Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil, mixing until a dough forms.
-
2.Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
3.In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
-
4.Add the diced smoked sausage to the skillet and cook until lightly browned. Remove from heat and let it cool.
-
5.Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

6.Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter or a glass.
-
7.Place a spoonful of the sausage and onion mixture onto each dough circle. Top with grated Gouda cheese.
-
8.Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
-
9.Place the filled pierogi on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
10.In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and chopped parsley. Serve the Dutch-style Pierogi hot, accompanied by the sour cream mixture as a dipping sauce.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Smoked sausage — Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before adding it to the filling mixture.
- Gouda cheese — Use a good quality Gouda cheese for the best flavor and melting properties.
- Sour cream — Opt for full-fat sour cream to achieve a creamy and rich dipping sauce.
