Herbed Khachapuri

By

Okay, I was supposed to post this for #TwelveLoaves yesterday. But I got my days confused. So, I'm posting today (a day late - boo!), not linking to the party. I'll still make the rounds of the bakers who did know what day they were supposed to post. Sorry, gals.

The Jewish breads event inspired me to try my hand at khachapuri, a breakfast bread served throughout Israel. I served it for dinner last night - in the backyard - with some chilled pea soup.

Ingredients
  • 1 T active dry yeast
  • 1 T organic granulated sugar
  • 1 C warm water
  • 3 C white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 C ground almonds
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 C fresh herbs, minced (I used a mixture of parsley, mint, thyme, and oregano) + more for sprinkling
  • 2 C shaved parmesan cheese
  • eggs (I used duck eggs because I was making large Khachapuri)
  • fleur de sel
  • butter for rubbing on the bread


Procedure
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let bloom until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, ground almonds, herbs, and oil. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Press dough - with floured fingers - onto baking stone into an elongated oval shape. Twist the ends to form a boat shape and sprinkle cheese into the bottom of the boat. Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.


Carefully pull the stone out of the oven. Press the cheese down with a spoon to create more of a hollow. Then crack eggs into the boat. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.

Return to oven until egg white is slightly set; because they were large duck eggs, it took about 8 to 10 minutes. To serve, rub bread with butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
