Yevhen Klopotenko will help Ukrainianize his guests’ favorite dishes and give new life to the products of our ancestors! Taras Topolya brought buckwheat to the project’s kitchen! What is unusual to cook with Ukrainians’ favorite product? Yevhen Klopotenko offered to make a Yavoriv pie!
Sycamore pie
Ingredients:
- Milk – 125 ml;
- Yeast – 25 grams;
- Flour – 550 grams;
- Egg – 1 pc;
- Water – 125 ml;
- Salt;
- Sugar – 1 tbsp;
- Buckwheat – 200 grams;
- Potatoes – 8 pcs;
- Onions – 2 pcs;
- Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp.
Method of cooking:
First, make the dough: combine milk with yeast and leave it for 15 minutes. Take the flour and combine it with the dough that has already started to act. Add the egg, oil, water, salt, and sugar. Stir well and leave in a warm place for one hour. While the dough is rising, mix buckwheat with mashed potatoes and add salt. Fry the chopped onion in vegetable oil and add it to the mixture. Roll out the dough well and divide it into two parts. Put the first part of the dough into the mold and put the filling in. Cover the filling with the second part of the dough and pinch the ends. To get a beautiful color, brush the top of our cake with an egg. Put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 50 minutes. Bon appetit!
