I've had three different types of Pirozhki for over 15 years before I started making my own. I'm a firm believer that Russian food is delicious and carefully crafted, but to learn from a woman who lived down the street made amazing things possible. Cheers!
I also just came looking for a good pirozhki recipe for the family Easter celebration, which, if you are Orthodox (as we are) is this weekend. I am Ukrainian, lived 5 years in Moscow, and I miss the old country foods. I'm always on the lookout for recipes. When I saw that you had posted one for Borodinsky (бородинский хлеб) my heart sang. Please keep up the Russian recipes! You are so entertaining; I've never seen anyone cook in such a humorous manner!
Wow! I love this guy. Solid recipes and hilariously entertaining videos. I just subscribed and turned on the ding-dong lol. We're going to be cooking Russian around here for the next few days!
Great detail I love how you really make sure you go over the exact process. I know this is how grandmother would want me to do it. And you prove that Russians are funny
awesome vid! i have a russian background (rip grand father) but i only learnt a couple of words and some traditional recipes, i love when you share russians recipes..... please continue. also im afermentation nerd, so some new crazy fermentation stuff will come in handy too keep it up, love your work! cheers!
I wish I came here first, I just made a poor man’s Pirozhki that I found online. The filling was ground beef minced garlic and rice. They were meh, these look amazing I will follow your recipe for dough and meat filling next time. But as a butcher, I know finding turkey hearts out of season (thanksgiving) in the US is almost impossible so I might just use chuck and livers. Spasibo!
Only needed to see a single video to sub. Brilliant editing, charisma, innuendo and skills. I made some pirozhki for the first time yesterday in my introduction to Russian foods, and did not use this recipe, and... well... let's say they could have turned out better. I will use yours in the future, and because of your personality, I'll be looking at your other stuff too! Thank you for your effort.
This is the first time that I visit your channel. I was looking for a good recipe for piroshki and then found yours. You bring it in a funny way and I like that. So……I subscribed! Hope to see a lot of nice videos of you! 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Wondering why I am watching this amazing video while I was looking for a scones recipe…never knew you could freeze a filling, never did this (pure Russian). From ~Russia~ France with love.
i would probably develop some kind of problem after eating these. I would make them all the time. every. single. day. they look amazing, my friend. thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
Отлично!!! Saffa learning Russian over here. Also a food lover, so your content is frikken right up my alley. It's pretty basic, but would you consider making a video on сало and the best ways to enjoy it? Спасибо!
Cool man! Noted! Love сало way more than I should so, should definitely make a video on it. Good call! Some nice Russian phrases you might not learn everyday in there for you)
I love the traditional Pirozhki, but the very finest I've ever had was a pre-revolution Romanov-style pirozhok made from egg-glazed puff pastry, filled with minced veal cooked with veal demi-grace, and plated with Sauce Béarnaise. The restaurant that served it is no longer around after about fifty years of business, but I will remember this sublime perfection for the rest of my life.
So why did you not put the salt into the meat but into the onions? 🤔 havent seen anyone else asking. This recipe is a lot of work, but the end results are worth it, it seems by looking at them. Btw. What do you use under your parchment paper, to stick to the pan? Just water or anthg else?
I have a bread kvass video and a koji growing video coming out in the near future. Stay tuned and a bit patient pls. Still running a catering company and restaurant consultancy so here things can take a while sometimes.))
@@PantsDownApronsOnI'm so sorry, I can see how that came out rather demanding-not my intention! What I meant was yes! I would be interested in any additional fermentation videos if you did them. 🙂 I will check out the videos you mentioned in your comment (thank you) and I await (patiently 😊) any additional! Thanks for the great content and apologies for my accidental rudeness.
I wish I knew where to get hearts, only available online and cost a fortune to ship. We used to have pirozhki with animal organs only(liver, lungs, hearts etc), I still remember the taste. When they were hot(deep fried , I guess they were, fried for sure), you could eat your tongue with it, like we used to say. And they were cheap, like dirt. I was looking for the channel ran by American but cooking Russian food using American ingredients. I got it!!!!! More Russian food recipes, please!!!!
