KNISH

Steps:

• Add the flour and baking powder into the bowl of a stand mixer.
• In a bowl, whisk the water, an egg, the vinegar, the salt, and the vegetable oil.
• Pour the prepared liquid mixture over the flour and, using the dough hook, knead until a very elastic dough is formed.
• Cover the dough and place it for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Peel the potatoes, place them in a saucepan, cover with water and cook covered over medium heat for 25 minutes from the time the water returns to a boil.
• In a non-stick pan, heat the schmaltz and oil.
• Sweat the onions over medium heat until they are tender and golden. Lower the heat, then add the sugar and mix well.
• Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Drain the boiled potatoes and transfer them to a bowl.
• Add the fried onions and mash using a potato masher.
• Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F (180°C).
• On a floured surface, roll out the dough, giving it a rectangular shape of 12 x 16 inches (30 x 40 cm). Cut the edges to get a nice rectangle.
• Spread the filling in the shape of a sausage along the entire length of the rectangle 1 to 2 inches (3 or 4 cm) from the edge, then roll the dough on the sausage and pinch the two ends of the tube thus forming to close it.
• Using a knife, form 14 cavities evenly spaced over the entire length of the rod.
• Cut each small roll and pinch the dough with the fingers to close the two ends (like a candy).
• Place the shaped, spaced portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush each knish with beaten egg and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden.

JEWISH MEAT KNISHES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the butter, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth and well combined, scraping down the bowl once or twice. Add flour and salt and pulse to blend.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Using floured hands, form into a ball and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 9 minutes.
• Drain the mixture of excess fat. Add the pastrami and mix well.
• Pass meat through a grinder with the small hole setting. Alternatively, pulse then process the mixture in batches in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until finely chopped, taking care not to over process.
• Transfer meat to a large bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Add the salt, garlic powder, and white pepper and mix to combine. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add the eggs and mix well to combine.
• Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on it. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let come to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
• Roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Re-roll any dough scraps until all the dough is used.
• Make the egg wash by combining the beaten egg with the water. Brush each square with the egg wash.
• Place 1 1/2 tablespoons filling on one of the dough squares.
• Stretch the dough over the filling and fold the points to meet in the center, similar to an envelope, pinching the edges closed. Continue with the rest of the dough and filling. (You might not use all the filling.)
• Place knishes on the prepared baking sheets and brush with the egg wash.
• Bake until knishes are golden brown on the top and bottom, rotating the trays in the oven halfway through baking, about 30 minutes total.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND POTATO KNISHES

Steps:

• For the pastry: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the schmaltz, vinegar and 1/2 cup water and stir into a shaggy ball with a spoon or large rubber spatula. (It's OK if some of the flour remains dry at the bottom of the bowl; the dough will come together during kneading.) Attach the dough hook to the mixer and knead on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Dump out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it into a uniform ball, about 30 seconds. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes while making the filling. (The dough can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.)
• For the filling: Heat the schmaltz over medium-high heat in a medium heavy-bottom pot. Add the onions and 2 teaspoons salt and stir until coated. Cover and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and begin to brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally at first and then more frequently as the onions become sticky, soft and dark golden brown, about 30 minutes. Add the thyme and garlic and cook, stirring and scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the mixture is very fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cover the potatoes with cold water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the potatoes until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the potatoes and then return them to the pot. Cook the drained potatoes over low heat, shaking the pot to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are dry, about 1 minute.
• Combine the potatoes, caramelized onion mixture, cream cheese, sour cream, dill and chives in a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until everything is evenly combined. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Set aside to cool to room temperature. (The filling can be made and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day ahead.)
• To form the knishes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and set aside.
• Divide the dough in half. Use your hands to roll 1 of the dough halves into a 6-inch-long log on a lightly floured surface, then use a rolling pin to roll the log out into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. The dough will be very thin. Square off the sides, if necessary to prevent the end pieces from being too thick and uneven.
• Position the dough so that the long edges are parallel with the edge of the counter. Shape half of the filling into a 2-by-16-inch log. Transfer the filling on top of the dough, 1 inch in from the bottom edge. Gently stretch the dough up and around the filling. (It's ok if the dough tears a little as at this stage as it will be hidden as the dough is rolled up.) Then continue rolling up the filling in the dough into a long log. Score the log in 2-inch intervals and then cut the log into 8 segments.
• Working with one segment at a time, turn the piece so one of the cut side is up and pinch and smooth the top until sealed. Turn over so the other cut side is facing up, and pinch and smooth that side until sealed as well. Place the formed knish, with a sealed side down, on one of the prepared baking sheets and then gently press down to flatten it slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining segments, pastry and filling until all the knishes have been formed (see Cook's Note).
• Arrange the knishes about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Lightly brush the tops and sides with the reserved egg wash. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the knishes are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
• The knishes can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature with sour cream.

APPLE PIE FILLING II

Steps:

• Boil sugar and water.
• Add salt, lemon juice, and Clear Jell dissolved in 1/2 cup water.
• Cook until thickened, then add remaining ingredients.
• This is enough filling for 1 pie.
• Put one crust in a 9 inch pie pan add filling, top with second crust and seal edges.
• Bake at 325° for 1 hour. or until done.

DELISH KNISH

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cut potatoes. Cook in a pot of boiling water until soft enough to mash. Once cooked, drain water and return potatoes to the pot.
• 2. Mash using butter, sour cream, and a dollop of milk. Mix bacon bits and onion into the mashed potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 3. Roll out the dough so it lies flat. Use a pizza cutter to cut into 4 pieces cutting down the middle in each direction.
• 4. Place a small amount of cheese in the center of the dough. Then a large spoon full of mashed potatoes on top.
• 5. Fold dough over top pinching ends together. Place crease side down on greased cookie sheet.
• 6. Brush with egg wash. Then sprinkle with pepper, garlic salt, parsley flakes, and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 min or until golden.
