Piroshki (Russian pasties)

These are small pies (pasties, stuffed buns), very popular in Russia and other East European countries. Pirozhki (English variant - Piroshki) can be savoury or sweet (with every filling imaginable), pan fried or oven baked, made with yeast or without. These ones are pan fried made with the yeasted dough, for incredibly soft pillowy Pirozhki that melt in your mouth.

The recipe is adapted from Mamushka by Olia Hercules.

Apricot and Peach Lattice Pie

This recipe is Russian. This pastry is called "floater dough", because you will need a big bowl (or saucepan) of water to drown the dough in. The pastry is not like a tart - be prepared for some pillowy breadiness instead.

The recipe is taken from "Mamushka" by Olia Hercules.
