   How to make delicious pies with sorrel? You should start preparing the dish by preparing the ingredients for the filling. The sorrel must be rinsed well in cold water. We cut off the hard legs from it. For the filling we only need sorrel leaves. We do not cut them very finely, since due to heat treatment the leaves are greatly reduced in size.

   Now we need to pour boiling water over the sorrel. 30-40 seconds will be enough for us. During this time, the leaves will be able to boil a little. Drain the water. After this, you will be able to see how much the size of the sorrel has decreased. Squeeze the leaves with your hands. To completely rid them of excess moisture, use paper towels. The sorrel leaves themselves are very moist and juicy. Therefore, we do not need additional liquid inside the pies. This amount of filling is enough for 6 pies.
3. 
   Let's move on to preparing the test. Pour kefir into a deep container and add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix the mixture using a whisk. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of soda to the kefir and butter mixture. Mix the future dough thoroughly again. The taste of soda should not be noticeable.

   The flour must be sifted. We begin to introduce it in small portions into our dough. Mix it thoroughly. The dough should be very soft. Check that it does not stick to your hands and is easy to knead. Please note that the weight of flour indicated in the ingredients is always approximate. It is necessary to monitor the consistency of the dough. If it is liquid, you can add more sifted flour. However, if it has already become like a stone, then you cannot make it more liquid. You just have to throw this dough away.

   Once the dough is kneaded, leave it to stand for 15 minutes. It is advisable to cover the dough with a towel. You can also use cling film.

   Place the pan on medium heat. Generously grease it with vegetable oil. Place the pies in the pan. Fry them on both sides for 3 minutes. The pies should become golden brown. Do not increase the heat to maximum. In this case, they will burn very quickly, but will not be baked inside.

Mix the resulting mass thoroughly so that it eventually becomes homogeneous, without lumps. Place this mixture in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Do this with your hands or with a spoon. After this you can add yeast. Gradually introduce them into the dough, stirring it constantly.

3. Milk should be added to the dough in portions. This must be done until there is no dry flour left in the plate. Mix the mixture well after each added portion of milk. As a result, the dough should be soft and not very thick. Check that it holds its shape well. When the dough is kneaded, cover it with a towel, plate or cling film.

Cover the plate with cling film and leave the dough to ferment. At this time, it is recommended to stretch and fold the dough several times. As a result, this will affect its quality.

6. Sprinkle the table with flour. We put the dough on it, which should have come up at this point. This must be done very carefully so as not to pull it too much. Divide the dough into parts. You can simply tear off the pieces with your hands. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands too much, wet or dip them in flour. The size of the pieces will depend on what kind of pies you want to get. Our dough will make 17 pies.

7. We need to make each piece round. Cover the finished balls with cling film and let them stand for 7 minutes. During this time, we wash the sorrel in cold water. Squeeze it to remove excess moisture. Cut the sorrel leaves into medium-sized pieces. Transfer them to a plate and pour boiling water over them for 30 seconds. After this, we again remove excess moisture from the sorrel sheets using paper napkins. You should not mix the plant and sugar right away.If you do this in advance, the sorrel will begin to produce juice. As a result, the filling will be very wet. Roll out the dough ball thinly. Place a teaspoon of sugar in its center, and place sorrel on it, which we roll into a small lump in advance. Glue the edges of the dough together to form a pie.

8. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. We put our pies on it. Cover them with cling film and let stand for 30 minutes. After this, the pies must be greased with egg.
