Pierogi. Traditional from Poland by Pierogi Joe

The Pierogi Project: PIEROGI IS ALREADY PLURAL!
Homemade pierogi the way I earned in Poland and beyond. A very simple and quite traditional Polish recipe. The dough, the filling, the pinch, and the boil and more...its all here!
This is part of a 4 video series called THE PIEROGI PROJECT. This is 1 of 3 fillings featured in the series (with a 4th video of making the pierogi). Check out the accompanying videos of THE PIEROGI PROJECT:

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour (tortowa or bread)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp sea salt

Best pierogi video on here outside of Poland, so good and sticks to the authentic ingredients. I love it, you deserve way more views.

Hey man, a Pole here. Gotta say of all the foreigners I've seen make pierogi, you're by far one of the best ones! And don't worry if they come for you for using eggs to make the dough, half of Poland does it and the other half is outraged by it for some reason 😀 well done, you should be proud of yourself. Bon apetit!

Thank you for clearing up the singular and plural delimma. Also, you gave very helpful tips.

I use two spoons to make quenelles that way they are the perfect shape to go inside the dough

I tried your recipe for dough, and it was good! Thanks for the instructional video, it was particularly helpful for figuring out dough consistency.

Thanks, Pierogi Joe! You've made my day! What the camera missed, your vocal instruction made-up for. Loved your video; will try-out your recipe soon! Greetings from Montreal! :)

to avoid cutting circles and reusing the scraps again and again, I just cut the whole sheet of dough into squares with pizza cutter or knife and fold them into triangles, folding the point under so they look like your pierogies. Much less work.

I’ve had a variety of tasting dough. Some are very thick and chewy while others are just delicious, light and thin.
Yes, cake flour is a fine delicate dough.

Our Legion Ladies sell these twice a week at the legion. You need to place your order way ahead as they have a hard time keeping up with the demand. I like mine with melted butter mixed with sautee onions smothered in sour creme.

I make a big batch every 3months and freeze them all my grandkids and and daughter love them with hot butter and sour cream i put bacon and onion cheese in the potatoes

I made delicious Vegetarian Pierogi for tonight Christmas very good

Your dough rolled out PERFECTLY in your I volunteered many years pinching perogi for church fundraisers. And now i want to learn how to make them for my family. I'm going to make your pierogi, thank you for being so nice sharing your recipe!!! What does baking powder or baking soda do in pierogi?

[Casenundra]

Potato and cheese good ! What no "kaposta" ???

[DZ-rlut]

My grandma did it by rolling out dough, then making squares. No re rolling tough dough, no extra steps. She was Ukrainian, with 12 children.

My mother always used her mother's recipe from Ukraine.Very similar to your polish ones but their filling always had a little bit of dill in it.From Ten Mile lake British Columbia Canada 🇺🇦.

My 2 cents ....
Boil the H2o. You can add some of the boiling water to some of the flour to start to help make the dough soft.
Also try not to get flour on the top surface of the dough while rolling. The flour makes sealing more difficult.
Oh ya, I've never heard of using cake flour. That is very low in gluten and you do want gluten to make a stretchy dough. Some people use "bread flour". I never use bread flour for baking even bread here because our All Purpose flour has a high enough protein content. I think any AP four would work fine.

Camera skills are fine. Keep on being you.

What can I seal my homemade dough board with before I make pierogi on it. Thank you for sharing your recipe Joe. Jesus and You Rock!
