Beef Pirozhki

This is the kind of Russian snack you’ll make on repeat — all-purpose flour and milk, 90 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 24 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 Onion
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tbsp Dill

Steps

1. Make the yeast dough and rise 1 hour until doubled and pillowy.
2. Brown the beef with diced onion until cooked through; season boldly and cool — hot filling melts the dough.
3. Fold in one chopped hard-boiled egg and the dill for the classic flavor.
4. Divide the dough into 16 pieces; fill, seal, and shape into ovals.
5. Rise 15 minutes, brush with egg wash, and bake at 375 degrees 18 minutes until burnished.
6. Cool on a rack; the filling stays juicy inside the soft, buttery crumb.
