Categories     Savoury Baking

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

350 grams bacon rashes diced finely
2 brown onions finely diced
Ground pepper to taste
7 grams dry instant yeast
60 ml warm water
60 grams unsalted butter
190 ml milk
8 teaspoons caster sugar, superfine sugar
1 egg beaten
440 grams (3 ½ cups) plain flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
40 ml water

Steps:

  • In a heavy non stick pan sauté onions and bacon until the onions are translucent and most of the bacon fat has rendered.
  • Add ground pepper to taste.
  • Leave this mixture to cool completely while you are making the dough. I usually make the bacon/onion mix the day before and leave it in my fridge until I am ready to use it. The bacon mixture is easier to work with when cold.
  • Place yeast and water in a small bowl, put aside for the yeast to activate. It will froth up.
  • In a small saucepan add butter, milk and sugar. Warm over a low heat until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved into the milk.
  • When milk mixture has cooled to lukewarm stir through beaten egg, yeast and water.
  • Place two cups of the plain flour and salt in a large bowl, pour liquid over and stir to combine.
  • Once combined add the remaining flour. Mix until all ingredients have come together, then leave to rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Once rested turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Place dough back in to a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Leave dough to raise, around 1½ hours or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven 180 deg C (360 deg F)
  • Once dough is ready, start pulling off a walnut size pieces of dough. Work them in to a ball in your hand then tease them out to a circle. Place a tablespoon of the bacon mixture, and bring the edges of the dough together. Seal the bun in a torpedo shape.
  • Place formed buns on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper.
  • Mix the beaten egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush egg wash mixture on buns. Place buns in oven and bake until golden, 12-15 minutes.Repeat with the remainder of the mixture and dough.
  • Once out of the oven they are ready to eat.
  • Piragi can also be frozen once cooled.

PIEROGI RUSKIE (POTATO AND CHEESE PIEROGI)



Pierogi Ruskie (Potato and Cheese Pierogi) image

Pierogi are always on the menu at milk bars, historic Polish restaurants that were once socialist canteens. This recipe for pierogi ruskie, stuffed with potatoes and cheese, comes from the Bar Prasowy, which is one of the most famous milk bars in Warsaw, and a place where fist-size dumplings can be filled with mushrooms and meat, spinach and cheese, or any number of combinations. These pierogi can be made from kitchen staples, though you'd be doing yourself a favor if you sought out the salty quark cheese that would be used in Poland. Be patient with your first few pierogi: Sealing the filling inside the dumpling takes some practice, but the practice itself is enjoyable. You can snack on the pierogi straight after boiling, or pan-fry them with butter until crisp and serve with barszcz, a light Polish borscht.

Categories     dinner, dumplings, project, vegetables, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 to 30 pierogi

