Authentic Pierogi/Dumpling/Potsticker Dough

Step 1

Mix and knead all of the ingredients together. A KitchenAid stand mixer with the dough hook is the easiest method.

Step 2

Cut the dough into four piece and set aside.

Step 3

Using a KitchenAid pasta roller, roll each pieces of dough on low speed through the pasta roller. At first dough will look bumpy and tear easily as it goes through the roller.

Step 4

Fold the dough up and keep running it through the roller until it becomes smoother and will not tear apart. It may take up to ten passes.

Step 5

On a floured surface lay out your rolled dough pieces.

Step 6

Using a drinking glass, punch out your pierogis until all the dough is used up.

Step 7

Run leftover dough through pasta roller and repeat process until there is nothing left.

Step 8

Fill your pierogis with filling. But fight the urge to over fill, it will squirt out of the seams.

Step 9

Crimp the edges, place on a baking sheet, and freeze.
