Pirozhki (Russian Stuffed Buns)

Pirozhki (Russian Stuffed Buns)
inspired by ‪@AlexMilana‬
4:46 - start of the recipe
Milana's Pirozhki • САМЫЕ ПОКУПАЕМЫЕ ПИРОЖ...
Dec 2021 update: I found a better way to help them seal. Instead of rolling them out with a pin (which requires added flour and reduces the stickiness of the dough), I stretch them out with my hands. To do that put the ball of dough seam side up on a work surface and pat it with your fingers into a circle. It will stick to the work surface just enough to let you stretch it out, but you can easily unstick it while filling.
Recipe for KZbin:
Makes 20 pirozhki
Dough:
100g heavy cream
220g buttermilk
14 g active dry yeast (two 7g packets) or 10g SAF instant yeast (3.5 tsp)
450g unbleached all-purpose flour
8.4g salt (that’s 1 Tbsp Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt or 1.5 tsp table salt)
40g granulated sugar
40g butter, melted and warm, but not hot
2 yolks + enough water to get to 36g (from the fridge or room temp)
Fillings:
Caramelized Cabbage (1 recipe of this filling is enough for 10-12 pirozhki)
• Caramelized Cabbage
Mushroom Duxelles (1 recipe of this filling is enough for 10-12 pirozhki)
• Mushroom Spread a.k.a....
Egg Wash:
1 yolk plus 1 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
2 Tbsp melted butter for brushing the finished pirozhki
Warm the cream and buttermilk to 105F (40.5C). Stir in the yeast and let sit for 10 min. Combine flour, salt and sugar in a bowl of a stand mixer (or any large bowl) and whisk. Add the butter and yolks to the cream mixture and whisk to combine. Pour the wet into the dry and mix with a dough hook on first speed until dough forms. Turn up the speed to medium low (2 on kitchenaid) and knead for 6 minutes scraping down half way through. For instructions on hand kneading see the video.
Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic and rise in a warm place until tripled or even quadrupled, 1-2 hours. Dump onto a work surface and give it 2 letter turns, cut into 40g pieces, and roll them into balls. Keep all the pieces of dough covered with plastic at all times. Place each ball on the work surface seam side up and stretch into a circle without adding flour to the top (this works better than rolling with a pin), add the filling of your choice (ideally chilled) and seal tightly. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet seam side down. You’ll need 2 half sheets (18x13 inches) to fit 20 pirozhki. Cover with plastic and let puff just a little, about 30 minutes at warm room temp. Brush with the egg wash. Bake in the middle of a preheated 400F (200C) oven until golden brown, 10-15 min. Immediately brush with melted butter and let cool on a rack for 10 min.

I mixed the caramelized cabbage and the caramelized onions together for the filling. I'm in pirozhki heaven....

[@desertodavid]

My mother made runzas at our house when I was a kid. They were very similar to your pirozkis. In fact, the only difference was ground beef was added to the cabbage and onions. They were pretty good. But caramelized cabbage and onions sounds heavenly! I'm learning a new word today. So I probably spelled it wrong earlier. *Pirozhki !* 😋

[@cliveburrows6071]

Can you eat caramelised onion or caramelised cabbage on keto

[@genericembarrassingusernam7843]

@@cliveburrows6071 They might not be the best; a lot of the fibers get broken down into sugars, especially the onion.

[@ttb1513]

@@desertodavid Ah, Runzas! My mom would also make them. I don’t have the recipe anymore, unfortunately. Growing up in Lincoln, NE, the runza hut was also a go to place. I’ve always wondered about the origins of runzas. And I’m on the lookout for a good recipe if anyone has any pointers or tips. Good eats! I tuned into this video to see how similar runzas are to pirozhkis.

[@desertodavid]

@@ttb1513 don't you just love those old-fashioned delicious you grew up with as a kid like Runzas in Lincoln Nebraska??!!😍😍 I tell you what. My older brother who also grew up in Nebraska has made them occasionally, I think based off of his gleaning recipes from our ancestors. We're getting a little older now, but I'll try to get the recipe and send it to you! You might have to remind me! I don't normally take comments on KZbin very seriously. But this one I do!🤗 Anybody have a easy way of saving KZbin comments for later use??

[@vascoemyer]

Thank you for uploading. Every Saturday my mother made pirag - the Latvian version of this. Her's were filled with sauteed bacon and onions - delicious. I remember she used bacon rind to grease her oven trays and wet yeast dissolved with sugar for the dough. When she ran out of filling, the remaining balls were simply pressed in the middle with a very small knob of butter then sprinkled with caraway seeds and brown sugar - her egg wash was milk and egg, not cream. But I like the idea of your egg wash variance. I've never forgotten the aroma of her freshly baked pirag and the taste! Like you say, I've tried to reproduce her results and did eventually give up because I was less than successful. I tried very hard, always failed. I'll try your recipe and hopefully it'll work. Best regards from Melbourne, Australia.

