Ingredients

Step cooking

1. At the beginning of cooking the mass with pumpkin, knead the dough. To do this, dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in 175 ml of warm water. Sift 250 g of flour into a deep bowl, pour water and knead the dough. Knead first with a spoon, then with your hands until the flour takes all the water into itself. Sprinkle the working surface with flour, spread the dough and knead for 5-7 minutes until a supple, flexible mass is obtained. We form a ball of dough, sprinkle flour on top. Cover with a bowl and leave to rest on demand. At this time, we will do the stuffing.
   
2. We peel 400 g of pumpkin, rinse, cut into small cubes. The smaller the cubes, the tastier the filling. Send the pumpkin into a deep bowl.
   
3. We peel two onions, rinse, cut into small cubes and send to the pumpkin. To make samsa juicy, we need 100 g of lamb fat. If you do not have lamb, use beef or pork fat without peel. Cut the fat into small cubes, send to the already chopped ingredients.
   
4. Add one teaspoon of ground coriander to the filling, half a teaspoon of red pepper. And be sure to add black pepper and salt to taste. We recommend making the filling a little salted. During baking, the pumpkin absorbs spices, and the taste normalizes. Stir the filling and go to the test.
   
5. During this time, it became elastic, supple. We send the working surface with flour, spread the dough. Knead with your hands, form a cake. Then we roll out the dough with a rolling pin 2-3 mm thick. Melt in a microwave or water bath 50 g of butter, let it cool slightly and lubricate the entire surface of the dough evenly.
   
6. Now you need to roll the dough into a tight roll. We begin to carefully roll it from the bottom up. Sprinkle flour on top of the roll and fold the snail. We put it on a plate and send it to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
   
7. Then we take out the dough, unwind it again with an even roll, fold it in half, and make an incision on the bend. Then divide the knife into 8 parts. Thanks to these manipulations, we get ready-made pieces of mass of the same size. Now take each piece of dough and crush it with your hand vertically. This is important so that as a result we get beautiful layers of dough with a pattern. We can immediately divide the filling into eight parts, so that the same amount goes to each samsa.
   
8. Roll out thin cakes from the dough. In the middle we put 1/8 of the filling. Raise the edges of the dough and connect them in the center. Then, pinch the edges of the dough over the filling. Thus we get samsa in the shape of a triangle. Turn over and put so far on a work surface or a cutting board, sprinkled with flour. We repeat such manipulations with the whole test and filling. How to form blanks, look at the photo.
   
9. We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper, lay out the semi-finished products.Add a little water to the egg yolk, mix. Using a silicone brush with this solution, lubricate the surface of the workpieces. For beauty, we can sprinkle black and / or white sesame seeds on top.
   
10. We send to the oven and bake at a temperature of 180 degrees 30 minutes. Then we get it, put it on a serving plate and serve.
