Title: POPPY SESAME SEED STRAWS
Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 60 servings

2 tb Poppy seeds
2 tb Sesame seeds
1 lg Egg white
2 tb Olive oil
1/4 ts Salt
6 Phyllo dough sheets (14×18″

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat 2
baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with
parchment paper. Heat a small heavy skillet over
medium heat. Add the poppy and sesame seeds and cook,
stirring until they are aromatic and toasted, 2 to 3
minutes. Turn out onto a plate to cool. In a small
bowl, whisk together egg white, oil and salt.
Lay a sheet of phyllo on a work surface with a
short side toward you. With a pastry brush, lightly
coat the lower half of the sheet with the egg-white
mixture and sprinkle with 1 tsp. seeds. Fold the upper
half over to cover the lower half. Brush the right
half of the folded sheet with egg-white mixture,
sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. seeds and fold the left half
over the seeds. Brush the bottom half of the folded
sheet with the egg-white mixture, sprinkle with 1/4
tsp. seeds and fold the upper half over. Finally,
brush the top with the egg-white mixture and sprinkle
with 1/4 tsp. seeds. Cut into 10 short strips using a
knife or serrated pastry cutter. With a wide spatula,
transfer the strips to the baking sheet, placing them
about 1/2 inch apart. Repeat the procedure with the
remaining 5 sheets of phyllo, egg-white mixture and
seeds. Bake the straws for 8 to 10 minutes, until
golden and crisp. Transfer to a rack to cool.
The straws may be stored in an airtight container
at room temperature for 1 week or in the freezer for
up to 2 months.
Makes about 5 dozen straws.

Sally’s notes: Instead of stock of bouillon cubes, you can take out
1/2c soup after pureeing and dissolve a T of miso in it, then return
it to the pot and mix. Almost all the combos are good with the
addition of 1/2 an onion and a clove or two of garlic sauteed in
sherry. Other possible additions (not combined of course) include: 1T
tomato paste, 1/2c leftover beans or grains, a few dried mushrooms or
dried tomatoes, a few tablespoons of sauerkraut, a T of capers or
chopped pickle added before serving, toasted pumpkin/squash seeds or
wheat germ sprinkled on top.

WHOLE WHEAT DILL BREAD

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breadmaker

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
-JUDY GARNETT (PJXG05A)
1 pk Yeast — – or 2 1/2 tsp.
2 c Whole wheat bread flour
1 1/3 c White bread flour
1 tb Gluten
1 tb Lecithin granules
1/4 ts Baking soda
1 1/2 ts Salt — – (I use Light Salt)
1/2 Ctn eggbeaters — –
-or one egg – AT ROOM TEMP.
1/4 c -water
3/4 c Non-fat Cottage Cheese
3/4 c Plain Non-Fat Yogurt
3 tb Sugar
3 tb Onion — minced dried
2 tb Whole dill SEED
1 1/2 tb Olive oil — – or butter

Warm together the water; cottage cheese, yogurt, sugar, onion, dill
seed and oil in microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm to the
touch (about 110 deg). Set aside. Place all other ingredients above
into the bread pan in order listed. Add warmed ingredients. Select
white bread setting (other brands of B/M’s may have a whole wheat
setting), but the white bread setting works on the DAK. Set
light/dark setting on side of B/M to 11 o’clock. Press Start. Open
lid after dough has kneaded about 2 mins. Press dough lightly with
fingertip. If wet, sticky dough adheres to your fingertip OR dough is
not forming into one soft ball (NO sticky dough on bottom of pan),
add 1 Tablespoon or more flour until dough is just slightly tacky and
makes one soft ball of dough. Judy Garnett — Hope this does well
for you. I use my elec. knife to slice the bread top to bottom down
the center first. Then place the two cut sides down and slice them
thin. This makes a great sandwich bread or is good toasted with a
little diet margarine spread. Best regards, Judy Garnett 11/07 11:18
