Pirozhki with Lactarius mushrooms
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Salted boletus mushrooms make not only an excellent snack but also a wonderful filling for buns! I offer you a step-by-step recipe for boletus buns. The buns will turn out tasty, filling, and appetizing in appearance. By the way, to give the dough a beautiful golden hue and keep it soft longer, I recommend adding 2–3 tablespoons of unrefined mustard oil. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
