Russian cabbage pie or kulebjaka or kulybyaka is similar to a savory turnover like a Mexican empanada or Italian calzone. Kulebjaka can be made with a flaky puff pastry or pie dough, or a yeast dough as it is here. The fillings vary from vegetarian to meat to the famous salmon filling, and is known as kulebiak in Poland and kuliabiaka in Belarus. A Lithuanian version of cabbage-meat pie made in a pastry crust is known as placiu kepsnys. Compare this with Eastern European Cabbage Pie Recipe made with a pie crust.
