Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour ~250g
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tbsp oil
- ½ cup boiling water ~120ml
Instructions
- Boil a pot of water.
- Sift flour into a large bowl.
- Add salt and mix.
- Add oil and boiled water.
- Mix the ingredients by stirring with a spoon. Be careful not to burn yourself. Once there is no visible water in the bowl, use your hands to knead the dough until it is a homogeneous ball.
- Wrap and rest. Wrap the dough ball tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes before continuing.
- Make pierogi. Once the wait is over, the dough is ready for rolling and making pierogi.
Notes
- Double the dough. Since making pierogi takes quite a long time, I recommend doubling both the dough and filling to make a big batch that will be enough for at least two meals. You can freeze any leftover pierogi and have them ready when you are.
- If you've been kneading the dough for a couple of minutes already and it's super dry and doesn't seem to take in any more flour, add a tablespoon or two of warm water.
