Chebureks are insanely delicious pastries, where the thinnest dough is so tender and soft that it just melts in your mouth. Preparing the dough is quite simple and fast.
The plus of the test is that there is no need to wait until it "settles" - you can cook immediately after kneading. Usually they knead the dough in plain water or milk, but the kefir chebureks turn out to be especially tasty, regardless of the filling used.
What to do with kefir chebureks
Stuffing for pasties on kefir can be absolutely anyone.
• The most favorite is meat filling: meat (pork, beef, chicken, turkey) is twisted in a meat grinder or finely chopped with a knife, mixed with chopped onions, add salt, pepper, other spices to taste, pour water or broth for juiciness and thoroughly knead.
• Cheese filling: take hard cheese, rub it on a fine grater. Here, to taste, you can add any chopped greens.

How to sculpt chebureks on kefir
Most often, cheburek has a semicircular shape. The easiest way is to roll out the prepared dough with a layer, then cut the cakes out of it, applying a plate of the required diameter. You can immediately divide the dough into small balls and immediately roll them with a thin cake.
Next, put a small amount of filling on half the cakes, spread it and cover it with the second part of the dough. Carefully pinch the edges in any convenient way, the main thing is very tight, so that during frying the dough does not disperse, and the juice of the fillings does not leak.

Chefureks on kefir - tricks and useful tips
• Yeast is never added to the pastry dough; the highlight of this dish is not only in the filling, but also in the thinnest, unleavened dough.
• The dough for pasties on kefir can be made with or without eggs. If you still decide to add them when mixing, it is better not to use more than specified in the recipe, otherwise the dough will turn out harsh and like rubber.
• Be sure to store more flour than indicated in the recipe. The fact is that you will need it when rolling, and flour can be of different grades, quality, grinding, and for the desired consistency a little more or less flour may be needed.
• Kefir chebureks always turn out delicious, the dough is pimply and tender, but it does not hurt to fry the products a couple of times with boiling oil in which they are fried.
• Adding literally one or two teaspoons of sugar to the dough, you will achieve a beautiful golden crust. You should not overdo it, the dough will quickly fry, and the filling will remain damp, of course, if it was not already ready.
• Chebureks will turn out to be beautiful and appetizing if their edges are not just plucked, but decorated with cloves of a fork, slightly pressing on the connected edges.
• It is necessary to fry pasties on kefir in well-warmed oil.
• A method of preparation can also make beautiful, rosy chebureks: roasting not in a pan, but in a deep fryer.
• When frying pasties, be careful, the oil is very hot and can splatter and burn you. Turn products over to make sure your hands are completely dry.
• Be sure to transfer pasties to paper napkins after frying, they will absorb excess oil.
• To make kefir chebureks especially tasty and juicy, do not forget to add broth, water, sour cream, milk to the filling (depending on the type of filling).
• If already finished chebureks have turned out a bit harsh, do not worry. Fold the items in a pan in a stack and cover with a lid. Literally after 10-15 minutes of standing, it will become limp and become tender.
