For the crust:

• 250 gr. honey
• 200 gr. sugar
• 400 gr. flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 250 oz. Beer

Filling:

• 300 gr. cooked ground wheat

• 350 gr. sugar
• 300 oz. water
• 2 sachets vanilla
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions:

• Mix the flour, sugar, honey, baking soda along with the beer using wooden spoon – you’ll get unusual dough which will be easy for pouring into the pan previously covered with baking paper. Flatten with spatula and put it in preheated oven at 200°C for 20 minutes, be careful not to overcook it.  Leave the crust to cool and cut it into 3 or 4 rectangular pieces.

Preparing the Filling 

• Cook the wheat, drain it well and grind it to a machine for grinding meat. Put the sugar in pot with boiling water, leave it to boil until it dissolves completely, add the grinded wheat and continue cooking for a short time, in the end add the vanilla sugar, chopped walnuts, nutmeg, you can also add spices of your choice.
• Smear the crusts with the filling while it is still warm, arrange the crusts one over another. Sprinkle with grinded walnuts.
• This cake should stay overnight before serving.

Note: You can make this cake in any shape you want.

• If you have more filling the crusts shouldn’t be too thick. In the original recipe the amount of wheat is 150 gr I added more than that and the next time I will add even more. You can add any spice you want in the wheat, it all depends of your taste and creativity.

Rye Crackers recipe

I once tried these little troublemakers and immediately liked them.

These rye crackers are a great alternative to the ready-made cracker snacks you can buy in the supermarket. Rye crackers are packed up in separated bags with cheddar, lettuce and tomato. Simply assemble when you’re ready for lunch or a snack.

These rye crackers are not only wholesome and nutritious; they are also high in fiber and taste fantastic. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings. They are perfect when served with a selection of cheeses.

This recipe shows you how to turn ordinary crackers, into a delectable party snack. Crackers are coated in a spice mixture. Serve as a snack or with chili con carne. These cheap and easy to make crackers are great to eat with homemade dips, pate and hummus.

Ingredients:

• 100 grams flour
• 100 grams rye flour
• 60 grams sesame seeds
• 60 grams grated parmesan cheese
• 80 ml milk
• 60 ml cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Method of preparation:

Step 1: Preparing the dough. Mix the flour with baking powder and salt. Add the rest ingredients for the dough and knead compact dough. Wrap the prepared dough in transparent foil and leave it in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Forming rectangular shape. Divide dough in two equal parts and shape each one in rectangular shape. Again, wrap it in transparent foil and leave it in refrigerator to indurate.

Step 3: Cutting the dough. When dough is indurate enough cut it into slices, the slices should not be too thick.

Step 4: Baking the crackers. Cover baking pan with paper, dispose the crackers and bake them at 180°C for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 5: When the crackers are baked, transfer them in bowl with cover. Although they  may seem firm they will become softer and tastier.  Enjoy!

Step 6: It’s that time again… We need you to visit http://www.crunchbase.com/company/zomicks-kosher-bakery and like this bakery. Thank you!

Parmesan and Potato Muffins for Shavuot

Before Shavuot, I tried out a recipe for potato muffins that my mother found in a local newspaper. Every now and again she shoves a recipe cutting at me to try out (she has a good eye…). So I decided to give these a go due to the fact that with we had nothing on the menu for dinner last night. As with all new kosher recipes I try for the first time, I  tend to be critical and I always  look to see how to improve them. But as my family was devouring them rapidly, I realized that this recipe works very well as is and as hard as I tried, I couldn’t find too much to change because the original recipe had everything needed to make such a sophisticate flavor an taste at the same time.

I always prefer the combination of fresh herbs that give the muffins flavor that is perfectly aromatic. You can add the herbs you prefer and those that are your favorite and you can increase the quantities as well, it all depends of the flavor you want to achieve. I tried to maintain a balance so the kids wouldn’t turn up their noses.

Serve these warm out of the oven in order to get the best results.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sized potatoes peeled and cut into small 1cm cubes
• 2 finely diced large onions
• 4-5 crushed cloves of garlic
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• About 2 tablespoons each of fresh chopped parsley and rosemary
• 4 beaten large eggs
• 250 grams sour cream (one container)
• 150 grams softened butter
• 200 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 1¾ cups self raising flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. In salted water, boil the cubed potatoes until they become soft, drain and allow to cool down.
2. Saute the onions in the olive oil until just golden brown. Add the garlic and saute for about a minute. Remove the mixture from the heat.
3. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C
4. In a medium size bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, garlic and the rest of the ingredients.
5. Fill your muffin cups to ¾ full. They will not even out in the oven, so you can smooth them out if you are concerned about appearances.
6. 6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins start getting golden brown on top.
7. Optional: Grate extra cheese and sprinkle it over the muffins as soon as they come out of the oven.
8. Serve the muffins while they are still warm. This amount of the recipe makes about 18-20 muffins.
