Variations....

 

APPLE-CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE

 

Peel and core 2 medium-large Granny Smith apples and cut into 1/4-inch dice.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet (preferably nonstick) over

high heat until golden. Add apples, cover, and cook over high heat, stirring

frequently, until they are dry and very tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from

heat, sprinkle apples with 2 tablespoons sugar, and lightly toss until

glazed. Cool to room temperature. Follow recipe for Quick Crumb Coffee Cake,

adding 1 teaspoon cinnamon with the baking powder and soda, and folding the

apples into the finished batter.

 

 

COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COFFEE CAKE

 

Follow recipe for Quick Crumb Coffee Cake, substituting firm-packed light

brown sugar for white sugar and stirring 1 cup miniature chocolate chips

into finished batter. For topping, decrease nuts to 1/2 cup, substitute

light brown sugar for dark, omit cinnamon, and add 1 cup sweetened flaked

coconut.

NOTES : The trick is to use the same mixture for both batter and topping.

Use buttermilk to thicken and enrich the batter, which must be thoroughly

beaten to aerate and emulsify the ingredients; use a generous amount of

crumb topping; and let the cake cool completely before serving.

 

This cake is best eaten on the day it is baked, though it may be made a day

ahead. The batter is quite heavy, so you may prefer to beat it with an

electric mixer at medium-high speed for a minute or so, rather than whisk it

by hand. Do not insert a skewer into this cake to test for doneness until

the center appears firm when the pan is shaken. If you do, the topping may

squeeze air out, and the middle of the cake may sink.

Rye Bread Bowl and Spread

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Appetizers Holiday

Vegetarian

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

The Bread:

3 cups warm water

2 tablespoons molasses OR malted barley syrup

2 packets or 1 rounded tablespoon active dry yeast

4 cups pumpernickel flour

3 tablespoons dill seed -- (or 1 1/2 tablespoons dill weed )

5 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- (up to 5 1/2 cups)

4 teaspoons salt -- (up to 5)

4 tablespoons olive or other vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups chopped onion

cornmeal

The Dip:

2 cups sour cream -- or light sour cream or yogurt

2 cups mayonnaise -- l or ight mayonnaise or low-fat

cottage cheese you've puréed in a blender

1 cups chopped onion -- (1 to 2)

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley -- or 2 to 3 teaspoons dried

2 teaspoons dill weed

1 teaspoon celery seed or 1 tablespoon minced celery

leaves

1/2 teaspoon salt -- (or to tasteyou can also use an herb salt if

you like)

1/2 teaspoon sugar -- optional

 

 

 

The Bread:

 

Pour the water into a large mixing bowl and stir in the molasses and then

the yeast. Blend in thoroughly the pumpernickel flour, 1 cup of the

unbleached all-purpose flour, and the dill seed. Cover the bowl and let this

sponge work for a couple of hours (or all day if you have something else to

do).

 

About two hours before you want your bread to be baked, blend in the rest of

the ingredients (except for the cornmeal) until you have a fairly stiff

dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 3 or 4

minutes.

 

Since rye dough tends to be sticky, keep your hands and the board well

floured while you knead it. Even when it's thoroughly kneaded, it will still

be a bit sticky. Don't try to get rid of the stickiness by continuing to add

flour. You can't, and if you try you'll have a rye door stop. (We have one

of these in our office which we use just for that purpose! Waste not, want

not, we always say. We can always find a use -- door stops, birds, bread

crumbs, bread pudding, etc. -- for whatever we bake, no matter how

disastrous it initially seems.)

 

After 3 or 4 minutes, give the dough a rest while you prepare two baking

sheets. You can either grease them and then sprinkle them with cornmeal; or

you can use parchment paper and sprinkle cornmeal on that.

 

Go back to your dough and knead another 3 or 4 minutes. Divide the dough

into thirds; shape one piece into a nice ball and place it on one baking

sheet. Cover it with a damp towel and put it someplace cozy to rise for

about an hour. Take the remaining two pieces of dough and shape them into

one large loaf.

 

Note: If you have a large commercial oven that will hold two baking sheets,

by all means let your loaves rise and bake at the same time. The baking time

for the larger loaf is longer; see baking directions below.

 

If you have a traditional oven that can hold only one baking sheet at a

time, take the large loaf and place it back in your bowl, cover it and let

the dough rest for about 20 minutes. (We've done it this way so the second

loaf should be ready to go into the oven when the first loaf comes out.)

 

After 20 minutes, take the large loaf, reshape it a bit and place it on the

second baking sheet. Cover it with a damp towel and let it rise for about an

hour.

 

Fifteen minutes before you want your first loaf to go in the oven, preheat

the oven to 400°F. Just before your loaf goes in, gently slash the top once

with a serrated knife. Don't press down; saw gently back and forth. Brush

the top with a bit of cold water and place the baking sheet in the oven.

 

After 20 minutes, turn the heat down to 350°F and continue baking for a

further 20 to 25 minutes.

 

Take the first loaf from the oven and give the bottom a tap. If it sounds

hollow (no wet dough inside), it's done. If you want to be absolutely sure,

use an instant-read thermometer; bread is done when the interior has reached

190°F.

