Pie with cheese, spinach and leek - perfect for breakfast

Hello blurtiants and food lovers. If you need an idea for breakfast or dinner, I will share with you a recipe for a simple and very tasty pie. 😊

I'm a fan of dough and pastries, especially when it's homemade. When I was a child, I loved the pie that my grandmother used to make and I tried to learn so that I could make it when she was gone. I've never been able to make it exactly like her, but I improve with each new attempt. 😊

I made this pie last night and for the filling, I had cheese, spinach, and leeks. You can put whatever you want.

So let's start. 😊

Ingredients:

• flour
• dry yeast (5g)
• half a teaspoon of sugar
• a teaspoon of salt
• 300 ml of water
• oil or lard
• 4 eggs
• spinach
• cheese
• leeks
• tablespoon of cornmeal
• 200g (cup) of sour milk
• a little milk to sprinkle on top of the pie

Determine the quantity of ingredients for the filling according to your taste.

Put a little dry yeast, half a teaspoon of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt in the dough mixing bowl.

Add 300ml of lukewarm water and then gradually add flour until you have kneaded a dough that does not stick to the walls of the bowl.

Cover the dough while you make the filling.

Wash the spinach.

Chop it up.

Salt the spinach and then add 1 tablespoon of cornmeal.

Chop the leek.

Add chopped leeks and cheese to the mixture.

Beat 4 eggs with a fork.

Add beaten eggs and sour milk. I don't know if sour milk is available in your stores. It's a thick yogurt, a little thinner than sour cream, but you can put sour cream instead of sour milk, you won't go wrong.

Stir the mixture.

Uncover the dough.

Divide it into one larger and one smaller ball.

And then divide the smaller ball into 4 small balls.

Roll out the larger ball and thin it out with a rolling pin.

Coat it with melted lard or oil. I mixed lard and oil.

Now cut it like in the photo and overlap the cut parts from the end towards the middle to form a ball again.

Roll out that ball again.

Place the crust in a baking pan.

Coat it with oil or lard.

Place the filling over the crust and then roll out one of the 4 smaller balls with a rolling pin.

Place it on top and repeat the process (crust, coating, filling) with the remaining 3 balls.

Finish with the filling and then put the crust that is outside the baking pan over the filling. Coat the pie on top with a little lard or oil and milk. And it's ready to bake.

Bake it for about half an hour at 230 degrees.

And now enjoy its taste.

It can be eaten with yogurt for breakfast or dinner. My grandmother did it much better than me, but I still practice making it and it turns out better every time. 😊
