Piroshki Recipe

[said_scarlett]

1 1/2 teaspoon yeast
2/4 teaspoon brown sugar
3/4 cups hot water
1 egg
2 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 or more cups flour - one half white, one half whole wheat

Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the water, allow to sit for fifteen minutes. Beat egg, add oil. Add oil and egg to yeast mixture. Stir in the salt and start beating in flour a little bit at a time cup at a time until dough is dry and doesn't stick to your hands. Knead for five to ten minutes, place in lightly oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise for 2 hours.

Roll dough and divide into rounds of about four or five inches and relatively thick so they won't fall apart when you fold and press them. Fill with filling, fold over into a half circle, brush with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

I like ham and cheese, beef and cheese, and chicken and herbs for the fillings. But really, you can stuff them with anything.

Oh, I get it, they're like knishes. (Which I only tried to make once, from a really bad recipe.) I should give this a try sometime.

Yes! They're a nummy Russian meat pastry, only slightly different from dozens of other meat pastries. But meat pastries are my absolute favorite form of food, and I have a recipe for each separate kind - even when the difference is so small as bleached white flour vs unbleached whole wheat!

They're really easy, and come out extremely light and fluffy!

I hate to say it but I don't eat meat. But I'm sure you can stuff them with other things, like you can with knishes.

Oh yes, you can put anything in them! Herb and veggie stuffing is delicious inside of them! And mushroom and rice, too.
