Apple-Caramel Upside Down Cake
Recipe By :

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large apple, for cooking -- about 1/2 pound
10 tablespoons butter -- softened
1 1/4 cups plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup pecans (4 ounces)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
PREPARATION: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple. Melt 2 tablespoons
butter in a 9-inch, cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add apple
slices and saut� until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer slices to a
plate. Increase heat to high, add 1/4 cup sugar to skillet and cook,
stirring frequently, until sugar melts and turns golden, about 3 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and arrange the apple slices in a circular
pattern over the bottom. Set skillet aside.
Chop pecans, toss with 3 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon, and set
aside. Sift flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Beat remaining butter in a bowl until lightened. Gradually beat in 1 cup
sugar, eggs, one at a time, sour cream, and vanilla. Fold dry ingredients
into the batter.
COOKING: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350�F.
Sprinkle half of the pecan mixture over the apples. Using your fingers or
a spoon, carefully spread half of the cake batter over pecans. Sprinkle
the remaining pecan mixture over the batter and carefully spread the
remaining cake batter over pecans. Bake the cake until top is golden and a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool
on a rack for 5 minutes. Run a small knife along the edge of the cake and
carefully invert cake onto a serving platter. If apples stick to the
skillet, loosen with a knife and arrange on the cake. Serve slightly warm
or at room temperature. (Can cover and store at room temperature up to 2
days.)

NOTES : The trick in this recipe is to melt the sugar over high heat,
stirring it often to achieve a delicate caramel color, then remove
the warm caramel from the stove and gently, but quickly, arrange
the saut�ed apple slices in the bottom of the pan. A cast-iron,
9-inch skillet can be used for the upside-down cake, or a
professional 9-inch baker's pan with straight sides will do in a
pinch.

Apple-Cranberry Lattice Tart
Recipe By :
Categories : Christmas Dessert
Fruit Dessert Pie

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
PASTRY
1/2 cup lard -- chilled
2 cups white flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable shortening -- chilled
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons cold water
APPLE-CRANBERRY FILLING
1/4 cup halved walnuts (1 ounce)
1 orange
2 large apples (1 pound)
1 cup cranberries -- chilled
1/2 cup raisins (3 1/2 ounces)
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon instant tapioca
PREPARATION: For the pastry, cut the lard into 1/2-inch pieces. If making
the dough by hand, put the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut the lard
and shortening into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender, or work
quickly with fingertips until mixture resembles a coarse meal with some
pea-sized pieces remaining. Lightly beat 1 egg with the vinegar and 1
tablespoon of the cold water and add it to the bowl, tossing with a fork.
Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough just holds together.
If using a food processor, put lard, flour, sugar, salt, and shortening
into the workbowl fitted with the metal blade and process until mixture
resembles a coarse meal. Lightly beat 1 egg with the vinegar and 1
tablespoon cold water. Add the egg mixture and pulse until dough holds
together. Divide the dough into two equal discs. Wrap in plastic and
refrigerate for 1 hour. (Can refrigerate overnight, or wrap in plastic and
freeze up to 1 month.)
For the filling, chop and set walnuts aside. Grate 2 teaspoons orange zest
into a large bowl and squeeze in 2 tablespoons orange juice. Peel and
grate apples into the bowl. Stir in cranberries, raisins, 1 cup sugar,
brown sugar, tapioca, cinnamon, and cloves.
COOKING: Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. In a

small bowl, lightly beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon cold water.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one disc of dough to an
11-inch circle and ease it into the tart pan. Trim the edge, leaving a
1/2-inch border, and brush edge of crust with egg. Pour filling into the
crust and pack it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Roll out the remaining dough to an 11-inch square. With a sharp knife or
serrated pastry wheel, cut dough into 10 3/4-inch-wide strips. To form the
lattice, put 5 strips horizontally across the top of the tart at 1-inch
intervals. Working carefully, weave 5 vertical strips over and under the
horizontal strips, taking care not to break the strips as you work. Trim
and flute the edge. Brush the pastry with egg. Sprinkle walnuts in the
spaces between the latticework and dust the top of the pie with the
remaining tablespoon granulated sugar. Adjust oven rack to middle position
and heat oven to 425�F. Put the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake
15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350�F and bake until crust is golden and
filling is bubbling, about 35 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

Baklava
Recipe By :Trudi Barnes

Categories : Dessert International
Pastry

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 pounds filo dough
8 cups shelled walnuts
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
SYRUP
3 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
1 piece orange peel
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice -- from 1/2 lemon
Preheat oven to 325�F. Combine nuts and spices in bowl.
Melt butter and add oil. Keep warm while brushing filo. Brush bottom of
pan with butter. Place 1 filo in pan, brush with butter and add another
filo, continue until there are 4 layers of filo in bottom of pan.
Brush with butter and sprinkle 1/4 pastry with nut mixture. Allow 2 pastry
layers between nut filling; butter between each sheet of filo. Repeat
until all nut mixture is used. End with 3 top layers of filo. Cut before
baking with a sharp knife. Cut lengthways first and then cut diagonally to
make diamond shapes. (Pour any extra butter/oil mixture over top.) Bake
for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
To make syrup: Cover and boil to approximately 220�F the sugar, water,
cinnamon stick and orange peel. Then add honey, light corn syrup and the
lemon juice to the sugar/water mixture. Bring to a boil, cool and pour
over hot Baklava. I usually make the syrup while the Baklava is cooking
and then pour it over the Baklava as soon as I remove it from the oven.

