Rasstegai recipe with fish: Step by step instructions
Step 1
I have tried many recipes for yeast dough for pies, and I must say that this one is one of the most successful. Very good proportion, the dough fits perfectly, it turns out airy and tasty. So, mix water with milk, heat up to 40-45 ° C, but not higher, otherwise the yeast will die. Dissolve the yeast.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon flour, mix and put in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the yeast rises, sift the flour. By the way, immediately lay out the egg from the refrigerator so that it is not cold.
Step 4
When the dough is suitable (covered with bubbles and increases in volume), add 2.5 cups of flour. Then add 1 egg, 3 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Step 5
Knead the dough. Then put the dough on a floured table and begin to knead it well. The dough will take some more flour. As a result, we should get a fairly soft dough.
Step 6
Now form a large bun and put it in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. Cover the dough with a paper towel so it doesn’t dry out.
Fish stuffing for Rasstegai recipe
Step 7
You can take any fish; the main thing is to remove all the bones. The most practical and convenient option is to take hake fish fillet, as they say, tasty and inexpensive. Of course, pies with salmon turn out awesome, but you can’t call such a budget rasstegai. You can also use frozen fish fillets, but in this case, you should keep in mind that the weight of the thawed fish is less than the frozen one (after defrosting, a lot of water remains).
Step 8
Cut the fish fillet into pieces of about 1.5×1.5 cm, it can be larger.
Step 9
Take two large onions, clean, finely chopped. Simmer in a small amount of vegetable oil. It is not necessary to fry strongly and even more so to dry the onion. If you want the pies with fish to turn out juicy, stew the onion over low heat and preferably under the lid. Let the onion cool down.
Step 10
Combine onions and fish. Add salt, pepper, and dill. People of the traditional culinary orientation can add chopped garlic, but for creatives, I advise you to cook fish rasstegai with the addition of cardamom. This is a very strong spice, so add just one pinch. Then mix all the filling.
Cooking Rasstegai with fish
Step 11
Knead the yeast dough lightly, divide it into 2 parts. Divide each part into 6 identical pieces. Roll each piece with a rolling pin to make a plump cake. Thus, we get 12 cakes, from which we will then make 12 rasstegais with fish.
Step 12
In the center of each cake, put the filling, about 1 tablespoon with a big hill. Then carefully pinch the dough, first from one side, and then from the other so that a small hole remains in the center.
Step 13
Now put the fish rasstegai on a baking sheet covered with parchment or greased with vegetable oil. Place the pies at a considerable distance from each other so that they do not stick together during baking. Put in a warm place for 20-30 minutes, so that the dough comes up.
Step 14
Before putting the pies in the oven, paint with a beaten egg.
Step 15
Put the pies in a well-heated oven (turn on in advance). Bake for 25-30 minutes at 180°C. At this point, monitor the baking, ovens are different, pies can be baked faster.
Step 16
Now take out the tray, beautiful and very appetizing rasstegai with fish are ready. Before getting it cool, put a piece of butter on the filling. You can, of course, melt the butter, and then pour it inside it, but these are unnecessary gestures because the butter will already melt on the hot filling.
Serve warm rasstegais with fish soup, or just eating fish pies as a snack is a real pleasure.
