Instructions
Step 1
Begin by finely shredding the cabbage. Toss it into a skillet with chopped onions and grated carrots. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are partially cooked through.
Add salt and your choice of spices to enhance the flavor. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm yogurt with eggs and a pinch of salt. Whisk these together until fully blended.
Sift in the whole grain flour along with the baking powder, stirring the mixture carefully until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
Step 3
Pour a portion of the dough into a greased baking dish. Spread the prepared vegetable filling evenly over it.
Finally, cover the filling with the remaining dough. For a delightful touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before baking.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Bake the pie for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Check the doneness by inserting a wooden skewer; it should come out clean when the pie is ready.
Servings
Serve your savory pie warm, paired with a fresh side salad 🥗 or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess. You can even cut it into smaller pieces for a perfect appetizer at your gatherings or picnics! Imagine welcoming your friends with the warm aroma wafting from the oven 🌬️—they won't be able to resist a slice!
For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some fresh herbs like dill or parsley 🌿 on top before serving. It's not just a dish; it's a delightful experience for all your senses!
Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. It should be large enough to allow for easy mixing without spilling.



Choose a non-stick baking dish for easy release of the pie. If you don't have one, lightly grease a glass or ceramic dish.



These tools are perfect for mixing your batter and ensuring all of your ingredients are well combined.
You'll need these for chopping vegetables. Ensure your knife is sharp for safe and efficient chopping!


Variations
For a gluten-free version, you can substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Just ensure to add a bit of xanthan gum to achieve the right consistency.
If you're looking for a vegan option, simply replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) and use unsweetened plant-based yogurt instead of kefir. You'll love the beautiful texture and flavors of this pie without any animal products!
Faq
- Can I use other vegetables for the filling?
Absolutely! You can get creative with your fillings. Bell peppers, mushrooms, or even spinach work great—just remember to sauté them first!
- How do I know when the pie is fully baked?
Check for golden-brown edges and insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your pie is done!
- What if my batter is too thick?
If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of warm water or plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling the day before and store it in the fridge. Just assemble the pie when you're ready to bake.
- What should I do if my pie cracks while baking?
Don’t worry! It happens sometimes. A little crack won't affect the taste—just consider it a rustic charm!
