Ingredients



For the Dough

2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp oil
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup warm milk
1/3 cup warm water
1½ tsp active dry yeast
1½ tsp granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour sifted

Savory Filling :

¾ lb chicken thighs or breast, cubed finely
1 tsp oil
½ large onion finely chopped
3 Tbsp butter divided
3 cups cabbage shredded finely
2 small carrots grated
2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup water
1½ tsp ketchup
1½ tsp sour cream
3 Tbsp favorite herbs I mixed parsley and dill
1 egg + 1 tsp water beaten for egg wash
½ tsp sesame seeds optional

Method

Prepare dough:

1. Prepare dough. In a bowl, whisk mayo, oil, salt, water and milk. Sprinkle yeast over top of the mixture and sprinkle sugar over yeast. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel, let sit 5 minutes for the yeast to activate and become foamy.
2. Gradually add flour, mix until flour is well incorporated. Set dough aside to rise at room temperature, covered, 1½ to 2 hours

Prepare filling:

1. In a large skillet, on med/high heat, cook chicken on 1 tsp oil until fully cooked (about 2-3 minutes), stirring as needed. Remove from the skillet.
2. Sauté onion on 1 Tbsp butter until tender, stirring frequently. Add the 2 Tbsp butter, cabbage, carrots, garlic and water. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until cabbage is desired tenderness.
3. Add the ketchup, sour cream, herbs and the chicken that was set aside. Cook another minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat to cool.

How to assemble the pirog:

1. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 2 equal parts (cover second dough). Roll out until about 12” round.

2. Take half of the cabbage filling and place it into the center of the dough, spread evenly (leaving about 3” of dough uncovered around the edges).

3. Gently start pulling the edges of the dough over the filling into the center to close it. Continue going around until cabbage is completely covered. Pinch seams together.

4. Gently, flip it over. Flatten the it as needed so it’s even in size and so the filling is evenly distributed. Gently flip  and repeat with second time

5. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds and let rise 30-45 minutes.

6. Bake in a preheated oven to 400°F 18-22 minutes, until golden in color.
