Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 240 milliliters milk
• 7 grams active dry yeast
• 25 grams sugar
• 5 grams salt
• 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 15 milliliters vegetable oil
• 500 grams ground beef
• 300 grams cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 5 grams salt (for filling)
• 3 grams black pepper
• 1 large egg yolk
• 15 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 37°C (98°F) and dissolve the sugar and yeast in it. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

Step 3

Pour the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg into the well. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Step 8

Add ground beef to the pan, cooking until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

Step 9

Add the chopped cabbage to the beef and onion mixture; cook until the cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Season the filling with salt and black pepper. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool.

Step 11

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16 equal pieces.

Step 12

Roll each piece of dough into a small circle on a floured surface.

Step 13

Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle.

Step 14

Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal.

Step 15

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 16

Place the piroshki on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.

Step 17

Mix the egg yolk with water and brush over each piroshki for a glossy finish.

Step 18

Bake the piroshki for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 19

Serve warm or at room temperature.
