Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. In this recipe, I used fresh-frozen mushrooms, but you can also use fresh mushrooms. Start making the hand pies by preparing the dough.
Step 2
Place the yeast and sugar in a deep bowl, pour in warm boiled water, and leave for 15 minutes. During this time, the yeast will begin to work and a fluffy yeast cap will appear on the surface.
Step 3
Stir the mixture and add the salt, vegetable oil, and gradually sift in the flour. Depending on the quality of the flour, you may need a little more or less than the amount stated in the recipe. Knead first with a spoon, then with your hands, kneading the dough for 7–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and no longer sticks to your hands. Cover the bowl with the dough with a clean napkin and place it in a warm spot for 40–60 minutes, until it increases 2.5 times in size.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender. Fry the mushrooms in vegetable oil, then add seasoning for potatoes and vegetables at the end. If needed, add a little salt and pepper. Mash the cooked potatoes, adding some of the potato cooking water. Add the mushrooms to the mashed potatoes and mix. The filling is ready.
Step 5
Punch down the risen dough once more, place it on a work surface, roll it out, and shape it into a log. Cut small pieces from the log.
Step 6
Roll out each piece, add the filling, pinch the edges together, and shape the hand pies. Fry the hand pies in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown and serve hot. The meatless potato and mushroom hand pies with airy yeast dough are ready. Enjoy!
