Recipe Request: Knishes!

I miss knishes so bad... The baked kind, not the fried kind you get from a NYC hot dog stand, although either would do. I'm sure it's not hard to make the potato filling... But I'm not sure what kind of gluten-free dough to use.

Any ideas? Has anyone tried to make a gluten-free knish before?

I'm convinced it can be done.

I was thinking a gluten-free pizza dough might be the right consistency.

OK, I hereby make a promise: I WILL figure out a way to make us knishes. You have my word. It may take a while, but I will do it!

Chebe is a whole line of gluten-free bread mixes made from tapioca flour that are actual doughs, not batters. I make pizza with them often. Do you have a recipe for knish that you used to use, and if so, may I have it? I'll try, too!!!

That sounds perfect! I will definitely try that. Nope, no knish recipe - But I have an honorary uncle who owned a knish bakery (yes, that's all he made!) for years and I will eventually try to get the recipe from him.

OMG, I can't believe anyone could compare a knish to a hot pocket!! My grandmother would turn over in her grave!

I was gonna say I would ask my dad for a recipe, but I think your uncle has it covered. LOL!!

Have you ever had a sweet potato knish?!!! Mmmmmm!!! Although I love them all. Potato (round and square), spinach. Ok, I officially miss knishes.

If you can recreate knishes I am so having a Blockbuster!! I don't know if this is something my dad invented or if other kosher restaurants have it. Square knish cut in half, baked with mustard, grilled salami and sauerkraut. Yummers!!!

I think the hot pocket analogy is instructional for someone who has never heard of any of the other types.

I was in a classroom, and the subject of savory pies came up. Every single one of the kids was going "Ew, ew, ew...gross!", like they'd never eaten hot pockets or pizza.

I wouldn't know a knish if it bit me, but I saw someone once make... I think it was Latke's with rice paper, you know the stuff they use as a wrapper for asian cooking, on Food TV. No wait, it was wonton wrappers. But maybe rice paper would work.

Nancy - Hm, That doesn't make any sense, as latkes are potato pancakes, made of potatos and eggs. They don't involve any kind of paper or wrapper. I'm wondering what food you might be thinking of... Hm...

I wish I could find all-rice wonton wrappers! I love wontons and miss them.

I spoke to someone at the Manishewitz Company and she told me that their Passover Potato Knish Mix is Gluten Free. Their site has a whole section for Gluten Free (in the health section) and I was thrilled to see that many of the items that I always loved are included. I'm going to be able to eat real food! They've even got Gluten Free vinegar and ketchup.

Wow! That is too exciting! I hope they are good. I will definitely see if my store has them, if not they will surely have them around Passover since it looks to be a K-for-P item.

I am also planning to work on making my own, using Chebe dough. Will keep you all posted. Thanks for pointing out the gluten-free section on the Manischewitz page!

I posted a separate thread about this but figured I should follow up on this old thread in case anyone's following it... If you try it please let me know how it turns out.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
