Kitchen appliances and utensils: a bowl for kneading dough, a sieve, a cutting board.

Ingredients

Step cooking

1. In a medium-sized bowl, pour 0.5 cups of vegetable oil. We bring water in an amount of 0.5 cup to a boil and add almost boiling water to a bowl of vegetable oil in a bowl.
   
2. Then add one or two pinches of salt to this mixture and mix everything thoroughly. Water must be hot. Sift wheat flour over a bowl. If you want to get a dough for pies with fruit filling, then it is better to make it tighter: take two and a half glasses of flour, since the fruits give off juice. If the filling is mushroom or potato, then the dough should be soft, so you can take two glasses of flour. In this case, the dough for the pies must be formed simply by stretching it with your hands, without a rolling pin.
   
3. When sifting flour, add one teaspoon of baking powder to it. Now with our hands knead the dough first in a bowl, then put it on a cutting board, knead well.
   
4. We return the dough to a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or cling film, let it rest for about half an hour.
   
5. After half an hour, the dough became uniform, soft and supple, because the flour gave its gluten. You can begin to form pies.
