Lenten mushroom pie can be cooked at any time of the year and regardless of religious beliefs: everyone who has tried it likes this dish. Pay attention to an interesting way to work with the dough, proposed in our recipe. There is nothing complicated in it, but it differs from the traditional one. A similar technology is used in bread baking when preparing sourdough dough, thanks to which it rises perfectly, and products from it turn out to be more magnificent and airy. We tested this technology in action on our Lean Mushroom Pie and confirm that it works great with yeast base as well. Want to see for yourself?

Do the whole operation with folding and “resting” the dough two more times. Put the dough in an oiled bag, twist the end of the bag and put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
