Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water with 1 tbsp of the flour. Leave for 10-15 min, until foamy.

2. 2

   Mix the remaining flour with 1/2 tsp of the salt. Add the yeast mixture and oil, then stir into a dough.

3. 3

   Knead on a floured counter for 8-10 min, until smooth and no longer sticky.

4. 4

   Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and leave in a warm spot for 1-1 1/2 hours, until doubled.

5. 5

   Melt half the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and translucent, 5-6 min. Let it cool.

6. 6

   Mix the cooled onion with the salmon, dill, pepper and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt.

7. 7

   Punch the dough down and divide it into 6 equal balls.

8. 8

   Roll each ball into a round about 14 cm (5 1/2 in) wide. Spoon the filling along the center, leaving 2 cm (3/4 in) of dough bare all around.

9. 9

   Pinch the two ends together and press the sides up so each pie is a boat shape with the filling showing in the middle. Set them on a lined baking tray.

10. 10

    Cover and leave to rise for 15 min. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).

11. 11

    Brush the dough with the beaten egg and put a small piece of the remaining butter on each filling.

12. 12

    Bake for 20-25 min, until the dough is deep golden and the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.

13. 13

    Rest the pies under a clean towel for 5 min. Serve warm with cups of hot broth on the side.
