Step cooking
Cooking dough
- Melt 50 g of butter in a water bath or microwave. Heat the milk to a temperature of 37 degrees. In a convenient bowl we combine 170 g of warm milk and melted butter.

- Add here 7 g of dry yeast and one teaspoon of salt and sugar.

- We beat one chicken egg and mix with a whisk until smooth.

- Then sift 400 g of flour, add it to the liquid mixture, mix with a wooden spatula.

- Then, with our hands, we knead an elastic, soft dough, form a ball out of it, put it in a bowl, cover with a towel, let it come within 1 hour.

- After this time, lay out the dough on a work surface, divide it into two equal parts.

- We put one part on a sheet of parchment paper, roll out a round, thin sheet.

- Using a plate with a diameter of 26 cm, we make an even, round shape.

- From the second part of the test we make the same round sheet. Let’s leave them a bit to come up, and we’ll do the stuffing ourselves.

Cooking stuffing
- We take a deep bowl, rub in it on a fine grater 100 g of cheese.

- Sprinkle with grated cheese the first round layer of dough, spread over the entire surface with a thin, uniform layer, leaving the edges free.

- Peel the onion, rinse, cut into small cubes, fry in vegetable oil until soft.

- Add 250 g of minced meat to the onion. I used pork and beef, you can choose any at your discretion.

- Stir, let the meat let out the juice and add half a teaspoon of salt, pepper and Provence herbs. We continue to simmer the filling until fully cooked over medium heat.

We collect, bake a pie
- Remove the meat from the stove, let it cool, lay in the middle of the slide on a layer of dough with cheese.

- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolk and grease them with a silicone brush on the free edges of the dough layer.

- We put the second layer of dough on top, connect the edges of the upper and lower, just flattened.

- Select the meat hill. How to do it right, look at the photo.

- Then cut the edges into strips of 3 cm wide.

- Turn all the cut parts up clockwise. This way your cake will look like a sunflower.

- Lubricate the center of the cake with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle 20 g of poppy seeds.

- We transfer the workpiece along with parchment paper onto a baking sheet, with the egg yolk, grease the developed edges of the sunflower, without affecting the filling.

- Send to the oven, preheated to 190 degrees for 30 minutes, bake until golden brown. Then we get it out of the oven, let it cool.

- Cut into portions so that everyone gets meat filling and a sunflower petal.
