👨‍🍳 Οδηγίες

1. 1

   For the dough: Warm the milk slightly. Crumble the fresh yeast into a portion of the warm milk with sugar. Stir until dissolved, add a pinch of flour, cover, and let it activate in a warm place until it rises.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Ensure the milk is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, the remaining milk, and oil. Knead by hand or with a mixer until a smooth, medium-thick dough forms. It should not be sticky.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Add flour gradually if the dough is too sticky.
3. 3

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in volume.

   For the filling: Peel, dice, and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them thoroughly. Stir in the grated hard cheese, salt, dried dill, and ground black pepper. Mix well.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Using a potato ricer will ensure a smoother mash.
5. 5

   Grease a baking sheet (approx. 39x29 cm or 15x11 inches). Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half into a rectangle the size of the baking sheet. Carefully transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Use a rolling pin to help transfer the dough without tearing.
6. 6

   Spread the potato and cheese filling evenly over the dough on the baking sheet, leaving a small border.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Ensure the filling is spread to the edges for even flavor distribution.
7. 7

   Roll out the second half of the dough to the same size as the first. Carefully place it over the filling. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom dough layers together to seal.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Press firmly to ensure a good seal, preventing the filling from leaking.
8. 8

   Brush the top of the pastry with melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
