Preparation Method:

1. Prepare the dough
   In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and warm water. Let the mixture sit until it becomes foamy.
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, vegetable oil, yeast mixture, and room-temperature water. Knead until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
   Once the dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size.

2. Divide and rest the dough
   After rising, divide the dough into three equal parts and let them rest for another 30 minutes.

3. Prepare the filling
   Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the chicken cubes and cook until fully done.
   Pour in the hot water and allow it to simmer gently, covered. Then add the cream and bring the mixture to a light boil.
   Remove the pan from heat and set aside.

4. Assemble the pie
   Roll each piece of dough into a circular shape. Brush each layer with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic. Stack the layers, allowing the edges to hang slightly over.
   Place the chicken mixture, mushrooms, and Emmental cheese in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a closed pie.
   Brush the surface with melted butter.

5. Bake
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the pie on a baking tray and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

6. Serve
   Remove from the oven and let it rest slightly before serving. Enjoy this savory pie with your family—it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
