Instructions
Preparing to Make Piroshki
Place dough ingredients in the bread machine and select the dough program. Takes about 90 minutes for the dough cycle to complete.
Fry ground beef until evenly browned. Add onions and fry until translucent. Mix together with the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
Assembling Piroshki
When the dough cycle is done, place onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a long sausage shape. Cut pieces of dough the size of a golf ball, it doesn't have to be perfect. You should get 24 pieces from this recipe.
Roll each dough balls thinly shaped ovals. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling in the centre. Pinch both sides of the edges of the dough together, creating a seal all around. Don't allow the filling to touch the edges or the seal will come apart.
Place the Piroshki upside down on baking paper so you cannot see the pinched seal, and flatten them a bit. Don't allow them to touch each other, as they will stick together.
Make the egg wash by beating the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of whipping cream and brush the piroshki with the egg wash before putting into the oven.
Place into the oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
