ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Knish

A knish is a yummy food that you can eat for a snack or as a meal. It's kind of like a little pie or a dumpling that's filled with yummy stuff like mashed potatoes, beef, cheese, spinach, or even fruit!

The knish is usually made by taking some dough (like a soft bread) and rolling it out. Then you take some yummy filling and put it in the middle of the dough. You fold the dough up around the filling so it looks like a little packet or ball.

After that, you bake the knish in the oven until the outside is a little bit crispy and the filling is all hot and tasty!

Knishes are a yummy food that people like to eat all over the world. They started in Eastern Europe, but now you can find them in lots of different places like bakeries, delis, or even at big events like fairs or festivals.
