Total preparation time: 3 hours
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30-40 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10 servings

Necessary ingredients:
- 1 kg flour
- 3 eggs
- 300 ml milk
- 50 ml oil
- 50 g fresh yeast
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar (depending on preferences)
- 1-2 tablespoons salt
- Oil or beaten egg for greasing
- 2 fresh cabbages
- 3 medium onions
- Oil for frying
- Freshly ground pepper

Preparing the fluffy dough
1. Start by sifting the flour into a large bowl, creating a well in the center. This step is essential to allow the ingredients to mix evenly.
2. In the well created, add the fresh yeast, previously softened in a little warm milk, and the sugar. Gently mix until you obtain a smooth paste, similar to sour cream. Cover the bowl with a warm towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 20-30 minutes, until it doubles in volume.

Useful tips:
- Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can add a little sugar to the milk to feed the yeast and speed up the rising process.

3. Once the yeast has risen, add the beaten eggs with a little salt, 50 ml of oil, and the remaining warm milk. Mix well.
4. Gradually start adding flour, mixing with a spatula or your hands, until the dough becomes smooth and no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes.

5. Once kneading is complete, cover the dough again and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in volume.

Preparing the cabbage filling
6. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Chop the cabbage finely and massage it with salt, letting it sit for 10 minutes to release its juices.
7. In a large skillet, heat a little oil and add the finely chopped onions. Fry them over medium heat until they become golden and translucent.
8. Add the drained cabbage and let it sauté for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft. Finally, add the freshly ground pepper and let the mixture cool.

Assembling and baking the stuffed cabbages
9. When the dough has risen, divide it into 3-4 equal parts. Take one portion and roll it out on a floured surface, forming a sheet about 0.5 cm thick, round or square (with a diameter of about 15 cm).
10. Place a generous spoonful of cabbage filling in the center of the sheet. Carefully pinch the edges of the dough with your fingers, ensuring that the filling is well sealed inside.

11. Arrange the stuffed cabbages on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and brush them with oil or beaten egg on top to achieve a golden and appetizing crust.
12. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the cabbages are beautifully browned.

Serving and suggestions
After baking, let the stuffed cabbages cool slightly, then brush them with a little oil and place them in a large bowl, covered, to soften a bit. Serve them warm, alongside creamy sour cream or a garlic yogurt sauce, which will add an extra layer of flavor.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast?
Yes, you can use dry yeast, but make sure to activate it according to the instructions on the package.

2. How can I vary the filling?
You can add ground meat to the filling or various spices for a more intense flavor. You can also experiment with other vegetables, such as mushrooms or carrots.

3. What drinks pair well with stuffed cabbage?
These stuffed cabbages pair perfectly with a glass of dry white wine or a warm herbal tea, which will complement the flavors.
