Hello all.
I’ve been making Ukrainian vareniki / Polish pierogies lately and have had issues with my dough sometimes. It seems that every now and then my dough tends to contract as I roll it out and cut into circles. For example, I use a 2.5” cup to cut out circles but as soon as I lift them off of the table they shrink to 2.25”. I’m rather new at this but sometimes I’ve nailed a few recipes / batches but can’t seem to be consistent. I know this might be like going to a mechanic, telling them that your car is making a funny sound and hoping that they know the answer, but does anyone have ideas about what could be going wrong? Thanks.
