Yeast Dough for Pirozhki
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. I think that today we bake pies less and less often—traditional pies of Slavic cuisine with various savory and sweet fillings. Many justify not wanting to bake pies by saying that pie dough takes a very long time and is difficult to make. Nonsense! Yeast-dough pies are a purely Slavic invention, and the Slavs were hardworking laborers and plowmen; they had no time to spend hours on cooking—they had prepared simple, hearty dishes since time immemorial. If yeast dough for pies were difficult to make, the pies themselves would never have become as popular as they were until recently. So, I suggest we break the stereotype and bake some pies. A simple yeast dough recipe for pies is here to help you. Good luck! The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
