Prepare the products.
The milk must be at room temperature. If necessary, heat it slightly (but no more than to 40 degrees).
Prepare yeast dough.
For this purpose we sift flour.
Pour milk in a large bowl.
Crumble yeast into the milk.
Separate egg yolks from whites. Set egg whites aside, they are not needed for yeast dough.
Pour sugar and salt into yolks. Whisk for 1-2 minutes.
Pour yolk mixture into milk with yeast. We mix it.
Pour half of flour. Stir it to make sure there are no lumps.
In portions we add remaining flour.
We also pour in vegetable oil in portions, kneading the dough with our hands.
Spread out the dough on a table and knead for 10 to 15 minutes.
Return the dough to a bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave for 40-50 minutes. Then knead the dough and let it rise again.
At this time we prepare the pancakes.
For this purpose beat 2 eggs in milk, add sugar, salt and vegetable oil.
We beat well with a whisk.
Straight into the liquid ingredients, sift flour in batches. After each addition of flour, stir the batter with a whisk.
There should be no lumps in the pancake batter. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.
Before the first pancake grease a hot frying pan with vegetable oil.
Pour a ladleful of pancake batter, distributing it in a pan. Bake each pancake for 1 minute on each side.
This amount of batter makes 8 pancakes.
Let's prepare toppings.
Buckwheat is washed, poured into a saucepan and pour 250 ml of water. We put the pot on heat and after boiling boil the buckwheat for 15 minutes.
Shred the dill.
Peel all the onions and dice them.
For the mushroom stuffing, heat a third of the vegetable oil in a frying pan and put the mushrooms. Fry for 5 minutes.
Add a third of the onions and continue to fry for another 5 minutes, stirring.
The mushroom stuffing is ready, we put it on a plate.
For the cabbage stuffing in a frying pan, heat half of the remaining vegetable oil and put half of the remaining onions in it. Fry 3-4 minutes, until golden.
Shred the cabbage finely.
Put the cabbage to the onion and fry until the liquid evaporates and becomes slightly golden.
Cabbage stuffing is ready, put it in a separate bowl.
Prepare stuffing of chicken hearts.
Wash the hearts, if necessary cut off membranes and veins. Pass the hearts through a meat grinder.
In a frying pan fry the rest of the onion in the remaining vegetable oil (3 minutes).
We put the hearts in a pan to the onions and fry until all liquid evaporates (5-7 minutes).
Stuffing of the hearts is ready, also put it into a bowl.
In the boiled buckwheat we put oil, dill and salt. We mix it.
We test, pepper with a mixture of red, white, sweet and black pepper and salt to taste all stuffing. Let them cool.
Spread dough on a table, dusted with flour, and knead. We divide it into three parts - two equal and one smaller.
Turn on the oven to preheat to 190 degrees in convection mode.
Cover the baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll out the first piece of dough into a 30x35 cm oval.
Transfer the layer of dough to the baking tray.
Place two overlapping pancakes along the edge of the kulebyaka.
Lay the first filling (I have fried hearts) on the pancakes lengthwise, closer to the edge.
We cover the filling with a free part of pancakes, wrapping.
We overlap, along the previous pair of pancakes, lay the next two pancakes. Fill mushrooms also put on one side of the pancakes and wrap.
Do the same with the next pair of pancakes: lay them along the previous stuffing, put the cabbage filling on one side and cover with the free side of the pancakes.
Place the last pancakes and buckwheat filling.
Roll out the second layer of dough the same size as the first.
Spread the layer of dough on the filling. Well peck the edges of the upper and lower layers of dough.
Dab the top of the pie and the patches with egg whites.
We use the third part of the dough for decoration. I rolled it out, made strips and cut out flowers. Decorate the kulebyaka to your liking. Once again, grease the surface of the loaf with egg whites.
Place kulebyaka in the oven for 25-30 minutes and bake at 190 degrees with the modes "top-down" and "convection".
Let the ready kulebyaka cool for a while.
Kulebyaka with chicken hearts, cabbage, buckwheat and mushrooms is ready to serve.
