Farmers Cheese Rugelach

Ingredients

• 1 Lb Farmers cheese Used lifeway brand purchased at Winco Foods
• 2 Cups Flour For the dough
• 3/4 Cups Flour For rolling out the dough
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 Egg For the dough
• 1 Egg For eggwash
• 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
• Jam of your choice
• 1 Tbsp Baking powder
• 1/2 Tsp Baking soda
• 1 Stick ( 1/2 cup ) Butter
• Powder sugar For dusting . Optional

Instructions

1. In a mixer or food processor combine 2 cups of flour with farmers cheese, butter, vanilla, sugar , 1 egg , baking soda and baking powder. Mix till all combined . The dough will still be very sticky.
   
2. Flour your surface you will be working with and rolling your dough on. I used a little bit less than half of a cup of flour. Place your dough on to well floured surface. Working with your hands and some flour form your dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 Min.
   
3. When your dough has been chilled. Remove plastic wrap cut in half. Dust your surface with some more flour, Roll one half into a big circle not thin. At this point you can spread your favorite jam on top, or leave it plain without the jame. Cut it into 12 triangle. I start with cutting into fourth than each piece in three.
   
4. Roll each triangle in starting with the wider side. Place on to parchment paper about 1-2 inch apart. Make and egg wash. Egg wash includes 1 egg beaten With a table spoon of water. Brush each rugelach with egg wash and sprinkle the top with some sugar.
   
5. Bake at 375 for 25 min. Repeat the steps for the second part of the dough. Dust with powder sugar when baked.