1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups semolina flour
2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream -- optional

Best Pie Pastry
Recipe By :
Categories : Pie

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 tablespoons butter -- chilled
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/4 cup cold water -- or more if needed
PREPARATION:
Cut the chilled butter into small pieces.
If making the dough by hand, combine flour and salt in bowl. Cut butter
and shortening into dry ingredients with a pastry blender or work quickly
with fingertips until mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-sized
pieces remaining. Add 1/4 cup cold water, tossing with a fork. If needed,
add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough just holds together.
If using a food processor, put flour, salt, butter, and shortening into
the bowl and process with the steel blade until mixture resembles a coarse
meal. Continue processing, gradually adding water, until dough forms a
ball. Divide the dough in half if making 2 single-crust pies or so that
one piece is slightly larger than the other for a double-crust pie. Form 2
discs. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 20 minutes.
Pie pastry dough can be made a day ahead but should be softened at room
temperature until workable before rolling.

Bolillos - Crusty Rolls


-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening -- melted and cooled
1/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Preheat oven to 375�F. Sprinkle yeast over the warm water in a large bowl.
Let stand 5 minutes. Stir honey, shortening and salt into yeast mixture.
Add half the measure of flour. Mix at low speed until very elastic; about
5 minutes. Gradually stir in as much of the remaining flour as needed to
make a soft dough. Knead dough on a floured surface until the dough is
smooth and elastic, adding only as much of the remaining flour needed to
prevent sticking as you knead.
Place the dough in a greased bowl. Turn dough over to grease top. Let the
dough rise, covered and in a warm place, until doubled; about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Knead briefly on a floured surface. Let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 10 equal pieces (or number of servings per recipe made).
Roll each piece into a ball on the floured surface with the palm of the
hand.
Starting at the center and working toward opposite ends, roll each ball
into an oval, tapered at both ends. Each piece should be about 5-1/2
inches long and 2 inches wide at the center. Place, evenly spaced on 2
greased baking sheets. Let rise, loosely covered, for about 25 minutes or
until double in size. Meanwhile mix cold water and cornstarch in a small
sauce pan. Heat over high heat, stirring constantly, to boiling. Boil
until thick and clear; about 2 minutes.
Brush raised rolls with warm cornstarch mixture. Slash each roll
lengthwise with a razor blade to within 1/2 inch from ends, cutting about
1/2 inch deep. Bake until rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when
tapped; 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from baking sheet. Cool on wire racks.

4 cups milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins, chopped dates

1/2 cup dried fruit
Heat oven to 325�F. Slather butter on one side of each of the bread
slices. Lay them out in a buttered baking dish so the bread slices cover
both the sides and the bottom.
Beat the eggs, mix together sugar, salt and cinnamon and stir into the
eggs, then slowly incorporate the milk into this mixture until
well-blended. Add vanilla and raisins. Pour this over the bread.
If you have used large slices of bread and have some leftover, push them
down into the milk mixture until they soak up liquid, then turn them over
and push them down again to soak. Let this sit for about 15 minutes. Cover
and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue to bake for 30 more
minutes. The pudding will come out of the oven very bouffant and will
slowly fall.

Buttermilk Pie with Grapefruit
Recipe By :
Categories : Dessert Pie

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

6 tablespoons white flour
6 eggs
3 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
6 grapefruits
1 cup apricot preserves or apricot jam
PREPARATION: Make the Best Pie Pastry recipe.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out half the dough to measure
slightly larger than a 9-inch pie pan and line pan with dough. Flute or
crimp edges. Repeat with the second half. Chill prepared pie shells at
least 20 minutes or even overnight.
Heat oven to 450�F. Press a double thickness of aluminum foil against the
dough to hold it in place. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce
heat to 375�F, remove foil, and bake until beginning to brown, about 10
minutes more.
Combine sugar and flour. Melt the butter, in a bowl, whisk together
butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and red wine vinegar. Mix into flour
mixture. Reduce oven heat to 350�F. Pour filling into the pie shells and
bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes
out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool.
With a sharp paring knife, peel the grapefruits, cutting right down to the
flesh to remove all the white pith. Cut sections away from grapefruit
membrane.
Heat the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over
low heat until dissolved; strain if using preserves.
Arrange grapefruit sections on top of pie and brush with apricot glaze.
Pie can be prepared several hours ahead.

NOTES : Chef Kelly Mills, of the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco,
Calif., avoids processed sugars, using alternative sweeteners
whenever he can. His high-fiber muffins are naturally sweetened
with carrots and raisins, as well as with fructose. And he simmers
apples in spice-infused apple juice to sweeten his fresh apple
butter. Fructose or fruit sugar can be found in most grocery
stores and health food markets. You can substitute 6 tablespoons
sugar for the fructose in this recipe, if you wish.

