Ingredients

Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
Milk - 12 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

To prepare the dough, mix the dry yeast with the flour, add a teaspoon of salt, pour in the warmed milk (100°F), and knead the dough. When a homogeneous mass is formed, beat in the eggs, add 70 g of melted butter and sugar. After kneading the dough, place it in a deep bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 2

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Peel and boil the potatoes. Chop the onion not too finely and sauté until golden brown. Mash the potatoes, add a little hot milk, butter, sautéed onion, salt, pepper, and dill to taste. Mix well.

Step 3

When the dough has risen, knead it again, divide it into small portions. Roll out each piece of dough, place the filling in the center, and shape into pies.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 374°F. Line a deep baking tray with parchment paper, grease with butter, and place the pies at a small distance from each other. Bake the pies for about 40 minutes. 10 minutes before they are done, you can brush them with melted butter or beaten egg yolk.
