Pirozhki (plural form of pirozhok, Russian: пирожок, пирожки, which means a little pirog), sometimes transliterated as pyrizhky (plural from Ukrainian: пиріжок), is a generic word for individual-sized baked or fried buns stuffed with a variety of fillings. The stress in pirozhki is properly placed on the last syllable: [pʲiroʂˈkʲi]. Pirozhok (Russian: пирожок, singular) is the diminutive form of the Russian cognate pirog (Russian: пирог), which refers to a full-sized pie. The Russian plural of this word, pirogi (Russian: пироги, with the stress on the last syllable [pʲiroˈɡʲi]), is not to be confused with pierogi (stress on "o" in English and Polish) in Polish cuisine, which are similar to the Russian pelmeni or Ukrainian varenyky.
A common variety of pirozhki are baked stuffed buns made from yeast dough and often glazed with egg to produce the common golden colour. They commonly contain meat (typically beef) or a vegetable filling (mashed potatoes, mushrooms, onions and egg, or cabbage). Pirozhki could also be stuffed with fish (e.g., salmon) or with an oatmeal filling mixed with meat or giblets. Sweet-based fillings could include stewed or fresh fruit (apples, cherries, apricots, chopped lemon, etc.), jam, quark or cottage cheese. The buns may be plain and stuffed with the filling, or else be made in a free-form style with strips of dough decoratively encasing the filling.
Potatoes among American crops became very popular when the vegetable was brought and adopted to the Eurasian climate. Before then, the ingredient was not available as it took more time to acclimatize to continental regions like Russia and Ukraine. Before then, the ingredients would contain more vegetables and fruits, as well as duck, goose and rabbit meat, uncommon today"
I love them but it was so hard to make them and takes several hours! I've been craving them since I left Russia, but I never tried to make them here in the U.S. because of how long it takes just to make the dough. But I found a super easy recipe and decided to try it, and it worked out very well! Yummy! :-)
You will need
4 1/2 cups of flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1.5 tsp salt
A little bit over 2 cups of milk (500 ml)
11 grams of yeast
Mix everything well. Put it in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 hours That's it!
You can use any fillings - sweet or non sweet. (For example - potatoes and mushrooms, cabbage, eggs and green onion, apples, any berries etc)
There are 2 ways to cook piroshki - fry or bake. I fried this time.
PS You can also use this dough for pizza crust.
