Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make dumplings with mushrooms? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Use premium flour. Take egg C1 or C0. 1-1.5 hours before cooking, remove it from the refrigerator. In order for the dough to be successful, the ingredients included in it must be at room temperature. Take a large onion or 2 small ones. Instead of champignons, you can use any mushrooms. Just keep in mind that some of them need to be boiled first.

Step 2

Step 2
Start by preparing the dough. Wash the egg with food-grade soap, dry with a towel or napkin and break into a separate container. Add salt and beat with a fork or whisk. There is no need to whip until foam appears. Adding salt improves the taste of the dough and makes beating the egg easier. Add room temperature water and stir until smooth.

Step 3

Step 3
To knead the dough, take a deep bowl in which it will be convenient to mix dry and liquid ingredients. Sift the flour to remove small debris and oxygenate the dough. Pour half the flour into this bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour the egg-water mixture into the well in the flour and stir. Be sure to add the liquid component to the dry component, and not vice versa. This way the dough will be the most successful. Since the properties of flour of the same type, but from different manufacturers, may differ, to obtain the desired consistency, add the remaining flour in small portions.

Step 5

Step 5
When it becomes difficult to knead with a spoon, start doing it with your hands. Knead the dough thoroughly.

Step 6

Step 6
The dough should be slightly elastic, but tender and not stick to your hands. Donʼt make the dough too stiff so you donʼt end up with rubbery dumplings. Cover the dough with a cotton towel or cling film to prevent it from drying out. Leave it to rest for 15-20 minutes. After this it will be easier to work with it.

Step 7

Step 7
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Peel the onion, wash and cut into small cubes. This way it will cook quickly and the filling will be more uniform.

Step 8

Step 8
Peel the champignons, rinse and chop them like onions so that the filling is more homogeneous.

Step 9

Step 9
To fry the filling, take a frying pan with a diameter of at least 18 cm so that all the filling can fit. Heat it over medium heat. Add the butter and melt it over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add chopped onion. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to golden. It took me about 3 minutes. We fry the onion first, because it should be slightly fried, which will not happen due to the excess liquid in the mushrooms.

Step 10

Step 10
Add the mushrooms to the onions and fry until the moisture has evaporated. If you have frozen mushrooms, there will be more moisture, which means the frying time will increase. At the end, add a little salt and stir so that the salt is completely dissolved and the filling is salted evenly. Cool completely.

Step 11

Step 11
Proceed to making dumplings. Roll out the dough on a work surface sprinkled with flour into a layer 0.3-0.5 cm thick. Using a mold (glass, pastry ring), cut out round blanks for dumplings with a diameter of 4-6 cm. Make dumplings of the size you like best. Just keep in mind that if you make it too big, you will need more filling and you may end up with extra dough.

Step 12

Step 12
Place the mushroom filling in the center of the circles.

Step 13

Step 13
Make dumplings by joining the edges.

Step 14

Step 14
Do the same with the remaining dough and filling. In order to cook dumplings, take a fairly spacious pan and fill 2/3 with water. Lightly salt and bring to a boil. Place the dumplings in boiling water, carefully (the dough in homemade dumplings is quite tender and easy to tear) lift them with a spoon or slotted spoon. After this, reduce the heat a little and cook for 3-4 minutes.
