Swedish Rye Bread

Ingrients & Directions


SWEDISH RYE BREAD BREAD-RYE – A sweet, dark
================= Whole-grain rye bread

This recipe comes from my great-grandmother, who emigrated from
Sweden and brought this recipe with her. It makes a sweet, dark
bread, and (like most whole-grain breads) it tends to be a bit heavy.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 3 loaves)

2 c milk 1 c water 1/2 c brown sugar 1/2 oz dry yeast (two packages)
6 c rye flour (approximate) 3 c white flour (approximate) 1/2 c
granulated sugar 1/2 c vegetable oil 1/4 c dark molasses 2 ts anise
seeds, crushed 1 ts salt

(1) Scald the milk and combine it with the water and brown sugarin a
very large bowl. (You need something that holds at least 4 or 5
quarts.) When the mixture is lukewarm, dissolve the yeast in it, then
stir in 2 cups rye flour and 1 cup white flour to make a paste.

(2) Let the mixture rise in a warm place until it is light and foamy.
This usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Check it frequently -
it can really make a mess if it rises enough to overflow the bowl.
(I’m sure they could make a 3 great horror movie about a gigantic
blob of bread dough that keeps getting bigger and bigger as it
consumes everything in its path….)

(3) Stir in the granulated sugar, oil, molasses, anise seed and salt,
and enough flour to make a stiff dough, using 2 parts rye to 1 part
white. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and
elastic, adding more flour to keepit from sticking to your hands.

(4) Clean and grease the bowl. Put the dough in the bowl, turn-g it to
grease all sides. Cover the bowl loosely with aclean towel and let
the dough rise until it’s doubled in bulk. Punch it down and let rise
until double again.

(5) Divide the dough into three loaves and put in greased pans. (I
usually make round loaves and bake them on cookie sheets.) Cover with
the towel and let rise until double again.

(6) Bake for about 45 minutes at 350 deg. F. Because of the high
sugar content, this bread can burn rather easily; watch closely so it
doesn’t get too dark.

NOTES: Rye flour can be a little hard to find these days. You may
have to visit a store that specializes in natural foods. Avoid the
kind that is very coarsely ground with big chunks of bran in it,
though; this doesn’t seem to have any gluten at all in it, and since
the proportion of rye flour is so high in this recipe, the texture of
the bread willcome out all wrong. You need something that looks more
like ordinary flour.

RATING: Difficulty: moderate. Time: 30 minutes preparation, several
hours rising, 1 hour baking and cooling. Precision: measure the
ingredients.

Old-fasioned Sourdough Starter

Ingrients & Directions


1 c Skim milk
3 tb Plain yogurt
1 c All-purpose flour

Fill a 3 to 6-cup glass, ceramic, plastic, or stainless steel container
with hot water and let stand. In a pan, heat skim melk to 90 to 100 degrees
on a thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt. Drain water from
warmed container, wipe dry, and pour in milk mixture. Cover tightly; if
using a screw-top jar with a metal lid, place a double layer of plastic
wrap over mouth of jar before screwing on lid. Let stand in a warm place.
After 18 to 24 hours, starter should be about the consistency of yogurt – a
curd forms and mixture doesn’t flow readily when container is slightly
tilted (it may also form smaller curds suspended in clear liquid). If some
clear liquid has risen to top of milk during this time, simply stir it back
in. However, if liquid has turned light pink, milk is beginning to break
down; discard and start again. After curd has formed, gradually stir the
flour into starter until smooth. Cover tightly and let stand in a warm
place (80 to 90 degrees) until mixture is full of bubbles and has a good
sour smell (2 to 5 days). If clear liquid forms during this time, stir it
back into starter. If liquid is pink, spoon out & discard all but ? cup
starter; then blend in a mixture of 1 cup each warm skim milk or low-fat
milk (90 to 100 degrees) and flour. Cover tightly and let stand again in a
warm place until bubbly and sour smelling. To store, cover and refrigerate.
Makes about 1? cups.

add this to the mixture. Finally, add the sultanas and water. Mix
thoroughly until a smooth paste is obtained.

Pour into a buttered and floured cake tin and leave to prove in a warm
place for about 1 hour.

Brush the cake with beaten egg and bake in the oven at 180 oC for
about 40 minutes .

Leave the cake to cool then wrap in aluminium foil or greaseproof

-PASTRY DOUGH-
1/2 c Unsalted butter
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 Egg yolk
1 1/4 c Cake flour

1 ts Vanilla

FINISHING
3 pt Fresh red currants

1/2 c Toasted, sliced almonds
Confectioners’ sugar

-GLAZE-
1 c Red currant jelly

FOR THE DOUGH: Beat the butter and sugar with the paddle on medium speed
until very soft and light. Beat in the vanilla and the yolk and continue
beating until smooth and shiny, about 3 more minutes. Stop the mixer, sift
the cake flour and add to the butter mixture. Pulse the mixer on and off to
incorporate the flour. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic, wrap and
chill it until firm. FOR THE PASTRY CREAM: Combine the milk and half the
sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk the yolks with the remaining sugar
and sift the flour over and whisk it in. Beat 1/3 of the boiling milk into
the yolk mixture and return the remaining milk to a boil. Beat the yolk

and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Scrape the
cream onto a clean plate, cover with plastic wrap and chill. Roll the dough
and fit it into a 10-to-11-inch tart pan. Cut a disk of parchment paper to
fit the inside of the dough and fill with dried beans. Preheat oven to
325F. Bake the tart shell about 20 minutes, until set. Remove the paper and
beans and continue baking 5 minutes more to color the pastry. Do not
over-bake. Cool the shell in the pan. Spread the cooled pastry cream on the
cooled tart shell. Arrange the currants on the pastry cream. Bring the
jelly and kirsch to a boil and strain. Reduce to thicken if necessary.

