  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (168 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 33 g Milk, whole
  • 1 g Yeast, active dry
  • 3 g Sugar
  • 40 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 8 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 11 g Butter, unsalted
  • 60 g Potatoes, floury, raw
  • 12 g Sour cream

Method

  1. Warm most of the milk until lukewarm, keeping a splash for the potato, stir in the yeast and sugar and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the flour, half the egg, most of the salt and a third of the butter, melted, and knead for 8 minutes into a soft, smooth dough; cover and leave to rise for 1 hour, until doubled.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the peeled potato for 20 minutes until soft, drain and mash it with the milk you kept, a third of the butter and the rest of the salt, then beat in the rest of the egg.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and press or roll it into a round 10-12 cm across, a little thicker at the rim, and set it on a lined tray.
  5. Spread the mashed potato over the round, leaving the rim bare, brush it with the sour cream and leave to rise for 15 minutes.
  6. Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes, until the dough is golden and the topping has brown patches.
  7. Brush the hot shangi with the rest of the butter, melted, cover with a cloth for 10 minutes to soften, and serve warm with milk or tea; shangi come from the Russian North, the Urals and Siberia.
