Beliashi image

Kazakh fried pasties filled with meat. From Time-Life's Foods of the World's book Russian Cooking (1969).Posting this in reply to a request in the Eastern European Forum. I have not made this but it reads interesting and someday I will make it. When I do,I will probably add a few more seasonings or herbs to the filling.

I like my beliashi with a bit of a kick, so I added some cayenne pepper to the filling.

Used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose - healthier and just as tasty.

What's the secret to getting the dough just right? Mine turned out a bit too tough.
