Sauerkraut Knishes - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 lbs potatoes (I used Yukon gold, peeled and chopped)
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed
1/8 cup water
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
Preparation
-
Cook the potatoes in 2 cups of boiling water in a covered pot for 20 minutes. Drain.
Heat the sauerkraut and caraway seeds in 1/8 cup of water in a small pot over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Mash cooked potatoes and divide mixture into thirds. Stir 1/3 of the mashed potatoes with sauerkraut mixture. Mix remaining mashed potatoes with turmeric, salt, flour and baking powder to create a dough.
Knead the dough for a few minutes. Then roll dough out onto a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 4\"x4\" squares (about 8). Place 1/8 of the filling on each square. Fold corners of the dough in and pinch dough tight in the center.
Preheat your oven to 375'F. Place knishes pinched side down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Bon Appetit!.
