How To make Piroshki with Meat | Baked Piroshki with Meat Recipe

In a small pot add your instant dry yeast, then you want to add sugar, then you want to add warm milk, make sure it's lukewarm not hot or cold and mix everything together. Set it aside for 15 minutes. In a different bowl add your egg, then add your milk, the rest of the milk that we have, sour cream and then your puffed up dry yeast. So just mix everything together and make sure your yeast is activated. Then finally add butter and mix everything together. You want to make sure everything has incorporated and is completely mixed in. The mixture should look just like this. Next into your stand mixer add your plain flour and you're going to attach a dough hook and then pour your wet mixture into your dry mixture and mix on a low speed until everything is mixed in. You then want to slowly keep adding the wet mixture into your flour mixture and keep mixing and this process will probably take around 5 to 10 minutes. If you're kneading this by hand you will need to make sure you're ready for some work. Obviously in a kitchen aid it makes it much easier. So the dough should become nice and easy and very very soft so it'd be nice and sticky just like that next add some flour onto your kitchen surface place your dough and you want to knead it just for a few more seconds with your hands add more flour on top make sure it doesn't stick to you so just roll it up and down pressing from both sides and it's very very nice and soft dough very easy to work with and I absolutely love it very very delicious so once you've folded it in several times it's ready to go and prove so I've prepared a nice large bowl and I'm adding some olive oil inside you can add any oil that you have the reason for that is when the dough goes up we want to make sure it's not stuck and it can rise so just spread your oil around and then add your dough inside and then twist it around from both sides to make sure it's nice and oily and we'll leave this to proof for about an hour now and a half depends on your house and how warm it is so place it into a warm spot cut your onion into nice fine pieces and fry it in butter until it's nice and caramelized at that point you want to add your pancetta you can also use bacon and just make sure it's nice and chopped mix everything together and then cook it for a few minutes until the bacon is cooked lastly you want to add your meat and you can use beef or pork it's completely up to you and then mix everything together until it's nice and mixed add your salt and pepper cook for further 10 minutes mix everything together and when it's done take it off the heat take your dough cut it in half using a cookie cutter and then in half again and we're going to pinch a little bit on top and roll out into a small ball we're going to use our rolling pin and move it up and down until you get a nice shape like this. Then you want to add about one tablespoon of your filling inside and then pinch the dough from the top going around the edges and then all the sides until you have completely sealed your pirozhok. You want to make sure it's quite tight so you don't have the filling coming out from anywhere and it's nice and sealed in there. Spray your baking sheet with some cooking oil and then add your your pirozhki on top. You want to line them up all together and then use some egg wash on each pirozhok and make sure it's nice and coated evenly around. Then we're going to bake these for about 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius or 350 F or until they're nice and golden. You'll be able to smell them, I promise you. Once your pirozhki are done, should be nice and golden and it's best to eat them straight away from the oven while they're hot and delicious.
