Pirog (Russian: пирог, IPA: [pʲɪˈrok] ; Ukrainian: пиріг, romanized: pyrih, IPA: [pɪˈriɦ] , pl. пироги, pyrohy; Belarusian: пірог [pʲiˈrɔx]; Northern Sami: pirog; Latvian: pīrāgs, pl. pīrāgi; Lithuanian: pyragas, pl. pyragai; Finnish: piirakka [ˈpiːrɑkːɑ]; Estonian: pirukas [ˈpiːrukːɑs]; Swedish: pirog [pɪˈroːɡ]; Karelian: piirai [ˈpiːrɑi̯]) is a baked case of dough with either sweet or savory filling. The dish is common in Finnish and Eastern European cuisines. The name is derived from the ancient Proto-Slavic word pir, meaning "banquet" or "festivity". The Russian plural, pirogi (with the stress on the last syllable), should not be confused with pierogi (stress on "ro" in Polish and English) in Polish cuisine, which are dumplings similar to Russian pelmeni or varenyky.
