Italian Rye Bread

Most of my time last week, I spent building my new blog. Hopefully, it's going to support my new  business. I have registered my name (CaKing Agent) and got ABN; only visit from my council is left to give it final 'green light'. 

'Till then, here is an Italian recipe for rye bread; (reminds of my favourite 'Bauernbrot').

Ingredients:

3 cups rye flour

2 cups bread (white) flour

2 tsp yeast, instant (or 30 g fresh)

2 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 1/4 cups water ( 300 ml)

2 tbs olive oil (or lard)

1 tbs fennel seeds

1 tsp caraway seeds

Method:

Activate yeast with some warm water, sugar and a little flour. Mix in all other ingredients (except seeds) and knead for 10 minutes. Add seeds and knead in.  Let it rest in warm spot (covered). All this can be done in a bread maker.

Punch the dough down, shape into a loaf and place onto a tin. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200*C. Place tin in hot oven, place 3-4 ice cubes on bottom and close the door. Bake for 5-10 minutes, then lower temperature to 180*C and bake for another 35+ minutes. Take out, wrap in a clean tea towel and let it cool.

Italijanski Ražani Kruh

Vecinu vremena prosle sedmice sam provela u izgradnji novog bloga. Ta nova web adresa ce, nadam se, potpomoci razvoju mog novog biznisa. Registovala sam novo ime (CaKing Agent - 'Kolačarski Agent'), dobila odredjeni biznis broj i samo je jos preostala posjeta iz moje lokalne opstine da bi dobila konacno 'zeleno svjetlo'.

Do tad', evo jednog Italijanskog recepta za razani hljeb ;(podsjeca na meni najdrazi 'Bauernbrot').

Potrebno:

3 solje razanog brasna

2 solje bijelog brasna

2 k instant kvasca (ili 30 gr svjezeg)

2 k soli

1 k secera

1 1/4 solje vode, mlake (300 ml)

2 K maslinovog ulja (ili masti)

1 K sjemena komoraca

1 k karavaj sjemenki (?) 

(Translator je pokazao kim, ali bih ipak rekla da je nesto drugo)

Nacin:

Aktivirajte kvasac sa malo brasna, secera i vode. Ubacite sve sastojke (osim sjemenki) u vecu posudu i umijesite. Na kraju dodajte i sjemenke, izradite jos malo i ostavite pokriveno na toplo mjesto oko 1 sat +.  Sve ovo mozete uciniti i pomocu pekaca. Premijesite hljeb, oblikujte veknu i postavite na pleh. Ostavite nadolaziti oko pola sata.

Ukljucite rernu na 200 *C. Postavite pleh u rernu, na dno bacite 3-4 kocke leda i zatvorite. Pecite 5-10 minuta , smanjite temperaturu na 180*C pa pecite jos 35+ minuta. Izvadite i zamotajte u cistu krpu da se prohladi.

Vienna's Rye Bread Rolls

I don't know if we were exhausted, or because it was Sunday, or maybe fact that previous day we've been in Thailand, but Vienna and it's people didn't impress me much. I suppose crew from Austrian airlines had something to do with my opinion! (And I'm not saying all Austrians are arrogant and unfriendly, because one of best people I know is Austrian - Silvia, I'm talking about you!)

We had one day to explore, and this is what we saw. (Recipe for bread rolls is in the middle)

Ne znam da li je bio umor u pitanju, ili zato sto je bila nedjelja, ili mozda cinjenica da smo stigli iz Tajlanda, ali Bec i Austrijanci me se nisu posebno dojmili. Pretpostavljam da su zaposlenici Austrijskog Airlajn-a malo doprinijeli mome misljenju! (I nemam namjeru sve Austriance nazvati arogantnim i neprijateljski raspolozenim, jer jedna od najboljih osoba koje poznajem je Austrijanka - Silvia iz Graza).

Imali smo jedan dan za obilazak, i evo sta smo vidjeli. (Recept je u sredini)

Early Sunday morning in Schonbrunn / Rano nedjeljno jutro u Schonbrunn-u.

Hotel Carlton Opera (Vivaldi, Schubert, Brahms and other have been guests in this hotel. Mozart conducted 'Magic Flute' here!...Not that I cared about it in that early morning - I just wanted a bed to rest).

Hotel Carlton Opera, u kojem su nekad boravili Vivaldi, Schubert, Brahms i drugi. Mozart je komponovao Carobnu Frulu ovdje!...Ne da me je bilo mnogo briga o svemu tome tog jutra - samo sam zelila krevet da se odmorim).

Waiting for our rooms (desperately)....very tired, after whole night on a plane!

Ocajno se ocekuju sobe...jako umorni poslije cijele noci u avionu!

Nacin:

Aktivirajte kvasac, umijsajte sa svim ostalim sastojcima i umijesite tijesto. Ostavite (pokriveno toplo mjesto) odmarat dok ne narastei. (Sve ovo mozete uciniti u pekacu; izaberite program za mijesenje).

Izvadite tijesto i podijelite na komadice (ja sam dobila 18 komada po 75 grama). 

Oblikujte loptice ili polumjesece / kifle (razvaljate krug, pa ga zarolate u kiflu). Smjestite ih na nauljenu tepsiju. Pokrijte i drzite 30-ak minuta na toplom.

Ukljucite rernu na 190*C. Premazite peciva bjelanjkom i pospite sjemenkama. Pecite 15+ minuta.
