🇷🇺 Russia recipe

Pirozhki

Pirozhki are the ultimate Russian street food and home comfort, small golden hand pies that can be baked or fried and filled with virtually anything the cook has on hand. This classic version features a pillowy yeasted dough wrapped around a savory filling of seasoned beef and onion. Whether packed into a lunch box, served alongside soup, or eaten piping hot from the fryer, pirozhki are irresistible.
