How to Make Delicious Latvian Bacon Dumplings | Speķa Pīrāgi aka Fat Pies
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2022
- I grew up in Latvia as many of you will know. But I have not featured many Latvian breads here yet. These cured pork and onion filled dumplings will be the perfect introduction. Speķa pīrāgi literally translate to fat pies. It is because we call the salt cured and smoked pork belly ‘fat’. It does not meat that it is 100% fat though. You can get pieces that are leaner or fattier. For the purposes of this recipe, I would look for a 50/50 ratio of fat and lean meat, but whatever you can get your hands on will be good to go.
These bacon dumplings are some of my favourite snacks from back home. And they are very popular over there. There are other variants too like ones filled with cabbage and onions or even cottage cheese and raisins. I might make videos about them in the future.

looks yum...thanx for the inspiration
You need to wear a cape because your videos are super powered!
😁
I never heard Latvian spoken before. It’s sounds beautiful! My auntie was Latvian & Russian and her mom made those for Christmas & Easter. We all loved it so much it never made it to the table. Thank for sharing your recipe!💗
Beautiful language! Please introduce us to more Latvian baking🥰
I’d like to know more too
No problem... our stomachs speak the same language! Great video, Charlie!
I almost thought I clicked on the wrong video because it was in another language! Which is AWESOME btw- Latvians sure know how to bake some great bread! Can't wait to make these...
These look so good! Hopefully I can find the right type of pork. I look forward to seeing more Latvian recipes on the channel! This was a great introduction.
Any bacon is the right bacon 🥓 you just can't go wrong with bacon.
@@mr.pizzamarlon English back bacon... it's not even bacon.
#FightingWords
Mmm... nice! Like a fluffy "empanada"
Beautiful language, of course 💪🏻
Perhaps you could reduce the amount of water to compensate. I'm not too familiar with the T denominations, but the flour is definitely the culprit.
Here's another one for my must try list. Thanks Charlie
This dumplings look scrumptious! I will definitely try making them maybe with smoked bacon. Love the Latvian lesson! Did not understand a word but love the sound 😉
I had these at a wedding in Latvia years ago, they're absolutely incredible. 100% agreed with you, best snack ever! I will make them soon
I grew up with these! I got the recipe from my grandmother and hers had a lot of fat - a mix of lard and butter. Her recipe was also using an entire bag of flour and made hundreds of these at once. Sooooo excited to see this; my dad sent it to me since I got him into your channel.
I will soon post another classic. Cottage cheese cake aka biezpienmaize :)
Thank you so much for letting your loyal chain baker group hear you speak Latvian! Glorious language---I've only known it in choral music. As to the dumplings, I'll definitely try a cottage cheese filling--maybe with some dill and chives? (Sorry, I know you said sweetened, but I like savory things a lot.) Appreciating the tip about twice-brushed egg wash; I'll do that on my 100% whole wheat brioche, that's in the final proof right now (as the sun goes down and it's finally cool enough to turn on the oven. And yes, please, more Latvian recipes!
Dill and chives sounds perfect! :)
How lovely your mother tongue sounds! Thank you for sharing it along with your recipes, definitely going to try and make these this weekend! :D
My wife love Polish Pierogies, which are different, but I see the word Piragi is very close! These seem more up my ally, swap pasta for bread, and you're speaking my language now. And the filling looks good enough to eat on its own! Cheers from Houston, Texas!
❤️ awesome, I’m so glad you get to show off food from Latvia 🇱🇻
Wow, thanks for sharing this culinary goodie from your culture; can’t wait for the cabbage and onion! From watching your videos, I gather the people of Latvia are generous hearted
Thank you 😍
piragi hold so much nostalgia for me. my grandparents and great aunts/uncles were all from Latvia. each holiday us kids would devour the piragi. as we got older only my aunt made them and we would beg her to make extra. for some reason i never learned. i could taste them as you were making them! going to give them a try. i hope my kids love them as much as i did. but if not, more for me! thank you for this recipe and for hearing you speak your language.
I am adding these to my to-do list for sure. One of my local markets has a huge Eastern European selection, in fact I often need to use the photo function on my Google Translate app to know what I'm buying. I've come close to buying pork belly exactly like this a few times, I'll take the plunge this weekend on my weekly Saturday morning visit.
