Leek and Cheese Pie

Recipe with no. 501 I said to be this delicious pie with leeks and cheese, the recipe received from a family with whom we became friends at the cooking workshops and which is very dear to me.

I haven't made much leek pie so far, and it's a shame, it's very delicious, simple and good-looking - this leek season. If you don't really like leeks, you can put any filling, even plain cheese (possibly with onions) because I liked the dough here the most. I haven't made such a perfect pie dough in a long time and I really recommend it to you - although you can replace it with commercial or homemade puff pastry.

Step 4

Now we quickly make the pie dough.

In a bowl pour 250ml of warm water, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Then the yeast and about 150g of flour - mix well with the aim to get a mayo like liquid cream to consistency.

Let it rise for 15-20 minutes.
