Ingredients:
Dough:
1 1/2 tbsp oil
15 oz luke warm water
4 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp Active Dry Yeast
1 tbsp sugar
Filling:
2 to 3 apples peeled, cored and chopped finely
1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon per piroshok
Enough canola oil to go half-way up the side of the piroshki when frying.
Extra flour to dust the cutting board
Preparation:
1. Mix oil, water, flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Let dough rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
2. Put the finished dough onto a well floured cutting board, sprinkle dough with flour and with well-floured hands, shape it into a large log. It will rise more as it sits on the board.
3. Cut off pieces one at a time about 3/4″ thick.
4. Place the piece of dough over your well-floured hand (dough will be sticky) and shape it into a 3″ to 4″ circle using your hands. Do not put flour on the side where you are going to put the apples, otherwise the sides won’t seal.
5. Put 1/4 tsp sugar in the centre of the dough and put 1 heaping tbsp of apple over the sugar. cover the apple with the sides of the dough and pinch the ends together with your fingers to seal the dough together.
6. Flatten the pirozhki slightly to make them a more uniform size.
7. Heat oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan. There should be enough oil to cover the pirozhki half-way up the side.
8. Place them in the hot oil (about 330°F) and fry until deep golden brown on each side. They should sizzle when you put them in the oil. Sometimes they puff up a lot on one side so you may end up with a third side that needs to be fried.
9. Place on paper towels to cool and enjoy!