My son is about to marry a Latvian girl. I was already a fan of your channel but now to find out that we will be 'related' is just the icing on the cake! 😄 More recipes, please, so that I can impress my new daughter-in-law (but also because I love your precise, scientific and very reproducible methods). 🥰
Welcome to the family ;D
Very cool!! The closest thing to this that we have in Russia would be pirogi with minced pork and onion, however the filling would be cooked beforehand, I think I'm gonna suggest these to my grandma haha
It's so nice to see you sharing your culture with us as well as the usual other awesome recipes. More like this please!
We lived in england my mother was latvian she lived in Riga she used to make piragi for us children it was fantastic very tasty brings back memories of my loving mum who passed away in 2018 I miss her badly a loving mum who I really miss
I am an native English speaker and have a tough time with English. No way could I get Latvian to come out of my mouth. I am amazed by people who speak several languages. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jeff! :)
More Latvian recipes!!!
Awesome video, Charlie! Can't wait to try these.
My mom use to make these for us kids over 40 years ago,
Love u mom. ❤
Вітаю! 💙💛 Приємно було дізнатися, що ви з Латвії. Мені здається, що я здогадувалася про це. 😊
Милі, чарівні, крихітні пиріжечки. Я впевнена, що моїй родині і друзям такі сподобаються.
Дякую за чудові, цікаві, пізнавальні відео. 🌻🌻🌻 Бажаю вам творчої наснаги! Нехай збуваються ваші мрії та бажання! 🤗
i love your videos and i have to ask:where can i get braclet like yours i really like it :D
I got it off ebay years ago. It came from Thailand. All I did was search for 'heavy silver bracelet' 😅
I probably won't be able to find that type of pork, but I'm still going to make these this week with whatever I can find. They look amazing! Thanks for the great videos!
Was really neat hearing you speak Latvian :) please do more
Fantastic channel! These dumplings look amazing
I loved hearing you speak your native tongue, I always wondered where you were from.
Holy shit, i was shocked when i heard you speak Latvian! So nice to see a fellow Latvian who is baking one of my favorite pastries🤩 Paldies mīļš!
✌️😎🇱🇻
Trying the glaze trick with my pirozhki recipe! Thank you
Used this bread recipe as the wrapping dough to go with the bierock filling from Tasting History (plus some worcestershire sauce). Turned out excellent. The double egg wash trick is so simple and perfect for an eggcelent dinner. Ate it with some quick pickles from our garden and one of my dwindling supply of German Beer that I brought back on my last trip.
We have something similar in the Finnish culture called Piirakka. Some are savoury and some are sweet. But all so good. Thank you for your Latvian version. I can't wait to try it. Greetings from Canada.
I had a family member from Riga. She made them a Little different but basically them same. Love these!!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe which is from one of the most courageous countries in the world. As matter of fact, currently there is no any Latvian food in Taiwan. I expect to see more in the future as the relationship between 2 countries are getting closer.
Awesome content, as always! so easy explained transparent the luv in the art. Thanks for the exquisite content!
Those look delicious! Thanks for sharing your skills and your language in this video.
Great vid! I really like seeing whole recipes, I'll give this one a try!
My grandparents were Latvians and I remember having these, can you do a recipe for blackbread?
I will add it to my list. I've not made a black bread yet :)
@@ChainBaker brilliant, I have childhood memories of having jellied pork or kilbasa with blackbread I loved the stuff!
MAN those look tasty.
I like your language, and love your accent when speaking English.
😍
Sveiks! Izskatās izscili, bet labāk izmanto eļļu tas liks pīrādziņiem būt mīkstākiem! Tas ir vienkārši pēc manām domām un ģimenes receptes, bet nu katram ir sava. Lielisks video!
Paldies! :)
Those look really delicious and it was so fun hearing you speak your language!!
Can't do this right now but this one is *_definitely_* saved for later!
I have tried this recipe yesterday, it has worked perfectly with a bit less hydration as my flour has a less protein percentage. My wife and I have smashed the 16 dumplings over dinner 😂😂😂.