Chocolate Souffl� Roll
Recipe By :
International

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 eggs
2 tablespoons cognac or water
1 tablespoon cognac (optional) for whipping cream
Salt
1 cup heavy cream
Powdered sugar-for garnish
1/2 pint raspberries - (optional)
PREPARATION: Heat oven to 350�F. Butter and line a 10- by 15-inch

jelly-roll pan with waxed paper. Separate eggs.
Cut the chocolate into small pieces and combine butter and 2 tablespoons
of the cognac in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of
water to a simmer over low heat. Remove pan from heat. Set the bowl of
chocolate over hot water and stir until mixture is smooth. Remove bowl
from hot water and add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly.
Set aside.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they just begin to hold
soft peaks. Add the sugar in a slow stream and continue beating until
stiff. Gently stir about 1/4 of the egg-white mixture into the chocolate
mixture, and fold in remainder.
Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top with a metal spatula. Bake
until firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.
Run a small, sharp knife along the edge of cake to loosen it. Slide cake
onto work surface and let cool about 20 minutes.
Slide a cookie sheet under the cake layer and cover cake with a sheet of
waxed paper. Set another cookie sheet on top and carefully invert the
cake. Lift off top pan. Peel off the paper and replace with a clean sheet.
Put the cookie sheet back on top and invert the cake again. Remove top
cookie sheet and paper.
Combine the cream and remaining tablespoon cognac and whip until stiff.
Spread the cream over the cake.
To roll the cake, pick up the long edge of the paper with both hands and
ease the cake into a curve. Still holding the paper, simultaneously lift
and roll the cake directly onto a serving platter, seam inside down. Trim
edges. Put the confectioners' sugar into a sieve and dust over roll.
SERVING: Garnish with raspberries, if desired.
Recipe can be made and refrigerated, covered, several hours ahead.

Chocolate-Orange Cake
Recipe By :
Categories : Cake International

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CHOCOLATE GENOISE
Butter -- softened for pan
1/3 cup cake flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons cocoa
4 eggs
Salt
ORANGE SYRUP
3 tablespoons orange liqueur
OR
3 tablespoons orange juice
ORANGE FILLING
1/3 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
OR
2 tablespoons orange juice
WHIPPING GANACHE FILLING

1 cup heavy cream
Candied Orange Zest -- see recipe
PREPARATION: Prepare the Candied Orange Zest (see recipe).
For the g�noise, adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 350�F.
Butter a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan and line the bottom with
buttered parchment or waxed paper. Sift the cake flour with the
cornstarch, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a simmer over low heat.

Combine eggs and pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large
bowl. Whisk in the sugar. Put the bowl over the pan of simmering water and
continue whisking until mixture is warm, about 110 degrees F. Using the
whisk attachment of the mixer, whip egg mixture on high speed until cool,
lightened in color, and risen in volume, about 5 minutes. If using a hand
mixer, whip mixture on high speed, about 8 minutes. Fold the dry
ingredients into the egg mixture in 3 batches.
Pour batter into the cake pan. To help cake rise evenly, tilt pan in a
circular motion so that batter reaches the rim and then level batter by
rapping pan once against work surface. Bake until cake is firm to the
touch and edges begin to pull away from side of the pan, about 35 minutes.
Run a small, sharp knife along the edge of cake to loosen it. Invert cake
layer on a wire rack. Leaving paper on the bottom, turn the layer over and
let it cool completely.
For the syrup, in a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup water and sugar to a
boil over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is
dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Stir in the liqueur or juice.
For the orange filling, in small bowl, stir together the marmalade and
liqueur or juice.
For the Ganache filling, chop chocolate into small pieces. In a large
saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate.
Let the mixture stand for 2 minutes, and then whisk until smooth. Cool
ganache at room temperature until thick and set. Store in a cool place,
but do not refrigerate.
G�noise, syrup, orange, and ganache fillings can be prepared to this point
1 day before assembly. Wrap g�noise in aluminum foil; cover ganache
loosely; set aside at room temperature.
For the ganache glaze, chop chocolate into small pieces. In a saucepan,
bring cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate. Let
mixture stand for 2 minutes, and then whisk until smooth. Ganache glaze
can be made 2 hours ahead. Do not refrigerate.
ASSEMBLY: Split g�noise horizontally into 3 equal layers. Put 1 layer on a

9-inch springform bottom or a 9-inch cardboard disk. Using a pastry brush,
moisten layer with 1/3 of the syrup. Spread with 1/2 of the orange filling
and then with 1/4 of the whipped ganache. Put a second layer of g�noise on
top of the ganache and moisten with 1/3 of the syrup. Spread with the
remaining orange and then with 1/4 of the ganache. Put the last layer of
g�noise on top of the cake and moisten with remaining syrup. Spread the
top and sides of cake thinly with another 1/4 of the whipped ganache,
reserving the remainder for decoration. Refrigerate cake at least 30
minutes, or until whipped ganache becomes firm.
Put cake on a rack over a jelly-roll pan to catch drippings. Pour cool
ganache glaze over the cake, allowing the glaze to drip down the sides.
Smooth with a metal spatula. Refrigerate until glaze has set, at least 30
minutes.
Put the remaining whipped ganache in the top a pastry bag fitted with
1/4-inch star tip and pipe out 12 rosettes about 1 inch apart around the
top perimeter of the cake. Decorate with candied orange peel.
Cake can be assembled and refrigerated, unwrapped, overnight.

NOTES : This cake explores the possibilities of different chocolate

textures and appearances in the same dessert.
The best chocolate is not defined by price and gourmet labeling

but by beans and production. In Cook's Magazine research,
Callebaut, Lindt, and Valrhona were best for baking but in baking,
flavor is not as critical. When chocolate dominates, as in a
ganache, Valrhona was preferred. Baker's and Ghirardelli did not
offer as much intensity.

