Persian Piroshki:From Dough to Filling
Soft Homemade Dough, Flavorful Meat Filling, Signature Sauce & Beautiful Shaping Techniques
Piroshki has its roots in Russian and Eastern European cuisine, where small portions of dough are traditionally filled with savory ingredients and either fried or baked. Over time, this beloved stuffed pastry found its way into Iranian cooking and became a nostalgic favorite, evolving into different versions influenced by local flavors, ingredients, and family traditions.
In this workshop, we’ll create my own Persian-style meat piroshki, inspired by the warm, aromatic flavors of Southern Iran. The result is a beautifully golden piroshki with a generous, deeply flavorful meat filling and a subtle touch of heat — flavorful and well-balanced rather than overwhelmingly spicy.
At the heart of this workshop is an exceptionally soft, light, and versatile homemade dough. You’ll learn how to prepare it completely from scratch and use the same dough successfully with three different cooking methods: traditional deep-frying, oven-baking, and air-frying. We’ll cover proper mixing, proofing, rolling, filling, and sealing to achieve a tender, fluffy texture with a beautiful golden exterior.
We’ll also prepare a rich and savory meat filling, learning how to layer spices and aromatics while controlling moisture so the filling stays flavorful without making the dough soggy. To complete the piroshki, we’ll make a signature homemade sauce specifically created to complement the flavors of the filling.
Finally, you’ll learn 2–3 different folding and shaping techniques, giving you several beautiful ways to present your piroshki using the same dough and filling.

“Another wonderful class with Leili! 🤍 I recently took her Piroshki class, and I absolutely loved it. The recipe was delicious, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the final result was not only incredibly tasty but also beautiful enough to become the centerpiece of my appetizer table. I served the piroshki at my fall gathering, and they instantly made the table look so chic, warm, and inviting. They were one of those appetizers that look impressive but, thanks to everything I learned in Leili’s class, I felt completely confident making them at home. One of the things I appreciate most about Leili’s classes is that I don’t just leave with a recipe—I leave with something I genuinely want to make again and serve to the people I love. These piroshki will definitely be making another appearance on my table! ❤️ Thank you, Leili, for another beautiful and delicious addition to my cooking repertoire. 🥰”
