Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 packet dry yeast
- 150 g lukewarm water
- 150 g lukewarm milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter (lukewarm)
- 1 egg
- 600 g all-purpose flour
For the filling:
- 300 g beans
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- A handful of parsley, finely chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions
For the dough:
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the flour. Mix well using a whisk.
- Gradually add the flour while kneading until the dough is smooth and soft, just enough to not stick to your hands. Adjust the flour if needed.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 35–40 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls, about 25–30 g each, and flatten them into thin disks roughly the size of a small plate.
For the bean filling:
- Soak the beans in plenty of water overnight.
- In the morning, rinse the beans, place them in a pressure cooker, and boil for 30–35 minutes until tender. Drain well.
- Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
- Add the cooked beans to the pan and sauté for another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and remove from heat.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and let the filling cool for about 10 minutes.
Assembling the piroshki:
- Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough disk.
- Fold the edges over the filling and seal them tightly along the seam to prevent oil from entering during frying.
Frying the piroshki:
- Heat enough olive oil in a deep pot to submerge the piroshki. Test the oil with a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
- Fry 5–6 piroshki at a time for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