1/2 pound bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons strong coffee
1/4 pound butter -- cut into pieces
3 egg whites
2 teaspoons lukewarm water
6 ounces pecans -- shelled halves
1 cup light brown sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup (to 1/3) heavy cream
2 tablespoons dark rum
Preheat oven to 350�.
CRUST: Insert metal blade in dry processor container. Process chocolate

cookie wafers with sugar to fine crumb consistency. With machine running,

chocolate is ground to small bead consistency. Add egg yolks.
Heat coffee, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir
until sugar dissolves. Heat to simmering. With machine running, pour hot
butter mixture through food chute in a thin stream. Stop to clean
container side with a spatula and process 5 seconds longer. Transfer to a
mixing bowl.
Wash and dry processor container and blade. Mix egg whites with water and
process, drizzling whites through food chute. Process until whites are
whipped to firm peaks, usually 1 1/2 minutes. Fold whites into chocolate
mixture and refrigerate until partially set.
Dry processor container and blade with paper toweling.
CARAMEL MIXTURE: Very coarsely chop 4 ounces (about 1 cup) of pecans using
one-second pulses; set aside and set remaining whole pecans aside.
Heat sugar, salt and butter, stirring until dissolved. Add cream and rum.
Heat to boiling and simmer until caramel thickens to a consistency that
coats the back of a spoon. Transfer half of the caramel to a small
saucepan; set aside. Add chopped pecans to caramel remaining in pan, stir
and immediately pour onto bottom of crumb crust, carefully spreading into
an even layer. Refrigerate until caramel sets.
ASSEMBLY: Spoon chocolate mousse on caramel-nut layer. Spread top of

mousse smooth. Refrigerate until firmly set.
Reheat remaining caramel over low heat (add 2 tablespoons cream to mixture
to thin, if necessary). Place pecan halves in a decorative design on top
of mousse. When caramel has cooled slightly, pour evenly over top of tart
and distribute evenly with a pastry brush. Refrigerate until caramel
becomes firm, about 2 hours. Cut with a hot knife.

Focaccia with "Saut�ed" Rosemary
Recipe By :

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
FOR THE SPONGE
2 cups all-purpose flour and
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 ounce compressed yeast
OR
1 1/2 cups lukewarm or hot water -- depending on the yeast
Pinch salt
FOR THE DOUGH

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary (or salt preserved)
3 tablespoons dried rosemary -- blanched
OR
3 tablespoon fresh sage (or salt preserved)
2 cups white flour
1/4 cup lukewarm water
Salt
Fresh-ground black pepper
TO BAKE THE FOCACCIA

7 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt
Prepare the sponge: Place the 2 cups of flour in a large bowl and make a
well in the center. Dissolve the yeast in the water, then pour it into the
well along with the salt. Use a wooden spoon to incorporate the flour,
little by little, until it is all used. Sprinkle on the remaining
tablespoon of flour, cover the bowl with a cotton dish towel and let rest,
in a warm place away from drafts, until the sponge has doubled in size,
about 1 hour. (Two signs that the sponge has doubled in size are the
disappearance of the tablespoon of flour or the formation of large cracks
on top.)
Heat the oil in a small saucepan over low heat and when the oil is warm,
remove the pan from the heat and add the rosemary.
Spread out the 2 cups of flour on a board and place the sponge in it. Make
a well in the sponge, then pour in the oil with the rosemary, water and
salt and pepper to taste. First mix all the ingredients in the well
together, then start incorporating the flour, little by little, until a
ball of dough is formed. Knead the dough in a folding motion, until all
the flour is incorporated and the dough is elastic and smooth.
Use 4 tablespoons of the oil to grease a 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll

pan. Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into a rectangle that is the
same size as the pan. Place the dough in the pan, spreading it out to
reach the sides if necessary. Drip the remaining olive oil all over, then
sprinkle on coarse salt to taste. Prick the dough all over with a fork,
then cover the pan with plastic wrap and a cotton towel, and let rest, in
a warm place away from drafts, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. When the dough is ready, bake it for 30
minutes. Remove the focaccia from the oven and sprinkle with more coarse
salt and olive oil. Cut into squares and serve hot.

Golden Sugar-Crusted Baked Apples
Recipe By :

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup halved walnuts (2 ounces)
1/4 cup raisins
4 apples, baking type (about 2 pounds)
1 lemon
4 small cinnamon sticks
3/4 cup apple juice
1 cup heavy cream (optional)
PREPARATION: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375�F.
Put the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in the workbowl of a food processor
fitted with the metal blade and process until nuts are ground. Transfer
nut mixture to a small bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt 4
tablespoons of the butter and set aside. Cut the remaining butter into
1/4-inch cubes and put in a small bowl with the brown sugar. Mix with a
fork until well blended. Stir in raisins and set aside.
Use a paring knife to remove the core of each apple in one rectangular
piece. Remove the top two-thirds of the peel. Halve the lemon. Rub the
tops and sides of the apples with lemon juice and squeeze juice into the
cored centers. Brush the apples with the melted butter and press the
walnut mixture evenly over the tops and peeled sides of the apples.
COOKING: Transfer apples to a shallow 8-inch baking dish and fill the
centers with the brown sugar-raisin mixture. Place a cinnamon stick in the
center of each apple and drizzle with remaining melted butter. Pour the
apple juice into the dish and bake until the apples are tender, 50 to 60
minutes. Cool 15 minutes on a rack.
SERVING: Serve warm or at room temperature in shallow bowls accompanied by

the pan juices, and heavy cream, if desired.

this baked apple its distinction is the paucity of outside peel.

instead.

