Ingredients

5 1/2 + 1/8 cups AP flour (please read note below if you want to measure correctly)

1 TBSP instant yeast or active yeast

3 cup warm water (you will use 3/4 cup + 2 1/4 cups)

1 TBSP salt

1/2 tsp sugar

1/4 + 1/8 cup olive oil

Instructions:

If using instant yeast:

In the bowl of stand mixer, combine 3/4 cup of warm water, yeast, sugar and salt. (Optional:Let it stand for 1 min.)

Add 2 1/4 cups warm water, 1/4 + 1/8 cup olive oil, stir all ingredients together and follow the steps for adding the flour. (below pictures)

IMPORTANT: If using an active yeast please check below:

If you are using the active yeast: Add warm water (110 F to 120 F) to the bowl, then add yeast and sugar. Stir. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then add 2 1/4 cups warm water, 1/4 + 1/8 cup olive oil, 1 TBSP salt. Continue to the the step below – adding flour. (below pictures)

Adding the flour

Attach the dough hook to the mixer and start on a low speed. (just for a few seconds)

Then add 3 cups of flour and mix until combined. (about 1 minute)

Your next step is to add the rest of the flour which is 2 1/2 +1/8 cups.

Keep mixing in a low speed for about 2 minutes and then gradually increase the speed to medium until a ball forms.

Then let the mixer kneed your pizza dough for about 6 minutes.

SUPER IMPORTANT WHEN MAKING PIZZA DOUGH

IMPORTANT: If the dough doesn’t release from the sides of the bowl, add 1 or 2 TBSP of flour.

IMPORTANT for YOU: Don’t judge me but for this pizza dough recipe I don’t measure the flour correctly. (blame my grandmother. She never did for any kind of the bread or pizza). If you measure correctly which means stir in the bag to lighten it, PLEASE use about 9 cups. (1141 grams). Again, don’t be afraid to play with the flour. Remember, the dough needs to be released from the sides of the bowl. (so keep adding until it happen).

Once the kneading is finished, shape the dough and coat with olive oil.

Cover with kitchen towel and let dough rise in warm area until double in volume, about 60 to 90 minutes.

Remove the kitchen towel from bowl and place your fist in the center of the dough to punch down.

Fold the dough back onto itself 5 to 6 times. (it doesn’t need to be perfect)

Then divide the dough into 6 to 9 equal portions or form the dough into individual balls.

Lightly coat each ball with olive oil.

Wrap each ball with plastic wrap and slide into a freezer bag.

You can freeze pizza dough for up to 3 months.

I will repeat again: Please read super important note below.

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE: If you measure correctly which means stir in the bag to lighten it, PLEASE use about 9 cups. (1141 grams)

What do you need to freeze pizza dough?

Trust me, you will hear it. At this point retire your spoon unless you want the conflict to escalate.

Since I know you are kind and peaceful human being you will start using your hands at this point.

Calmly and surely. (don’t be afraid, you need to practice)

Knead dough until smooth, adding more flour by TBSP. You will know. If you add 2 TBSP of flour and

dough is happy you can stop at that point. You don’t need to use all 1/8 cup of flour.

Transfer to prepared bowl and coat with olive oil. (or use the oil you have)

Cover bowl with tea towel and let dough rise in warm area until double in volume, about 60 min or 1 hour.

THE PIZZA TOPPINGS AND FUN

Flatten your dough ball with your hands and stretch out into a round or any shape that you like. (about 9 inches or 23 cm)

Brush dough top with organic olive oil.

Spread the pizza sauce all over the top of pizza.

After that add toppings: mushrooms and mozzarella grated cheese.

To finish sprinkle olive oil and add generous amount of dry oregano.

Bake at 400 F for about 21 minutes.

While your pizza is baking in oven we will need to cook pierogi.

Take 3 to 5 pieces and cook in boiled water according to the instructions.

Remove pierogi from water. Dry them using the paper towel.

Your next step is to remove pizza from the oven. If you are asking when to remove…

Remember, after 21 minutes remove pizza from the oven.

Cover the pizza with cooked pierogi.

Top each pierogi with small slice of mozzarella cheese.

Return to the oven and bake for additional 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Then remove pizza from oven and sprinkle the feta cheese on top of it.

Optional: you can top with fresh onions, garlic or sour cream.

Say thank you. Life is good.

Serve with your favorite salad like Healthy Greek Salad or Healthy Homemade Salad

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed this amazing recipe called Pierogi Homemade Pizza.

Now, I want to hear from you. Yes, YOU!

Do you enjoy pierogi or pizza?

What is your favorite pierogi recipe?

How do you spell pierogi? This is the most confusing part?

The spelling can be: pierogi, perogy?

Never mind plural. In Poland pierogi is always served 2 or more so pierogi is the plural.

But it can be pierogis, pierogies and so on….Confusing fun. Share if you know the answer.

And thank you.

Pierogi Homemade Pizza is super easy to make
