Grandma’s Pīrāgi in Rome (Austra Muižniece)

Austra Muižniece talks about baking Oma’s pīrāgi in Rome: “They turn out quite well, but for me the dough made with Italian tipo 00 flour tastes a bit sweeter. I didn’t have caraway seeds, and pancetta or guanciale are different from our smoked meats. But at least the yeast worked perfectly — the dough rose beautifully, which made me happy. Complete nostalgia, feels like grandma’s food.”