Grandmother's Mile-High Pie
Recipe By :
Categories : Pie

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
PIE PASTRY
1/4 pound butter -- chilled
2 cups white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening -- chilled
5 tablespoons cold water
PIE FILLING
5 large Granny Smith apple - 2 1/2 lbs - or any
variety good for pie
1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons white flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
PREPARATION: For the pastry, cut the chilled butter into 1/4-inch pieces.
To make dough by hand, put the flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
Cut butter and shortening into dry ingredients with a pastry blender, or
work quickly with fingertips until mixture resembles a coarse meal with
some pea-sized pieces remaining. Add 1/4 cup cold water, tossing with a
fork. Add 1 more tablespoon water, if necessary, so that the dough just
holds together. Or, put flour, salt, sugar, butter, and shortening into
the workbowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse
until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add water and pulse until dough
holds together. Divide the dough into two discs, one slightly larger than
the other. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 20 minutes. (Can wrap
and refrigerate overnight, or freeze up to 1 month.)
For the filling, peel, core, and slice the apples over a large bowl. Grate
the zest from the lemon into the bowl and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon
juice. Sprinkle the apples with the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg,
vanilla, and salt and toss to combine.
COOKING: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425�F. In a
small bowl, beat the egg lightly. On a lightly floured work surface, roll
out the larger disc of dough to an 11-inch round and ease it into a 9-inch
pie pan. Pile the apple filling into the pie shell and dot with butter.
Roll out the remaining dough and put it over the apples. Seal, trim, and
flute the crust. Cut decorative slashes in the top pastry and brush with
the beaten egg.
Transfer pie to a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce
heat to 350�F and continue baking until pie crust is golden and apples are
tender, about 50 minutes. (Can cool, cover, and refrigerate pie up to 3
days. Reheat for 20 minutes in a 300�F oven.)

Honey Walnut Tart
Recipe By :
Categories : Pie

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
SWEET PASTRY
3 cups white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks
HONEY WALNUT FILLING

2 cups walnuts
6 eggs
1 cup honey
2/3 cup corn syrup
PREPARATION: For the pastry, cut the chilled butter into small pieces.
If making the dough by hand, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut
butter into dry ingredients with a pastry blender or work quickly with
your fingertips until mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-size
pieces remaining. Work in the egg yolks and add up to 2 tablespoons of
water if necessary to hold dough together.
If using a food processor, put flour, salt, sugar and butter into the bowl
and process with the steel blade attachment until mixture resembles a
coarse meal with some pea-size pieces remaining. Continue processing,
gradually adding egg yolks and up to 3 tablespoons of water, until dough
forms a ball.
Divide the dough in half and press into two discs. Wrap in plastic and
chill at least 20 minutes before rolling. It can be refrigerated for a
couple of days, but should be softened at room temperature before rolling.
Roll out one disc of dough to measure slightly larger than a 10-inch tart
pan and line pan with dough. Gently press the dough on the bottom of the
pan toward the middle. Press the dough around the sides down so that just
a fraction of an inch extends. Roll the rolling pin across the top to cut
off excess dough. Repeat the same procedure with the second disc of dough.
Chill at least 20 minutes or even overnight.
Heat oven to 425�F. Press a double thickness of aluminum foil against the
pastry to hold it in place. Bake in preheated oven until pastry begins to
brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350�F, remove the foil, and
continue to bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
For the filling, break walnuts into pieces. In a bowl, mix together the
eggs, honey, corn syrup, rum, butter, and vanilla. Add the walnuts. Put in
prepared tart shells. Bake tarts in preheated oven until filling is puffed
and pastry is golden, about 35 minutes.
Tarts can be made several hours ahead.
SERVING: Cut into wedges and serve.

Miraculous Microwave Chocolate Cake


-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
For six servings, use an 8-inch round glass pan or the reusable plastic
one that came with Pillsbury's microwave cake mix.
In a small bowl or cup, combine the cocoa and the first measure of water.
Don't bother to stir; the cocoa won't dissolve. Microwave on High for 40
seconds. Stir until smooth; mixture will be thick. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and
salt. Mix thoroughly. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and
add the cocoa mixture, the remaining measure of water, oil, egg and
vanilla. With a spoon, mix the wet ingredients thoroughly, then blend in
the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the microwave pan and microwave on High for 5 to 6
minutes, until the cake begins to pull away from the side of the pan.
Check the cake after 5 minutes, and if it isn't pulling from the sides,
return it to the microwave for another minute. Let cool in pan. The flavor
improves if it can rest 1 hour.
This is as good as any of the packaged microwave cake mixes at a fraction

of the cost.
I use 1/3 of a can of purchased chocolate frosting. I refrigerate the rest

to use at a later date on 2 more cakes.

Pastry Cornucopia
Recipe By :
Categories : Dessert Pastry

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
PASTRY DOUGH
3/4 cup cake flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups butter (3 1/2 sticks) -- chilled
1 egg
Water -- iced
1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar -- for glaze
For the pastry dough, combine flours, salt, and 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
in a large mixing bowl. Combine butter and flour using a pastry blender or
your fingertips until pieces of butter are the size of large peas.
In a measuring cup, beat egg lightly. Add almond extract and enough ice
water to measure 1 1/4 cups. Sprinkle over flour/butter mixture. Stir and
toss gently.
Gather dough together and form 3 flattened balls. Wrap with plastic and
refrigerate at least 1 hour.
To make mold, loosely crumple eight to ten 9- by 9-inch squares of

heavy-duty aluminum foil and form into approximate shape of a cornucopia.
Tear off a sheet of regular-weight foil approximately 20 inches long and
loosely wrap it around crumpled foil to form shape of a cornucopia. Mold
should be about 12 to 14 inches long and about 5 inches high at front.
Coat form well with vegetable-oil spray. Set aside.
Lightly flour 3 baking sheets or cover with parchment paper. Remove 1 ball
of dough from refrigerator. On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough
out no more than 1/4-inch thick. Put pastry on paper. Place foil form on
pastry and cut out a base for the cornucopia, making it 1/2-inch wider
than bottom of foil form. Chill pastry base and foil form on one of the
baking sheets.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 of remaining balls of pastry

