Ingredients

• 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend includes it)
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Warm milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy alternative)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (or dairy-free substitute)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 cups Green cabbage (finely shredded)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if needed), yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and stir in the melted butter.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat one egg and add it to the milk mixture.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead gently by hand or with a dough hook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Add the ground beef, cooking and breaking it up until no longer pink, about 8 minutes.

Step 9

Add the shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper, stirring until the cabbage is wilted and tender. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 11

Once the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Gently flatten each piece into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Step 12

Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, creating a half-moon shape.

Step 13

Place the sealed piroshki seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with the egg wash.

Step 14

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 15

Let the piroshki cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
