In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the egg, and begin mixing while gradually adding water to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sauerkraut and drained, rehydrated mushrooms. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well-combined and slightly browned. Season with black pepper. Let the filling cool.
Roll the rested dough out on a floured surface to approximately 2mm thickness. Use a round cutter (about 7cm in diameter) to cut out circles.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the sauerkraut and mushroom filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the pierogi in batches into the water and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
Optionally, pan-fry the cooked pierogi in butter for added texture and flavor before serving.
Serve warm with sour cream or as a standalone dish. Enjoy your Pierogi Z Kapusty!
