  • Sesame seeds / Nigella seeds for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. 1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
   2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
   3. Knead the Dough: Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

1. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

5. 5. Cook the Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onions; sauté until softened and translucent.
   6. Add Minced Meat: Stir in the minced meat of your choice, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned.

5. Season the Meat: Add paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh coriander. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

8. 8. Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, fresh green coriander, dried parsley, and Aleppo pepper. Mix well.
   9. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 10-12). Roll each piece into a circle (about 5-6 inches in diameter).

8. Add Fillings: Place a spoonful of the meat filling and a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
9. Egg Wash: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

12. 12. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

12. Bake: Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cooking Tips

• • Customize the Filling: Feel free to adjust the spices and herbs based on your preferences. Adding chopped bell peppers or spinach can enhance the flavor and nutrition.
  • Check the Dough: The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, but not sticky. Adjust the flour as needed while kneading.

• Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before assembling the rolls.

Classic Homemade Pound Cake

Pound cake is a timeless dessert that has graced many tables over generations. Known for its dense and rich texture, this classic cake is a delightful treat that is simple to make yet incredibly satisfying. Perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a special celebration, or a casual tea time snack, pound cake remains a favorite. The beauty of pound cake lies in its simplicity and the ability to pair it with various toppings or enjoy it plain.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs, at room temperature
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This process can take about 5 minutes and is crucial for a light texture.
3. Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures that each egg is thoroughly incorporated into the batter.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
6. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Slice the pound cake and serve it plain or with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Conclusion:

Classic homemade pound cake is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Its rich, buttery flavor and dense texture make it a satisfying treat that stands the test of time.

Hearty Seafood and Vegetable Soup

Ingredients for 4-5 People

For the Broth:

• • Shrimp heads and shells (from the seafood used in the soup)

• • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • A handful of fresh parsley

• 2 liters of water

For the Soup:

• • 600 g seafood (shrimp, squid, mussels; you can also add small pieces of white fish such as cod or haddock)
  • 1 leek, sliced

• • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

• • 1 zucchini (or replace with butternut squash for a sweeter flavor), chopped
  • Mushrooms (optional), sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

• Finely chopped coriander (for garnish)

How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp Broth

1. 1. Clean the Seafood: Begin by cleaning your seafood. If you’re using shrimp, remove the heads and shells, but keep them as they will be used to make the broth. Set the cleaned seafood aside for later.
   2. Cook the Broth: In a large pot, add the shrimp heads and shells, roughly chopped onion, crushed garlic, parsley, and 2 liters of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then lower to a simmer. Allow the broth to cook for about 30-40 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the top.

1. Strain the Broth: Once the broth is rich and fragrant, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot. Discard the solids. You now have a flavorful seafood broth as the base of your soup.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

1. 1. Chop the Vegetables: While the broth is simmering, chop the leek, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms (if using). Finely dice the onion as well.
   2. Sauté the Onion and Leek: In a large soup pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced leek. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

1. Add the Remaining Vegetables: Once the onions and leeks are softened, add the carrots, potatoes, and zucchini (or butternut squash if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Soup

1. 1. Add the Broth: Pour the prepared shrimp broth over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still holding their shape.
   2. Cook the Seafood: Once the vegetables are almost done, add the shrimp, squid, mussels, and any other seafood you’re using to the pot. If you’re adding white fish, now is the time to stir in the small pieces of fish as well. Seafood cooks quickly, so allow it to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, just until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.

Step 4: Season and Serve

1. 1. Season the Soup: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference. If you like a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
   2. Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with finely chopped coriander. The coriander adds a burst of freshness and ties the dish together.
   3. Serve Hot: Serve the soup hot, with crusty bread or a side of rice if desired.

Cottage Cheese Bagels

Ingredients:

• • 1 large egg
  • 60g (about 1/2 cup) hard cheese (cheddar, gouda, etc.), grated

• Add 60g of grated hard cheese.
• Incorporate your favorite spices, herbs, chopped green onions, or dill.

2. Add the Flour:

• • Gradually add 30g of rice flour, mixing well after each addition. Adjust based on the moisture content of the cottage cheese—if the mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour, but don’t make it too dry. The consistency should be slightly moist and curd-like.

3. Form the Bagels:

• Divide the mixture into 9 equal portions.
• Shape each portion into a bagel or your desired form, and place them on a baking sheet. The dough will be sticky, so handle it gently.

4. Bake the Bagels:

• • Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

• Sprinkle sesame or other seeds on top of each bagel for added texture and flavor.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels turn golden brown.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Pair with butter, cream cheese, or jam for a tasty snack.

• Serve alongside a hearty soup or salad for lunch.

Cooking Tips:

• • Flour Adjustment: Depending on how wet the cottage cheese is, you may need to adjust the amount of flour for the right dough consistency.

• • Customize Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, or add spices like paprika or cumin.
  • Cheese Choice: You can use any hard cheese of your choice for different flavor profiles—cheddar, Parmesan, or Swiss cheese work great.
  • Shaping: If you find the dough too sticky to handle, lightly oil your hands or use a small amount of flour to shape the bagels.

• Crispier Topping: For extra crunch, brush the bagels with a little olive oil before sprinkling with sesame seeds.

Nutritional Benefits:

• • Cottage Cheese: High in protein, low in fat, and an excellent source of calcium.
  • Cheese: Adds a good dose of protein and calcium, contributing to bone health.

• Herbs: Fresh herbs add vitamins and antioxidants, enhancing the nutritional value of the bagels.
• Rice Flour: Naturally gluten-free and low in calories, making this a light yet satisfying option.

Dietary Information:

• • Vegetarian: Yes

• Gluten-Free: Yes, when using rice flour or any other gluten-free flour.
