- approx. 420 g flour
- 17 g fresh yeast
- 20 g sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (room-warm)
- vegetable oil for the work surface

Instructions
Preparation of the dough
- Dissolve fresh yeast and sugar in lukewarm water.

- Knead the dough briefly and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preparation of the filling
- Finely grate carrots, put them in the pan with a little vegetable oil and fry them over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
- Add sugar and continue stir-frying them for about 5 more minutes.
Preparation of the piroshki
- Lightly grease the work surface with vegetable oil.
- Divide the dough into small pieces and flatten each piece.
- Put the carrot filling on each piece of dough, fold its sides together, stick them and flatten the resulting filled buns a bit.
- Put plenty of vegetable oil into the pan and heat it. Fry the piroshki with carrot filling in it over low to medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sugar for the filling according to your taste.
- You can add different spices and flavors to the carrot filling.
- Instead of fresh yeast you can use dry yeast. For the recipe you need 6 g of it.
- The amount of flour may vary. Therefore, add the flour in portions until the yeast dough has the right consistency. It should be very soft and a bit sticky before kneading, but not mushy and not too firm or dry.
- Grease the work surface and possibly your hands, if the dough is a bit sticky, only lightly with vegetable oil when shaping the filled buns. Under no circumstances should the dough pieces float in vegetable oil, otherwise the sides will not stick together.
