How to make a chicken coop on margarine in the oven? Start cooking with the dough. How to make dough? Remove margarine from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Combine the eggs, salt, water and margarine. You can do it either with a mixer or with your hands. Then add the sifted flour and soda to the resulting mixture. Knead the dough. If the dough is sticky, add more flour, if too cool - water.

Knead the dough until smooth, uniform. If the consistency is correct, it will stop sticking to the hands. Form a ball from the dough. Wrap it in cling film or plastic bag. And for half an hour, put the dough "rest" in the refrigerator. During this time, the flour will absorb all the water, resulting in the development of gluten, which is responsible for elasticity. It will become easier to work with the test.

Prepare the filling. How to make a filling? Wash the chicken fillet, dry and cut into fairly small pieces. Wash the potatoes, peel and also finely chop them. You can grate it on a coarse grater. Peel and dice the bulb. Mix meat and vegetables. Add salt, spices, dried herbs, use them to taste. Stir. The filling is ready.

Remove the dough from the fridge, divide it into two parts. Roll out one part. You can prepare a kurnik of round, square or rectangular shape. I bake round. If you want to make the pie perfectly even, then cut out the circle using a plate or lid.

Cover the baking tray with baking parchment, transfer the cake bottom blank to it. Put the filling on the dough.

Roll out the second round of dough and cover the filling with it. Pinch the edges. You can make such a pigtail.

If you wish, you can decorate the pie with different figures. To do this, roll out small pieces of dough and use a knife to cut cuts on them.

To make the pie ruddy, brush it with a mixture of yolk and water.

Bake the pie in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 40-45 minutes. I recommend looking into the oven in half an hour. If the top of the pie browns a lot during this time, then you can cover it with foil. Thus, the filling will continue to prepare, and the top will not burn. Remove the finished pie from the oven, cool a little. I usually cover the pastries with a towel and let them stand for half an hour. Then I serve on the table. Have a pleasant appetite!