aside. Combine chocolate and coffee in small saucepan. Cook over low
heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly. Remove from
heat and cool to room temperature. Cream the butter and sugar
together in a mixing bowl, until they are light and fluffy. Use an
electric mixer set on medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating
well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and chocolate mixture. Add
dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating
well after each addition. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed
paper-lined 8-inch cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven
for 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10
minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on racks. To assemble the
cake, place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread with Cinnamon
Whipped Cream. Top with second cake layer. Frost sides and top with
remaining Cinnamon Whipped Cream. Refrigerate until serving time.
CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Chill large mixing bowl and beaters. Combine
cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat with an electric mixer
set at high speed until soft peaks form and mixture is thick enough
to spread. DO NOT overbeat or you will have butter instead of whipped
cream. NOTE: The original recipe came from a GI who found it in Egypt
when he was stationed there. Hence the name. The whipped cream
frosting was added later but really adds to the recipe.

Rice Flan Tart With Candied Ginger

Ingrients & Directions


3 c Nonfat milk Cheese
1/2 Vanilla bean, split 2 tb Finely slivered candied
1/4 c Medium-grain rice Ginger
1/2 c Sugar 1 Low-Fat Sweet Pastry
1 (8-ounce) carton frozen 1 ts Ground cinnamon
Egg substitute, thawed 1 tb Powdered sugar, optional
1/3 c Low-fat ricotta cheese or Sliced candied ginger,
Pureed fat-free cottage Optional

LOW-FAT SWEET PASTRY
1/2 c Plus 2 tablespoons oat flour 1/2 ts Ground cardamom or cinnamon
Blend 2 1/2 tb Sugar
5 tb All-purpose flour 3 ts Cold butter, diced
1/4 c Cake flour 1 tb Canola oil

2-2 1/2 tb very cold water The low-calorie rice pudding flan is so
delicious by itself that you may want to save the calories and fat in the
crust, and serve it without the pastry. Bring nonfat milk to boil in medium
saucepan. Add vanilla bean and rice. Cover partially and simmer until rice
is almost tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in
sugar and continue and continue cooking 3 minutes. Remove from heat and
cool slightly. Remove vanilla bean. Blend egg substitute with ricotta
cheese. Stir into rice mixture with candied ginger. Carefully pour into
prepared pastry shell, filling almost to the top (if there is any flan
mixture left from incomplete reduction in cooking, place in small custard
dish, cover and microwave 40 to 60 seconds or until set.) Sprinkle with 1/4
teaspoon cinnamon. Bake at 400 degrees F. 25 to 30 minutes or until set.
Remove from oven. Sift powdered sugar over and sprinkle with remaining
cinnamon. Serve warm and garnish with sliced ginger if desired. Makes 12
servings. Each serving contains about: 183 calories; 102 mg sodium; 11 mg
cholesterol; 4 grams fat; 31 grams carbohydrates; 6 grams protein; 0.25
gram fiber. The use of oat flour blend and cake flour is what gives this
low-fat crust its tenderness. It also makes it more difficult to roll, but
don’t despair: The dough is easily patched. Low-Fat Sweet Pastry Sift
flour, cardamom and sugar into large bowl. Rub in butter with fingers or
cut in with pastry blender until size of small peas. Using fork, stir in
oil. Slowly add cold water, 1 teaspoon at a time, tossing with fork until
flour is moistened without being wet. Gather dough with moist hands, shape
into flattened round and let rest about 15 minutes. Roll 1/8-inch thick on
lightly floures board. (To facilitate rolling, dough may also be rolled
between sheets of wax paper Or unrolled dough may be placed in pan and
gently pressed to cover inside of pan.) Gently lift and press onto 9-inch
square tart pan with removable bottom. Cut off dough edges. Bake at 425
degrees F. 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 12 servings. NOTE:
Unsalted butter will give a more delicate fresh flavor in this pastry. Add
a dash of salt if using.

Whoopee Pies

Ingrients & Directions


1 c Sugar
1/2 c Solid White Vegetable
-Shortening
2 c Unbleached Flour
1/2 c Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 ts Baking Soda
1 ts Salt
1 c Milk
2 ts Vanilla Extract
FILLING:
1/2 c Butter, Softened (1 Stick)
7 1/2 oz Marshmallow Creme (1 Jar)
3/4 c Confectioners’ Sugar
1/4 c Solid White Vegetable
-Shortening
1/2 ts Vanilla Extract

Yield: About 20 “Pies”

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 or 4 baking sheets and set
aside.

TO MAKE THE PIES:

Beat the sugar and shortening in the large bowl of an electric mixer until
well blended. Mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized
bowl with a wire whisk until light and thoroughly combined. (Using the wire
whisk to blend the dry ingredients, in this case, makes sifting
unnecessary.) With the electric mixer running on low speed, add the flour
mixture and milk alternately to the sugar mixture, starting and ending with
the flour mixture, beating well after each addition. beat in the vanilla.

Drop the batter by heaping measuring TBLS. 2 inches apart on the prepared
baking sheets. (The little cakes will be about 2 1/2 inches in diameter
after baking) You should have about 40 cakes. Bake for 15 minutes or until
cakes spring back when touched lightly. Remove to wire racks to cool.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:

In a large bowl, combine the butter, marshmallow creme, sugar, shortening
and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes, using an electric mixer set on high
speed, until light and fluffy.

ASSEMBLY:

Place about 1 TBS of filling on the flat sides of half the cakes. Top with
the remaining cakes and press together so that the filling squashes out the
sides a little.

NOTE:

Because of all the butter in the filling, these pies should not be held at
room temperature indefinitely. Pies that are not to be eaten soon after
baking should be wrapped in plastic film and refrigerated or frozen for
future use.
