- Rinse mixing bowl with hot water, then place the rinsed bowl over the dough, letting it
- sit for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, divide the dough into 4 equal parts (each part should make 6 pierogis).

- Pleat the edge of the folded dough with a fork until completely sealed.
- Repeat steps 6-11 until you use all of the dough.
- Put the pierogis into the boiling water. Allow them to sink to the bottom of the pot. Once they float to the top, use a slotted spoon to place them on wax/parchment paper.