dough into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches and 1/8-inch thick. Using a
fluted pastry wheel or a small knife, cut strips of pastry l-inch wide and
place strips on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ball of
dough. Loosely cover all strips with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Remove strips and foil form from refrigerator. Brush the edge of a pastry
strip with egg wash and, beginning with the tip of the cornucopia, start
winding dough onto form in a spiral, sticking egg-washed edge to dough
above, overlapping 1/4 inch. Cover tail completely.
Brush top edge of base with egg wash. Cut pastry strips about 2 inches
longer than necessary to go around form and touch base at each side. Brush
edge with egg wash. Lay strips across top of form, overlapping each
egg-washed edge over preceding dough about 1/4 inch. Gently press bottom
of strips to base to seal and trim at base with a small, sharp knife.
Continue laying strips in the same manner until strips come to within 1
inch of front of cornucopia.
Add a foil arch or crumpled strips of foil under form for additional
support.
Brush 2 dough strips with egg wash, fold each in half lengthwise, and
press gently to seal. Loosely wind the 2 strips together to make a braid.
Brush braid and final cornucopia strip with egg wash and lay braid across
top of cornucopia, pressing gently to seal. Using a small knife, flare
front edge of horn upward to make a lip.
Make 2 more long braids as above. Brush edge of base with egg wash and lay
braids along sides, making a decorative spiral at the back if desired.
Refrigerate cornucopia while making rest of decorations.
On a lightly floured board, roll one of remaining strips between palms of

hands to make a single smooth rope of dough for the grapevine. Make small
balls of dough for grapes and cut out several grape leaves from remaining
strips. Score leaves with the back of a small knife to resemble veins.
Remove cornucopia from refrigerator and place decorations to get a rough

idea of the desired design. Remove decorations, brush them with egg wash,
and reapply, pressing gently. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cornucopia may
be made ahead to this point and refrigerated up to 2 days, or wrapped well
and frozen for 3 to 4 weeks before baking.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to 350�F and bake
until pastry is set but not browned, about 10 minutes more.
Remove from oven, brush with egg-white glaze and sprinkle cornucopia
liberally with sugar. Return to 350�F oven and bake until golden, 12 to 15
minutes more. Cover tip and front of cornucopia with small strips of foil
if these parts are over browning.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Using a long,
wide spatula, carefully lift cornucopia onto a rack and let cool for at
least 40 minutes.
Reach into cornucopia and carefully pull out crumpled foil. Use a small
pair of scissors, if necessary, to cut foil free. It is not necessary to
remove foil from tail. Gently peel mold's foil covering from inside of
cornucopia. Wrap cornucopia loosely and store in a cool, dry place (not in
refrigerator) until ready to use. Cornucopia may be baked a day before it
is to be served.
Fill cornucopia to overflowing with an assortment of nuts and fresh and

dried fruit.

Paul's Pumpkin Pie
Recipe By :Paul Rumball-Petre

Thanksgiving

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups water -- warm from the tap
2 cups cooked pumpkin -- cooked fresh in a pressure cooker
2 eggs -- well-beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 (9-inch) pie shell
To cook the pumpkin in a pressure cooker: Cut open the pumpkin (do not use
one that has been used as a jack-o-lantern, it will be dry and stringy).
Remove the stem completely, as well as the seeds. Scrape out as much of
the slimy orange strings as you can without removing any of the flesh.
Quarter the pumpkin from top to bottom. Cut each of the quarters into 2
inch slices. Cut each slice into 2 inch cubes. Place as many cubes as will
fit into the cooker (Be sure the removable false bottom is in place; this
will keep the pumpkin from burning.) Add hot tap water and cook as per
manufacturer's instructions for 15 to 20 minutes after the pressure cap
begins to jiggle. (If you have a pressure cooker with adjustable pressure,
use medium.) Lay the cooked pumpkin out to cool. As soon as it's just warm
enough to handle comfortably, carefully peel the skin off each piece.
Drain by grabbing a double handful at a time and squeezing the water out.
I like a nice dense pie, but if you like a softer pie, leave a little
water in the pumpkin. Either way you must squeeze out most of it. The
pumpkin can be used immediately or frozen at this point. I like to freeze
it in 2-cup portions so it is easy to defrost enough for just one pie. It
keeps very well frozen for seven or more months. In my house however, no
matter how much I seem to freeze, I find myself baking the last one on my
birthday in April.
Preheat oven to 350�F. Prebake the homemade pie crust partially. (I like
to add a little sugar and cinnamon to the flour before I mix the crust).
Heat the oven to 425�F.
Beat the eggs with the spices.
Beat in the sweetened condensed milk.
Add the pumpkin and mix until incorporated. (Never, Never, Never pur�e the
pumpkin.)
Batter should be somewhat liquid. Pour into partially baked pie shell.
Bake for 15 minutes and then lower heat to 350� and bake for 45 minutes or
until a knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool. Then eat it all
yourself and bake another you can share with your friends.

"The definitive recipe for a pumpkin pie made with fresh pumpkin. Chef

Other Carbohydrates
NOTES : Because of this recipe, you will come to know that pumpkin pie is
nothing unless fresh pumpkin is used; and cooking it in a pressure
cooker is the best way to get it cooked enough that the skin comes
off easily without its losing any color or flavor.
This recipe is a variation on my grandmother's, which was given to

my mother. They are Italian, so I call this an Italian pumpkin
pie.
I like it served anywhere from right out of the oven (a la mode),

to chilled and served with or without whipped cream.

