Pelmeni with Sausage, Chili Peppers, Pickles, and Cheese

Preparation of the Dough 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. 2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the water and egg. 3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. 4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. 5. Shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Preparation of the Filling 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, chopped chili peppers, pickles, and grated cheese. 2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Assembly and Cooking 1. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. 2. Cut out circles from the dough using a round cookie cutter or a glass. 3. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. 4. Fold the dough in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape. 5. Press the edges together to seal the dumpling. 6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 7. Carefully drop the pelmeni into the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface. 8. Remove the cooked pelmeni from the water using a slotted spoon and serve hot.
