Note

Knysh is basically a ball bun: mashed potatoes surrounded by a thin layer of puff pastry. It can be baked and fried and with a variety of fillings. Knysh gained popularity among expats in New York.
Knysh is a small round pie typical for Belarusian cuisine with baked inside (or laid on the surface, between the raised edges) cottage cheese or other filling: jam, or browned onions with cracklings.
Very characteristic of the 19th century. there were knyshes with buckwheat porridge and onions with cracklings, which were served in moderately prosperous houses as an addition to meat dishes. At the beginning of the XX century. Vaclav Lastovsky tried to save the word, defending himself against the expansion of the Russian cheesecake. According to him, "Knysh is baked with cottage cheese, poppy seeds, hemp and jam."
This dish was prepared mainly on holidays that fell during Lent (Christmas Eve, Annunciation), for commemoration, farewell. Knysh were presented to carols, they were visited by relatives and godfathers on Christmas holidays, they were carried by children to their grandmothers and midwives. Now knyshi are cooked occasionally, mainly in Polesie.
My family loves knyshi with sour cream and herbs. Try it. I hope you enjoy it too!

I really love these knys! True, I do not do it in the shape of a cylinder, but rather like a thick cake similar. I guess it doesn't affect the taste.

Once I watched a program in which the chef was preparing a knysh according to the recipe of a woman from Transcarpathia. So that knish is made in the form of yeast bread. Layers of dough are placed in the pan, which are sprinkled with cracklings, black pepper and ground paprika. Then this knish comes up and baked like bread. Served cut into pieces like cake.

Such a very tasty knysh-bread - sometimes I bake it to borscht.

And that chef prepares such a knish in one of the Kiev restaurants and sells it dearly.

I will definitely add photos later. And in a bread maker, it seems to me, you should not knead. Very quickly, literally in 2 minutes, you can knead with your hands.

Yes, potato is one of the traditional fillings for knyshiks. And really delicious. Warm knishiks are tastier with some kind of brushing: sour cream, mayonnaise and a lot of green tea.

LOVE everyone!
