belyash

Round fried Tatar-style pastries with a juicy beef-and-onion filling in tender kefir dough.

About belyash

Belyash is the Russian name widely used for the Tatar and Bashkir fried pastry also called peremech. This profile follows a beef version made as individual rounds from kefir dough, with the traditional small opening left above the meat filling.

The filling is savoury and peppery, with onion keeping the beef juicy and cilantro adding a fresh herbal note. Kefir gives the lightly salted dough a gentle tang, while frying develops a rich toasted flavour.

Each pastry is plump and round, with a deep golden, crisp exterior and a small central window showing the browned filling. The inside remains soft and bread-like around the moist minced beef.
