Savory Piroshky
Description
This Savory Piroshky recipe uses a rich dough made with egg yolks, sugar, sour cream, warm milk and water, dry yeast, butter, and flour. The dough is kneaded to a smooth consistency and left to rise before shaping. The filling comprises ground meat mixed with grated onion and seasoned with salt and pepper according to preference. Small portions of the risen dough are flattened, filled generously with the meat mixture, sealed carefully to prevent leakage, and then shaped into rounds.
Frying in plentiful neutral oil at medium heat cooks the piroshky evenly, producing a golden brown crust and fully cooked, seasoned meat inside. The approach emphasizes evenly sized portions and attention to sealing to retain moisture.
These piroshky can be enjoyed warm and make a hearty snack or part of a larger meal.
Ingredients
Piroshky Dough
- 5 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups milk warm
- 1/2 cup water warm
- 1 1/2 tbsp yeast dry
- 5 tbsp butter unsalted
- 7 cups flour
Filling
- 3 lb ground meat
- 1 onion grated, large
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to preference
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to preference, ground
- neutral cooking oil vegetable or canola for frying, generic cooking oil
Instructions
Piroshky Filling
- Combine the ground meat, onion, and season to your preference (I prefer using salt and pepper).
Piroshky Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar and sour cream. Then, add water, milk and yeast. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Add the melted butter.
- Mix in the flour in thirds. Knead the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands, at least 10 minutes.
- Let the dough rise for an hour.
- Using oiled hands, divide the dough into small evenly sized pieces. Form the dough into circles and leave them on an oiled surface.
- Flatten out the dough and place the filling inside. Flatten out the meat across the dough. Fold over the sides and pinch the edges together to seal the dough. Once it's sealed tight, flatten out the dough into round piroshki. Place them side by side on an oiled surface.
- Fill up a deep frying pan with lots of oil and place over medium heat. Fry each piroshok until golden brown on each side. Tear open one piroshok to confirm readiness.
- Lay the piroshki out on paper towel to absorb some of the oil. Keep them covered with a towel until ready to serve.
