therefore should be flatter than the expected finished result when raw. Put the blinded whites on a baking sheet or sheet until they are fried.
15. In a deep skillet, heat the oil to a simmer and reduce the heat to lower than medium so that the whites do not burn on the outside and bake on the inside. Place the whites two or three in the butter (depending on the diameter of the pan and the size of the whites) and fry them on each side until they are well browned.
Fry them evenly on both sides. You can break the first whitewash and check whether the filling is ready inside, if everything worked out, then the frying temperature is normal. If the meat is damp, then reduce the heat and fry the whites a little longer.
Put the finished whites on a large dish or plate covered with paper towels or napkins so that excess oil is absorbed by the glass and absorbed into them. Belyashi with meat is already a rather fatty dish, why add oil from frying to it.
Ready-made whites are a great hot dish and can replace a whole lunch or dinner. Set and eat while they are still hot. Bon Appetit!
Yeast dough is very tasty and the whites with meat are simply wonderful, but its biggest minutes is the cooking time, considering how long it needs to knead, wait when it comes up twice, and before that prepare the dough. You don't always have a whole day to cook whites in a pan. On TV, such moments are suitable for an instant recipe - belyashi on kefir. Kefir will serve as the substance that will make the dough for the whiteness airy and fluffy. Instead of fermenting yeast in a warm environment, we will ferment kefir.
For a delicious homemade recipe for making whites on kefir, see this video. You will not believe how quickly whites are cooked with meat with such a dough, but they taste no worse and are fried in the same way in a pan.

Very often, on culinary forums, you can find desperate calls from hostesses to save them that are not fried or burned completely whitening with practical advice on how to cook them. And you need to start solving the problem from the root, namely from the dough and filling.
It is necessary to lower the whites in well-heated oil with a seam or a hole down, and fry under a lid over a fire for a little less than average 7-8 minutes, and only then turn over and bring to readiness without a lid for 7-8 minutes.
At home, 15 minutes frying in a pan with a properly set flame will be more than enough for the whites to become golden brown, well done and not burn.

I'm done for today and I want to wish you all the best. Come to me again, there are a lot of delicious and simple recipes ahead of you.
Tatars consider belyashi to be their national dish and call them "peremyachi". The sponge method of preparing this treat, which has been used for a long time, is not suitable for all housewives. After all, you need to set aside time for dough and wait until it rises.
It was decided to knead the whitewash dough using dry fast-acting yeast. The airiness of the baking does not suffer from this, moreover, the cooks will not have to stay in the kitchen for a long time.
The appearance of the pastry resembles pies, only round in shape. For minced meat, you can use any meat with the addition of onions, salt and other seasonings.
3 eggs; 100 ml of water; half a kilogram of flour; half a liter of fat milk; ¾ pack of butter and one bag of dry yeast (11 g)
To make the dough soft and airy, I propose to master some techniques. As I said, we will use packaged dry yeast. They begin to act faster if you create favorable conditions for this.
Cooking our dough:
Flour products cooked on kefir dough do not stale for a long time. Warm pastries are airy and soft. Let's not waste time and study the recipe by which the dough is quickly prepared in catering establishments.
For whites, you will need minced meat and dough ingredients:
a glass of fatty kefir (preferably not the first freshness); 3 eggs; small bag of dry yeast; 450 g wheat flour; a teaspoon of sugar and the same amount of salt.
Now let's knead the dough:
Belyashi can be prepared from dough, which is kneaded by an emergency method. You do not have to devote a lot of time to treats, but all because you will now know one universal recipe.
For one bag of dry yeast you will need:
450 g flour; 300 ml of water; incomplete tablespoon of sugar; a pinch of salt.
Dough preparation method:
The bread maker is intended not only for baking various bakery products. By setting a certain mode, with its help you will knead the dough into whites. Moreover, you do not even need to make an effort to this, the whole process will be taken over by the kitchen "helper".
Put in the container: 350 g of flour and water; 40 ml of sunflower oil; dry yeast bag; half a teaspoon of salt and a full teaspoon of sugar.
Depending on the type of bread maker, the dough will knead from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. You just have to put it on the table and mold the whites.
The classic whitewash filling consists of lamb and onions. But the chefs have managed to invent new varieties of minced meat, which include:
After kneading the dough in any way, start cooking the minced meat. If you were unable to buy lamb, take any meat and twist it through a meat grinder twice.
A detailed recipe for classic minced meat for whites is as follows:
half a kilo of lamb; a glass of cream; 3 medium onions; pepper and salt to taste.
2 kg. For frying whites: 250 ml of refined vegetable oil.
Preparation:
Serve hot, sprinkled with sour cream or sour cream sauce.
