Today I’m sharing the Authentic Pirog Recipe from CookingAI. Pirog is a traditional Russian pastry that is great for any occasion.
Ingredients:
– 250g all-purpose flour
– 7g yeast
– 200ml milk
– 1 tsp sugar
– 70g butter
– 1 egg
– pinch of salt
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– Optional: filling of your choice
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, sift the flour and add the yeast, milk, sugar, butter, egg, salt, and vanilla extract.
2. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for a few minutes.
3. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for at least an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 180C.
5. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut circles out of it with a cookie cutter.
6. Place a spoonful of the filling of your choice (e.g. cream cheese, nuts, fruits, etc.) in the middle of each of the circles of dough.
7. Fold each circle of dough in half, and press the edges to close it.
8. Transfer the piroshki onto a greased baking sheet.
9. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
10. Serve and enjoy!
