Method
1
Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
2
Pour vegetable oil and water into the well, then add the lightly beaten eggs. Mix with a fork, gradually incorporating the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Knead the dough by hand for 5-7 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic, adding a pinch of flour if needed to prevent sticking.
7 minutes
4
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
10 minutes
5
Working with one dough ball at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface into a thin, rectangular sheet about ¼-inch thick.
6
Roll the dough sheet tightly from the long side to create a log, then coil the log into a spiral and flatten slightly with your palm to form a knish.
7
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the formed knishes on a lightly oiled baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.
8
Brush the tops of the knishes lightly with any remaining beaten egg or water for a light golden finish if desired.
9
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
