Pyrizhky are Ukrainian yeast buns that are ideal for using up leftover boiled potatoes. Whole-wheat dough is filled with mashed potatoes mixed with sauteed onion and dill, then baked.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

15 min

Dissolve the fresh yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the mixture to the whole-wheat flour with the salt, egg, and oil, then knead.

2

Let the dough rise

45 min

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

3

Make the filling

10 min

Mash the leftover boiled potatoes and mix them with the sauteed onion and dill. Let the filling cool completely.

4

Fill and shape the buns, then let them rise again

20 min

Divide the dough into pieces, fill each with the cooled potato mixture, and seal. Arrange on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise one more time.

5

Bake

25 min

Bake in the preheated oven until golden. Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

Reminder
