RECIPE CONTEST WINNER - A spectacular made-from-scratch ʻUlu Pierogi recipe using ʻulu flour for the dough and mature ʻulu for the filling!
Author:Justine Ma
Ingredients
1 ½ cup breadfruit flour
1 ½ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
¼ cup sunflower oil
1 cup water
4 cups steamed ʻulu (grated)
½ cup chopped caramelized onion
Fresh or dried dill
3 Tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Dough
Filling
Directions
Combine the ʻulu and filling ingredients together, set aside.
For the dough, whisk breadfruit flour, all purpose flour and salt in a bowl.
Pour in oil and water, then combine with a fork until it forms a shaggy dough, and form into a ball by hand.
Let the dough rest for 30 to 60 minutes.
On a clean surface, place cutting board, lined baking sheet, and scale. Weigh out the dough to 15-20g, or approximately 1 Tbsp pieces.
Using your hands, roll each piece of dough into a ball; then use a rolling pin to flatten into an 1/8-inch thick circle.
Place 1 Tbsp of filling in the center of each dumpling skin, then fold in half and pinch to close.
To cook, boil water and put dumplings in the pot.
When dumplings float to the surface, remove them from the boiling water.
Pan fry in butter and enjoy!

’Ulu pierogis, or dumplings, are my new favorite. It took a while for me to prep/cook, but they were worth the wait. Each bite is pure starchy goodness, with the perfect hint of dill. The dumpling can be a little dry so I recommend creating a dipping sauce for some moisture and added flavor.
