We mix in a mug yeast with slightly warmed milk, sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour. Place the container with the opaque in a warm place for 20 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the eggs with vegetable oil and salt. Add the yeast that came up in the milk into the egg mixture. Sifting the flour a little, knead the dough. Stir thoroughly, but not for long, roll in a com, cover in a bowl with a clean napkin. Put the dough in a warm place for 40-60 minutes, let it come. Let's simulate and let the dough rise, then again put it in heat, and after 20 minutes it is ready for use.
Cooking stuffing
Grind the onion and garlic in any convenient way (meat grinder, blender) and mix with minced meat, season with salt and ground spices. In the filling is also good to add a little grated cheese, so it will be much tastier.
Raise the dough dough and divide into 2 parts, one of which we leave in a bowl with the other working.
We make "petals" - parts of "Chrysanthemum"
Roll out a piece of dough into a cake 3-4 mm thick. Using a punching mold or a round glass, make circles. For each dough-substrate from the dough, place a small portion of the filling and fold it in half. We connect the ends of the semicircle and fasten, like pelmeni. In the same way, we make shapes with meat stuffings from the second part of the dough.
We are building a meat pie "Chrysanthemum"
We need a round refractory shape with edges of medium height. The form should be oiled, and even better, first bake with paper and cover it, then the pie (or individual portions of the pie will be easy to extract). We put the blanks-petals into shape, spirally starting from the outer circle, gradually fill the whole shape (see pictures).
Let's leave the cake for half an hour.

Before baking with a brush, squirt the surface with a mixture of egg yolk with a small amount of milk. Place the cake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes (the optimum temperature is about 200 degrees Celsius). Having turned off the fire in the oven, immediately pie is not removed, let it reach the ready in the cooling oven with a slightly slightly opened door for another 20 minutes. You can brush the melted butter with a brush using a brush, however, this is not necessary. Before serving, we can cool the cake a little - fresh hot pastries are not useful for digestion.
Meat pie "Chrysanthemum" is easily segmented into portions, we serve it with meat or mushroom broth.
