Breads Recipes

How unadulterated can you get! I love these Greek style: stuffed with cubes of grilled chicken, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, onions, lettuce and Greek style yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. Or torn and dipped in hummus. Cooking time does not include rising time

The dough will keep five days in the refrigerator--just keep it covered and punched down. OR It can be frozen to shape after it thaws, as frozen store bought dough. OR it can be shaped into buns or a braid and frozen for up to two months. (Freeze dough completely. Then when frozen, wrap carefully and place in a freezer bag.)

Yummy breads to make quickly at home and not pay grocery store prices

I found a great easy wheat free recipe online made with blanched ground almond. This is halved and modified. Will give credit when I find where I found original.

This is a blend of flour that can be used to make gluten free baked goods that require yeast.

An old WW recipe revamped

4/2020 I have changed title somewhat for filing purposes - originally : Isabel de Dargas' Folar da Pascoa - Portuguese Easter Bread With Eggs". I have seen other PEB's on Internet that look intriguing.
The sugar is not killer sweet and I think we could later play with substituting some of the sugar for Stevia or egg substitute for eggs.
This is a very simple yet rich bread - very nice! It got bigger than I imagined. Cooked in springform pan in our smaller oven. Next time, I think I will cook it in larger oven and possibly cover the crust halfway thru if it looks as brown as we like (it didn't burn, but maybe a little overdone). Also,I need to grease pan with margarine or butter. The bread stuck on the bottom in one place and a small hole tore out - possibly parchment? I would like to read other internet recipes for this - possibly find a video. My attaching of the egg with dough needs more help - I think it was inconsistently wide enough and one piece sprang out above the bottom of the bread during the 2nd rise. Yet, the egg held in place!
So far,all the recipes from this book are good!
One more thing - wine or coffee is suggested to have with this. We got regular grape juice (since we don't drink) chilled - and it was wonderful) Imagine coffee will be just as good.
Can also be called pashkwa. Traditionally baked on Holy Saturday. "There is an old tradition [in the Azores Islands - Portuguese] that an angel appeared to Our Lady, telling her that Christ would arise on Easter. To show her happiness and joy, she baked bread to share with her friends. And to make it more special, she put an egg, a symbol of the resurrection on the top. Everybody keeps this tradition."
"Decorated with eggs and crosses, this golden sweet bread from the Azores is served with coffee or sweet wine for dessert on Easter Sunday."
