How to make Ossetian meat pie (fydchin): Sift wheat flour.

In the middle, make a depression, pour in warm water or milk, drive in an egg, add soda, salt.

Knead the not-so-cool dough. Let stand for 20-30 minutes. Rinse before cutting.

Make the mince. Chop fatty beef meat very finely.

Peel and finely chop the onions.

Peel and crush the garlic.

Add chopped onions, garlic, salt, black ground or red (better) pepper to the meat. Mix.

Pour in the stock or water. If the meat is very fatty, do not add much water.

Divide the dough into two unequal parts, given that the cake for the bottom layer should be wider and thicker. Approximate ratio: 1 third and 2 thirds.

Roll out the lower cake (from a larger piece of dough) 0. 5 cm thick.

Grease the pan or shape with oil.

Put the dough on a greased frying pan to cover its edges. Then place the minced meat evenly throughout the pan.

Roll out the second cake 0. 2-0. 3 cm thick.

Make curly cuts in the middle of the top cake.

Then cover the pan with it and run it around the edges with a rolling pin, cutting off the excess dough. It is good to pinch the edges of the pie so that the liquid does not leak out.

Heat the oven to 190 degrees. Bake Ossetian pie with meat in a highly heated oven. In the middle of baking, pour 2-3 tbsp. spoons of broth or hot water through the holes into the pie. In the preparation of fydchin, it is important that the juice does not drain when baking, otherwise the pie will be spoiled. In total, it takes 30-35 minutes to bake the pie.
