Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure even distribution of the yeast.
Next, gently warm the milk to about 35°C (95°F) and add it to the flour mixture along with the egg. Start mixing with a fork or whisk, combining the ingredients from the center and gradually incorporating the flour from the edges.
Once combined, you can either knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. If kneading by hand, work the dough until it becomes soft and elastic, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
After kneading, transfer the dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in a warm area to rise for about 1 hour. The dough should approximately double in size during this time.
Step 3
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Shred the cabbage and grate the carrots finely. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the cabbage and grated carrots to the skillet and cover. Sauté for about 1 minute until a slight golden color appears. Stir the mixture and season with salt, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are cooked.
Step 4
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 12 equal portions, rolling them into balls. Using a rolling pin, flatten each portion into a circle.
Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cabbage filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal, forming a small pastry. Place each pirozhok seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Cover the pirozhki with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for an additional 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Before baking, brush the tops of the pirozhki with a mixture of egg yolk and milk for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Step 6
Once baked, let the pirozhki cool slightly under a towel. Serve warm and enjoy these delightful Russian pastries with loved ones.
Servings
When your Cabbage Puffs come out of the oven, let them cool a bit before serving. They are delicious as is, but you could add some fun twists!
✨ Serve them alongside a vibrant dipping sauce, such as a tangy garlic yogurt or spicy mustard for a flavor blast! 🥙
🍽️ Pair these puffs with a refreshing salad featuring cherry tomatoes and cucumbers tossed in a light vinaigrette. It balances the flavors perfectly!
👪 For family gatherings, present your Cabbage Puffs in a charming basket lined with a cloth. They make fantastic finger foods that are sure to disappear quickly!
Equipment

Variations
For those with dietary preferences, these Cabbage Puffs can be adapted easily!
🌾 **Gluten-Free**: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure the blend contains xantham gum for better structure.
🌱 **Vegan**: Replace the egg with flaxseed meal (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water), use almond milk instead of dairy, and opt for plant-based butter for sautéing.
Your delicious puffs can cater to everyone at the table!
Faq
- What do I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is overly sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it becomes manageable without losing its softness.
- Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! The filling can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to use.
- How can I ensure my pastries are perfectly golden brown?
Make sure to preheat your oven thoroughly and brush the tops with the egg yolk-milk mixture before baking for that enticing golden color.
- What if I don’t have dry yeast?
You can use fresh yeast instead; substitute 25g of fresh yeast for 7g of dry yeast, and be sure to activate it in warm milk before adding it to the mixture.
- Can these puffs be frozen?
Yes! You can freeze the uncooked puffs before they go into the oven. Just bake them straight from the freezer! Add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- What can I use instead of cabbage in the filling?
Try using shredded kale, spinach, or mushrooms for a different flavor profile. Adapting the filling can make for a fun variation!
