PAStrY:
8 c Unsifted all-purpose flour
2 t Baking powder
2 c (4 sticks) butter, softened
4 8-oz packages cream cheese,
-softened FILLING:
3 1/4 c Coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/4 c Golden raisins
3 T Sugar
2 t Ground cinnamon
1 12-oz jar seedless raspberry
-preserves 1/2 c Apricot preserves (opt.)
Fresh ivy or other green -leaves (opt.)
1. Prepare Pastry in 2 batches: In large bowl, combine half the flour
and baking powder; mix well. With electric mixer at low speed, beat in half the butter and cream cheese until smooth dough forms. Divide dough into 4 balls. Repeat with remaining flour, baking powder, butter, and cream cheese to make 4 more balls of dough. Wrap balls of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. 2. On lightly floured surface, roll one ball of dough into a 12 by 10
~inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. With fluted pastry wheel or knife, cut rectangle into two 12 by 5-inch strips. (Using pastry wheel, trim 1/16 inch from outside lengthwise edges to flute.) Transfer strips to baking sheet or large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Repeat rolling and cutting with remaining balls of dough, stacking strips between plastic wrap and refrigerating as they are made. 3. Prepare Filling: Set aside 1/4 C each nuts and raisins. In food
processor fitted with chopping blade, process remaining 3 C walnuts until finely chopped. In medium-size bowl, combine finely chopped nuts, the sugar, and cinnamon. Set mixture aside. 4. Heat oven to 325'F. Line 1 large baking sheet with aluminum foil;
place 2 sheets of foil crosswise an a second large baking sheet. Place one 9-inch pastry ring (see Note) on the first baking sheet; place a 6-inch pastry ring and a 3-inch pastry ring on separate sheets of foil on the other baking sheet. With the tip of a skewer or toothpick, score outline of all rings into foil; remove rings and set aside until ready to bake rugelach. 5. To make 9-inch rugelach, brush one strip of dough lightly with
raspberry preserves. Sprinkle 3 T walnut mixture and 1 T raisins to cover half of strip lengthwise. Fold uncovered half of dough strip lengthwise over covered half to enclose filling and make a 12 by 2 1/2-inch strip. Brush top of folded strip lightly with raspberry
preserves. From either end, loosely roll up filled strip; stand, cut edges up, in center of 9-inch ring scored on baking sheet. 6. Fill and fold 8 more strips of dough as in step 5; brush top of
each with preserves. With preserve-brushed surface facing center, wrap one filled dough strip, cut edges up, around rolled strip on baking sheet. Continue wrapping remaining 7 filled strips around center, pinching ends of strips together, until ring is filled. Sprinkle outside of rugelach with about 2 T walnut mixture and place 9 inch pastry ring around rugelach spiral.
7. With remaining pastry strips, prepare 6-inch and 3-inch rugelachs
repeating steps 5 and 6, using 5 filled strips of dough for 6-inch rugelach and 2 filled strips for 3-inch rugelach. Pat some of remaining walnut mixture around outside of rugelachs, using about 1 1/2 T on each. Carefully place pastry rings around rugelachs.
8. Stir reserved nuts and raisins into remaining walnut mixture.
Sprinkle over top of rugelachs, tucking nuts and raisins into the spaces between pastry rings. 9. Bake 9-inch rugelach 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, 6-inch rugelach 1 1/4
to 1 1/2 hours, and 3 inch rugelach 1 hour or until center is browned and firm to touch. With large spatula, remove 3-inch rugelach, still on foil, to wire rack allowing 6-inch rugelach to remain in the oven until it is completely baked. When baked, carefully transfer all rugelachs to wire rack; remove pastry ring and foil. Let rugelachs cool to room temperature. 10. Just before serving, in small saucepan, melt apricot preserves and
brush over top of each rugelach. Place 9-inch rugelach on serving plate; top with the 6 inch and 3-inch rugelachs. (If necessary, trim tops of 9 and 6-inch rugelachs to make level so tiers will stand securely.) Garnish plate with fresh ivy or other green leaves, if desired. 11. To serve, cut 3-inch rugelach into 6 wedges and remove to
individual plates. Then cut 6-inch rugelach into 10 wedges and remove to plates; cut 9-inch rugelach into 14 wedges and remove.

Cookbook author Jake Cohen on celebrating Jewish food through his recipes | Interview
Jake Cohen continues to find inspiration from his own life for his cooking. Gibson Johns interviews the best-selling cookbook author and viral cooking sensation ahead of the release of his second collection of recipes, I Could Nosh: Classic Jew-ish Recipes Revamped for Every Day, on September 12. They discuss how the press cycle for his first book informed his second, misconceptions around Jewish food and culture, understanding himself better through cooking and what it was like when Britney Spears randomly posted one of his viral videos on her Instagram.
