Cabbage piroshki recipe

Hearty classic of Russian cuisine

In addition to the sweet piroshki with apple jam, the savory stewed cabbage piroshki is a popular classic of Russian cuisine. This is because white cabbage, like apples, often grows in the home garden.

While the fruit is made into homemade apple jam, white cabbage is used to make a variety of spicy dishes, including vareniki with white cabbage, stewed cabbage, coleslaw with sour cream, and the piroshki.

In addition to potato piroshki, piroshki with beans and piroshki with egg and leek filling, the stewed cabbage piroshki are also served in Russia for lunch or dinner, to satisfy a small appetite in between meals or to take the buns with you on the road. They taste delicious both hot and cold.

Fried cabbage piroshki

These braised white cabbage piroshki you can not only bake in the oven, but also fry in a pan.

In this case, you do not need to let the filled dumplings rise, but you can fry them directly in vegetable oil.

For this, put plenty of vegetable oil in a deep pan and heat it. If you want the piroshki to have a crispy crust on the outside, they must float in vegetable oil while frying.

Now fry the buns over low to medium heat, first from the seam side, then from the other side until golden brown.

Simple braised white cabbage buns recipe

The recipe for the Russian cabbage piroshki, which you can find here at the end of the post in the recipe box, is very simple. You just need to allow some time for the dough to rise.

First, make the white cabbage filling. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and steam them with tomato juice until the cabbage is cooked.

Then knead the ingredients into a soft yeast dough and let it rise for an hour.

Divide the dough into pieces, fill each piece with the stewed cabbage and let the filled buns rise for 20 minutes.

Then put the piroshki in the oven and wait for a short time. After about 25 minutes you can serve them.

How to make braised white cabbage buns: tips and tricks

  • You can prepare the white cabbage filling the day before and store it in the refrigerator overnight. However, take it out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before filling the buns so that it can become room warm.
  • Use only room warm and lukewarm ingredients for the yeast dough so it can rise quickly.
  • You can use dry yeast** instead of fresh yeast. For the recipe below you need 6 – 7 g of it.
  • The amount of flour given in the recipe may vary. Add flour in batches until you get a soft dough. It should not be mushy, but also not too firm or dry.
  • Be sure to knead the yeast dough for about 7 – 10 minutes to make it elastic and pliable.
  • Tape the edges of the buns as tightly as possible to prevent them from rising during baking.
  • Instead of baking in the oven, you can pan fry the cabbage piroshki. Read my notes on this above.
