PÄ°ROSHKÄ°
Piroshki is a russian food. It is a cool dough with potato filled. Is easy to cook it.
Here’s how to make piroshki:
- Make the Dough: Piroshki can be made with either a baking powder or yeast dough. The dough recipe that we use is egg rich and good enough to rival yeast doughs.
- Cook the Filling: The filling can be made with meat and cheese, vegetables, or even scrambled eggs. Let your imagination be your guide.
- Assemble and Bake: Roll the dough, cut into 6-inch circles, add filling, fold the dough over and seal the edges, and bake.
- Cheese will leak out if the dough is not carefully sealed. Dampen the edges of the circle with a pastry brush and water before sealing. (We didn’t find that necessary with the other recipes.) Reduce the baking time by five minutes.
- The dough will absorb some liquid from the filling. Add an extra half-cup of water to the filling for moister piroshki.
- New, waxy potatoes work well in piroshki. Russet potatoes are too starchy to match up with the starch in the crust.