 

Now slash the top of the second loaf, brush with cold water and place it in

the oven. Turn the temperature back up to 400°F and let this one bake for 20

minutes. Then turn the temperature down to 350°F and let it continue baking

for 30 to 35 minutes. If the top seems to be getting too brown, turn the

temperature down to 325°F for the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking time.

 

Make sure both loaves are completely cool before you start cutting them up.

 

 

The Spread:

This can either be rich and revelrous or slim and still revelrous. We'll

give you the options and you can make the choices. Any way you do it, you'll

have enough for both loaves or one big loaf. Make it ahead of time as well

so it's ready for you when you want it. If you're feeling frantic, a guest

would love to put this together.

Mix this all up in a bowl and give the flavors a chance to develop and blend

before you decide to adjust the seasonings. You can add other vegetables if

you wish, or use a favorite spread of your own.

 

The Bread & Spread:

 

Place the larger cooled loaf of bread on a large plate or platter. Take a

sharp knife and cut through the bread crust where you'd like the edge of

your bowl to be. Use the knife to peel off the " lid. " Then use a fork and

your fingers to pull out the rest of the interior of the loaf. Break up the

lid, the interior of the loaf and the smaller loaf into manageable pieces

and place them on the plate around the large loaf. Scoop the spread into the

" bowl. "

 

When you and your guests have finished all the bread pieces and you're left

with an " empty bowl, " take the lead and start breaking up the bowl itself.

Since it has soaked up some of the spread, it is delicious as is. Since this

smacks of doing something a little racy, you won't have much trouble

convincing your guests to dig in.

 

 

Description:

" Here's a revelrous appetizer, a hearty loaf of pumpernickel bread

hollowed out to become a bowl for the spread you eat it with. And when

you're done, you can rip up the bowl itself and eat it! "

NOTES : Inspect your bag of baby carrots carefully for pockets of water.

Carrots taken from the top of the supermarket’s carrot pile are often

waterlogged. This not only makes carrots mealy, it also dashes any hopes of

caramelization in the oven.

Categories : Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1/3 cup raw hulled sunflower seeds

1 tablespoon Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tsp yellow mustard seeds

3 scallions -- thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves -- slivered

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

1 cup roasted buckwheat (whole granulation)

2 cups boiling water

3/4 tsp salt

2 tablespoons mango chutney -- chopped

 

 

 

Prep Time: 30 minutes

In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, cilantro, and mint; refrigerate.

In a small, ungreased skillet over low heat, toast sunflower seeds for 2 to

3 minutes until lightly crisped. In a large non stick skillet, heat oil over

medium-low heat. Add mustard seeds and cook 1 minute until they begin to

pop. Add scallions, garlic, and ginger; cook 2 minutes.

Add buckwheat and cook, stirring all the while, for 2 minutes or until

fragrant. Stir in water and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer,

cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes until buckwheat is tender. Stir in chutney

and sunflower seeds. Serve with yogurt mixture.

 

 

Description:

" Roasted buckwheat, often sold in packages as kasha, comes in

different granulations. For this recipe we used the larger, whole

granulation. If you can't find the whole buckwheat, feel free to

substitute the medium or cracked granulation. Cooking time may vary

depending upon the size of the buckwheat. The crunch of the sunflower

seeds is a pleasant surprise. "

Vanilla Sables

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Cookies Desserts

French

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup unsalted butter -- softened

3/4 cup superfine sugar

1 large egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

 

Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl. With an electric mixer at

medium-low speed, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is

creamy, and the sugar grains are barely visable. This should take about 2-3

minutes.

 

Add the egg and vanilla and beat until the mixture is smooth and combined

 

Sift the flour and salt on to the top of the butter mixture. Then using a

large wooden sppon ( not the mixer ) siir the flour mixture into the butter

mixture until incoporated. Do this just until the flour mixture is mixed

in, do not stir too much because doing this ( or using the mixer instead of

hand stirring for this step ) may make the cookies hard or tough in texture.

 

Divde the dough in half. On a sheet of waxed paper form each half into a

10 " log ( using the paper to make a smooth cylinder shape ) Wrap tightly

with the waxed paper and wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 2 hours ( or

if you want up to a week---you can also store a dough log in a freezer for

up to a month! )

 

Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and pre-heat the stove to 325

degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a long, sharp

knife, slice the dough into half inch rounds and place them on the proepared

pan. Bake 12-15 minutes, watching carefully. They are done when the

egesare a pale golden brown but the the centers of the cookies are still

quite pale.

 

Remove the cookies from the pan using a spatula and cool completely on a

wire rack. The cookies will keep well in a covered container for 2 -3 days.

NOTES : Sable ( there is an accent over the e which my recipe program will

not make ) means " sandy " in French. These are like shortbread cookies, but

more delicate and crumbly in texture. They are delicious and easy to make !

If transporting them, use a show box or plastic container instead of a bag

or plate, they edges can break off in transit.

 

Cooking hint.....The French cooks always use UNSALTED butter in their

baking. Using salted butter will change the taste. Superfine sugar ( easily

available in US grocery stores --this is NOT powdered sugar, but just sugar

with finer or smaller grains ) is also used. They use " parchement paper "

instead of greasing cookie sheets.

 

Shopping hint...read the entire recipe before shopping. Getting the " odd "

things ( like unsalted butter and parchment paper ) really help make the

cookies better. They are all available in US grocery markets. Be sure you

have waxed paper etc before you start.
