Finish the kneading by hand, using as much flour as necessary to keep it from sticking. BY HAND: Put the flour, salt and egg yolks in a large bowl and gradually stir in about 1/4 cup cold water, adding more if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. Turn onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, sprinkling with flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Shape the dough into a ball, dust with flour, and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rest for 20 minutes to 2 hours. (You can make the dough up to this point, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate for up to a day. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.) Knead the ball for a minute, then cut into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 1-inch- wide log, then cut into 1-inch pieces and roll each one out from the center to form a 4-inch round or square, adding a bit more flour if necessary. Use immediately or dust with flour, stack, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for up to a couple of days or freeze for up to 2 weeks. — Recipes from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian Recipe variations Whole Wheat Pierogi Wrappers Use whole wheat flour for all or part of the white flour. You will need to add more water; do so a teaspoon at a time. And the dumplings will need to cook a minute or 2 longer. Pasta, Noodles, and Dumplings