[@NoZenith]

On Naderi street in Tehran, Iran there used to be a Cafe called Cafe Naderi. It was closed to my high school and I frequented them often. Cabbage Pirashki was my favorite too. Today when I accidentally viewed your Cream Puff video, I ended up finding this gem. I tasted Pirashki after nearly 50 years. THANK YOU!!! I am determine to make some very soon. God bless you.

[@thehadster7043]

First, thanks for the link to Alex and Milana. I'm always on the lookout for cooking videos from other countries. Secondly, thanks for the tip about converting European baking recipes. A few years ago I traveled to Russia. I went from Moscow to St. Petersburg on a boat, and I fell in love with the country, the people and the food. On the boat we had amazing chefs, as you can imagine. And the Pastry Chef was out of this world. He made this cake. It was soft, oh so very soft. It was sweet and tangy. I couldn't place the flavor. It was caramel but not caramel. It had many, many layers. I had already made friends with one of the servers, and I asked him if the chef would part with the recipe. I showed him pictures of food I had made and told him that I treasured and collected recipes from other countries and cultures and would cherish the recipe. The next day, at breakfast, he gave me a small piece of paper with the recipe and a few quick instructions. I was totally baffled by the recipe's instructions. Thankfully, the ingredients were given by weights! The cake was called "Medovic" or Honey Cake. I searched on line for instructions, but none of the recipes had the same amount/proportions of the ingredients as the scrap of paper I had. I kept looking. I finally found a blog, Olga's Flavor Factory, and there was the recipe - not precisely the same, but the differences were so minuscule, I went with it. The instructions also seemed to be similar. I finally understood the brief instructions to "cook until dark." I had to mix the wet ingredients and cook, slowly, until the color was that of dark caramel. Anyway... It turned out that the cake is really made of up large, thin cookies with a sour cream filling. I'm sure our US sour cream is a bit different than Russian sour cream. Ours looks much thinner in consistency, and I'm sure the taste is slightly different, but....I do not care. The mistake I made was not letting the cake sit for 24 hours. Happily, the next day, the leftover cake had the texture and taste I remembered. But, after a few times of making the recipe, I have cut back on the flour - and now I know why. Even though I only discovered this recipe about 4 or 5 years ago, it has become the most requested recipe in my repertoire. It is a a procedure to make, but not at all difficult. And, apparently, it freezes & defrosts beautifully. I make a big batch of the dough, and create a 10 X 10 cake with about 10 cookie layers which I cut in half after 24 hours in the fridge. Then I frost/coat the outside with the sour cream filling and dust with the crumbs I made with the scraps of cookie dough after I cut out the large squares of dough for the cookie - and I dry them out in the oven to they are nice and crisp. One cake gets frozen as my gift, and the other is for serving. And, happily, it can be made many days in advance! Thanks!

[@helenrennie]

as soon as you mentioned the cake, I knew it was probably medovik :) if you want a good medovik recipe that is optimized for american ingredients, try Samin Nosrat's version: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019089-russian-honey-cake It's a bit different than the traditional version (though we have so many in Russia), but is really lovely.

[@thehadster7043]

@@helenrennie I will give this a try. It is fundamentally different than the one the chef gave me - I was to roll out the dough, and there was no burnt honey in it - but this recipe intrigues me. Thank you! Oh. I will be working on my choux pastry. I now know what I did wrong. Thank you!

#realcomment I made these today and man are they amazing! I didn't have the patience to make your suggested fillings today (that and the power kept going out) so I went with the beef filling from Food Wishes' video on pirozhkis. I wouldn't have thought that baking would taste better than frying but I love your dough recipe better and I will be making it again. Paired the the beef filling was so delicious, I'm looking forward to trying mushroom pirozhkis. I had a bit of leftover dough and I made some pirozhkis with my aunt's home grown and made peach jam intended to make empanadas (my first time making those a month ago, they were pretty good). The sweetness of the jam brings out the salt in the dough, it makes for a complex tastes that goes well together.

This recipe was perfect. I made them yesterday to be served as an appetizer for a dinner group They got rave reviews from everyone and none were left at the end. The dough was soft and rich. I liked doing the mushroom and the cabbage fillings since they were both very different. I sprinkled chopped chives on the mushroom ones when they came out of the oven so people could tell them apart. The written and video instructions were very precise. I would say these would be difficult to make if you don't have a lot of cooking experience due to how closely you need to attend to details. I did end up adding a second baking sheet underneath to prevent over browning of the bottom. Great tip which I will use again! The one thing that I did not do which I would in the future is to make the fillings a day ahead. I did both fillings, the dough and assembly in one day. The whole process took over 5 hours and I was pretty tired of standing by the end. Well worth the effort! Delicious!

Very true, America flour is so different from any other country. I made tortillas using my Mexican mom's recipe and they came out stale and dry using normal unbleached all purpose flour.
