Amazingly Soft ‘n Easy Rugelach

Arrow


My wonderful daughter-in-law, Reizy, told me about this rugela dough a while ago, but somehow I never got around to testing it. When Chanie suggested offering bake-aheads for the upcoming Yamim Tovim, I decided that now’s the time! I’m so happy I tried it: the soft dough comes together in literally minutes, all you need is a pot and spoon, and they taste really good too! Use the suggested fillings below or your family’s favorites — b’tei’avon!   Check out our complete collection of Rosh Hashanah recipes for mains, sides, soups, desserts, and more inspiration for the holiday.

Directions

Prepare the Rugelach

Yields 48 rugelach

1. In a medium-sized pot, heat water and oil until beginning to boil. Remove from heat and add sugars to pot.
2. Combine flour and baking powder and add to pot, stirring with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined and the dough comes together. Set aside to cool a bit.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
4. Divide dough into four equal parts. Working with one part of dough, roll out thinly into a circle. Spread with filling of choice and cut into 12 even triangles (pizza-slice style). Roll up each triangle, beginning from wider end, and place on Gefen Parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until just beginning to brown at edges. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes:

For larger rugelach, cut each circle into eight triangles and bake for a few minutes longer.
