Hm. You know, I had a thought, the sausage, cheese, mushroom etc. filled
rolls/pies of bread dough may be period, based on a passage in the
domostroi:
Domostroi: "When the servants bake bread, order them to set some of the
dough aside, to be stuffed
for pies. When they bake wheat bread, have pies made for the family
from the coarse flour left in the
sieve. For meat days stuff them with whichever meat is to hand. For
fast days use kasha, peas, broth,
turnips, mushrooms, cabbage, or whatever God provides...."
The fighting household that made teh bread dough wrapped around filling
rolls found that they could be made ahead of time, baked, frozen solid,
and transportported to War (Pennsic) in coolers and they kept quite well.
