It is not necessary to use only ground beef, you can replace it with pork or mixed.
Select and modify the ratio of meat to cabbage according to your personal preference and the preferences of your family.
You can prepare the dough in advance and keep it in the refrigerator overnight, covering it with foil on top. The plate in which you will store the dough must be greased with a small amount of vegetable oil.
It is impossible to imagine Russian cuisine without fluffy and rosy pastries. In the modern world, ovens have been successfully replaced by Russian ovens, and the fillings have become more diverse. They are prepared simple or complex from vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, fruits, berries. The dough for baking is prepared with yeast, unleavened without yeast and flaky. Vegetables go well with meat, they contain a lot of water, the filling with vegetables will never be dry. The meat can be minced or finely minced, it complements the taste, makes the filling nourishing and tasty. Pies with cabbage and meat in the oven from yeast dough are lush and very juicy.
The key to the success of any baking is fresh products and strict adherence to the step-by-step cooking instructions. 100% yeast dough will turn out if you use premium wheat flour for cooking and pre-knead the dough.
The yeast preparation is kneaded in water or milk. Dough that has not foamed can no longer be used. The reasons for this may be stale yeast or a high temperature of the liquid on which the dough is placed.
Pies with meat and cabbage turn out to be juicy and tasty if a piece of pork is with a small layer of bacon.
First way:
Cut a piece of pork into 2 parts, boil for 1 hour in salted water with bay leaves and a pinch of ground pepper. Cool the boiled pork, mince it or grind it in a blender.
Second way:
Chilled or defrosted pork is passed through a meat grinder, salt and pepper.
Unleavened dough, unlike yeast dough, does not need to be aged; it is used immediately after preparation. Baking from it turns out delicious, but not as fluffy as from yeast. It is prepared with water, sour cream, kefir and milk. Flavored baked goods with a crispy crust are made from puff pastry, but the home cooking process is laborious, so it is easier to buy it frozen in the store. Cook with pleasure and please your loved ones.
You can also bake pies, kulebyaki or pies with potatoes, mushrooms, onions and eggs, rice or fish.
To make pies, we need:
For meat pies
For pies with cabbage

Let's start cooking, first we will prepare the fillings.
For the meat filling, I ground the minced meat, I have beef, but you can use any meat or poultry, and now we cut one large onion into small cubes.
To prepare stewed cabbage, we will prepare the following products:
Cut the onion into small cubes.
Rub the carrots on a coarse grater.
Cut the sweet bell pepper into thin strips.
Add finely chopped hot peppers if desired.
I took fresh ones, cut them into pieces to grind in a blender.
You can grind them in a meat grinder or even replace them with ready-made tomato paste or puree, as well as use any tomato sauce.
It remains to chop the cabbage, which we cut into not very long thin strips.
All products are prepared, we go to the stove to prepare both fillings.
We install two pans on the stove, heat them up and pour in vegetable oil.
Pour in the chopped onion and fry until slightly golden brown.
Add the carrots to the pan where we will simmer the cabbage and fry it together with the onion until soft.
Then add chopped sweet and hot peppers and fry all the vegetables for a couple of minutes.
Pour in tomato puree and mix well.
In the meantime, in the pan in which we prepare the meat filling, put the minced meat on the well-fried onion, mix everything thoroughly and cover with a lid so that the meat is stewed well.
Along the way, we monitor the minced meat, stirring it periodically and, if necessary, kneading the meat lumps.
You can add a little water or broth to the minced meat and let it simmer under the lid so that the meat is completely cooked.
At the end of cooking, add salt and pepper to both pans to taste, and add a spoonful of sugar to the cabbage filling.
Both fillings are ready.
Lightly grind the finished minced meat in a blender to make the filling more uniform.
But you don't need to do this.
Before molding the pies, you need to let the fillings cool completely, put them in separate bowls and while they cool down, let's do the dough.
I showed how to make butter yeast dough for these pies in a separate video ️ https://youtu.be/4NuY7d0D5Hs
Sprinkle the work surface with flour and put the finished dough on it.
Cut off a strip of dough from the edge, divide into equal pieces weighing about 40 grams. and roll up even balls with our palms, laying them out with the smooth side on the table.
But there is another way of making such balls, I personally like this option more.
How I do it, see the VIDEO.
Sprinkle the prepared balls with flour and roll out small cakes from them.
You can roll each one separately or, in my case, several at once.
Put the filling in the middle of each cake and pinch the dough from opposite sides to give the cake the shape of a "boat".
This method of sculpting is considered the simplest and most common, although there are many other interesting and unusual methods.
Place the patties, seam down, on a greased baking sheet, parchment paper, or a silicone mat.
Do not stack the pies too tightly to each other, so that when baking they do not stick together, but turn out to be ruddy on all sides.
And now we will prepare the ice cream, with which we will grease the surface of the pies at the end of the proofing before baking.
To do this, beat the egg into a small bowl, beat it slightly with a fork, add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of milk and mix well, the ice is ready.
We send baking trays with pies to a warm place without drafts for proofing so that they slightly increase in volume.
In the meantime, the meat pies are suitable, let's prepare the cabbage pies.
We repeat all the same actions.
