Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, combine 100 ml of warm milk with the instant yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes until it becomes frothy. This activates the yeast, allowing your pastries to rise properly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining warm milk, the frothy yeast mixture, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 egg, and 80 grams of melted butter. Gradually add 750-900 grams of flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.

Put the dough in a warm place and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise for about 90 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 2

Shape the Pastries

After the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air. Divide it into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place these balls on a floured surface and cover them with plastic wrap for 30 minutes to allow them to rest.

Once rested, flatten each ball and place a spoonful of filling in the center. Pinch the edges to seal the pastry, forming a small pocket. Let the shaped pastries sit for an additional 15 minutes before cooking.

Step 3

Prepare the Filling

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender. Once cooked, drain and mash them in a bowl.

In a skillet, heat some butter over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then, add 6-7 chopped mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and any moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and combine this mixture with the mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Cook the Pastries

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the pastries on both sides until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side.

If you prefer to bake the pastries, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the pastries with a mixture of the egg yolk and milk before baking for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
