Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom the yeast in the lukewarm, sugary milk.

Tip: Milk should not be hot.
2 ✓

Brown the ground meat in a pan. Add the grated vegetables and cook until liquid evaporates. Cool completely.

Tip: Zucchini releases a lot of water; cook it off to prevent soggy dough.
3 ✓

Rub the flour with the cold butter and salt. Add the egg, sour cream, and yeast mixture. Knead.

Tip: Rubbing in butter creates a tender crumb.
4 ✓

Knead in the cooled meat mixture. Let rise for 1 hour.

Tip: Be patient, the heavy filling slows the rise.
5 ✓

Roll to finger thickness, cut out rounds. Brush with egg, sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: Cheese forms a crispy crust.

Recipe FAQ

Why didn't it rise?
The meat might have been too hot when added to the dough, killing the yeast. Always cool the filling completely!
The dough is too heavy.
Lots of filling weighs it down. Keep the dough soft, don't over-knead.
