Step 4

Fill the dough. Flatten each dinner roll into a disk. Then fill each one with 1 heaping tablespoon of the meat filling and pinch the edges of the dough together to make a half-moon shape.

Step 5

Proof the piroshki. Once all the piroshki are closed up, place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them proof for another 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 6

Fry them. Fill a heavy-bottomed pot or pan with about 2 inches of oil and heat it over high heat (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Deep fry the piroshki for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to blot up excess oil. Then serve them warm.
