Not always pies can be in the classic form – in the form of triangles or buns. Sometimes it is worth giving in to experimentation and trying to cook pastries from abroad.
For example, there is an interesting recipe for Chinese pastries. Meat patties are often a substitute for ordinary bread, as for the inhabitants of the East pita. Such patties are prepared simply, in a skillet. In this case, a hearty pastry is obtained, which acts as an independent dish and as a side dish to meat and soups.
