Title: Kolach (Braided Bread)
Categories: Russian, Christmas, Bread/yeast
Servings: 3

1 ts Sugar
1 c ;Water, Lukewarm
2 pk Dry Yeast
3 tb Sugar
2 c Milk; (About 110 Degrees F.)
2 lg Eggs
1 tb Salt
2 tb Oil Or Melted Butter; You
-Can Use Up To 4 Tbs
8 c Unbleached Flour; Or More
-If Needed
1 lg Egg; Beaten With
1 tb Water; For Glaze
2 tb Dry Poppy Seeds

Disolve 1 tsp sugar in the water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Add 1
Tbl of sugar, stir and let stand for 10 minutes. Combine the yeast with
the milk, lightly beaten eggs, salt, 2 tbl sugar, oil, and 3 cups of
sifted flour. Beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place
until light and bubbly, about 1 hour. Mix in enough of the remaining
flour to make a light, slightly sticky dough, then knead in the bowl
until smooth and elastic,(Remember the heavier the dough, the heavier the
bread.) and leaves the sides of the bowl easily. Or in the processor, add
the yeast mixture to the flour and then add the liquids. With the machine
running, add more flour until a ball forms. Allow to rest for several
minutes. Process until the dough is smooth and elastic. Form into a ball
and place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to oil the top. Cover
with a linen dish towl, soaked in hot water and then wrung out until damp
only, and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Punch down and
allow to rise again, slightly. Divide the dough into 3 parts. Divide 1
part into thirds, rolling each into a rope 8 to 10 inches long and 1 1/2
inches thick. Braid together, starting at the middle and turn the ends
under. Repeat with each of the remaining parts of the dough. Place the
loaves on buttered baking sheets. Do not crowd, since the loaves will
double in size. Cover with the damp towel and let rise until almost
double. Brush with the egg glaze and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake
in a preheated 375 Degrees F. oven at least 1 hour, or until golden. Test
by rapping the bottom, there should be a nice hollow sound. Cool on wire
racks until cold before cutting.

MASA BISCUITS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Quick Tex-Mex
Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 3/4 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Masa harina de maiz
2 tablespoons Plus 1 teaspoon baking — powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Stick (4 oz.) unsalted — butter, well chilled
Cut into small pieces
1/2 cup Solid vegetable shortening — well chilled
And cut into small pieces
2 cups Cultured buttermilk — chilled

Position racks in the upper and middle thirds of the oven and preheat the oven
to
450^F.

In a large bowl, stir together 3 1/2 cups of the flour, the masa, baking powde
r,
and salt. With a pastry cutter, blend in the butter and shortening until the
mixture resembles a coarse and slightly lumpy meal. Stir in the buttermilk unti
l a
soft, crumbly dough is formed. Sprinkle the work surface with half of the
remaining flour. Turn the dough out, gather it into a ball, and briefly knead i
t,
just until it holds together. Flatten the dough, sprinkle it with the rest of t
he
flour, and roll it out about 1-inch thick. With a round 3-inch cutter, form th
e
biscuits, transferring them to 2 ungreased baking sheets and spacing them about
2-inches apart. Gather the scraps into a ball, roll it out to 1-inch thick, and
cut out the remaining biscuits.

Set the baking sheets on the racks and bake about 15 minutes, exchanging the
position of the sheets on the racks from top to bottom and from front to back a
t
the halfway point, or until the biscuits are golden and crisp. Serve hot or war
m.
Makes 12.

Author’s Comments: These jumbo, Texas-size biscuits include a generous measur
e
of masa harina de maiz, the specially treated ground corn that is the basis for
tortillas, tamales, and other Southwestern staples.
Because the masa contains no gluten, these biscuits are remarkably tender, with
a
distinctive but subtle flavor like that of a corn tortilla. They’re particularl
y
good split, buttered, and topped with jalapeno jelly.
