This recipe comes from a Slovak friend who makes them every Christmas and Easter. Delicious!

This dough is very easy to work with. If it is too soft, just chill for a little while.

3 1/2 cups flour
2 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup scalded milk
1 pkg dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup margarine or butter
2 Tblsp. sugar

Soften yeast iin warm water with a pinch of sugar. Scald milk, add margarine and sugar and let cool. Mix flour and salt. Mix in wet ingredients. Scrape together, place in greased bowl, lightly grease top, cover with saran wrap and let raise until double, about 1 hour. Punch down, turn out on floured countertop and knead very slightly until it is a cohesive dough. You can let it double again or just start to work with it.

Now for the fun! Cut into 4 or 6 parts. Roll part out into a 1/2" thick round. Fill with a mashed potato/cheese filling. Or fried cabbage/mushroom or any of the fillings you mention. Fill to within a 1/2" of the edge. Roll out another circle and place over the first. Pinch edges together. Roll again as thin as you like or can manage. (My friend always considered it a challenge to make it as thin as possible.) Brush with butter and prick with fork. Place on greased cookie sheet, oven temp 350. Bake until browned and done. Maybe 15 minutes or so? Cut into wedges. A pizza cutter is good for this.

Hope this is clear enough.
