Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

- Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each circle, fold over, and pinch the edges to seal.
- Place the piroshki on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