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour (preferably unbleached), plus more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 pound waxy or all-purpose potatoes
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium yellow onions (about 8 ounces each), finely chopped
1/2 cup quark cheese, cottage cheese or sour cream (about 4 ounces)
Butter, for pan-frying (optional)
Sour cream, for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough: Add the flour and salt to a large bowl; whisk to combine. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup water and the butter over medium-high until butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Pour the buttery liquid into the flour gradually, stirring it in as you add it. (The dough will be quite crumbly and flaky at this point, like a biscuit dough.) Stir in the egg until combined then move the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the dough with a dampened towel or plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling: Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Add them to a large pot, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high and continue to cook at a simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While the potatoes cook, prepare the onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onions, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and softened, about 12 minutes. Set aside about 1 cup of onions for garnish and add the rest to a medium bowl.
  • Transfer the cooked potatoes to a colander to drain, then transfer to the medium bowl with the onions. Add the cheese, stir to combine, season generously with salt and pepper, then let cool.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high.
  • Prepare the wrappers: Cut the dough into two even pieces. (You'll want to leave one piece under the towel to stay moist while you work with the other piece.) You'll also want a small bowl of flour, a small bowl of water and a towel handy for keeping your hands clean. Dust some flour onto a baking sheet (for holding the pierogi) and your work surface, then roll out one portion of dough until 1/8-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter or inverted glass, punch 12 to 15 disks of dough. (Save and refrigerate the scraps to boil as a rustic pasta, in soup or another use.)
  • Assemble the pierogi: Working with one disk at time, spoon a scant tablespoon of filling onto the middle of it. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling, bringing the edges together to form a crescent shape. Pinch the two sides together at the top, then work your way down on both sides, pinching the dough over the filling and pushing in the filling as needed, making sure the potato mixture does not break the seal. If needed, you can dip your fingertip into water and moisten the dough in spots as needed to help the two sides adhere together.
  • To form a rustic pattern on the curved seal, pinch the rounded rim underneath using your pointer finger and middle finger and press an indentation on top with your thumb, working your way along the rounded rim. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. (If you've gotten some filling on your fingers, dip your fingertips into the bowl of water then dry them off on the towel.)
  • Repeat with remaining disks, then repeat the entire process with the remaining portion of dough. You'll want to work fairly quickly, as the pierogi can be harder to seal if they start to dry out. (If cooking the pierogi at a later point, transfer them on the baking sheet to the freezer until frozen solid, then transfer the pierogi to a resealable bag and freeze.)
  • To cook the pierogi, add a single layer of pierogi to the pot of boiling water. Let them cook until they rise to the surface, about 2 minutes, then cook another 2 to 3 minutes until puffy. (With frozen dumplings, you will need to increase the cooking time by a couple of minutes.) Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked dumplings to a colander to drain, then boil remaining dumplings.
  • If you want to pan-fry your pierogi, working in batches, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high until crackling. Add a few boiled pierogi in a single layer to avoid overcrowding, and cook until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining pierogi, adding butter as needed.
  • Serve hot. Top with any browned butter from the pan, warmed reserved onions, sour cream and herbs.

BASIC PIEROGI

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes about 5 dozen (or 2 dozen plum)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large egg, lightly whisked
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup water
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface and dusting
Yellow cornmeal, for dusting
Pierogi with Potato Filling and Brown Butter
Pierogi with Cabbage Filling and Clarified Butter
Pierogi with Blueberry Filling and Spiced Sour Cream
Pierogi with Italian Plum Filling and Spiced Sour Cream
Coarse salt
Pierogi with Potato Filling and Brown Butter
Pierogi with Cabbage Filling and Clarified Butter
Pierogi with Italian Plum Filling and Spiced Sour Cream
Coarse Salt

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Whisk together egg and sour cream. Whisk in milk and water. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured surface. (Dough will be loose and sticky.) Using a bench scraper, turn and fold dough to knead, dusting with flour as needed, until elastic and no longer sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. (Dough will come together as you knead it. Be careful not to add too much flour, since it will toughen the dough.) Cover with an inverted bowl; let rest for 1 hour.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a clean linen towel, and dust generouslywith cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  • Roll out 1 piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/8-inch-thick round (keep other pieces covered).
  • Cut out circles very close together, using a 3-inch cutter or glass (5 inches for the plum version). Cover with plasticwrap to prevent dough from drying. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Fill pierogi: Place filling in center of each dough circle. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Holding 1 circle in your hand, fold dough over filling. Pinch edges, forming a well-sealed crescent.
  • Transfer to cornmeal-dusted towel, and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough circles and filling. Working in batches, transfer pierogi to boiling water. They will sink to the bottom and then rise. Once they have risen, cook through, about 2 minutes more (or up to 4 minutes for plum pierogi, depending on ripeness). For savory pierogi, coat a platter with half the butter. Transfer pierogi to platter using a slotted spoon. Drizzle tops with remaining butter, and season with salt. For sweet pierogi, transfer to a platter using a slotted spoon, and dot with sour cream.

PIEROGI



Pierogi image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield About 72 pierogi

