Title: Kolach (Braided Bread)

Categories: Russian, Holiday, Bread, Ethnic, Ukrainian

Yield: 3 Servings

 

1 ts Sugar

1 c Water, Lukewarm

2 pk Dry Yeast

3 tb Sugar

1 lg Egg Beaten With

1 tb Water For Glaze

Disolve 1 tsp sugar in the water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Add

1 Tbl of sugar, stir and let stand for 10 minutes. Combine the yeast

with the milk, lightly beaten eggs, salt, 2 tbl sugar, oil, and 3

cups of sifted flour. Beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a

warm place until light and bubbly, about 1 hour. Mix in enough of

the remaining flour to make a light, slightly sticky dough, then

knead in the bowl until smooth and elastic,(Remember the heavier the

dough, the heavier the bread.) and leaves the sides of the bowl

easily. Or in the processor, add the yeast mixture to the flour and

then add the liquids. With the machine running, add more flour until

dough is smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and place in a lightly

inches thick. Braid together, starting at the middle and turn the

ends under. Repeat with each of the remaining parts of the dough.

Place the loaves on buttered baking sheets. Do not crowd, since the

loaves will double in size. Cover with the damp towel and let rise

until almost double. Brush with the egg glaze and sprinkle with the

poppy seeds. Bake in a preheated 375 Degrees F. oven at least 1 hour,

or until golden. Test by rapping the bottom, there should be a nice

hollow sound. Cool on wire racks until cold before cutting.

Rye Pumpernickle from: Jewish Cooking In America by Joan Nathan

Copyright 1994 This book and the last one are out of print

 

 

4 cups freshly ground rye grain, can subsitute with rye flour

4 cups slightly tepid potato water

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

1/2 cup blackstrap molasses

3 1/4 -4 cups water

1/4 cup malt powder

 

Dough

 

5 pounds white bread flour sifted

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup wheat germ

2 cups coarsely ground wheat bran

1/4 cup malt powder

5 tablespoons salt or to taste

3 1/2 to 4 cups tap water

1/2 caraway sees(optional)

 

Cornmeal for dusting

 

Mix the rye, water, yeast , and molasses in a very large stainless steel. Cover

with a plate and let sit 3 days in a cool spot, about 60 degrees. So that the

starter can ferment slowly.

 

Add water and malt powder to the starter and disolve using a whisk or an ancient

Barvarian wooden spoon.

 

When the starter is ready., place the remaining infresients in a large bowl.

Make a well in the middle and add to the starter. Knead in the bowl for at

least 10 minutes or until the bread starts forming a nice large ball. If it

doesn't seem to cometogether as quickly as you want, let it rest for a few

minutes and you'll be able to knead more easily. The dough should be stiff.

 

Keep the dough in the bowl and place inside a large white garbage bag so that

the dough will not dry out. Leave it to rise for 10-20 hours in thewinter and

5-6 hours in the summer

 

Punch the dough down, turn it out on big work surface, divide inot 4 large

portions. Shape into circles or place in greased bread pans. Dust with corn

meal. Let is rise until double.

 

With paring knife make 6 slashs in any pattern you like. Place in a cold oven

with a broiler with hot water in the bottom. Turn the oven to 350 degrees and

bake about 1 1/2 hours or until the loaves are done, sounding hollow when

tapped with a knife.

 

I'll check the two remaining cookbooks after I get inside from feeding the

beasties.

I wish I had my grandmothers recipe. She died when I was a teen-ager. At the

time I didn't realize she was a wealth of knowledge. None of my sisters did

either. They went with her.

 

My ex-husband great grandmother would make these special rolls for Passover. I

went to the house and each hand full or pinch was then put in measuring cups and

measuring spoons. She was also from Russia. Her daughter, gave me the muffin

pans she used to make them in after she died. She brought them from Russia.

 

Every year I make those rolls I/m always thinking of her. She was a sweet

little old Jewish lady. Miss her even after all these years.

I can imagine it with either cream cheese and jelly or schmaltz with a little

salt.

Guess I'll have to make some schmaltz this week!
