Russian pirozhki, not to be confused with Polish pirogi, are similar to pasties but are made with leavened pillowy dough and can be filled with all sorts of delicious ingredients: minced meat, sauerkraut and potatoes, wild mushrooms, salmon & rice, eggs & spring onions, or stewed apples and fresh berries! They are pan fried or can be baked (for a healthier though less fun option). It is an absolute culinary icon often associated with the revered figure of the Russian Babushka. Babushka’s pirozhki hold a special place in everyone’s heart!

In this class we will learn how to make the beautiful pillowy dough (recipe of my own Babushka, of course!), how to make 4 different fillings (meat, veggie x2 and fruit), how to shape and cook them! A hands-on interactive 2 hours class, you will learn many practical skills as well as some cultural insights into Russian customs around food!

Please note you will need to make the dough in advance and I will send you a pre-recorded tutorial on this once you book. I will also provide recipes and a shopping list in a class handout together with a Zoom link 48 hours before the class.
