Instructions for piroshki dough:
Before going to the piroshki goosht recipe tutorial, we must say that you can use ready-made piroshki dough or bread to prepare them, or you can make them yourself at home.
Of course, the method for preparing all kinds of Piroshki Goosht with dough, made by hand, is the same; the only difference is the type of dough.
1. At the beginning of the work, we mix the yeast dough with sugar and half a cup of warm water and mix well.
To prepare the dough, we pour the ingredients into a bowl with a lid and place it in a warm place so that the dough bubbles. When it reaches this stage, it is done.
2. After the dough is ready, put it in a large bowl, add eggs, salt, and a little liquid oil to it, and mix it. We continue to do this until the ingredients are completely uniform.
3. Add flour to the homogenized ingredients and knead by hand. At the end, the dough should become sticky; if this does not happen, you should add more flour.
It is even possible that the added flour is too much, which causes the dough to dry and harden; in this case, you should add a little water and knead again.
4. The prepared dough should be kneaded for about 15 minutes. After this, grease a bowl, put the dough in it, and let it rest. Cover the dough with cellophane and place it warm and moisture-free for an hour.
5. After this period, the dough is ready, and you can proceed to the steps of preparing the inner ingredients.
Instructions for inner ingredients:
In the following, we have taught the steps of making piroshki goosht in the simplest possible way.
1. To prepare this, in the first step, you should wash the onion well and then peel it. After that, finely chop the onion.
2. Pour enough oil into a suitable pan and let it heat up well, then add the onions and spices to the pan and fry until the onions are completely golden and the aroma of the spices is released.
3. Add the minced meat you took out of the refrigerator 20 minutes ago to the pan and fry it with onions and spices. Continue doing this until the meat is completely fried and its color changes.
4. After cooking the meat, we should add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and fry them with the other ingredients.
Adding some lemon juice at this stage is better if you want to prevent the mushrooms from turning black. Doing this will also make the food taste better.
5. After you’ve sautéed the mushrooms for a bit, it’s time to add the bell peppers. It is better to chop the bell pepper into small pieces, add it to other ingredients, and fry it again.
6. When the ingredients are finished frying, add the tomato paste that you fried before and the rawness of it has been removed from the ingredients and stir. Also, taste the ingredients; if the spice is lacking, add it again.
7. Your piroshki ingredients are ready; you need to wrap them.
8. Knead the dough thoroughly to remove the excess air inside it. Then, smooth it with a rolling pin and spread it evenly on the surface.
The diameter of the rolled dough should be about half a centimeter so that the dough is not too thick.
9. Now, mold the dough using a circular or circular container.
10. Pour some piroshki ingredients into the molded dough; if you like, add some pizza cheese and then wrap it in a semicircle.
Also, press the edges with a knife or fork so it does not open during cooking.
11. After preparing the ingredients, you should grease the oven tray and place the piroshki on the tray at a distance.
You can also use a mixture of egg yolk and liquid oil to roll the piroshki. If you like, you can also pour some sesame seeds on them.
12. Now, you have to heat the oven 15 minutes before at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius, then put this appetizer in the oven for 20 minutes, and remove it when it turns golden. Your piroshki is ready, and you can serve it with your favorite sauce.
