&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Template:Aito Perinteinen Tuote|APT]] Karjalanpiirakka&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[vegetable]] pie from Finnish Karelia which is started by&lt;br /&gt;
cooking the filling. The filling is usually a [[purée]] of [[barley]] or [[rice]] or [[mashed potato]]. Instead of&lt;br /&gt;
these, cooked [[mashed]] [[vegetables]] (e.g. [[swede]], [[carrot]], [[turnip]] or [[stewed]] [[cabbage]] or [[mushrooms]]) may&lt;br /&gt;
also be used. The [[dough]] that will hold this filling is prepared from water, [[salt]] and [[rye]]- or&lt;br /&gt;
[[wheat]] [[flour]]. The [[dough]] is rolled into as thin, round, almost translucent ‘piirakka’ [[dough]] shapes&lt;br /&gt;
as possible. The thinness of the shape ensures the karjalanpiirakka&amp;#039;s crispiness. The edges of the&lt;br /&gt;
shape are brought up over the filling and crimped. The pirrakka is then [[baked]] in a hot [[oven]] (about&lt;br /&gt;
250-300 °C) for 15-20 minutes. The rapid [[baking]] and high heat are necessary to preserve the&lt;br /&gt;
product&amp;#039;s succulence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The filling is prepared by bringing 1 litre of [[milk]] or water to the [[boil]] and then mixing in 2&lt;br /&gt;
decilitres (80 g) of hulled [[grain]] [[rice]] or [[barley]]. A [[rice]] [[purée]] is cooked for a half to one hour; a&lt;br /&gt;
[[barley]] [[purée]] is cooked for longer. Approximately 275-350 g of [[flour]] and 200 g of water are used&lt;br /&gt;
in the dough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cooked piirakka is often coated immediately after [[baking]] or when being heated up. The&lt;br /&gt;
coating can be [[butter]], [[oil]] or a water/[[milk]] mixture of the two; [[egg]] is also sometimes used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Traditional character:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Karjalanpiirakka is prepared using a traditional method of preparing and&lt;br /&gt;
combining the raw ingredients. Data on traditional piirakka-style pasties, comprising an outer crust&lt;br /&gt;
and a filling, can be found across an area extending as far as Siberia and China. Karelia forms the&lt;br /&gt;
northwestern boundary of this piirakka zone. Of the various forms of piirakka produced in Karelia,&lt;br /&gt;
the elliptical, open type came to be called the karjalanpiirakka as its use spread beyond Karelia.&lt;br /&gt;
The karjalanpiirakka spread in the 1600-1700s throughout what is now southern Finland, from&lt;br /&gt;
where migrating Karelians then brought it to the rest of Finland and even into Sweden. The first&lt;br /&gt;
written reference to karjalanpiirakka dates from 1686.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Description of the product:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The karjalanpiirakka is a small, open, flat pasty, comprising a thin&lt;br /&gt;
crust and a filling. It is usually between 7-20 cm long. The karjalanpiirakka is mainly elliptical, but&lt;br /&gt;
can also be round. The crust is open on top. The sides of the crust are drawn up over the filling&lt;br /&gt;
and crimped. The karjalanpiirakka has a crispy crust. The crust usually makes up about a third of&lt;br /&gt;
the entire product and the filling accounts for about two-thirds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Minimum requirements and inspection procedures to which specific character is subject:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The production facility makes sure during the preparation stage that the dough is rolled out, as stated&lt;br /&gt;
above, into round or elliptical shapes that are as thin as possible and have a diameter of&lt;br /&gt;
between 10-24 cm. The filling is then placed on top, about 1-2 cm from the edges, which are then&lt;br /&gt;
drawn up over the filling so that the piirakka remains open in the middle. These are the determining&lt;br /&gt;
factors for the traditional production method. The production facility also makes sure&lt;br /&gt;
during preparation that the piirakka is [[baked]] at 250-300 °C, for 15-20&lt;br /&gt;
minutes, so that the high temperature and rapid baking time produce a crispy crust, thereby&lt;br /&gt;
influencing the karjalanpiirakka&amp;#039;s taste.&lt;br /&gt;
