Add yeast and warm water, then knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Roll out the dough into thin circles.

Prepare the filling by mixing sautéed onions, mushrooms, garlic, cheese, and spices in a bowl.

Place a spoonful of filling onto one half of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Fry the pastries until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
