Steamed Dumpling

It is the size of a large loaf of bread. It is sliced, just like a bread would be, and maybe 4 or 5 slices will be served with your meal. 

Adepted from Slovak cooking.

Ingredients: 500g of flour (whole wheat or all-purpose), 0.25L of milk, 1 egg, packet of yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, few teaspoons of salt.
Prep time: 3 hours (includes about 2 hours to let the dough rise)

 

Take little bit of milk, and heat it up so it’s lukewarm. Add one teaspoon of sugar and a packet of yeast. Whisk well to aerate the concoction and let sit for about 10 minutes. The yeast will rise. 

In a bowl, combine about 500g of flour, one egg , few dashes of salt, the yeast mixture and about 0.2L of room temperature milk. You don’t want the milk to be too cold, otherwise the yeast may stop working. Stir everything together, and knead for about 10 minutes. You want the dough to be smooth, and non-sticky. You should be able to remove the wooden spoon without the dough sticking to it. Simply add more flour if you need to make it less sticky. 

Cover the bowl with some kitchen cloth and let sit for about 2 hours.

Dust a wooden board with flour and form the dough into two loafs. The dumplings will approximately double in size when you cook them. Keep this in mind, if you don’t have a very large pot. Cover by a cloth, and let sit for another 20 minutes. 

Bring salted water to boil in a large pot. Make sure you have a lid for this pot.  Anyway, once the water is boiling, carefully place the dumpling in the pot. It should float. If it doesn’t, take a ladle and scoop to the top. Cover immediately. Reduce the heat so the pot doesn’t boil over, but make sure the water stays boiling. You want the steam – the dumpling actually cooks from the hot steam. So for this reason, make sure not to open the lid until done. This is very important! Otherwise, the dumpling won’t come out puffy. Cook for 18 minutes. Use a ladle, or two coffee plates to remove the dumpling. You can do that like Ľuboš did or use:

Poke the dumpling in couple places with a fork to let the steam out. Then, take a sewing thread (or a dental floss), and use it to slice the dumpling. Supposedly there are dedicated dumpling slicers, but this is so much easier! 

Or you can try mine quick and easy to make dumplings:

Ingredients: 

6 Bread Rolls - little slightly-curved mini baguettes

hot milk
2 eggs
salt 

grits

cca 6 cups
one big pot with - Make sure you have a lid for this pot.
oil

Put Bread Rolls into hot milk. Rolls must be thoroughly soaked in milk.

Add eggs, salt and grits to form a paste.  

It does not matter that it's thin, it will have a different consistency until it will be cooked and cooled.

Cups brush with oil. 

Fill the dough into 3/4.

The water in the pot should be half a cup.

Simmer about 20 minutes. Make sure you have a lid. Cover immediately.

When the Dumpling  are done, let it sit in the cups until completely  cool.
 

Most of all I like it with Tenderloin on Cream or Segedin Goulash. But it is also served with saucy dishes – such as various Goulashes and Stews,  Stuffed Pepper, Baked Meat with Cabbage or Meat in horseradish sauce.  

Cheers,
Erika

Italian Peach Cookies

Pesche dolci di pasta brioche

I inspired there and  there.

I ate it many years ago and  I was looking for a peaches recipe many years.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
200 ml oil
200 ml milk
300 gr sugar
850 gr flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Filling:
Peach Jam , I used also strawberry jam, because my daughter loves it, but peach jam is better. version.
Decorating:
Peach Liqueur or Rum +Cinnamon
Yellow & Red & Orange Food Colouring
Super Fine Sugar
Mint Leaves

Directions:

For the cookies:Place the eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light, add the oil and milk and beat until creamy. Mix the flour with the baking powder just until it is combined.
Wrap it to the plastic foil and let it rest about 40 minutes.
When tjhe dough is rested  roll it into a longer roll of dough, then sliced, so we turn out quite the same! :)
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Bake into preheated oven at 170°C about 20 minutes .. must remain bright colors.
If the temperature is too high, the dough will burst!!
Cool well.
For the filling, use a spoon and cut out a circle at the bottom of the cookie removing the cookie centers and placing these in a bowl. Be careful not to cut completely through the cookies, but you need to make space for the filling.

One version is: Once you have cut the bottom of each cookie, break up the cookie pieces you have cut out into fine crumbs. Add enough of the peach jam to the cookie crumbs until you have a sticky filling.

Or use only jam without crumbs.

Or an original Italian filling is:
For the lemon cream:
200 ml of milk 
50 ml of limoncello 
1 whole egg 
75 grams of sugar 
40 g of flour 00

Put in a pot milk with limoncello and bring almost to a boil. Meanwhile in another saucepan beat well the egg and sugar. Add the sifted flour and mix well. Pour the hot milk all at once and let thicken over very low heat stirring constantly. In 3 minutes it is ready.

Carefully fill each cookie, and then matching cookies or shape and size, place two cookies together, using the peach mixture or the lemon cream as a glue to hold the cookies together.

To decorate, place about 1/2 cup of the peach liqueur or rum +cinnamon in the separate bowl, and colour one yellow, one orange and the other red. In a last bowl, place the fine sugar. Carefully dip each cookie pair into every mixture.I did it for the first time, so really delicious. But I am not very satisfied  with my colours. It would be better if I would had used smaller amount of red.

Once the cookies have dried, you can insert a couple of mint leaves to resemble a peach.

Enjoy!
