👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
For the dough: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast. - 2
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and oil/butter. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Kneading develops gluten, resulting in a soft and airy dough. - 3
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: A slightly warm oven (turned off) is a good place for dough to rise. - 4
For the filling: Rinse buckwheat groats and cook in water until tender and water is absorbed. Let cool slightly.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Cook buckwheat until just tender, not mushy. - 5
In a bowl, combine the cooked buckwheat, crumbled farmer's cheese, sautéed onion, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Ensure the onion is finely chopped and sautéed until translucent. - 6
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Work with one piece of dough at a time, keeping the others covered. - 7
Flatten each dough ball into a circle. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the buckwheat-cheese filling in the center. Pinch the edges together to seal, forming a bun. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Ensure the pyrizhky are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out. - 8
Place the pyrizhky on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rest for another 20-30 minutes.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: This second rise helps create a lighter texture. - 9
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Whisk egg yolk with milk for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the pyrizhky with the egg wash.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: The egg wash gives the pyrizhky a golden, shiny finish. - 10
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Serve with sour cream or a fresh herb salad.
