Prepare the Rugelach
In a medium-sized pot, heat water and oil until beginning to boil. Remove from heat and add sugars to pot.
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.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
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.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until just beginning to brown at edges. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

How do you boil water and oil together? Won't the oil 'explode'?
Hi Tzippi,
You are correct that it's important to be careful! You can boil them together, gradually, and not to such a high heat. Make sure to use a good quality pot without any cracks.

Can you freeze these rogelach?
Super easy recipe, probably the easiest dough recipe for cookies ever. My only note is that I found 25 minutes to be too long to bake, probably 20 would've been enough.
I think I'll repurpose this dough for hamantaschen. I also suspect that if a rolled out portion of this dough is pricked with a fork, it would make great cookies that could be made into cookie sandwiches with a jam or peanut butter filling.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
how long should i let the dough rise before assembling it?
This dough doesn't need rising time!
Is this a regular dough or more like a flaky dough?
More of a regular dough.
