This delicious Russian Pirog Meat Pie (Пирог с мясом) is made with beef, pancetta, and potatoes and is easy to make. This is a recipe from my childhood that my grandmother used to make for us all the time. Everyone loves a meat pie, and there are so many different ways to make them across so many cultures.
A Pirog is a Russian meat pie, covered in dough, baked and filled with a sweet or savory filling. This Russian Meat Pie is made with a very yeast dough which makes the pie unbelievably delicious and fluffy. It is a perfect dish to feed a large family and enjoy it for a few days.

Let me know what you thought if you did make it and until next time!
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 gonna 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 the KitchenAid 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. Guys and girls I have my recipe
on my website at allisyummyfood.com. You'll find
full ingredients and also directions on how
to make this and also you'll be able to find loads
of other recipes that I do for my channel.
Just click through, click on a picture and you'll be
able to see the whole video with the directions
and the full recipe in English and Russian languages.
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,
an hour and a half, depends
on your house and how warm it is.
So place it into a warm spot. Take your potatoes, peel
them off and then do that with the rest of your potatoes.
You then want to cut them into
half and then half again
and we're doing this to make sure that they boil much faster. Then
place them into a large pot with some cold water
and we're going to boil them for about
25 minutes or so. But keep checking them with a knife
and when they're ready, drain the
water completely. In the meantime,
I've chopped up some onion and I'm going to fry it in butter
to make it nice and caramelized.
And then once our potatoes are done,
we're going to add some seasoning, salt and pepper,
butter and our caramelized onions inside.
And this will give it a really delicious flavor.
So just mix everything together with a potato masher.
And then once you feel like you're happy with the filling,
you might want to add a bit more butter
so it's nice and juicy and super creamy mashed potato.
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, 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.
When your dough has proofed you want
to take it and flour it
and then you want to roll out into a nice sort of square shape
and you're going to do this with both parts of the dough
because we're going to have one
bottom and one top.
So once your dough is completely rolled out it should be nice and
thin and not too thick at the edges as well.
Then you want to put your mashed potato filling
inside and be quite generous spread it around until it's nice
and even and then add your
meat filling. You want to spread
the meat filling all around the dough as well so that
you have a lot of meat
and potato filling everywhere in the corners too. When you have
finished that you want to add your second layer of the dough on top
and just cover the
pie from the sides going around and twisting
so you kind of get this nice beautiful pattern
as well. Then you want to add your egg wash on top of your pie,
make sure it's got around
everywhere, the edges and the inside.
And then to make sure that it actually has the
steam coming out, you're going to make
a few holes around the pie but I also think the
shape is really beautiful too.
Then you want to bake your pie for about 35-45 minutes in
the oven until it's completely golden and done
and you'll be able to smell it, trust
me the pie looks amazing it smells
so good in the kitchen it's best to eat it
straight away while it's warm
and delicious you want to cut it into nice
small pieces and enjoy it for breakfast lunch
or dinner and you will get a nice
potato and meat filling in each bite
and just want to show you how it looks
inside gosh it's
so delicious I hope you try this and don't forget to subscribe
