  1. 1 Combine 1 scant cup warm milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let sit until foamy and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Add 3 scant cups flour (holding back a small amount in case dough gets too dry), 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, sugar, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Knead in the mixer until dough is soft and supple.
  2. 2 Turn dough out onto your work surface. Grease the bowl with about 1/2 teaspoon oil; place dough back in bowl. Cover bowl; let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic; season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and black pepper. Cook, breaking apart beef with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  4. 4 Stir dill into beef mixture. Add chicken broth; stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cool mixture for 10 minutes; stir in Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cool filling completely.
  5. 5 Transfer dough to a work surface; punch down dough to release air bubbles. Pinch off a piece of dough; form into a ball, then press into a disk. Lightly dust with flour; roll into a circle about 1/8-inch thick and 5- to 6-inches in diameter. Dampen edges of dough circle with water using your fingers.
  6. 6 Place dough circle in one hand; add about 3 tablespoons beef filling. Pinch dough edges together to seal. Place pirozhki on the work surface, seam-side up; pinch off any excess dough. Moisten center of seam with water. Fold 2 ends inward and flip pirozhki over, seam-side down; press down lightly.
