Vegan Pierogi Dough
Polish pierogi dough is traditionally made vegan, as it doesn’t have any dairy in it. All it is, is flour water and a bit of oil. Very simple and economical, which was always very important in Polish cooking.
I find vegan pierogi dough quite delicate and fragile and actually prefer making it with the addition of an egg. It does make the dough a bit denser but I found that I have less “blow-outs” while boiling and dumplings tend to stay a bit more solid. I roll my dough out very thin so it is important to me that it doesn’t fall apart.
I encourage you to try both versions and decide which works best for you. You can find the recipe for my “non-vegan” pierogi dough here: pierogi ruskie.
