Sourdough Perogies THM-XO

One of the many traditional German side dishes popular in Lancaster County is homemade egg noodles. I learned the art of noodle making from my Old Order Mennonite grandmother and aunts as they made dishpans of noodles for their large families. The Atlas Noodle Maker I have was a gift from my late mother-in-law. These Perogies are made with sourdough pasta that has been fermented for more than 24 hours. With this recipe you can also make noodles and even Ravioli. Perogies and ravioli are a bit time consuming but we do enjoy them for special occasions.

  1. I’m supposed to have these for dinner tonight! But i assumed it was the same as bread with a 7+ hours ferment. Can i skip the “refrigerate for 24 hours” step and ferment on the counter for 7 instead?

  2. Hi Glenda! Thank you for sharing this sourdough perogie recipe! What is the approximate number of perogies to expect from this recipe? I don’t have a pasta machine. Can I roll out this dough with a rolling pin? If so, what thickness am I trying to achieve? And last but not least, can you please share what the flour to water ratio is in your starter? For example, my starter is 50:50. Thank you for any help you can offer.

    • It all depends on how large you make your perogies on how many you get. You can roll the dough with a rolling pin..I like it about 1/16 inch thick. My starter is fed with this ratio 1 part starter, 1 part flour, and 2/3part water.
