Potato or Meat Pies a.k.a PIROJKI
This is a hands down winner in our family. Pirojki. They are believed to have originated from Russia, but have well blended into the cuisine of Azerbaijan and are popular both among the grownups and children alike. These dough pockets, stuffed with savory fillings such as cabbage, mashed green peas, potato or meat, can be either deep fried or baked in the oven. Usually deep fried “pirojki” is sold as fast food in bakeries, cafeterias and by street vendors.
I am posting the recipe for the baked pirojki with 2 fillings to choose from - one is a vegetarian delight and the other is sure to satisfy meat lovers. Follow this recipe to make potato OR meat pockets, and enjoy them with a cup of hot sweet tea or just plain! I know one thing for sure, once ready, these golden delights go fast! So… don’t miss your share! The recipe for the dough comes from Deniz, our family friend in Turkiye (this dough is very similar to the Russian pirojki dough).
PIROJKI
Preparation time: 30 minutes, plus 1 ½ hours dough rising time
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Makes 22-25 pies
For the Dough
½ cup (4fl oz / 125ml) lukewarm water
1 package active dry yeast (1/4 oz / 7g)
3 cups (15oz / 470g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sugar
½ cup (4fl oz / 125ml) milk
1 egg + 1 egg white (reserve the yolk for glazing)
½ cup oil (4fl oz / 125ml)
For the Filling
Potato filling:
3 tablespoons oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro (coriander), or parsley or dill
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Meat filling:
3 tablespoons oil
1 small onion, chopped
13 oz (375g) ground beef
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
For Glazing
1 egg yolk
VARIATION: Another delicious variation would be to stuff the pockets with crumbled white cheese, such as feta, mixed with chopped fresh parsley.
COOK’S TIP: For the yeast to work best, all ingredients should be at room temperature. Remove the eggs from refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to adding them to the dough.
COOK’S TIP: If you used up all of the filling and still have some dough left, you can make small dinner rolls. Brush the remaining dough ball with egg yolk, sprinkle with some poppy, nigella or sesame seeds and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden.
1. Prepare the dough. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let stand for about 5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and mix. Add the yeast mixture, milk, eggs and oil and stir using your hands until a rough ball forms. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes. Put the dough into a large bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or a plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in bulk. The dough should look puffy and be soft when poked with a finger.
2. In the meantime, prepare the filling. To prepare the potato filling, in a medium non-stick frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until lightly brown. In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes (I like to leave it slightly coarse). Add the fried onion, fresh herbs, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
To prepare the meat filling, in a medium non-stick frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the meat and stir-fry together for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a smoother filling, grind the mixture in a food processor until you obtain a desired consistency. (That’s what I usually do and I love the result).
3. Gentry press down on the dough to release the gases that have built up during the rising. The dough should not be sticky. Divide the dough into small balls about 1 ½ inches (3.8 cm) in diameter You should be able to make 22-25 balls.
4. At this stage you can use either method to shape your pirojki- whichever you are comfortable with. Method A: Using a wooden rolling pin, roll out each ball into a circle about 4 inches (10cm) in diameter. Place a tablespoonful of filling on the circle, lift the edges towards the center and press to seal. Gently pat the pocket to flatten it slightly. Continue with the rest of the dough. Method B: Since the dough is very elastic, it is easy to handle with hands. You can flatten, stretch, fill and seal the dough, holding it in your palm and using your other hand. Just like in the pictures below. I use this method. It’s quick and easy.
5. Place the dough pockets on a baking sheet seam side down, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, and allow to rest for about 15 minutes.
6. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350F (180C).7. Brush the pockets with egg yolk and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden. NUSH OLSUN! ENJOY!

My Oma used to make these all the time, and even when I was a vegetarian I would still eat the bacon ones as they’re too good to resist.

Oh, Farida … these are beautiful! They remind me of a Russian pastry I had a few months ago, but yours look so much better
I planned to make something sweet this weekend, but you may have just changed my mind.
30. Scott at Realepicurean | April 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Interesting! My wife makes something so similar called Pierogi - she’s Polish.
Amazing how food travels the globe!

Im always looking for something that is different, delicous and is easy for someone with my limited cooking abilities to cook, this fits the bill and the instructions are easy to follow.
32. farida | April 7th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Vi: Glad you like it! Just saw your Zebra cake on you blog. Good job! Thank you for your flattering words about my blog, too:)
Allen: There is another recipe for this pirojki, where you make a sponge first and then mix it with the the rest of the ingredients, but this one is easy and saves time. plus, the taste is great! Let me know how it turns out!
Scott: Welcome to my blog! Pirojki is small Pirogi. I think the variations of it are pretty popular in Eastern Europe and in ex-Soviet Union countries. You are right, food travels the globe:) there are no borders for it:)

Farida,
those yummy looking pirojki’s make me run to kitchen and cook it right away. I love pirojki so much ! it is not only dish but a wonderful childhood memories. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us!
38. Emel | April 14th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Hi Farida,
I did it today. They turned out just great. Austin was impressed by the dough itself. We have the big batch of pirojkis with potato, meet and feta cheese, so come join us :). Actually i experimented and added some oregano to cheese and Austin suggested some shredded mozzarella. So it turned out very tasty ( i think it reminded me the taste of pizza tiny bit).
I could not resist the idea of making pirojki
Thanks again for this wonderful recipe!
39. farida | April 14th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Emel, I am so glad you tried the recipe and it is great that it turned out delicious! I think by the time we arrive at your house no pirojki will be left:)) so we decided postponing visiting you now:)) Enjoy!
40. Lily | April 15th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I just finished making these and they are amazing :). So light and fluffy, and the potato filling is a wonderful complement to the bread.
I’ll be making these again with different fillings.

