How to cook deliciously - Onion pie with sauerkraut
1. Stage
Sift the flour, mix with salt, sugar and yeast. Pour water and corn (sunflower refined) oil to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough.
2. Stage
The dough should be quite dense, but not clogged with flour, soft and pliable. Put the dough in a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover with clingfilm and leave in the heat to rise for 35-40 minutes.
3. Stage
While the dough is cooking prepare the filling. Cut the onion into half rings and fry in well heated vegetable oil on high heat until brown, stirring constantly. (The weight of the peeled vegetable is given)
4. Stage
Add the sauerkraut to the pan, pour in water, and stir. Close the pan with a lid, turn down the heat to medium and stew the vegetables for 10-12 minutes. Then add the bacon slices to the vegetables, stir and cook the stuffing for another five minutes. (until the liquid evaporates) Bacon here is more for flavor than for taste. It can be replaced with ham or smoked chicken. If you leave out the meat part, it makes a great lean cake. Cool the filling.
5. Stage
On a floured work surface, place the proofed dough, crumple and roll out into a layer about 25*40 cm in size. Visually divide it lengthwise into two parts. Cut one part into strips. (1 cm thick) The number of strips should be a multiple of three.
6. Stage
Braid strips of dough into loose braids. (a very exciting thing to do!)
7. Stage
Place the cooled filling evenly on the second part (in the middle) of the dough.
8. Stage
Wrap the filling in the dough, pressing it tightly.
9. Stage
Gently wrap the pie in plaits. (Roll it up) Shape the pie into a horseshoe (or kalach)
10. Stage
Transfer the cake to a baking tray lined with baking paper, a silicone sheet, or a teflon sheet. You can roll out the dough immediately and shape it on the baking sheet or mat. Cover the cake with a thin towel or napkin and leave to rise in the heat for 20 minutes. Drizzle with water. (Or smear with milk.) You can sprinkle the pie with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or dried herbs. (Provençal herbs, for example)
11. Stage
Bake the pie in a preheated 180° oven for 23-25 minutes until brown. Always keep in mind the peculiarities of your technique. Cool the finished pie on a rack. All done!
