Pies with rice and egg in the oven

Before preparing the dough, you need to activate the yeast. We heat the water to 30-40 degrees, there is no need to make it hot. Place a couple of tablespoons of flour, sugar and yeast in warm water. Mix everything.

Place the bowl in a warm place for 15-20 minutes. If the yeast is activated, a foamy cap will appear. This indicates good quality yeast.

Add egg and vegetable oil to the yeast. Mix the dough with a whisk until smooth.

Now you need to sift the flour and salt into the container with the yeast. First, knead the dough with a spoon, and when it becomes tight, we switch to manual kneading. The dough will be slightly sticky, but this is the secret of airy baking. Let it rise for 1 hour under cling film.

While the dough is not yet ready, let's make the filling. Boil the rice in salted water, covered, until cooked. The optimal ratio is 1:2. Cook the cereal for about 15-20 minutes until the water has completely evaporated. Once the rice has cooled slightly, add the butter and let it cool completely.

Boil the eggs hard. Cut into medium sized cubes.

Combine rice with eggs. Taste it; if desired, you can add more salt to the filling and add your favorite spices.

The dough has risen, knead it and transfer it to the work surface. To prevent it from sticking too much, lightly dust your hands and work area with flour.

Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces. We turn each part of the dough into a ball, gathering the edges at the center into a knot.

Roll out a piece of dough into a flat cake 3-5 mm thick. Place a spoonful of rice in the center.

We pinch the edges. Place the workpiece seam side down.

Transfer the pies to a baking sheet. Try not to place them close to each other, as they will increase noticeably during baking. Leave them under the towel for 15 minutes.

Before placing the baking sheet in the oven, brush the pies with egg yolk. Bake at 190 degrees on the “top-bottom” mode for about 25 minutes. Focus on the color of the crust.

These yeast rice and egg pies in the oven with classic filling will always take pride of place on the table.
Enjoy your meal!
