Subject: Recipe for rolls
Hello Phaed,
I'm looking for a recipe for two rolls that were served at a kosher
deli/restaurant named "Ronnie's" that used to be in Orlando, FL.
They made a pumpernickel and/or rye roll that was filled with onion
and another version of the same roll filled with onions and poppy seeds.
The rolls had a chewy crust and a soft inside and were rich in flavor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Carol
Hi Carol,
Alas, no recipes from Ronnie's have made it on to the Internet. Below, however, are the onion
pumpernickel or rye roll recipes that I found.
Phaed
Pumpernickel Rolls
Beginning with a starter or a sponge, greatly enhances the flavor and
texture of these hearty rolls. Made small, these make wonderful side
rolls. Made larger, these make a good sandwich roll.
Quick sponge:
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons malt flour or syrup (or brown sugar)
1 cup coarse or dark rye flour
1/4 cup white bread flour
Dough:
1/2 cup warm water
2 to 4 teaspoons baker's caramel *
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 to 3 cups white bread flour
Beaten egg white
Caraway seeds for sprinkling
An hour before making dough, mix together water, yeast, caraway seeds,
malt flour or syrup, rye and white bread flours. Stir to make a thick
mixture and let stand one hour.
Stir down spongy mixture and add remaining water, salt, sugar, and most
of white bread flour. Stir until dough can be kneaded (by hand or dough
hook) adding additional flour as required to make a soft, springy dough
(6 to 8 minutes).
Place dough in a well greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise
until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 or 16 portions, depending on size of rolls required.
Form each into a ball and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet,
spaced three inches apart. Brush each roll with egg white and sprinkle on
some caraway seeds. Let rise, until double in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 400*F (205*C). degree oven, 15 to 18 minutes, until
rolls are slightly firm when pressed with fingertips.
Makes 12 to 16 rolls.
* Baker's caramel can be found at baking supply stores and some supermarkets
or you can use Kitchen Bouquet.
Variations:
For Pumpernickel Onion Rolls: Add 1/2 cup finely minced onions at the end of
step 2.
For Pumpernickel Cranberry Rolls: Add 1 cup dried cranberries at the end of
step 2.
For Pumpernickel Currant Rolls: Add 1 cup currants at the end of step 2.
--------------------------------------------
Onion Rye Rolls
3-3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup rye flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons malted milk powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 cup water (105° to 115° F)
2-1/4-ounce packages active dry yeast
1 extra-large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped yellow onions
For glazing the rolls:
1 extra-large egg
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
Preparation
1. Mix together both flours, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the malted
milk powder, salt, and caraway seeds in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
2. Make the yeast sponge: Stir the water, yeast, and the remaining
tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl until dissolved. Let the mixture
stand until it is foamy and light, about 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer equipped with a dough hook or a
paddle, beat the egg and 1/3 cup oil in a large bowl on high until light
yellow. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the yeast mixture, then the
flour mixture, then 1 cup of the onions.
4. Knead the flour mixture by beating the dough on high for 15 minutes
(the dough will be smooth and elastic).
5. Transfer the dough to a well-buttered bowl and turn over the dough
once to coat it well with the butter (the dough will be sticky). Cover
the dough and let it rise at room temperature until it's double its size
(this will probably take about 1 hour).
6. Preheat the oven to 400F and butter 2 baking sheets. Punch the dough
down with your fist to deflate it. Turn out the dough onto a lightly
floured surface. Flour your hands and lightly knead the dough until it's
no longer sticky, about 2 minutes.
7. To make dinner-size 4-inch rolls: Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces,
then each piece into 3 more equal pieces, using kitchen shears. You will
have 12 little mounds of dough. (For smaller twin rolls, divide the dough
into 24 equal pieces.) Flour your hands well. Pick up each piece of dough
in the palm of your hand and shape it into a rounded roll with a smooth
top. Place the rolls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
8. Whisk the egg with the 1/2 teaspoon oil and brush this glaze on top of
each roll. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup onions. Cover the rolls and
let them rise until light and doubled in size, about 30 minutes more. Bake
the rolls until they are golden and set, about 10 to 12 minutes for the
twin rolls, 13 to 15 minutes for the buns. Serve them warm or at room
temperature or use for overstuffed sandwiches. These are outstanding when
filled with layers of freshly sliced warm corned beef on the bottom and
sliced pastrami on top.
Yield Makes a dozen rolls about 4 inches in diameter, or 2 dozen rolls,
about 3 inches in diameter
--------------------------------------------
Sandwich Rye Bread

two ingredients from them.

I have searched several places on the Internet for the Moon cookies.
My grandmother called them Dark O Moon (not sure of spelling). She
described them as half chocolate, half vanilla. I have found several
places that have cookies that sound like them, but the frosting is
what makes them chocolate and vanilla. Some people called them half
moon cookies.
I would appreciate your help in finding these cookies, if they are out
there to be found. I appreciate your time.