NOTES : The secret: prebaking the crust.
Most traditional pumpkin pies have a soggy crust. In this version,

prebaking the pie shell before filling it remedies the problem.
For a truly spirited pumpkin pie, add up to 2 tablespoons of
either rum or brandy to the filling.

Queen of Sheba Cake
Recipe By :
Categories : Cake

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CAKE
4 ounces butter
3 eggs -- separated
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup white flour -- sifted
GLAZE
3 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter
In a small pan, melt chocolate over low heat. Cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and mix in melted, cooled chocolate. Add
egg yolks, one by one, and half of the sugar, beating well after each
addition. Mix in vanilla. Fold in ground almonds and then flour.
In another bowl, whip egg whites just until they are stiff. Add remaining
half of the sugar and beat until egg whites are glossy, about 30 seconds
more.
Stir 1/4 of the egg whites into chocolate mixture and then fold in the
rest of them. Pour mixture into a 20-cm (8-inch), buttered and floured
cake pan.
Bake until cake shrinks slightly from sides of the pan and the top springs
back when lightly pressed with a fingertip, about 30 minutes. Cool cake in
pan for a few minutes before turning it out onto a cake rack to cool
completely. At this point, cake can be stored in an airtight container for
a week.
For the glaze, a few hours before serving, melt chocolate with butter over
very low heat. Stir gently.
Put cake on a rack and spread warm glaze over its top and sides, working
quickly to finish before glaze sets.

Scones
Recipe By :Dee Bell


-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups white flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
BEAT TOGETHER:
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup yogurt
OR
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit (optional)
TOPPING MIX TOGETHER:

1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
MIX TOGETHER:
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Heat oven to 450�F. Grease a cookie sheet with butter. Sift together
flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut the cold butter in with a fork
or a pastry cutter until well mixed. Do not overwork. Add well-beaten eggs
and yolk, and vanilla. Add half the yogurt and then slowly add the rest
until it becomes a soft, but manipulatable dough and mix only until
blended. Add raisins, currants, dried cranberries or dried fruit, if
desired.
For fancy scones, turn dough out onto a floured board and knead briefly,
then roll into a 3/4-inch slab. Cut dough into 8 large diamond shapes or
triangles. Brush with egg and water mixture then sprinkle with brown sugar
and cinnamon mixture. Place on cookie sheet and bake about 15 to 20
minutes.
For the quick method: When dough is completely mixed together, scoop up a
large serving spoon of dough and hold in place on the spoon while you dip
it in the egg mixture, then the cinnamon mixture. Place on cookie sheet
and bake about 15 to 20 minutes.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart
Recipe By :
Pie

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
PASTRY
1/4 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks
Ice water -- if necessary
FILLING
1 1/4 pounds rhubarb
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kirsch-(black cherry alcohol)
GLAZE
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Red currant jelly
2 pints fresh strawberries -- hulled
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
PREPARATION: For the pastry, mix the flours, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
Cut the chilled butter into small pieces and work into dry ingredients
with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture is the consistency
of coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Work in the egg
yolks, then add up to 1/3 cup of ice water as necessary to hold dough
together. Press the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and chill
at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour before rolling.
For the filling, rinse rhubarb, discard leaves, trim stalks, and cut into
1/2-inch pieces. Combine the rhubarb and brown sugar in a heavy saucepan.
Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Uncover, increase heat to medium, and continue cooking, stirring
frequently to prevent scorching, until mixture is almost a pur�e but
pieces of rhubarb still remain, about 10 minutes longer. Remove pan from
heat. Stir in kirsch and cool. Recipe can be made to this point, covered
and refrigerated in an airtight container, several days ahead.
On a floured work surface, roll out pastry to a 14-inch circle. Transfer

dough to a 12-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Gently press
the dough onto bottom and sides of pan. Trim dough evenly with top of pan.
Pierce bottom of tart dough gently with a fork and freeze 10 minutes. Tart
shell can be prepared to this point one day ahead and frozen.
Line tart shell with buttered aluminum foil, shiny side down, and fill
with dry beans or pie weights. Heat oven to 375�F. Bake tart shell for 10
minutes. Lower the temperature to 350�F and continue baking for 10
minutes. Remove foil and beans and return shell to oven until dough is dry
and lightly browned, about 10 minutes longer.
For the glaze, combine the jam and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan.
Over low heat stir until the jam is liquid. Fill the baked shell with the
rhubarb filling and smooth the top. Arrange the strawberries on top of the
rhubarb and brush with the strawberry glaze. Tart can be assembled 2 hours
ahead. Whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla. Cream can be whipped up
to 1 hour ahead and refrigerated.
SERVING: Remove the ring to unmold the tart. Slice and serve tart with
dollops of whipped cream.

Strudel Dough
Recipe By :
Dessert

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 whole phyllo dough sheets, 16 by 11 inches
TO PREPARE: On a work surface that is lined with a towel, place one sheet
of phyllo, with its short edge toward you; brush with a portion of the
melted butter. Place a second sheet of phyllo atop the first sheet and,
again, brush with some of the melted butter.
Use scissors to halve this phyllo sheet, lengthwise, to form two 16- by 5
1/2-inch phyllo rectangles. Position the short edge of each rectangle
toward you. Leaving a 1-inch border along the left, right, and bottom
edges, spoon about 1/2 cup filling into a mound along the bottom edge of
each rectangle.
Form two 3 1/2-inch long phyllo cylinders. Transfer each phyllo cylinder
to a baking sheet lined with buttered aluminum foil, spacing them 1 1/2
inches apart. Repeat this procedure with remaining phyllo sheets to form 6
more phyllo cylinders. Bake the miniature pastries at 375�F for 30
minutes. This recipe makes 8 individual strudels.

