        Almond Brunch Loaf

        Almond Brunch Loaf

        1/2 cup orange juice

        1 egg

        2 tablespoons butter

        1/2 teaspoon salt

        2 1/4 cups bread flour

        1 tablespoon sugar

        1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

        2/3 cup almond cake & pastry filling (not paste)

        3 tablespoons toasted almonds — chopped

        1 teaspoon orange peel — grated

        orange juice sugar

        Add 1/2 cup orange juice, egg, butter, salt, bread flour, sugar and yeast to a bread machine according to manufacturers directions. Select dough cycle. When dough cycle is complete, remove dough from machine. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

        On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 24″ x 8″ rectangle. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the almond filling, almonds, and orange peel. Spread filling over dough to within 1/2″ of the edges. Fold dough loosely from a short side, making about eight 3″ wide folds. (This is similar to making a jelly roll, except you make folds 3″ wide, instead of rolling it.) Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. On one of the long sides, make eleven 2 1/2″ cuts from the edge toward the center at about 3/4″ intervals. Flip every other strip of dough over to the alternate side. Slightly twist each strip, exposing the filling. (The loaf will look braided when you are done flipping and twisting!)

        Bake in a 350 oven for 25 to 30 minutes of until golden brown. If necessary, cover loosely with foil during the last 5 to 10 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Lightly brush the bread surface with orange juice. Sprinkle with sugar. Serve warm.

Stir to mix well, mashing out the lumps with a wooden spoon. Add more liquid if necessary; the batter should pour off the spoon slowly but smoothly. You can use water instead of milk after youve added the first 1 1/2 cups of milk. Brush a hot skillet with oil or butter. The skillet should be well greased. Heat the skillet and cook the pancakes on the 1st side over med-hi heat until the surface bubbles; turn and cook briefly on the 2nd side. Transfer to warm plate. Makes 12 pancakes.

              Omelet Cu Brinza Si Ciapa Verde (Omelet w/Cheese & Onions)

              Filed under: Breakfasts | Tags:

              Omelet Cu Brinza Si Ciapa Verde (Omelet w/Cheese & Onions)

              6 oz Feta; Preferably Bulgarian

              1/2 c Scallions (Green Onions);

              -Finely Chopped 1 1/2 ts Sweet Hungarian Paprika;

              -Plus More For Garnish 6 lg Eggs

              1/3 c Milk

              Salt And Freshly Ground -Black Pepper 2 tb Unsalted (Sweet) Butter

              2 tb Fresh Dill; For Garnish

              If the feta is too salty, soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain well and crumble into fine pieces. Combine, in a bowl, with the scallions and paprika, then set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper, together, until frothy. Melt the butter in a 10-inch omelet pan over medium heat. When the butter bubbles rapidly, add half of the egg mixture and stir until it just begins to set. Continue cooking until the eggs are almost completely cooked, running a thin spatula around the edges to prevent sticking, about 1 1/2 minutes. Sprinkle half of the feta mixture on the omelet, then reduce the heat to very low, cover, and cook for 1 minute more. Slide the omelet onto a plate, folding it over if desired. Repeat with the remaining ingredients making 1 more omelet. Serve at once, sprinkled with more paprika and the fresh dill.

                Potato Waffles with Rosemary-Garlic Oil

                Potato Waffles with Rosemary-Garlic Oil

                2 Russet potatoes

                Salt to taste 1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil

                1 sm Onion, peeled, fine chopped

                2/3 c Milk

                Freshly ground black pepper -to taste 2 lg Eggs

                1 c All-purpose flour

                2 ts Double-acting baking powder

                (From Dorie Greenspans “Waffles From Morning to Midnight” (Morrow). Makes about 6 6-1/2″ waffles. Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into uniform small pieces. Put in a large pot with cold water to cover, salt well, and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and cook until potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork; drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of potato water. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl. While potatoes cook, heat olive oil and chopped onion in a small skillet over low heat just until onion softens a bit. Pour oil and onion over drained potatoes. Add milk to still-warm skillet - just to take chill off - then pour milk over potatoes. Using a fork, a potato masher or a rubber spatula, mash potatoes with oil and milk. Add 1/4 cup of warm potato water, reserving rest, and continue to mash until mixture is smooth. Taste potatoes and season liberally with salt and freshly ground pepper. Preheat waffle iron and finish batter by beating eggs into potatoes with a whisk or handheld mixer. Whisk together flour and baking powder and fold into potato mixture with a rubber spatula. Lightly butter or spray waffle iron grids. (You can skip this step with well-seasoned or non-stick materials.) Scrape batter by half-cup measure onto hot iron, smoothing batter evenly almost to edge of grids. Close iron and bake until brown and crisp.
