TO MAKE DOUGH - The easiest way to do this is in a bread maker. If you have one, set it to the dough setting and add the ingredients in the following order: Oil, water, 2 cups flour, salt, sugar, 2 cups flour, yeast.?A bread maker will do the following: mix, let dough rise, mix again and let the dough rise (It takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours) and once it’s done in the bread maker, its ready to go. You can also make this dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook on speed 2(mix all the ingredients together, let rise, mix again and then let it rise in a warm place (like the oven). (It should be 2 to 2 1/2 times in volume.?? Put the finished dough onto a well floured cutting board, dust the dough with flour and with well-floured hands, shape it into a large log.?It will rise more as you make the piroshki?? Cut off pieces one at a time about 3/4? thick.?? Place the piece of dough over your well-floured hand (dough will be sticky) and shape it into a 3? to 4? circle using your hands. Do not put flour on the side where you are going to put the filling, otherwise the sides won’t seal.? TO MAKE FILLING - In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
