Piroshki
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in 1/4 cup warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the ground beef, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Cook until the beef is browned. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh dill. Let the filling cool.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a 4-inch circle.
- Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Place the piroshki seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the piroshki with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the piroshki are golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade piroshki!
