Instructions

  1. 1 Dissolve chicken bouillon in 1 tablespoon water.
  2. 2 Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions in hot butter until soft, 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes; drain and return potatoes to pot.
  4. 4 Mash potatoes, onion mixture, 1 egg, garlic, chicken bouillon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper together until potatoes are smooth.
  5. 5 Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl; make a well in the center. Stir oil and 2 eggs into flour mixture. Add 3/4 cup water and beat until dough is smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 5 balls.
  6. 6 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  7. 7 Roll 1 dough ball out on a lightly floured surface into a very thin rectangle. Brush surface of the dough with oil. Place about 5 spoonfuls of the potato mixture in a line on the dough about 2 inches from the long edge. Roll dough around filling. Pinch one end of the roll. Use the edge of your hand to cut dough roll into 5 knishes and pinch the edges of each. Repeat for remaining dough balls and potato filling. Place knishes on prepared baking sheet and brush each knish with oil.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and dough is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place ground pork, onion, garlic, sage, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, coriander, thyme, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide mixture in half and place each half on a length of plastic wrap. Use your damp fingers to shape each half into a cylinder, approximately the same length as the puff pastry. Roll up in the plastic wrap and form into a round roll. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. 2 Whisk egg with water to make an egg wash.
  3. 3 Separate semi-frozen puff pastry dough into thirds. Halve one of the thirds lengthwise. Bring pastry to room temperature. Brush a 2-inch strip of egg wash along 1 long edge of the 2 larger pastry pieces. Place narrower pieces on the egg wash strip, overlapping about 1 inch, to make a wider piece of pastry dough. Press lightly to form 2 wide lengths of pastry dough.
  4. 4 Transfer 2 sheets of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper; dust tops lightly with flour. Cover with another sheet of parchment. Roll gently to achieve an even thickness. Remove top sheet of parchment. Flatten the long edges of the dough slightly about 1 inch wide so that when the roll-up is completed, the seam side won't be thicker than the rest of the dough. Place a sausage log at the end of a pastry sheet. Begin to roll the sausage log in the pastry, brushing the far edge with egg wash before sealing the edges together. Place seam side down on parchment and place on a dish. Repeat with 2nd sausage roll. Freeze until dough firms up, about 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  6. 6 Place rolls on a lightly floured surface. Lightly brush top and sides with egg wash. Cut each roll into 8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on prepared baking sheet seam-side down (standing up). Lightly press each roll to flatten it slightly so they don't fall over when baking.
  7. 7 Place in preheated oven; bake until nicely browned, pastry is cooked through, and bottoms are browned, about 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make the dough: Whisk flour, kosher salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Add oil, warm water, beaten egg, and vinegar. Mix by hand until dough pulls together. Turn dough out onto the counter and knead until soft, smooth, and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, to make the filling: Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash and set aside.
  3. 3 Chop corned beef and cabbage into fine pieces.
  4. 4 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, corned beef, cabbage, and kosher salt. Cook and stir until onions are soft and golden brown and beef fat is rendered, about 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Transfer beef mixture to the bowl with mashed potatoes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined, then let filling cool to room temperature.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats.
  7. 7 Divide chilled dough in half; flatten one half into a rectangle on a floured surface. Roll out into a larger rectangle about 1/8-inch thick, pulling the corners as needed.
  8. 8 Place 3 cups filling over one long end, about 3 inches away from the edges. Beat egg with water in a small bowl and brush egg wash over the opposite end and a little on the sides. Stretch dough to cover filling, then roll up toward the egg-washed side. Fold the last 3 or 4 inches on top. Press in filling; roll over so seam-side is on the bottom.
  9. 9 Trim off excess dough from the ends if desired. Mark, but do not cut, dough into 8 equal pieces. Flour the side of your hand and press into the marks. Rub back and forth against the counter to separate each piece. Position each piece with one cut-end facing down and the other facing up. Squish down the top and tuck everything into the center to form a round knish.
  10. 10 Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush bottoms with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheets. Brush leftover egg wash on top.
  11. 11 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool until just warm or room temperature.

  1. 1 Place the eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the eggs under cold running water in the sink. Peel once cold.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  3. 3 Coat beef and chicken livers with 2 tablespoons of corn oil, then spread livers on a baking sheet. Broil in the preheated oven until brown on the top, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the livers and continue to broil until the livers are no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Place livers in a bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
  4. 4 Heat 2 tablespoons of chicken fat and 2 tablespoons corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Place onion in a bowl; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  5. 5 Finely chop the chilled beef and chicken livers, chilled onions, and hardboiled eggs together, then place in a bowl. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of chicken fat. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
