Piroshki Recipe
1 1/2 teaspoon yeast
2/4 teaspoon brown sugar
3/4 cups hot water
1 egg
2 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 or more cups flour - one half white, one half whole wheat
Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the water, allow to sit for fifteen minutes. Beat egg, add oil. Add oil and egg to yeast mixture. Stir in the salt and start beating in flour a little bit at a time cup at a time until dough is dry and doesn't stick to your hands. Knead for five to ten minutes, place in lightly oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise for 2 hours.
Roll dough and divide into rounds of about four or five inches and relatively thick so they won't fall apart when you fold and press them. Fill with filling, fold over into a half circle, brush with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

I like ham and cheese, beef and cheese, and chicken and herbs for the fillings. But really, you can stuff them with anything.
