Instructions

  1. 1 In a medium bowl, stir flour and salt together. Cut in butter using a fork until pieces are very small. Stir in water and mix until well blended. If dough is too sticky, stir in a little more flour until you can knead it on a floured surface. Knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover, and let rest for 10 or 15 minutes.
  2. 2 On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or large glass. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  3. 3 To make the filling, prepare mashed potato flakes according to package directions; set aside. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until soft and transparent. Remove from heat and mix in mashed potatoes.
  4. 4 Place one tablespoon of pierogi filling onto each circle of dough. Fold circles over and pinch the edges to seal tightly so no filling can escape while they boil. They can be frozen at this time if you like.
  5. 5 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop several perogies into boiling water. They are done when they float to the top. Continue the process with remaining perogies. You can also fry perogies in some butter with onion before serving if you like.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring the water, butter, sugar, buttermilk powder, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat, mix well, and let cool to between 105 and 110 degrees F (41 to 43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast on top of the mixture, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast begins to form a creamy foam. Stir in the instant mashed potato flakes, and mix well.
  2. 2 Pour the yeast mixture into the work bowl of a standing mixer with a dough paddle, and slowly incorporate 8 cups of bread flour into the liquid, adding the flour 1 cup at a time.
  3. 3 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 8 minutes, adding the remaining flour to the dough as you knead. When the dough is smooth and elastic, form into a ball, and place into a large greased bowl. Turn the dough over in the bowl to grease the top, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
  4. 4 Spray 2 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Punch the dough down, divide into two pieces, and shape each piece into a loaf shape. Place the loaves in the baking pans, seam sides down, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Bake bread for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to a wire rack to cool.

Instructions

  1. 1 Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water in a small bowl; sprinkle yeast over water. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and potato flakes in a bowl; set aside. Combine buttermilk, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, egg, and salt in a separate large bowl; add yeast mixture, then add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
  3. 3 Shape dough into a ball, oil surface with vegetable oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Gently punch down dough; divide into 9 equal pieces. Shape pieces into balls. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish; place dough balls into the prepared dish so they slightly touch each other. Brush tops with about 1 tablespoon melted butter. Cover dish with plastic wrap; allow dough balls to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes. The balls should rise above the top of the dish and crowd each other.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
