butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and margarine is more affordable.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while bread flour can be less expensive.

In a small pot, add instant dry yeast, sugar, and warm milk; mix together and set aside for 15 minutes.

In a different bowl, add an egg, the rest of the warm milk, sour cream, and the activated yeast mixture; mix everything together.

Add butter to the mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

In a stand mixer, add plain flour and attach a dough hook; pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix on low speed for 5-10 minutes until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few seconds until soft and not sticky, adding more flour if necessary.

Grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and twist to coat; cover and let proof for 1 to 1.5 hours in a warm spot.

Prepare the filling by finely chopping green onions and mixing them with chopped boiled eggs, salt, pepper, and a little oil for moisture.

Once the dough has risen, cut it in half, then in half again; take small pieces of dough, roll into balls, and flatten them out.

Add about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each dough circle, pinch the sides to seal, and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan over medium to low heat; fry the piroshki for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.

Drain the piroshki on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
