Samsa on kefir

Samsa made with kefir turns out especially fluffy and tasty. Kefir causes fermentation, increasing the viscosity and plasticity of the dough, increases the leavening effect of soda or yeast. For the filling, use sour apples and hard pears. A sure criterion of quality is the density of the fruit. If the pear is overripe or spoiled, it will be soft and pliable. The color of a good pear cannot be completely uniform, characteristic brown specks on the skin often give a more intense aroma.

Replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tbsp ground seeds + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use a plant-based yogurt instead of kefir. For brushing, use almond milk or a light syrup.
Store cooled samsas in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
Yes, you can freeze unbaked samsa by placing them on a tray until solid, then transferring to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes. Baked samsa can also be frozen and reheated.

Absolutely! Try minced meat, pumpkin, or even a savory cheese filling. Adjust seasoning and cooking time as needed for different fillings.
