Authentic Polish Pierogi Recipe

Step 1

Mix all ingredients in a giant bowl using a wooden spoon (you can use hands, but it will be hot because of the hot water).

Step 2

Once it's all mixed, then use hands to knead the dough. The dough should be soft and elastic.

Step 3

Wrap your dough in aluminum foil and let it sit for about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Split the dough into 3 pieces to make things easier, then roll it out thinly on the board and cut out circles (either with a pierogi maker or simply a glass)

Step 5

Stuff with the desired filling and fold your pierogi in half gluing the sides together with your fingers. If it doesn't stick properly you can use some water.

Step 6

Boil your pierogi for about 3-4 minutes since they surface to the top of your water level.
