Vareniki - products made from boiled unleavened dough stuffed with meat, potatoes, fruits, berries or any other products. It is believed that vareniki is a dish invented in Ukraine and therefore is considered truly national. However, in principle, by their nature, dumplings are not something unique. If you look closely, it is easy to see a lot of similar dough products in Russian, Chinese or Italian cuisine. The variety is really impressive: big ones, small ones, ear-shaped and crescent-shaped, stuffed with raw and cooked minced meat, etc. So, as you can see, there are many options for every taste and pocket, right up to the crab filling. Well, we will be traditional and choose for ourselves dumplings with meat and their recipe with a very original yeast-based dough. It does not tear, does not boil soft, and definitely will not be tough and tasteless. But about the recipe further, but for now a few words about the benefits of the dish.

Obviously, dumplings will not bring much benefit to our figure, because dough products are somehow dangerous with extra pounds. That is why we recommend cooking them not so often and feasting on them with pleasure only, so to speak, on occasion. As for the benefits, first let's talk about the filling, since it still occupies a central place in the dish. The harm and benefits of meat have not yet been fully studied. Some trumpet that its regular use can lead to serious diseases up to oncology. Others, at the same time, argue that without meat, the body ages much faster. Perhaps we can only agree with the fact that it is important how this meat is cooked. In our case, cooking was used, which means the safest and most useful way. Better only for a couple, but this option is hardly applicable to meat for dumplings. But the dough for our dumplings with meat, we decided to use yeast. It is the most practical and at the same time quite simple to prepare, as you will immediately see.
