Very simple recipe but with a very good result. I used the dough from one site, the assembly method from another, both quite successful. You can use any favorite fish fillet, it is important to be boneless - you can use the store-bought puff pastry.

Step by step

Step 1

First prepare the dough for the pie. If you take puff pastry from the market, the following steps can be omitted.

In a bowl put 1 glass of water or warm milk, 1 egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar.

Step 2

Mix the above ingredients well, then add the crumbled yeast and mix again until dissolved.

Step 3

Add the flour and mix well.

Step 4

When you have gathered the dough a little, put the soft butter and knead well until it sticks to your hands. If necessary, sprinkle more flour.

Step 5

When the dough is uniform and no longer sticks to your hands, put it in a clean bowl, cover with foil and leave in a warm place to grow well.

Step 6

It should increase in volume about 2 times.

Step 7

After it has risen, knead it a little more and in 10 minutes it is ready to be used in the pie.

Step 8

The fish fillet is washed well and allowed to drain.

Step 9

Cut the onion into medium pieces and brown in oil.

Step 10

The dough is divided into 2 pieces, each of which is made into a pie.

Spread a round sheet 3-4 mm thick, from each piece of dough, put the fish fillet in the middle (salt and pepper a little).

Step 11

Place fried onions or mayonnaise on top of the fish (if using).

Step 12

The dough is cut into uniform strips and "braided" - each piece of dough is placed one after the other, as seen in the picture.

Step 13

The pies thus formed are placed in the oven tray, greased with a little oil. Grease with egg yolk on top and put in the oven for about an hour, until golden brown.
