Pīrāgi baking workshop (Brisbane Latvian Community)

The Brisbane Latvian Community reports: “Inhale — can you still smell that fresh batch of pīrāgi straight from the oven? We can, and we’re still smiling!
In October 2025 a pīrāgi making workshop was held at the Brisbane Latvian Hall. What a warm, delicious, and joy-filled afternoon it was!
The wonderful Dace Dambergs guided us through the entire process — from preparing the dough and savoury filling, to sharing her expert tips on shaping and glazing (plus a few treasured family stories along the way!). Dace was joined in the kitchen by Zile, Jasmine and Inga who added their own flair, tips and stories, and Jasmine demonstrated an alternative shaping technique for that perfect pīrādziņš.
Attendees had a hands-on experience on shaping their own pīrāgi, and everyone had lots of fun in the process, especially the tasting (no burnt bottoms there)!”
