Pierogi Dough

I'm thinking I might try making ground beef stuffed pierogi type things... My mom gave me her dough recipe and I figured I could use that. Imagine an omelet sized pierogi full of curried beef, peas, carrots, chick peas, and spinach. And maybe a bit of a curry sauce if I can find a reasonable recipe.

But... my question is that I would love to bake the pierogi thing in the oven (pre-cooked meat and chick peas) but does anyone know if pierogi dough will bake in the oven properly? And if so at what temperature and for how long (though I'm also fine with giving it a check poke every once in a while)?

I've only ever had pierogies boiled or fried and I'd like to keep the oil away. I may fry as a second option if I cannot bake.

    I boil mine..and use Flour, eggs and cottage cheese as the dough. I can't tell you proportions though :( it's all my sight and how it feels.

    I've tried to bake perogies and it doesn't taste good at all. The dough doesn't get very cripsy.

    You can bake them at 400 for about twenty minutes, but I don't know that you'll be pleased with the result, that particular dough needs moisture to taste/feel right. I've baked them, but I did not like the texture when they were done. If you're avoiding oils and stuff, why not just steam them or boil them?

    I've never made my own but I've bought them from a deli that makes them. I've boiled them and I've baked them, both successfully. I've found that they will get crispy if you freeze them then bake them.

    Haha I wasn't sure if maybe there way a way of simulating the fried texture with baking. But I was thinking the dough might need that moisture from boiling and I somehow see it getting overly soggy if I boil a little bit first and then try to bake them.

    That's good to know! Maybe I'll make a few test subjects.
