Polish Pierogi Dough Recipe

all-purpose flour

salt

vegetable oil

water

In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Add the salt and mix well.

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the vegetable oil.

Gradually add the hot water while mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Prepare Dough:

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Knead the Dough:

After resting, divide the dough into 3 portions. Keep the portions you are not working with covered to prevent drying out.

Roll out one portion of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Use a round cutter or a glass (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.

Roll and Cut Dough:

Place a small amount of your chosen filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.

Fill and Seal Pierogi:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the pierogi in batches, ensuring they don’t stick together.

Cook the pierogi for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the pierogi and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Cook Pierogi:

Good morning!
I’ve made pierogies for many years using a recipe very similar to yours.  I have since been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and have not been able to enjoy them since.  Is it possible to use GF flour with good results?
Thank you.

I made the pierogi and they were delicious. .I tried spinach and feta cheese for a change...I'm going to try minced beef and onion next ...my family love the cheese,  onion and potato ones the best 👌

I made the perogies and we loved them. I will be making my own from now on!

This makes me want to do, but do you have a recipe for doing a easy cabbage roll dish in a casserole dish, I love my Mothers rolls but at 83 I just cannot get energy to do too many and all family wants some. My questions are can you cut in squares, do you tear cabbage in bite size pieces?

Hello, 
Can I use my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough attachment to mix the dough? 

Thanks,
Jaye

Have you ever used kefir when making pierogies?  I have an old Ukrainian family recipe from my grand aunt  she used homemade kefir  that added a nuanced bite to the flsvour of the dough ... she was originally from Radymno, which is now Poland ....love all your recipes  they are easy to make and taste great!
