Russian pirozhki buns class

Pirozhki is a word pretty much synonymous with the word babushka. I would struggle to find any Russian kid who didn’t go to visit their grandma for a meal of freshly baked or fried stuffed buns and tea. While the tradition of eating pirozhki out of your granny’s loving hands is firmly ingrained in Russian popular culture, these hot buns stuffed with all sorts of fillings were also a widespread street food in the Soviet days. And guess what, the vendor would more often than not be a babushka.


So let’s return to the warm and most importantly safe environment of our babushka’s kitchen to enjoy the pillowy, squeaky dough filled with such delightful ingredients as mushrooms, sauerkraut, cabbage and boiled eggs, or minced meat and onions. In this class we will learn how to make the light leavened dough from my granny’s original recipe, as well as 3 filings!

A zoom link, along with a shopping list and ingredient list will be send 48-hours ahead of the class.
