Instructions for the Dough

1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the flour. Mix well using a whisk until fully combined.
2. Gradually add the flour, kneading until you have a smooth and soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. Adjust the flour as needed.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 35–40 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into small balls, approximately 25–30 g each, and roll them out into thin disks, about the size of a small plate.

Instructions for the Filling

1. Clean the spinach thoroughly, chop it into medium-sized pieces, and let it drain in a colander.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes.
3. Add the spinach and salt, stir, and cover the pan for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
4. Uncover the pan, stir, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
5. Remove from heat, stir in the dill, and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.

Assembling the Piroshki

1. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough disk.
2. Fold the edges and seal tightly to ensure the filling doesn’t escape during frying.
3. Heat enough olive oil in a deep pot for frying. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
4. Fry 5–6 piroshki at a time for 2–3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown.
