Warm the milk and add fresh yeast and a spoonful of sugar; stir and let sit for about 15 minutes to activate.

Measure out 1 kilogram of flour and add it to a large bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, salt, butter, oil, and water to the flour.

Pour in the activated yeast mixture and mix everything together to form a dough.

Knead the dough for about 15 minutes until smooth and unsticky, then let it rest for an hour.

Prepare the filling by finely chopping bacon and smoked pork cheek, and onions.

In a skillet, lightly fry the chopped bacon, smoked pork cheek, and onions until cooked; season with black pepper and salt to taste.

After the dough has risen, divide it into golf ball-sized pieces and roll them out.

Place a spoonful of filling on each rolled-out dough piece, fold over, and seal the edges.

Bake the filled piragi in the oven until golden brown.
