Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower oil)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil, stirring with a spoon or your hands until the mixture forms a shaggy dough.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it vigorously for about 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour as needed.
  3. Rest the Dough: Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This resting period relaxes the gluten, making the dough easier to roll and shape for pierogis.

Notes

  • Use warm water to activate the gluten and help the dough come together smoothly.
  • Make sure the dough is not too sticky before rolling it out; lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking.
  • Resting the dough is essential for elastic texture that stretches but doesn’t tear when filled.
  • Feel free to double the recipe if you want to make a larger batch of pierogis.
  • Store unused dough wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
