How to Make Baked Pirozhki With Cream Cheese Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, softened butter, sour cream, egg, and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles.
  7. Place a spoonful of your favorite filling (see filling suggestions below) in the center of each circle.
  8. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  9. Place the pirozhki on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
