Ready in just 20 minutes and yielding enough for four servings, it's the perfect starting point for your pierogi-making adventure.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until workable.
Form the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or cover it with a damp kitchen towel.
Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This step helps relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
After resting, the dough is ready to be rolled out and cut into circles for filling with your preferred pierogi stuffing.
