- 1 lbs of flour
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of hot water
- salt
Instructions
- 1
Mix all ingredients in a giant bowl using a wooden spoon (you can use hands, but it will be hot because of the hot water).

Once it's all mixed, then use hands to knead the dough. The dough should be soft and elastic.
- 3
Wrap your dough in aluminum foil and let it sit for about 30 minutes.

Split the dough into 3 pieces to make things easier, then roll it out thinly on the board and cut out circles (either with a pierogi maker or simply a glass)
- 5
Stuff with the desired filling and fold your pierogi in half gluing the sides together with your fingers. If it doesn't stick properly you can use some water.
- 6
Boil your pierogi for about 3-4 minutes since they surface to the top of your water level.