Chainbaker you are awesome and this is a wonderful recipe and for sure will try it with different fillings soon . Thanks bro
That is awesome! And I love that you smashed them all haha! They are made for it 😁
We need a recipe for pirozhki
Looks delicious. I had made some butter yesterday and have some buttermilk which I will use to make these and some bread as well. Thank you for the recipe.
As always it was awesome!!!!! It looks and sounds DELICIOUS and I hope I'll get the chance to make them soon.
On the video:
- You were clear and concise and explained all your steps well.
- You kept a good pace
- Loved every bit of it 10/10!
Thank you so much!🙏
Sveicieni no Bauskas!🙂
Latviešu valoda perfekta🙂
Un pīrāgi...👌
🥰🇱🇻
Your language is beautiful, please speak more Latvian for us in your videos! These look so delicious 😋
These look so good! They are the perfect size for bringing to a party, too!
Awesome intro! Thanks for sharing something from your home.
You hit it our of the park again.
Stop, you had me at "Bacon Dumplings"
I'm definitely going to give these a try on my next all out meal. I enjoyed hearing the Latvian because I don't think I've ever heard it. I would also like to see more Latvian foods even ones that aren't bread maybe some family recipes?
I have a Latvian cheesecake recipe that I will post soon :)
So glad to see you share your culture with us! Excited to try them. The gyros were amazing by the way, a lot of work, but quite delicious! Thank you. You probably don't realize it but you have had a substantial impact on my diet hehehe! Chainbaker is a household name here, associated with deliciousness.
😁
I really need to make some of these again. It's been too long since I last made them. My Granma always put a little bit of Cardamom in the bread dough but other than that yours was bang on to what she used to make.
Man, I've seen many of your videos and still never suspected you were from Latvia. Your accent was not familiar to me and you smile so much 🙂 I thought you were from Netherlands or something.
I wanted to make speķa pīrādziņi for quite some time but didn't find a recipe I could trust. Now I have one.
Greetings and big thanks for your amazing work from gloomy Riga!
Cheers, from just as gloomy London ✌
My partner's dad was Latvian & his mum made these for the family on occassion. She would despair though, because no sooner were they out of the oven than her husband & boys would descend & she barely got a look in. I've tried them, but the ones I had were cold. I was informed they're a lot nicer when they're still warm. They still went down without touching the sides & my partner was eyeing up the second one on my plate.
Oh yes these bad boys disappear very quickly 😂
What an underrated channel
Not underrated at all! We love it.
I finally got my hands on some nice thick pork belly so I cured and smoked it and finally made these. I AM IN LOVE! I have extra filling and tomorrow I’m making more dough and probably more filling for another batch. Thankfully the bacon I cured was a 5-lb piece of belly, so I have plenty of bacon!
🤤
Anything with bacon is my [favorite snack] 🥓
Must try. Thanks for sharing 😊
These look amazing. Your recipes all do. I'm definitely adding Latvia to my list of places to visit. I'm 4th generation American but 50% eastern European descended on my Mom's side and the more I learn about eastern Europe, the more it reminds me of home in New England.
Wow these are a must try. One of your best recipes so far. Would you go with speck or dry cured streaky bacon (can get that in slabs)? Was startled by hearing Latvian for the first time. It is always a good thing to express your heritage.
I'd say speck would be a good option! :)
Cheers 😎
i'm originally from Poland...blueberry buns are also hard to beat, as desert baking goes. please show a kneading technique for 1kg flour baking. i usually use that much for a bread or buns or pizza. i'm not weak but, it gets pretty hard and tiring, after only a few minutes.
I use both hands to push the dough forward. That makes it easier.
Cik jauki dzirdet latviesu meli. Sveicieni no Kolorado, ASV. Olas glazuras ieteikums burvigs! Esmu iemacijusies piragus gatavot ar senu/sipolu pildijumu, ka ari ar saldiem kartupeliem/sipoliem - maniem vegetariesu draugiem! Paldies!
Izklausas gardi! It ipasi ar senem un sipoliem 🤤
Henceforth Friday evening plans are set, thanks for the recipe!)
Great video! The pies look great too
I didn't hear anything the first time I watched the intro because that beer just looked so good
love this! must try soonest
I have a Lithuanian supermarket nearby and it's my favourite local shop. I'm sure I can pick up the right ingredients, or close enough.
