WHAT DOES PIROZHKI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pirozhki

Pirozhki

Pirozhki, sometimes transliterated as pyrizhky, is a generic word for individual-sized baked or fried buns stuffed with a variety of fillings. The stress in pirozhki is properly placed on the last syllable:. Pirozhok is the diminutive form of the Russian cognate pirog, which refers to a full-sized pie. The Russian plural of this word, pirogi, is not to be confused with pierogi in Polish cuisine, which are similar to the Russian pelmeni or Ukrainian varenyky. A common variety of pirozhki are baked stuffed buns made from yeast dough and often glazed with egg to produce the common golden colour. They commonly contain meat or a vegetable filling. Pirozhki could also be stuffed with fish or with an oatmeal filling mixed with meat or giblets. Sweet-based fillings could include stewed or fresh fruit, jam, quark or cottage cheese. The buns may be plain and stuffed with the filling, or else be made in a free-form style with strips of dough decoratively encasing the filling. Potatoes among American crops became very popular when the vegetable was brought and adopted to the Eurasian climate.
