The method
Step by step
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt for the dough.
About 1 min
- 2
Make a well in the center and add the egg and warm water.
About 1 min
- 3
Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
About 2 min
- 4
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: The dough should feel soft but not sticky.
- 5
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
About 30 min
Cook’s note: Resting the dough makes it easier to roll out.
- 6
While the dough rests, prepare the filling by gently tossing the quartered strawberries with the granulated sugar and potato starch in a medium bowl.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: The potato starch helps absorb excess moisture from the strawberries during cooking.
- 7
Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough very thinly, about 1-2mm thick.
About 5 min
- 8
Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough, about 6-7 cm in diameter.
About 3 min
- 9
Place a small amount of strawberry filling in the center of each dough circle.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Do not overfill, or the pierogi will be difficult to seal.
- 10
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no gaps.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra secure seal and decorative finish.
- 11
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. You can re-roll dough scraps once.
About 5 min
- 12
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
About 5 min
- 13
Carefully add the pierogi to the boiling water in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
About 1 min
- 14
Cook for 2-3 minutes after they float to the surface, until the dough is tender.
About 3 min
- 15
Remove the pierogi with a slotted spoon and drain well.
About 1 min
- 16
Serve warm, optionally garnished with sour cream and an extra sprinkle of granulated sugar.
