Bialys

No joke: my grandparents used to import bialys from New York. They would freeze them and store them in zip-lock bags in the freezer of their Los Angeles kitchen. One of my favorite childhood memories is of sitting at their kitchen table, eating a hot, toasty bialy, sneaking sips of my grandfather’s coffee.

It’s hard to find decent bialy in San Francisco, but, amazingly, it’s quite easy to make them. Have yourself a New York morning and serve these hot out of the oven with cream cheese and lox.

  • ingredients
  • all-purpose flour for rolling and baking Pantry
  • 1 batch pizza dough (about 1 lb fresh pizza dough) $1.50
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or canola oil Pantry
  • 1/2 onion, chopped finely 0.50
  • 3 tbsp poppy seeds $1.50 for 1 oz.
  • salt and pepper to taste Pantry
  • 1 egg $1.50 for 12
Total Cost of Ingredients $5

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Lightly flour a baking sheet and set aside.

Cut dough into 8 (for larger bialys) or 10 (for smaller ones) equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into some semblance of a 4” or 5” circle (they need not be perfect—in fact it’s better if they aren’t). Let rest for 10-15 minutes.

While the dough rests, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until very soft and golden-brown. Add the poppy seeds and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Use your thumb to create a small well in the center of each dough round.

Beat the egg with 1/8 cup water to make an egg wash.

Use a pastry brush to brush the dough rounds lightly with the egg wash.

Put about 1 tbsp of the onion mixture (more, if it will fit) into the well you created in each bialy.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until bialys are golden-brown.

Serve hot, with butter, cream cheese or on their own.

That’s so funny … my grandparents are from NY and now live in Florida and whenever I go visit them I bring them a ton of bialys. When I get there the first thing my grandma does is put most of them in ziploc bags and stick them in the freezer.

The only place I’ve seen them is Izzy’s in Palo Alto, and while they are tasty, they are WAY too big. My NYC memories is a small bialy toasted with olive cream cheese. Thanks for the recipe!