The only difference is that I will cook cabbage pies in the form of triangles.
To do this, we pinch the edges of the cake on three sides so that a triangle is formed, and immediately turn the cakes over with the seam down.
Meanwhile, the meat pies came up, they were proofed for 20 minutes.
Lubricate them with prepared lezon.
And I also wanted to sprinkle them with sesame seeds.
Place the trays in a well-preheated oven at 180-200 ° C (356-392 ° F) and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Then we take them out of the oven, and while they are still hot, grease with melted butter.
And now we lay out pies with cabbage on baking sheets, grease them with a lion and send them to the oven.
The baking time always depends on the size, shape of the product and the richness of the dough.
Small, short and lightly baked items are baked faster than large, tall ones with a lot of baked goods.
After 20 minutes, we take out the cabbage pies from the oven and also grease with melted butter, which will give them a pleasant creamy aroma and make them softer.
Our pies with cabbage and meat made from yeast dough are ready!
They turned out to be beautiful, soft, lush, very tasty, with a golden crust.
From one portion of the dough, depending on the size, it turns out from 30 to 40 pies.
I made a double portion of the dough, and in the end I got 66 pieces.
Delicious homemade pastry pies are perhaps one of the best options for both sweet and savory pastries.
Let me remind you that a link to a video recipe for making dough for these pies ️ https://youtu.be/4NuY7d0D5Hs
I wish you all Bon appetit!

Cabbage and meat are a magnificent combination, which can be both the main course and the filling for various baked goods. In this article, you will find simple step-by-step recipes for pies with minced meat and cabbage, as well as several options for filling from these products.
Eh, I remember buying similar pies in one place for a long time. They were greasy, spicy. After training, several of them flew in at a time. Then, the quality got worse, but I thought: why not cook them at home.
Pan-fried yeast and cabbage. Minced meat is suitable for any: pork, beef, mixed. The main thing is that it is as natural as possible, without soy and foreign impurities.
Ideally, of course, buy a solid piece of meat, and then twist it in a meat grinder at home.
Ingredients:
How to cook
Let's start with the test. It is by leaps and bounds and takes time to proof.
Stir sugar and yeast in warm water. Wait about 10-15 minutes until foam appears.
Now add salt, a few tablespoons of oil and a little flour there. Stir, stir. Add a little flour again, mix until the mass becomes thicker. Add the remaining flour and knead with your hands. The dough should be soft, but not too sticky. Otherwise, you can add more flour.
Now the dough should be infused for 30-40 minutes. The longer you wait, the more magnificent it will be. But you shouldn't wait more than an hour, as the yeast is dry and quickly loses its strength.
Moving on to the cabbage and meat filling
To make the pies cook quickly, the filling components are heat treated in advance.
Pour some oil into a frying pan and fry the minced meat over medium heat until it brightens. Add the chopped onion and fry for another 5 minutes.
Finely chop the cabbage, mix with another chopped onion and fry over medium heat in oil (a few spoons) for 10 minutes. First, simmer under the lid, then remove it, reduce the heat and simmer for another 5-10 minutes. The cabbage should be soft but not crumbly. Salt and pepper at your discretion, but I always add!
Now you need to combine and mix the fried minced meat and stewed cabbage. The filling is ready!
Modeling and frying
Lightly sprinkle the table with flour. Knead the dough and divide into several sausages. We cut them into small pieces, which we then roll out with a rolling pin.
Put 1-2 tablespoons of the filling in each circle or oval. We wrap it in any convenient way.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, place the pies with the seams down and fry on both sides until a delicious crust.
This is another recipe for pies with meat and cabbage, also with yeast, but here the filling is slightly different. Well, the dough is different too. These pies are less nutritious and healthier (less fat and carcinogens).
Ready-made dough from the store will also do (1.5 kg is enough). And for more variety, you can choose from a huge selection. Be sure to check it out!
Ingredients:
How to cook
Add yeast and sugar to warm milk. After 15 minutes add butter, egg and salt. Mix. Add flour gradually and stir constantly. Knead with your hands until smooth. Leave the dough alone for 35 minutes.
Making the filling
Fry the minced meat in oil until half cooked. If a lot of liquid has formed, then it must be drained or evaporated.
Chop the cabbage with onions and herbs, transfer to a separate pan and simmer until the vegetables are softer (15 minutes). Salt, pepper, add tomato paste and simmer for another 3 minutes.
Stir the cabbage mass with the meat mass.
Bake pies
Pinch off small pieces from the dough, roll them out and put 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each. Pin up, pinch the seams and place the pies on a baking sheet.
We turn on the oven, heat it up to 180 degrees, and then close the pies in it for 25-30 minutes. We are waiting for them to turn rosy.
Delicious meat and cabbage pies on puff pastry. They cook faster, since we take the dough already ready.
Puff and cabbage, in my opinion, take the first place in taste in this selection of recipes.
Ingredients:
Preparation
Yes, if you grease the pies with butter or whipped egg yolk, they will be more ruddy and appetizing.
Here I will briefly share several options for the toppings. In addition to what went above, you can come up with many more interesting and tasty. I do not specifically mention the quantity, proportions, and obvious steps. Just helpful ideas.
