1 cup walnuts, crushed/ground

3 cups all purpose flour

Pumpkin Filled Pastry (Kabakli Borek)

3 Turkish pastry leaves (yufka)

1 ½ cups sugar

300-350 grams pumpkin, shredded

½ cup walnuts, crushed (optional)

¼ cups milk

2-3 Tbsp canola oil

1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

 

Grease a wide oven tray and place a pastry leave covering the bottom with no overlapping. Try to make the pastry as flat as possible. If using cinnamon, mix sugar with cinnamon. Spread about half of the shredded pumpkin over the pastry and do the same with sugar. If desired add crushed walnuts for more flavor. Then, cover it with another pastry leaf making a flat layer. Continue with pumpkin, sugar and walnuts. If your tray is not large enough to accommodate all the pastry leaf, you may always tear the pastry leaf to fit the tray and use the torn parts for making another layer. Finally, cover the top with the last pastry leaf (yufka). Mix milk and canola oil and spread it all over the top evenly. Sprinkle with some sugar for a crispy top.

Bake the Pumpkin Borek in the preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for about 30-40 minutes or until the top gets light brown. Slice it into squares and serve either hot or cold.

Focaccia Bread (Baharatli Italyan Pidesi)

1 Tbsp instant dry yeast

1 cup warm water

2 Tbsp sugar

3 ½ - 4 cups flour

1 Tbsp sea salt

1 tsp dry rosemary/Mediterranean spice blend

¼ cup olive oil

Toppings:

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, minced (optional)

1-2 Tbsp shredded parmesan

¼ cup shredded Mozzarella

½ tsp sea salt

1 Tbsp rosemary

Place the lukewarm water, sugar and the yeast into a bowl. Stir gently to dissolve. Add the salt, olive oil, rosemary and flour; knead for 10 minutes, until dough becomes elastic. The more you knead the better your bread will be. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap or a clean cloth (see the picture) and let it rest for 1-2 hours in a warm place, until it rises up to double its volume (see the picture). Coat a sheet pan or baking tray with a little olive oil. Place dough on the counter and punch to release air. Roll and stretch the dough out to an oblong shape about ½ inch thick. Lay the flattened dough on the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Uncover the dough and dimple with your fingertips. Brush the surface with more olive oil and then garlic, salt, cheese and rosemary. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

After taking it out of the oven cover with a clean cloth or towel to keep the bread soft.

ENJOY

P.S: Do not use metal container when kneading or resting the dough. Metal spoils the texture of dough.
