Hello again and welcome back to another weekly cooking for genus hour! For this weeks dish i am going to make pierogi's. Pierogi's are filled dumplings made by wrapping unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling to then be cooked in boiling water. It sounds almost as good as it taste but we are not here to listen to me talk about its flavor.
Lets review some history on these delicious dumpling's. The original pierogi and where it originated is disputed to this day and difficult to tell. The only thing we know is that the word pierogi first appeared in polish cook books and literature in the late 17th century. Claims of the origins of the dumpling have been made by Poles, Romanians, Russians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, and Slovaks. Pierogi's are also a culinary link to Pittsburgh introduced to the location by immigrants who came to the area. Now that we know everything their is to know on these dumpling delights lets move on to the recipe. So first things first is to prepare the dough. To make the dough we are going to add salt,flour,half a cup of hot water,and begin to mix the ingredients in a bowl while adding some melted butter. One the ingredients are mixed well we let the mixture sit for 5 to 7 minutes then wrap the top with foil at room temperature for 30 minutes. Next is to prepare the filling with chopped potato's,cold water,and a pinch of salt.While that cooks i added onions to the mixture for the dough and stirred until it were nice and golden . Next once everything is ready i simply laded out the finished wraps and put the filling in. Im afraid i cannot upload a picture of the finish product because i ate them to quickly. so i have found a picture to show you the finished product. Until next time!

Hello again and welcome back to genius hour! spring break has been a week of sleeping and gaming for me but now to kick off the dust and get the week started why don't we cook something? This week I am gonna cook or should i say bake pizza logs. Pizza logs originated in western new York and from the sound of it is as common as the easy to find as a hot dog stand. The pizza roll was invented by Jeno Paulucci. How it happened was Jeno replaced the traditional filing of a Chinese egg roll with pizza toppings. The product was allegedly created in 1960. Currently the pizza log is owned by a man named Jason Corvoda. This was all i could find on the pizza roll so why don't we get to the cooking part of this project and we can resume the research next time. Alright so this recipe is very easy which makes this much simpler to explain then other recipes so far. So lets just jump into it with what we need. For the recipe we need pizza sauce, pepperonis,won ton wraps, and a type of cheese for this recipe i just used mozzarella cheese sticks. Shown below is what i used specifically. Now onto the steps to the finished product. First and foremost before we start their are a few ways to cook this recipe you can ether bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or fry them in a air fryer. For this protect i decided to do both. Now onto cooking, First i layed all the wraps needed out while i prep everything else. For this recipe i wrapped the cheese sticks with the pepperonis before placing them in the won tons. Then i simply wrapped the won tons to bake and fry them. this recipe was short and easy but tasted actually pretty good. Below is the finished product.
