Title: Psomi’: Greek homemeade white bread
Categories: Breads, Yeast, Ethnic
Yield: 5 loaves

5 lb Flour, + or – if needed
3 Yeast cakes
1 c Warm water
1/2 lb Margarine softened
1 c Oil
1 c Milk, more if necessary
1 ts Salt
1/2 c Sugar
1 ts Cinnamon
3 Or 4 eggs ( optional
Egg wash: 1 egg/1 Tbs. milk
Increase if needeed

As you can see by previous Greek bread recipes, the
Greek Housewives made plenty of bread. These recipes
are directly from Greece and are in fairly large
quantity.However this and other bread recipes can
easily be halved for the smaller hosehold. All yeast
breads freeze well too.

Crumble yeast in the warm water and let dissolve. Beat
the margarine until light and mix into the flour and
yeast mixture. Then stir in the oil, sugar, salt,
cinnamon, eggs if using ( a lighter baked good ) and
the milk, adding “ more if needed” to produce a
kneadable nonsticky dough. Knead smooth and elastic.
Cover in a large bowl and let rise double. Punch down
and let rise double again. Shape into 5 loaves and
place in pans. Beat egg and milk together and brush
loaves. Slash top of each bread. Bake 400 for 15
minutes and then 375 for 30 to 40 minutes or until
golden and done. Recipe can be halved easily.

Title: OUR LEMON PIE
Categories: Diabetic, Desserts, Pies
Yield: 8 servings

3 tb Margarine;
10 Graham cracker squares;
1/2 c Skimmed evaporated milk;
-cold
1 pk Dream Whip;
27 pk Equal sweetener;
2 Egg yolks;
2 lg Lemons; 1/2 cup juice
3 Egg whites;
3 tb Sugar;

Melt margarine on medium to low heat. Roll graham
crackers into crumbs with rolling pin. Mix crumbs and
melted margarine. Pat to make crust on bottom and
sides of pie pan. Chill.

Add cold evaporated milk to Dream Whip (do not add
vanilla). Sprinkle in 24 pkg. Equal. Mix and beat
according to directions. Beat egg yolks slightly, and
gradually stir in lemon juice. Gradually fold in the
whipped Dream Whip. Spread in pie crust. Turn on
broiler so it will get hot. Beat 3 egg whites frothy
(use clean beaters so whites will beat up as fluffy as
possible). Add 1 tbs. sugar and beat until blended
in. Add another tbs. sugar and 3 Equal pkg. and beat
until soft peaks form. Spread meringue over top.
Spread meringue to stick to the edges so it won’t
shrink when you broil it.

Put under broiler for 30-60 seconds until meringue is
lightly browned. IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG AT ALL AND IS
EASY TO BURN. The flavors will blend better if you
chill for 5 hours.
