Baking piroshki with carrots in the oven
If you don’t like fried pastry, you can bake the Russian carrot piroshki in the oven. In this case, spread the filled buns on a baking sheet lined with baking paper with plenty of space between them after you have formed them and let them rise in a warm place for about 20-30 minutes. Then bake them in a preheated oven at 180 °C top and bottom heat for about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can brush the filled buns with a little plant milk mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder before baking to give them a nice golden brown color.

How to make sweet carrot piroshki: tips and tricks
- You can adjust the amount of sugar for the filling according to your taste.
- You can refine the carrot filling with different spices and flavors. See my notes above.
- Instead of fresh yeast you can use dry yeast. For the recipe below you need 6 g of it.
- It is important that the water is lukewarm and the rest of the ingredients are at room temperature, so that the yeast dough can rise quickly.
- Instead of water you can use any plant milk.
- The amount of flour given in the recipe may vary. Therefore, add the flour in portions until the yeast dough has the right consistency. It should be very soft and a bit sticky before kneading, but not mushy and not too firm or dry.
- Grease the work surface and possibly your hands, if the dough is a bit sticky, only lightly with vegetable oil when shaping the filled buns. Under no circumstances should the dough pieces float in vegetable oil, otherwise the sides will not stick together.
- Instead of frying the piroshki with carrots you can bake them in the oven. Read more info about it here above.