I found some fatty pancetta and fatty smoked bacon in the fridge, so I decided to give this recipe a try. OMG so wonderfully flavorful - the slightly chewy sweet bread perfectly complements the smoky, salty, peppery, oniony filling. Enjoying some for dinner - thanks for sharing a recipe that is near and dear to you!
"Liels paldies, ka skatījāties, un tiekamies nākamajā." 😉 Photos have been posted in "Charlie's Baking Buddies".
Whaaaaaat? LOLOL 😂
That is awesome! And the translation is perfect too ;D Cheers, Lan! you're a legend of a baking buddy 🤩
I live in orlando fla, grew up with my grandmother making these in rota update New York, haven’t had them in 40 plus years, would love to be able to indulge them in florida. FYI my father’s family was from Riga, Roberts Bankers.
Go for it. It'll bring back nice memories 👵🥟
💙 the intro! 😁
I just made these and they turned out very well, thank you! I had 16 dough balls of 28 g each and filled them generously. Even so, I ended up with a little over 100 g of left-over filling. 150 g of the speck and 90 g of onion are plenty enough to fill all of them.
I always have some left over too. It goes in a pan with some fried eggs hehe :)
@@ChainBaker Guess what I did this morning with the left-overs? Speck and onion omelette 😁
😁👍
Thank you ❤
This is definitely one of the best snacks I had here in Latvia 😋 thank you for sharing the recipe, I look forward in making them myself!
It would also be super cool to see other Latvian recipes! I love that pastry with cottage cheese in the middle and that sort of cinnamon roll but 200 times better than American cinnamon roll 😅 don't know their names though, hopefully you know what I mean!
Cheers! :) here is another Latvian recipe for now th-cam.com/video/ucU_z2c79VM/w-d-xo.html
@@ChainBaker thank you 👍🏻
Vairāk Latvijas smalkmaizītes varētu pacept, it sevišķi kafijas maizītes, nekur nevaru atrast.
Super
Liksu savaa projektu sarakstaa ;)
As a hungarian guy, I've grown up eating dumplings like these, or with some fruit/jam filling. I love these kind of snacks!
Oh, nice recipe to try with si many fillings.
By the way tout english is terrific.
Cheers! :)
That was really interesting, and I thought it looked super delicious. I really don’t know anything about Latvian food but I would love to see more
I have made these a few times with another recipe but they don't turn out near as nice as yours. Also it's a recipe for what feels like a million buns. I think I'm going to have to try your recipe out. These look so good. And yes I can confirm, these are ~The Best Snack~
those look tasty
Amazing language and recipe 👍👍😋😋 still waiting for 100% whole wheat sandwich loaf 😋😋😍😍
I've got a butcher shop that's been in business 104 years about 6 miles from my home. They cut the smoked bacon that I buy from them off of the smoked port belly as I wait. I'm sure I can get them to cut a 1" or 2" wide strip and sell it t me. All of the meat that I buy from them is cut as I wait. There's a whole milk dairy about 15 miles west of me. I'm pretty lucky to have that. I'll have to give this recipe a try.
Sounds like the right place! :)
4:25 nice stop motion animation. That takes a while
Cheers to be here everybody 🍺
🍻
terrific !
They look sooo good! I need to find a butcher in my neighborhood to get cured and smoked pork belly. I want to eat a dozen of them with a few beers and have a nice nap 😎😁 The cabbage|onion and cottage cheese|raisin sound real good too.
I baked this today, except my local tiny grocery store does not carry any super fancy meats so I just used a cheap bacon. Anyway, it turned out very good. Thanks for the recipe!
The wild boar at the Talinn xmas markets was sooooo good!
Definitely giving these a try :)
Looks amazing, I will try these this weekend!
I think I'm gonna try and make these this weekend. Might have to smoke my own pork belly though.
It is all good!
Lovely stuff.
Idk what it is, but i find it fascinating for many eastern european countries have their own traditional "Piragi", "Pierogi", "Пирожки" recipes. All seems to have same origin, but ever so slightly different from each other.
oh damn, never knew that you are braliukas!
😎
