Cabbage Belyashi
These cabbage belyashi are so fluffy and soft! Belyashi are stuffed fried yeast buns and these are filled with cabbage.

- 4 cups warm water
- 2 tbsp yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 7 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oil, for frying
Instructions
How to make fried Belyashi:
- Stir all ingredients (except oil) together to form a tacky dough. Cover and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
- Scoop out dough into 1/4 cup balls onto a lightly watered (or floured) surface.
- Spoon a tablespoon of filling into the center. With wet hands gather the sides and bring up to the top.
- Lightly pat down and fry in hot oil a few minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.
Notes
To make Ponchiki with this dough: scoop dough out by the tablespoon and fill the center with any sweet filling. Gather sides and bring to top to form a ball. Fry.
