In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add water gradually while mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sauerkraut and cook for another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 0.25 cm thickness. Cut into circles using a round cutter or glass.
Place a spoonful of mushroom and sauerkraut filling onto each dough circle. Fold and seal the edges, pressing them together to form a half-moon shape.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pierogi for 3-5 minutes, until they float to the top.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a pan and fry the onions until golden and crispy.
Serve the cooked pierogi topped with fried onions and alongside slices of Polish rye bread.