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 heaping cups flour
3 eggs, beaten
Salt
1 stick butter
1 large onion, 1/4-inch dice
32-ounce canned or fresh kapusta (sauerkraut), rinsed well to remove brine
Salt and pepper
Cheese filling (note: a traditional recipe would call for farmer's cheese, but we find it too dry)
1 pound ricotta
2 eggs
Salt
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Make a well from the flour. Add eggs and about 1/2 cup of water. The amount of water will vary according to the weather. You want to make a stiff dough. Divide it into 3 equal portions and knead until silky smooth.
  • Fillings: We usually make cheese and kapusta (sauerkraut), but you can use meat, potatoes, or even fruit.
  • Saute onion in butter until just soft. Add kapusta and brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow time for the filling to cool before assembling pierogi, otherwise they will fall apart when cooked. If making more than one filling, this one can cool while you prepare the others.
  • Mix well.
  • To assemble and cook pierogi: Roll out a portion (or half portion, if space is limited) of the dough on a floured surface as thinly as possible -- somewhere between a wonton and a thin pizza. Put about a tablespoon of filling on the dough and use a large plastic cup (a big gulp-type cup works really well) to cut a circle around the filling. Dampen half of the circumference of the circle with a bit of water on your finger and fold into a dumpling. Boil the dumplings a dozen at a time in a big pot of salted water until they float -- no more than 3 minutes. At this point you can freeze them in bags for later use. To prepare for serving, brown the pierogi in a skillet using a bit of butter. If you want to be really traditional you can use bacon grease. Alternately, you can bake them in a casserole, spraying both the casserole and the pierogi with a butter flavored spray, and putting a few pats of butter on top of the dumplings.

LATVIAN PIRAGI



Latvian Piragi image

This is a great traditional recipe that I have loved my whole life. My grandma and mom have made this with their own twist!

Provided by Nick Gibietis

Categories     Roll and Bun Recipes

Time 2h55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 pound bacon, chopped
2 medium onions, diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
cooking spray
4 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast for dough in a large mixing bowl; stir until well combined. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add warm water and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs and 1 cup flour; mix until combined and thick. Stir in remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20 minutes. Punch dough down, cover, and let rise until double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • While the dough is rising, cook bacon for filling in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard all but 1 tablespoon grease from the pan.
  • Add onion to the bacon grease and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine onion and bacon in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside until dough has risen.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two large baking pans with cooking spray. Place beaten eggs in a bowl.
  • Divide dough into 3 pieces, then divide each piece into about 12 balls. Roll each ball to pizza dough-thickness. Use a small spoon to scoop some onion-bacon mixture into the center. Brush egg wash on the dough around the filling, then fold the edges/corners up and over the filling. Place piragi in the prepared baking pans with the seams facing down, and brush the tops with egg wash.
  • Place one pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with more egg wash. Return to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
  • Repeat to bake remaining piragi.

PIEROGI



Pierogi image

Variations on these delicious dumplings are found all over Eastern Europe. Olia's are filled with tangy sauerkraut, crunchy cabbage and crispy shallots

Provided by Olia Hercules

Categories     Lunch, Side dish, Starter

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 shallots , finely chopped
150g sauerkraut , finely chopped
150g hispi (sweetheart) cabbage , shredded
1 large egg , lightly beaten
½ tbsp vegetable oil
350g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
vegetable oil , for frying
2 shallots , finely sliced
plain flour , for dusting
45g butter
60ml soured cream

Steps:

  • First, make the crispy shallots. Heat the oil in a saucepan to 180C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 15 secs). Toss the shallots in a little flour and deep-fry for 1 min or until light golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper. Can be made up to two days before and kept in an airtight container.
  • To make the filling, heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan and gently fry the shallots for 10 mins until starting to turn golden.
  • Add the sauerkraut and cabbage, and cook for 5-10 mins until the cabbage has softened. Taste and add a little salt if under-seasoned, or sugar if stringent. Scrape into a bowl and leave to cool completely.
  • To make the dough, mix the eggs and oil with 125ml water, then gradually add in the flour, mixing well with your hands. Knead it on a well-floured surface until the dough stops sticking to your hands. You should end up with firm, elastic dough. Wrap it in cling film and rest in the fridge for at least 30 mins, or overnight.
  • Flour your work surface generously. Roll out the dough to a 40cm circle or until the dough is as thick as £1 coin.
  • Using a 9cm cookie cutter, cut out discs in the dough - you should end up with about 25 discs. Do not throw away the off-cuts - we throw them in with the pierogi when boiling to minimise any waste.
  • Have a well-floured tray ready. Put 1 tsp of the filling into the centre of each disc. In your hand, fold in half around the filling and seal to create half-moon shapes. Put them on the floured tray, making sure they don't touch each other.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and carefully lower the pierogi in. Boil them for 2 mins or until they float to the top.
  • Drain and serve with a knob of butter and some soured cream. Finish by sprinkling the crispy shallots on top to serve.
