  8. Knead the bread and divided into even pieces. I was able to make 15 out of mine.
  9. Flatten each piece of dough and place about two tablespoons of the stuffing.
  10. Gently shape the dough into an oblong and close onto itself so that there are no holes.
  11. Fry the pirashki in grape seed oil for about 2 minutes on each side.
  12. Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper bowl.
  13. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
