As promised in the other thread, here is my own recipe for one of many variations of Russian "pirozhki".

Step 1: Prepare the dough

On Friday or Saturday night, mix the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of kefir (or plain yogurt, or buttermilk)
- 1 cup of milk (or whey)
- 2 cups of water
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 3/4 Tbsp salt
- 1 1/2 Tbs dry yeast
- 2 cups flour (for healthier option, take 1 c white flour and 1 c whole wheat)

Cover the mix and let it sit in at a room temperature overnight. You should get some nice bubbly thing by the tie you get up in the morning.

Add the following to the mixture and mix well (by hand):
- 6 cups white flour (or 5 cups white and 1 cup whole wheat)
- 4 Tbsp oil

You should get soft and sticky dough. (To handle it, oil your hands)

Let the dough rise for 3-4 hrs at 100F until it triples in size.

Step 2: Prepare the potato+wild mushroom filling

Take some fresh mushrooms (I had about 1/2 bucket), wash them and cut into small pieces, put them on to a generously oiled skillet and saute for ~30 minutes until soft and ready (the time depends on your mushrooms - usually the wild mushrooms are more watery, and it takes longer time to evaporate the liquid). Add salt and pepper and some garlic (optional)

DSC00002-012.jpg DSC00005-006.jpg

At the same time, boil and mush some potatoes (5-6 large spuds) with butter, milk, and garlic until it resembles thick paste.

1 medium onion, cut into small cubes and saute until golden brown. Add onions to the potatoes. Add mushrooms and some chopped fresh parsley and mix well with folk.

Step 3: making pirozhki
Move the soft dough onto a floured surface. Cut small pieces, make round flattened forms with your hands and place a large Tbsp of filling into the center, and make your pirozhki.

DSC00007-003.jpg DSC00009-003.jpg DSC00010-002.jpg DSC00011-002.jpg DSC00013-001.jpg

Put some oil on a hot skillet, place your pirozhki, cover with a lid, and fry on medium/high for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

DSC00014-001.jpg DSC00015-001.jpg

Enjoy with a cup of fresh herbal tea!

DSC00016.jpg

You can make pirozhki with different fillings - i.e. ground beef and potatoes, or boiled eggs and green onions, or potatoes and kale, etc - just use your imagination.
