Shangi is a traditional dish of Siberian cuisine. In the Urals, almost every housewife bakes them for her loved ones. Outwardly, the dish resembles cheesecakes, but in fact these are cakes smeared with filling, most often potato. In order for the filling to fit a little more, when forming the cakes, they are pressed in the center to make at least a slight depression. Traditionally, shangi is made from yeast dough, but modern housewives are increasingly using unleavened dough on kefir, sour cream or milk, sometimes even on water, to prepare this dish, and they form baskets from it, in which there is especially a lot of stuffing. Cooking shangi with potatoes according to both modern and classic recipes is not difficult, you just need to stock up on time and learn the features of the technology.
Cooking features
The process of making Ural pies with potatoes is not difficult, but if you make them, according to tradition, from yeast dough, it takes a lot of time. If you organize the work correctly, you can speed up the result a little. You can’t do without knowing some of the intricacies of the technology so that the finished dish resembles the Ural shangs as much as possible.
- Products for the preparation of yeast dough are used warm. To do this, water and milk must be boiled and cooled to the desired temperature in advance. If you are making unleavened dough on kefir, it is recommended to get it out of the refrigerator in advance so that it warms up a little.
- Classical Ural shangs are made from a mixture of wheat and rye flour, but modern housewives prefer to make do with wheat flour. Whatever flour you use, it must be sifted to saturate it with oxygen and clean it of small litter if it suddenly comes across. Lush shangi will not come out of wholemeal flour.
- They start preparing the shanezhki with kneading the dough, as it needs time to rise. While the dough is rising, prepare the mashed potatoes for the filling.
- The risen dough is crushed to saturate with oxygen and left for another hour, only after that they begin to form the shanezhki. They are quite lush cakes the size of a palm.
- To make the filling tasty, eggs and butter are added to the mashed potatoes. Before being placed in the oven, shangi is covered with sour cream or an egg (or even a mixture of both). The finished cakes are smeared with butter and covered with a towel, left in this form for 15 minutes so that they become softer, steamed and soaked in oil.
Shangi with potatoes are hearty, and a couple of such pies are enough to feed an adult with a good appetite. They are quite capable of replacing not only a snack, but also the main meal, but it is not customary to serve them as a main course. Usually shangi is offered with tea or milk.

Shangi - hearty flatbreads covered with potato filling. The dish is tasty and satisfying, it belongs to the Ural cuisine. If you have not been to Siberia, but want to get acquainted with its cuisine, you should cook shanezhki at home. If you strictly follow the recommendations in the recipe, even an inexperienced cook will cope with this task.
Product Matrix: 🥄
Shangi or shanezhki is a dish of pioneers. Born in the Russian north, it crossed the Urals with the settlers and conquered all of Siberia, right up to the Far East. These are not pies or cheesecake, but a very special kind of large or small (from 30 to 10 cm in diameter) cakes made from yeast dough, on which a thick, necessarily unsweetened, but satisfying filling is placed or smeared on top. Shangi can be made with sour cream and flour spread, with peas or any viscous porridge, but shangi with potatoes were and remain the most popular.
Today we will make rich yeast shangi. But, if you do not add an egg to the dough, and replace the butter with vegetable oil, then you can enjoy this hearty pastry in fasting. I will tell you in detail about how to cook shangi with potatoes in the oven in my recipe, and the step-by-step photos taken will illustrate the preparation.
For the test we need:
- 125 ml of milk or water;
- 25 g fresh yeast (or 1 tsp dry);
- 1 tbsp Sahara;
- one egg;
- 100 gr butter;
- 1 tbsp sour cream;
- a pinch of salt;
- about 400 gr flour.
For lean shorts:
- butter is replaced by 4 tbsp. vegetable;
- remove the egg and sour cream from the layout;
- increase the liquid rate to 200 ml.
Let's start with the test. Since there are a lot of fillings on shangs, the dough must be very elastic in order to keep its shape and not flatten under its weight. That is why it is better to use not dry, but live fresh yeast and make a dough first.
It's easy to prepare. Combine water, sugar and yeast and stir until smooth.
We cover the cup with dough with something (at least with cling film) and place it for 15-30 minutes (depending on the quality of the yeast) in a warm place.
Good yeast will begin to revive right before your eyes.
Opara bubbled and uncontrollably climbed out of the bowl - it's time to knead the dough.
How to make dough for shangi
Our Siberian and Ural grandmothers put the dough in a kneader, but personally I prefer to use the services of a bread machine or a food processor. While the dough was coming up, we melted the butter, but not to a liquid state, but to a soft, spreadable mass. Pour the dough into a container, send oil, egg, sour cream there.
Sift the flour, enriching it with oxygen. We put salt last so that the development of yeast is not inhibited. If desired, the dough can be flavored with cardamom, nutmeg or ground fenugreek.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling.
How to make potato stuffing
Boil potatoes in salted water. You can make regular mashed potatoes, but it will be much tastier with the addition of fried onions, mushrooms or cracklings. We will have onions fried in butter.
We drain the finished potatoes and turn them into mashed potatoes using a pusher or blender. But after the blender, a viscous paste is obtained, and the pusher leaves unbroken pieces. If you want to get the perfect puree of the right consistency, it is best to use a special press.
We mix fried onions into potatoes, salt, pepper, add hot milk and, stirring, bring the puree to the desired degree of density.
The potato filling is ready, but before molding the shangi, you need to let it cool down to the temperature of fresh milk, not higher.
By this time, the yeast dough has grown. It turned out strong, very magnificent, but at the same time elastic. It will hold the weight of the potatoes well on itself and at the same time it will not settle or flatten.
How to cook shangi
Punch down the dough, cut into portions. In our case, it is most convenient to make 24 shanezhki, that is, 12 pieces for each baking sheet.
We take the same amount of fillings as the dough, or a little more (optional). You can form shangi with your hands: roll up koloboks from dough and potatoes, flatten them into cakes and put a potato circle on the dough.
But it can be done faster, more conveniently and more beautifully with the help of serving rings. We cover the baking sheet with a silicone mat, dust with flour, place the rings at the desired distance. We spread a portioned piece of dough into the ring, distribute it with your fingertips. Then spread the filling in the same way, level it and remove the ring.
We cover the baking sheet with a napkin and set for 20-30 minutes for proofing.
How to bake shangi with potatoes
Our strong dough came up, increased in volume so well that the shanezhki became a bit like cheesecakes. Lubricate them with a beaten egg or egg-milk mixture and send them to an oven heated to 200-220 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Lush, ruddy, Siberian yeast shangs are ready.
They can be eaten hot, warm, cold. You can even freeze, and as needed, take out, thaw, reheat in the microwave - and again they will be fresh and soft, as if right from the heat - from the heat!
Delicious shangi with potatoes is a self-sufficient dish, but at the same time it is quite “sociable”, that is, it goes well with a wide variety of products. If you sprinkle shangu with sour cream, or add a few slices of something meat, fish, or just sprinkle with fresh herbs, then it will not just be a meal, but a real feast!
Shangi with potatoes are pies that are very similar to cheesecakes in appearance. The main difference between the two types of pastries is that in one case the filling is salty, and in the second it is sweet. According to the old recipes, it was simply smeared on top of a piece of dough and no indentations were made. This option is great for tea drinking or as an appetizer for the first course.
