Description
Cabbage pies are the first thing that comes to mind when you need to prepare some vegan pastry. Firstly, vegan dough is simple and just as delicious as regular dough. Secondly, the vegan filling made from cabbage is a traditional flavor that we have grown up with and can easily replicate. Since you can't add eggs to the cabbage, bring it to life with a mix of sautéed carrots and onions—this sauté will add some zest to the vegetable. This recipe is a time-tested classic, featuring traditional pies without any culinary tricks or experiments. If you feel like adding something new, try starting with spices—some Asian flavors or a standard mix of Mediterranean herbs.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 17.6 oz
- Dry yeast - 0.2 oz
- Sugar - 1.6 oz
- Water - 11 fl oz
- Vegetable Oil - 3 fl oz
- White Cabbage - 31.7 oz
- Onion - 1 head
- Carrot - 1 piece
- Dill - 0.4 oz
- Salt - to taste
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Mix the yeast with 30 grams of sugar and 250 ml of warm water. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
Sift the flour into the mixing bowl, then add the water with the yeast, 80 ml of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Knead until you have a smooth dough that is not too firm and not sticky.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in a warm spot for 1.5 hours.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. For this, finely shred the cabbage.
Step 5
Dice the onion finely.
Step 6
Grate the carrot using a large grater.
Step 7
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil and sauté the onion and carrot until soft.
Step 8
Add the cabbage, pour in a little water, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
After 5 minutes, when the cabbage has slightly wilted, stir the contents of the pan. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender (20-25 minutes).
Step 10
Season the prepared cabbage filling with salt to taste and stir in chopped dill.
Step 11
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into pieces weighing 55 grams each. Roll the pieces of dough into balls and cover them with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
Step 12
Flatten a piece of dough into a round shape, place the filling on top, and seal the edges tightly.
Step 13
Transfer the pastries to a greased baking sheet, seam side down, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 14
Mix 15 grams of sugar with 30 ml of warm water until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 15
Brush the sweet water over the vegan pastries and place them in an oven preheated to 392°F for 15 minutes. Once baked, you can brush the pastries with vegetable oil for a glossy finish.
