Pour 200 ml warm kefir (room temperature) into a small bowl, add 20 g fresh compressed yeast, and add 25 g sugar.
Step 3
Add 30 g wheat flour to the bowl.
Step 4
Mix everything until smooth and place the bowl in a warm spot for 15-20 minutes to activate the yeast.

Crack 1 egg into a large bowl, add 40 g melted butter, and mix well.
Step 6
Pour the activated yeast mixture into the egg-butter mixture.
Step 7
Mix everything until smooth.
Step 8
Sift 300 g wheat flour into the liquid base in portions and add 1 slightly scant teaspoon of salt.
Step 9
Mix and knead the dough; if needed, add a little more flour.
Step 10
Continue kneading the dough by hand in the bowl for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 11
Gather the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, grease with a little vegetable oil, cover with a kitchen towel, and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
Step 12
For the filling, finely chop 300 g onion, place it in a bowl, and add salt to taste.
Step 13
Mash the onion with a masher until it releases juice, then add dried herbs, cumin, and coriander to taste, and mix.

Add 500 g chicken fillet cut into pieces to the onion and spices.
Step 15
Add 400 g potatoes cut into small cubes and mix everything well.
Step 16
Add a black-and-red pepper mix to taste, mix again, and set the filling aside.

After the time has passed, place the risen dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
Step 18
Punch down and shape the dough, then divide it into a larger and a smaller piece.
Step 19
Press and roll the larger piece into a round about 2 mm thick.
Step 20
Wrap the round around a rolling pin, transfer it to a baking pan that has been greased with a little vegetable oil, and lay it in.
