      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Dough
  1. 1.
    Place milk, butter, cream, sugar and cardamom into the mixing bowl and heat 4 mins / 40°C / sp 1

    2.
    Add flour, yeast and egg. Combine 15 sec / sp 3 then knead 2 mins / Dough mode

    3.
    Dough will be soft and sticky. Place into a bowl and cover with gladwrap
    Leave to prove in a warm place to double in size. This maybe 1/2 to 1 hour depending on the weather

    4.
    Meanwhile clean and dry the TM mixing bowl and prepare the bacon filling
  2. The Filling
  3. 5.
    Cut onion into quarters and place in TM mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / sp 5. Scrape down sides of the bowl

    6.
    Add butter and sauté for 3 mins / 120°C / sp 1

    7.
    Add the diced bacon, salt and pepper (to taste), and the caraway seeds. Combine 10 sec / Counter-clockwise operation / sp 2
    Remove from the TM bowl and cool
  4. Assemble the Pīrāgi
  5. 8.
    Knock down the dough and divide into 4 equal amounts. Roll one ball into a long sausage and cut into 5 even pieces. Now cut each of these pieces into 4 pieces. You will now have 20 pieces. (You will be repeating this process with the other three balls when you have finished working with this first 20)

    9.
    Using a smooth drinking glass, roll out your first dough piece on a floured surface until it resembles an oval shape

    10.
    Place one small teaspoonful of the filling onto the middle of the oval shape and press edges tightly together. Form into a crescent or pillow shape

    11.
    Place onto a lined baking tray with the pressed seam on the bottom (See pictures above)
    Repeat this process until all are assembled

    12.
    Cover trays with a tea towel and stand in a warm place for 1/2 hour to rise or double in size

    13.
    While these are rising, heat oven 220°C.

    14.
    In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk together with a fork. Use a pastry brush to coat each Pīrāgi lightly

    15.