When I was very young, frozen supermarket pirozhki was an extremely rare and heavenly treat. I've spent 30 years desperately yearning, and failing, to find them again. Today I drcided to make them myself.... and I'm very eager to try your recipe!! However, the recipe calls for 18-20 minutes at 338°F My oven only heats at either 325° or 350°F ...what adjustment do you recommend?
Trying your meat and kapusta pirozhki but having a problem shaping the mince after cooking - it wont hold a shape. Any trick to getting the meat more stiff? BTW just finished making your Medovik for the second time. The wife loves it!
Great work! Cool the meat down before shaping it because the fat need to solidify the mix. If your mince is very lean add a bit of potato puree to bind it.
Draws out moisture and makes browning difficult. Unless you have a huge wok burner. In that case a little water instantly evaporates and stuff browns. But who has a wok burner nowadays..
I like a very simple cabbage, potato and ham hock soup with plenty of garlic, parsley and black pepper. If you don’t like pork then change it for chicken or beef. Very important to use preferably savoy cabbage and not to add it too soon. The meat, potatoes and garlic should be falling apart before adding the green stuff and seasoning. Also nice to add a smoky element or just a touch of smoking liquid
I eat a lot of cabbage, so was wondering if there was a Russian cabbage soup... I usually make it with cabbage, lots of butter, lots of garlic, and cheat and use uncured honey smoked ham lunch meat... which I add after it is cooked... I tried adding it at the beginning, and the flavor cooked out. I tried using the meat of some of my quail roosters, and found out I like the eggs, but don't like the taste or smell of quail meat, so need to find a cover up recipe... I also really like the German Rotkohl made with purple cabbage, but have never made it!
If you eat pork….Smoked pork ribs makes an amazing cabbage soup. There is a russian cabbage soup called “shee” . Here’s one we use in the kitchen as a base: 500 g meat on the bone 1,5L water or stock 300 g sauerkraut or fresh cabbage 300g onions chopped 20g crushed garlic 500g potatoes diced 300g tomatoes diced 200g carrot grated 10g tomato paste vegetable oil for frying 4 bay leaves 6 all spice berries 10g salt 10g sugar 2g black pepper dill, parsley, sour cream for serving. 1. Fry the onion, grated carrots garlic until soft. 2. Add the tomato paste and cook it out. 3. Add the meat, potatoes, tomatoes, liquid and spices.(don’t add the salt yet) 4. Simmer very slowly until the soup has a deep flavour. About 1,5 hours. 5. Add the cabbage and cook for 15 minutes more. 6. Add the salt, sugar and adjust with more seasoning to your liking. Ps. I like using a mix of fresh and fermented cabbage 50/50.
@@PantsDownApronsOn That sounds great with pork ribs! Just found a Polish cabbage recipe (Kapusniak) on the internet that uses smoked pork ribs that I will have to try... The Russian recipe sounds good too... I've never tried cabbage with tomatoes, but sounds good... Thanks! I am probably the chef's worst nightmare... I am allergic to onions! 🙃
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.... spandex... damp stained cloth ... Where the heck am I going to find those?... Might need to go to the old country to find them... Hugs from Esquimalt
Your Pirozhki is gorgeous, but did you that the is a restaurant chain in America called Runza that sell Pirozhki (they call them runza). They are delicious and have a passionate following, but clearly not as refined as your's. It would be interesting if you ordered some of their frozen 'runza' to critique.
These look similar to kolaches. I made kolaches once and there were three separate times you had to let them rise. They were amazing. What is the different between kolaches and pirozhki?
I just came to this channel looking for a recipe I didn't expect it to be as entertaining as you made it.

As a longtime lover and devourer of Grandma’s, Mom’s and other Russian pirozhki, I can tell you that it’s incredibly cool !!!
Yes more Russian recipes and more fermentation recipes!! Would love to see some sourkraut and other fermented wonders.
Yes, please, more Russian recipes! I was there for a couple of months years ago. Loved the food and the people.
