Yeast dough pies with chicken and olives will pleasantly surprise you with their original taste. And even if you are one of those who regularly indulge loved ones with hearty pastries, this is probably the first time you have come across such a recipe. There is nothing extraordinary in preparing the dough for pies directly. But the stuffing is worth special mention. It is based on boiled chicken fillet, which is complemented by black and green olives. Just please don't cook it too long or the filling will be dry. If you do everything in accordance with the recipe, you will get just wonderful pies that can be served with broth, and as a snack, and with sweet tea.

How to cook Yeast dough chicken pies

Step 1

Prepare the pie dough. Sift flour with salt through a fine sieve into a bowl. Butter cut into cubes and melt. Pour the milk into a large saucepan and heat to 35°C. Remove from fire. Add sugar and stir.

Step 2

Pour dry yeast into a saucepan with milk. Stir and cover with a towel. Leave at room temperature for 15 minutes. The surface of the milk mixture should be covered with bubbles.

Step 3

Add the sifted flour and salt to the saucepan with the milk mixture. Mix thoroughly. Pour in the melted butter. Knead the pie dough for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball and cover with a clean towel. Leave in a warm place to proof (rise) for 1.5-2 hours. Then punch down the dough and let it rise again for 1-1.5 hours.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the pie filling. Boil the chicken fillet in lightly salted water (20 minutes), let cool and finely chop. Cut the olives into rings. Combine with chicken, soft butter, salt and mix.

Step 6

Put the dough on the work table, dusted with flour. Divide into pieces weighing 50-70 g. Form them into balls, cover with a clean towel and leave for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 7

Mash the balls of dough into tortillas and spread the chicken filling over them. Shape into patties, sealing the edges carefully. Lay future pies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Leave for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Heat the oven to 200°C. Bake the pies for 30 minutes (if desired, brush them with a lightly beaten egg before placing in the oven). Let rest under a towel for 10 minutes, then serve.
