Echpochmak for your loved one

Echpochmak is a dish created by Turkic nomads to restore strength during their travels. The secret to its satiety is in the meat filling and broth, which is poured through a hole in the top of the pie. This dish will please any man, and therefore it is very important to know how to cook it. But you can also make a dietary version of echpochmak with mushroom or exclusively potato filling.

How to cook Echpochmak for your loved one

Step 1

Echpochmak for your loved one

Make the dough. Mix the yeast with the flour. Then grind the margarine and add it to the flour, mixing thoroughly. Add salt and sugar. Then beat the egg and pour it in, gradually kneading the dough. Cover it with a towel and put it in a dry place for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Step 3

Make the pies. Divide the dough into small pieces, roll each into a flat pancake and put the filling on it. Fold the edges of the dough to the center to form a triangle, but leave a hole in the middle.

Step 4

Prepare the echpochmaks. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place the pies on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 30 minutes until the dough is golden brown.

Echpochmak for your loved one - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute butter for margarine in equal amounts for a richer flavor. Just ensure it's cold and grated for easy incorporation.
For a vegetarian echpochmak, replace the meat with mushrooms, lentils, or textured vegetable protein (TVP) for a similar hearty texture.
Yes! Freeze unbaked pies on a tray before transferring to a bag. To bake, add 5-10 extra minutes straight from frozen. Baked echpochmaks can also be frozen and reheated at 160°C until warm.
Store cooled echpochmaks in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 5 days refrigerated. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
Absolutely! Adjust dough portion sizes accordingly. For mini echpochmaks, bake for 20-25 minutes; for larger ones, extend to 35-40 minutes, checking doneness.
Handle the dough minimally and keep ingredients cold. Over-kneading develops gluten, making it tough. Letting it rest ensures tenderness.
Yes, store-bought puff pastry or pie dough works in a pinch. Roll slightly thicker to hold the filling and adjust baking time as needed.
Serve with sour cream, pickled vegetables, or a light salad. A warm bowl of soup also complements these savory pies beautifully.
Pat diced potatoes and meat dry before mixing, or add 1 tbsp breadcrumbs to absorb excess moisture. Overly juicy fillings can make dough soggy.