Recipe By :
Categories : Christmas Pie
Thanksgiving

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
MINCEMEAT
1 lemon
1 orange
1/4 pound beef suet
2 ounces almonds -- 1/2 cup chopped
2 ounces pecans -- 2/3 cup chopped
2 ounces walnuts -- 2/3 cup chopped
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup golden raisins
1 cup currants
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon ground mace
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice

1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup bourbon
1 pound apples -- about 4
PASTRY
Best Pie Pastry -- see recipe
1 tablespoon butter
SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM

3/4 cup heavy cream
PREPARATION: For the mincemeat, grate zest from the lemon and orange into
a large bowl. Squeeze in the juice from each. Chop the beef suet, almonds,
pecans, and walnuts and put into the bowl. Add raisins, currants,
molasses, brown sugar, spices, salt, and liquors. Peel, core, and chop the
apples. Add apples to the mixture.
Put the mincemeat in a covered container in the refrigerator for at least

2 days. For best results, store for at least a week. Mincemeat can be made
several months ahead.
Make the Best Pie Pastry.
Heat oven to 425�F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the larger
disc of dough and fit pastry into 9-inch pie pan. Put the mincemeat into
the pie shell. Cut the tablespoon of butter into pieces and dot the top of
the mincemeat.
Roll out the remaining dough. With a sharp knife or a serrated pastry
wheel, cut rolled-out pastry into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange half of
the strips on top of the pie, twisting each gently. Add the remaining
strips across the first strips to form a lattice. Trim off excess dough
and flute or crimp edges.
Bake pie in oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350�F and continue to bake
until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Pie
can be baked several hours before serving.
For the Sweetened Whipped Cream, put the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla
in a bowl and whip until the cream holds soft peaks. Cream can be whipped
an hour ahead.
SERVING: Serve warm or at room temperature with a big dollop of whipped

cream on each slice.
Prep Time: More than a day

NOTES : You may want to make this mincemeat in a larger quantity. Stored
in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, it keeps for
several months. Since the mincemeat improves with age, make it at
least a week ahead for a superb pie filling. Add a few tablespoons
of each of the alcohol flavorings if the mincemeat seems dry.

Recipe By :

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
9 ounces walnuts, ground fine -- 2 1/2 cups
TO PREPARE: Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan; set aside.
Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in next 5 ingredients, then
gradually beat in walnuts and flour.
TO COOK: Adjust oven rack to top-middle position and heat oven to 350�F.

until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean,
about 45 minutes. Transfer cake in pan to a wire rack; cool for 10
minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it. Remove cake
from pan and place it, rounded side up, on a cake plate. Cool cake
completely. (Can be wrapped and stored at room temperature up to 4 days.)

NOTES : With its cookie-like, dense, crumbly texture, this cake is meant
to be eaten plain. If you want to dress it up, however, you can
slice it in half, crosswise, into two layers and fill it with
berry preserves. Either way, it makes a perfect accompaniment to
the Peaches and Raspberries in Marsala and White Wine recipe (see
recipe in the Fabulous and Flavorful cookbook).

5 eggs
5 egg whites
1 1/2 cups blanched, whole almonds
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup white flour
PREPARATION: Bring 5 whole eggs to room temperature or warm eggs in hot

water. Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Melt the 3 tablespoons
butter in a small pan and set aside to cool.
Heat oven to 325�F. Spread almonds in a shallow baking pan and toast,
stirring once or twice, until browned, about 10 minutes. Cool and chop.
Heat oven to 400�F. Put confectioners' sugar and almonds into the bowl of
a food processor and grind to a powder. Transfer to the bowl of an
electric mixer, add the 5 whole eggs, and blend well on high speed until

the cooled melted butter. Fold in the flour. Beat the 5 egg whites with
the granulated sugar until stiff and then fold, 1/3 at a time, into the
batter.
Pour batter into cake pans. Bake cakes in preheated oven until a knife
inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cakes can be
made a day ahead, or they can be frozen. Reheat cakes in foil before
serving.

Whole-Wheat Bubble Loaf
Recipe By :
Categories : Bread

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup milk -- warmed
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup (to 1 3/4 cup) unbleached white flour
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Mix the first three ingredients together in a bowl or large measuring cup.
Set aside in a warm, draft-free place until the yeast proofs (starts to
billow foam).
Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter just warm enough to melt the butter
and set aside. Sift together the initial unbleached flour and salt.
When the yeast mixture has proofed, mix it together with the milk and
butter mixture and the sifted flour until smooth. Stir in the whole wheat
flour, then enough unbleached to make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth (5
to 10 minutes). Place in a buttered bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm,
draftless place until double, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Break off walnut-size pieces and make a layer of them in a casserole. Melt
the remaining butter and drizzle part of it over the top of the loaf, then
sprinkle with sesame seeds (apportioning both for subsequent layers).
Repeat with more pieces and layers. Cover and let rise in your trusty
warm, draft-free place until double in size.
Heat the oven to 400�F, insert loaf, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until
the loaf sounds hollow when rapped lightly with the knuckles. Let cool for
5 minutes, then remove from pan. Serve warm with good butter and try not
to think about calories or cholesterol.
