A Mindful Pīrāgi Making Adventure (Dace Dambergs)

Dace Dambergs has a “foolproof” pīrāgi recipe, that she has adapted from Mrs Silmanis’ 1960s recipe for “Savoury Bacon Rolls”, which she entered in to the iconic Australian women’s magazine “The Women’s Weekly” recipe competition, winning a prize. Dace explains: “The art of making pīrāgi is steeped in Latvian legend and folklore. For centuries grandmothers, mothers and daughters sat around many a table plying their art and chatting about ‘women’s business’. This pīrāgi recipe relies on 21st century ‘mod cons’ making the task somewhat less strenuous and stressful.These include a mixmaster with a dough hook, a microwave, cling wrap, baking paper and an electric blanket. The recipe does however call for a mindful, albeit eastern philosophical approach to the pīrāgi making process.”

The video demonstrate step-by-step dough preparation, as prepared by Inga Česlis (Brisbane).
