Starter:

• dry yeast - 4 g

• yolk - 1 pc.
• warm water - 60 g
• flour - 275 g

Method of preparation:

1. First, make the starter: mix all the dry ingredients and add oil. Cover with boiling water, stir and set aside to let it cool slightly.

2. During this time, mix yeast, sugar, egg yolk, flour, and water separately. Add the starter and knead the dough. You may need to add another 10-20 g of flour. The dough should be elastic but slightly sticky. Leave it for 1 hour.

3. Divide the dough into 10 pieces. Roll out each piece (not too thin, otherwise they will tear apart).

4. Put the filling in and pinch like a dumpling.
