I had no idea there were other options for them, that’s amazing. Yes, frozen dough would make the process much easier and faster, that’s brilliant!

We love the bacon, ham, onion the best–just like Mom used to make. I had some that had a sprinkle of caraway seeds on top which were very good. My sister and I have started using frozen roll dough(such as Rhodes). Follow directions on the package to raise the dough, then cut off pieces and proceed to form your “piragus”. Using the frozen dough cuts down on the time spent in the kitchen! And they are delicious.

You know, it’s been a long time since I was living in Toronto but I know who would know. Contact The Latvian Cultural Centre at (416) 759-3090. They are the experts!

I would love to buy some from a bakery before I attempt to make them myself!

Thanks!

That is what they are commonly called in Latvia now. Same thing as piragi, as Paul guessed.

Wow, to take language classes at the Latvian centre! I would have loved that. I have only been there once a few years ago. Yes, please let me know how it burns out with brown rice flour and ham. 🙂 I hope it’s wonderful!

I now live in Savannah, GA. We took Latvian language classes every Friday evening at the Latvian Canadian Cultural Centre when we (my sister and I) were young.

We love piragi!

I am trying this recipe in our breadmaker using brown rice flour instead of all purpose. My son was diagnosed with lupus last year and my husband is wheat free too. My son has to stay away from simple starches. (He has not had a french fry since his diagnosis in March of last year.)

I will let you know how they turn out.

(I use ham as well as bacon our version of the filling.)

I lived in Mississauga too, a little earlier than you. 🙂 And yes! So happy the bread maker can make this dough for you to help the process. Just make sure the dough looks wet enough (not too dry or wet) once the maker really gets going and it should be fine. Thanks for writing Helen!!! It made my day. 🙂
