Preparation
Step 1
First, prepare ingredients for the starter. Warm the milk slightly - it should be warm, not hot, or the yeast will die.
Step 2
In a suitable bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the milk.
Step 3
Sift flour into the yeast mixture.
Step 4
Whisk until smooth with no lumps. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for about 20 minutes to rise.
Step 5
Prepare ingredients for the dough. The milk should also be warm, not cold. Use neutral vegetable oil.
Step 6
Sift flour into a deep bowl. Oxygenated flour helps the dough rise better and makes it fluffier.
Step 7
By this time, the starter should have doubled in volume with many bubbles on the surface.
Step 8
For the dough, in a large bowl whisk eggs with salt and sugar until smooth.
Step 9
Pour in the warm milk and mix.
Step 10
Add the risen starter and stir.
Step 11
Add vegetable oil and mix lightly.
Step 12
Add about ¾ of the sifted flour and mix with a spoon. Do not add all at once, since flour absorption varies.
Step 13
Add the rest of the flour gradually, mixing with your hands. Adjust consistency as needed.
Step 14
The dough should be smooth, soft, elastic, and not sticky. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 70-80 minutes. Rising time depends on room temperature and yeast activity.
Step 15
While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Boil eggs hard for 8-9 minutes, then cool in cold water for easy peeling.
Step 16
Chop onion into small cubes.
Step 17
Wash cabbage, remove outer leaves, and shred finely.
Step 18
In a skillet with oil, fry onion for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 19
Add shredded cabbage, stir, and stew over medium heat until soft. Season with salt, pepper, or spices midway. If using young cabbage, it will reduce a lot in volume.
Step 20
Peel boiled eggs and cut into small cubes.
Step 21
Cool the cabbage and mix with chopped eggs.
Step 22
The dough should have risen about 2.5 times in volume.
Step 23
Gently punch down dough, transfer to a floured surface, and divide into two parts: larger for the base, smaller for the top.
Step 24
Roll out the larger part into a circle, slightly bigger than the baking pan.
Step 25
Grease a 9-9.5 inch (22-24 cm) baking pan with oil, line with parchment. Place dough inside, spreading across bottom and sides.
Step 26
Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
Step 27
Fold the dough edges over the filling.
Step 28
Roll out the smaller piece of dough. Cut out circles and arrange on top like a flower, or decorate as desired.
Step 29
Mix egg yolk with milk and beat.
Step 30
Leave small holes between dough circles or in the center for steam to escape. Brush the top with yolk mixture.
Step 31
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 30-35 minutes until golden. If top browns too fast, cover with foil and continue baking.
Step 32
Let the pie cool slightly, cut into portions, and serve. Enjoy!
