So ... I am a bad Piroshki Mom. When I made my first batch a couple of months or so back, I only made 1/2 of them up and put the rest of the dough in the freezer. So week before last, I pulled the dough out and stuck it in the fridge with the intention of making them either that evening or the next morning
Then I hit a spell of not-so-great days and didn't get them made. And then forgot I had the dough in the fridge. I found it yesterday. Yikes. So I thought, well might as well see what happens. Dough was kind of a funny very light greige, but smelled like bread dough so I set it in a greased bowl on top of the refrigerator, where I promptly forgot about it again for a few hours! However, it did rise a little. So I made the piroshkis up using coleslaw mix (cabbage & carrots) sauteed in olive oil and 1/2 slices of provolone cheese and pepperoni. After they were made up, and allowed a bit more rising time, I gave them an egg wash and dusted them with flaked salt. It was pretty late last night so after they came out of the oven I packed them in a big ziplock bag and put them in the fridge. Just heated a couple in the microwave. They came out surprisingly tasty, slightly chewy but not tough. Can't ask for better than that, especially considering how neglected they were!
