Authentic Polish pierogi dough recipe call just for flour, water, salt, and optionally some fat and an egg. Nowadays though, many home cooks experiment with the ingredients. I think it’s more an American or Russian/Ukrainian ingredient. Personally, I’ve never heard of such pierogi dough ingredient and don’t know anyone who is making pierogi with it (at least in Poland). I’ve seen some recipes that call for sour cream.Salt – also the dough should be seasoned, not only the filling.I’m using butter for its taste but any vegetable oil will also work. Fat – you could make the dough without it, but it really makes the dough perfect.Cold water will make the dough harder to roll out and it will be more difficult to shape the pierogi. Too hot water will make the dough a little bit more chewy and sticky. You should warm the water with butter until they are very hot, but not boiling (temperature around 80-90 ☌ / 176-194 ☏, that is when the water starts to move and steam). Water – it’s important to add hot water to the dough.The best flour to make pierogi – I’m using all-purpose flour.I like to stuff my pierogi with lots of filling but I also like to taste the dough. I like it when my dough is not very thin but also not very thick. Dough to filling ratio: it’s very important, but it’s also a matter of taste.Don’t add eggs to the dough (more on that below).Add some fat – it can be butter (more flavor) or oil.Best water temperature – very hot but not boiling.You can see on my video how much softer and pliable the dough is after it has rested. After kneading the dough, let it rest. ![]()
