Pierogi Recipe | Baked Bree

There's something undeniably comforting about pierogi, those delightful Polish dumplings that can be filled with an array of ingredients, from creamy potatoes to tangy cheese. This recipe for pierogi, as featured on Baked Bree, captures the essence of traditional flavours while offering a modern twist.

To begin, you'll want to prepare the dough. Combining flour with a pinch of salt, you’ll create a versatile base that can be shaped into delicate pockets. As you knead the dough, the labour of love will result in a silky texture that is perfect for encasing your chosen fillings.

For the filling, consider a classic mix of fluffy mashed potatoes blended with sharp cheddar cheese. Add a sprinkle of chives for a burst of freshness, and don’t shy away from seasoning generously. Once your filling is ready, roll out the dough and cut into circles, ready to envelop the savoury goodness.

After boiling the pierogi until they float, transfer them to a baking dish, where they can be drizzled with melted butter and a dusting of breadcrumbs for a crispy finish. Bake until golden, and serve them steaming hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side. Each bite will transport you to a quaint Polish kitchen, making these pierogi not just a meal, but a heartfelt experience to share with loved ones.