Hi, just stumbled on your blog, following the link of your zebra cake, will definitely try it this weekend. I browsed more recipes and found this one. Another addition to my to do list. By the way, is there a way i can print your recipes, if its ok? thanks…
jinky
57. jinky | January 18th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Hi Farida,
At last i was able to made this yesterday. I dont have any fresh parsley at hand so i used the dried ones and added some green spring onions. It turned out fine but i would definitely try using the fresh herbs, coz i know the taste will really be different. I was also able to made some rolls to the leftover dough and topped it with sesame seeds. The good thing about this dough is that the bread doesn’t get hard the following day. Its still soft to the bite! A big thanks to you for sharing this recipe and others. Speaking of which I also made the Zebra cake last Christmas. Will post my comment there.
So glad you made pirojki. Yes, go with fresh herbs next time. It will make all the difference. If you like cilantro, it works great too. Thanks for trying. Enjoy:) Off to read your zebra cake comment.

64. Sevil | September 22nd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Salam Farida Xanim!. Thank you for recipies…i just made a dough and waiting for it rise…just wondering if i did something wrong because dough was very soft…i even added more flour than recipie said..but it still was very very soft…i hardly could pick it up to put to large ball..:-(..should i wait how it will come out in 1 hour..or i have to try to do dough again?…thank you your time.
65. FARIDA | September 22nd, 2009 at 8:28 pm
SEVIL: You are very welcome. I don’t know how soft your dough it, but it should be hard but not to tight and soft to touch. meaning, you should be able to shape it without having it stick to your hands. If it is too sticky, add more flour. If after one hour it has risen, but is till too soft, add some flour. Let me know how it turned out. I hope delicious. Enjoy!
66. farida | November 9th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
From one farida to another:
Hi,
My name is Farida as well and I’m from India. Your cooking blog/site is lovely. I love the pictures that you add detailing every step. Several of your Azerbaijani dishes are similar to Indian dishes, but with a slight Azerbaijini twist of course.
I made the pirojki as per your recipe and they turned out absolutely delicious. These are going to be a regular brunch item in my house from now on.
For the fillings, I did:
1. The cheese & herbs filling that you suggested: crumbled feta + mozarella + mint + basil + cilantro (I threw in all the herbs that I had) + pepper.
2. I made your potato filling with Indian spices - like in Indian samosas.
67. Natavan | November 11th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Hi Farida, great recipe!
I’d like to make it as soon as I can, but I have a question about oil which you mension many times for dough and for fillings. What kind of oil do you use? Olive, canola or clarified butter oil?
Thanks

71. FARIDA | February 4th, 2010 at 5:36 pm

73. Nithya | March 15th, 2010 at 3:07 am
I made the vegetarian version of the dish… and my husband asked me if i had bought it from the bakery.
This is the first time i have baked any kind of bread, but following your recipe, the bread was very soft and the dish was an instant hit at home. As suggest by you, i used the remaining dough to make dinner rolls for dinner.
Thank you.

I am useing Facebook and i favorited 1 page call Azerbaycan metbexi. I really thought that it is belongs to u. But i was reading old posts there and came across one post, that says actually it belongs to Nermin and Nezrin sisters. But pictures and resipes are from your site. Did not understand really? But, i would get really upset if someone uses my work and says that belong to anyother one.
77. Sarah | May 16th, 2010 at 8:28 pm

78. Vusala | May 26th, 2010 at 12:22 am
Made these a fortnight ago and received some positive feedback:) I used parsley in stuffing, I guess dill would be the most appropriate and delicious green to use. And the recipe was quite an easy one!
P.S. I’m becoming addicted to your ws:)

Hi Farida,

The dough for this *is* sticky and difficult to work with at first, but keep at it - the pies are soft and very tasty when served warm. I made both the potato and coriander and fetta and parsley versions, and my guests loved them.
Thanks for the recipe.
In order to get the dough into a large ball you will most likely need extra flour on your bench (or hands), but once you’ve let it rise you can roll it into smaller balls without much trouble

Hello Farida,
I tried your recipe yesterday. Very tasty and its super easy to make. It came out pretty good. I put mashed potatoes (onions, pepper jack, salt, pepper, sour cream, milk, butter) as a filling. I ll try meat next time. My mom used to make these with potatoes, beef, cabbage, eggs (+green onions), or fruits (like fresh cherries).
Thanks again,
Diana
