2. Sift all the flour into the dough except for 1 tbsp. spoon, which is useful for the last stage of kneading. First, combine the composition with a spoon, not forgetting to pour vegetable oil.
3. Here, in a bowl, knead the dough with your hand, roll it into a ball and place it in an oiled, clean dish, leaving it warm under a towel.
4. In the meantime, grind the meat, combine it with small pieces of sweet pepper.
5. Season with paprika, pepper, salt.

7. Dust the table with flour, dump the dough here and knead it a little. Separate a small piece for decoration (you can not do this), and roll out the main part into a circle, slightly larger than the diameter of the form.
8. Line the form with oiled parchment – so the cake can be obtained without problems. Transfer the rolled cake here and lay the minced meat, lifting and pulling the edges of the dough.
9. Bend the sides inward, laying on the filling. Press down the edges.
10. If desired, you can decorate the cake, thereby creating an autumn mood. Cut out maple leaves from a piece of dough using the template.
11. Put them on the pie.
12. To give the crust a ruddy gloss, grease the surface with yolk.
