JELLY ROLL KNISHES WITH RICE OR POTATO FILLING
I lived in a cottage on the grounds of a estate owned by a wonderful family. They taught me the art of Jewish "cookery". I have refined this recipe many times. You can bake, cut, freeze and reheat. That is the asset of this recipe. Once you make this, the next time it is a snap and a "quick meal" you can take from your freezer.

Steps:
- Cook rice according to directions on box, and then allow the rice to cool.
- In a skillet, sauté the green or white onions and then add the chicken fat. Heat the chicken fat. If the fat remains in large pieces, finely mince the fat either with a knife or in a food processor.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.
- Place a sheet of dough onto the counter top and cut into 4 to 5 inch squares.
- Fill each square with a heaping tablespoon or more of the rice mixture, and then with wet fingers, fold in the corners and pinch and seal closed. Gently press to form patties, but don't squash too thin.
- Lay out the knishes onto a greased cookie sheet. I spray the cookie sheet with Pam non-stick spray. Brush top of each of the knishes with peanut oil.
- Keep checking, as often as you desire, to make sure they only become an almost golden color and not burnt.
- With a spatula, turn the knishes over, brush on peanut oil again, and continue baking until almost golden in color, and then remove from oven.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Place the knishes on a platter and garnish with Essence and parsley.
KNISHES
These small potato stuffed turnovers will have mouths watering before they're even out of the oven! My great grandmother brought this recipe all the way from Russia and it has been passed down 4 generations. The recipe is Jewish as was my great grandmother. She made them for Hanukkah, but being Christian we make them for Christmas dinner! Time consuming but SO worth it!

Steps:
- Place potatoes into a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside if onions are not yet ready.
- While the potatoes are boiling, heat 1/2 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, and cook until soft and translucent. Mix the onions and their oil into the potatoes, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside while you make the dough.
- In a large bowl, mix together eggs, 1/2 cup of oil, warm water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually mix in flour until the dough is stiff enough to remove from the bowl and knead. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for about 5 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes to relax the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
- Cut off a piece of dough about the size of an egg. Roll the dough out into a long narrow strip about 3 inches wide. Spread the potato mixture over the dough leaving a 1 inch strip along one of the long sides. Roll the dough around the filling towards the exposed strip, and gently press to seal. If you've done this step correctly, the dough will be shaped like a snake filled with potato filling. Repeat the process with remaining dough and filling.
- Place the potato filled rolls onto the prepared cookie sheet, and cut into 1 inch pieces using a pizza cutter.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned.

KNISHES THE OLD FASHION WAY
I've been making these for about 40 years. They make a wonderful make ahead appetizer and made larger are good as an accompaniment with a soup to round off a meal. I prepare them ahead and freeze them before they are actually cooked. They taste even better after frozen and can be baked in the oven and ready in about a half...

Steps:
- 1. Tip 1: Make the fillings first, even a day or so ahead so they will be all ready to put into the dough. Tip 2: These are even more delicious after frozen at the point before baking. Bake them when they are fresh or while still frozen. Tip 3:Do not thaw them after freezing. Bake them frozen. Tip 4: Anything too good to throw away can be made into a filling. Note: Schmaltz is rendered chicken fat, but olive oil works especially if you add some good dry chicken soup mix to it for extra taste. PASTRY: Sift dry ingredients together. Add rest of ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Dust a bowl with flour lightly. Turn it upside-down to remove excess. Put dough in and covery with damp dish towell, cloth or plastic wrAp. Let stand 15 minutes. Knead in mixer with dough hook JUST UNTIL ELASTIC. Work with 1/4 of the dough at a time keeping remainder covered. Fill one part of dough before rolling out nex part. Roll out (with rolling pin) and stretch dough into rounds about 20 inches in diameter, or as rectangular as possible.Make them as thin as possible. (The thinner the better tasting and the more knishes you can make.) Brush dough with oil, or melted butter or margarine. Put line of filling 1 to 1 1/2 inches from edge (and one inch thick) across width. Roll envelope style twice. Cut away this part from remainder and repeat untl used up. Brush with oil, or butter or margarine. Place seam-side down on liberally oiled (or my preference is to use parchment lined pans). Mash each roll with the palm of the hand to make it slightly flatter on top. Cut slits on top of the log about 1 1/2 inches apart to indicate where to finish slicing (and to make it easier to slice) once the logs are finished baking. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 45 minutes, or until golden brown. May turn once during baking, if desired. Serve as an appetizer or as a soup accompaniment or even with a salad as an entree. This pastry dough yields about 60 knishes so make plenty of filli

Steps:
- Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

- Beat eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, warm water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually stir in flour. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Divide the dough into thirds and roll each piece out to about 9x13-inches. Slice the rolled dough in half lengthwise, then spread the potato mixture down the center of each strip. Roll each strip around the filling and gently press to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to end with six logs.
- Cut each log into 1-inch slices and place cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the edges of the dough toward the center of the potato mixture to form a bun. Beat egg yolks and milk together in a small bowl. Brush each knish with the the egg yolk mixture.

KNISH
Knish is a classic Jewish comfort food. Sometimes I make tiny appetizer ones, which are a little more like a roll, and I seam on the top. -Marlena Spieler, Waterlooville, England

Tips:
- To make the perfect knish dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. The semolina flour will give the dough a slightly chewy texture.
- Make sure to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing when you are rolling it out.
- When rolling out the dough, make sure to use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- To make the rice filling, use a combination of long-grain and short-grain rice. The long-grain rice will give the filling a fluffy texture, while the short-grain rice will give it a chewy texture.
- Be sure to season the rice filling with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- When assembling the knishes, make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Bake the knishes in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Knishes with rice filling are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are relatively easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make perfect knishes that will impress your friends and family.
