  • 1 large egg, for the dough
  • 60 g (4 tbsp) butter, melted
  • 1 kg (2 lb) green cabbage, cored and finely shredded

  • 4 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and chopped

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Stir the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt together in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the warm milk, egg and melted butter. Mix to a soft dough that barely sticks.

  3. 3

    Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 min until smooth. Cover and leave in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, heat the sunflower oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, 4-5 min.

  5. 5

    Add the cabbage, 1 tsp salt and the pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage is soft and has lost most of its liquid, 20-25 min.

  6. 6

    Cool the cabbage completely, then fold in the boiled eggs and the dill. A hot or wet filling makes the dough soggy.

  7. 7

    Heat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment.

  8. 8

    Cut the dough into two pieces, one slightly larger. Roll the larger piece into a rectangle about 30 x 35 cm (12 x 14 in) and lay it on the baking sheet.

  9. 9

    Spread the filling over it, leaving a 2 cm (3/4 in) border.

  10. 10

    Roll the second piece a little larger than the filling and lay it on top. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal.

  11. 11

    Cover and leave for 20-30 min until puffy. Cut 3 small steam vents in the top.

  12. 12

    Brush all over with the yolk and milk mixture.

  13. 13

    Bake until deep golden, 35-40 min. Cool on the sheet for 15 min before slicing.
