Hello Gary,
See below.
Phaed
Russian Rye Bread
Preparation and baking time: 3 - 3 1/2 hours. Yield: 2 large loaves.
3 1/2 c. water (100 degrees)
1 tbsp. dry yeast
1/2 c. dark molasses
1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1/4 c. onion flakes
2 tbsp. caraway seeds
2 tbsp. fennel seeds
2 tbsp. gluten flour
2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cooking oil
2 tsp. vinegar
4 c. rye flour
2 c. white flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
Proof yeast in 1 cup warm water (about 100 degrees) with 1 tablespoon molasses.
If yeast is good, add remaining water, salt, oil, gluten, onion, caraway seeds,
fennel seeds, molasses, melted chocolate to a large mixing bowl. Add flour 2
cups at a time and stir together. Dump contents of bowl onto floured surface
and knead 10-15 minutes. Add a blend of white and rye flour while kneading.
Don't attempt to totally eliminate stickiness.
Dough is ready when it resumes its shape when pressed in by 2 fingers. Grease
or butter a large bowl and put the dough in to rise. Turn the dough in the
bowl to grease the entire surface. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in
a draft-free, warm place until it has doubled in size, 35-45 minutes. Punch
down the dough with your fist, and turn it out onto the floured surface to knead.
Knead dough, adding flour to reduce stickiness. Dough is ready when it responds
as described above .Split dough into 2 equal pieces. Flatten dough with palm
and press out from center to eliminate air bubbles. Roll flattened dough into
a coil. Turn ends under and pinch all seams closed. Put dough into greased
9x9 inch loaf pan and flatten dough until it touches all sides. Press down
all edges to form rounded top.
Repeat with second piece of dough. Let dough rise a second time until doubled
in bulk, about 35-45 minutes, in a warm place, no drafts. Dough does not need
to be covered.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. When done, bread sounds hollow when
tapped. Remove bread from pans immediately and cool on a wire rack.

NOTES : This is a popular mild-flavored soup frequently served as a first

Dear Phaed, good morning!
Sorry, we had a lot of things to do and I had no time to put the
instructions in English (it is not to much easy and quick for me...).
We live in Minas Gerais State and we have here the larger milk
production in Brazil. There is here a top of line farm specialized in milk
and yogurt production and we got good results only with the yogurt they sell
in 1 kg pots.
Anyway, here goes the instructions.
Hugs,
Claudio
Phaed,
I hope you will forgive some problems about the English but I have no time
to use good dictionaries in order to avoid errors and mistakes…
Lets go!
One has to buy 2 kg (it can be 1 kg, or 3 kg, etc.) of a very high quality
fat yogurt. Usually it is out of commerce and the best idea is to buy it
directly from a farm or to buy fresh milk and prepare the yogurt at home.
I want to put that the quality of the yogurt is of great importance.
Keep the yogurt at room temperature during 3 up to 5 days till it becomes
a little sour.
Then, put the yogurt in a liquefier and mix during 3 minutes.
Bring the yogurt into boiling (Enameled pot is better. Avoid aluminum.) and
let it boil a few minutes in order to be sure that appeared a liquid separated
from the solid part.
Drain it trough two layers of cheesecloth, tie the 4 corners of the cheesecloth
and hang it in order to let it dry as much as possible. While hanging press it
strongly: it will help to dry. Open the cheesecloth. Now it is solid.
Use the hands to make it in coarse grains.
Put it in a covered Pyrex and let it in a warm woven between 140 160 F (after a
few hours check the lid: if it has no condensation the temperature is too high
and a little condensation means the temperature is correct) during 3 up to five
days till it becomes a little yellowish and get the characteristic smell.
Remove the content to a food processor, ad around 17 grams of salt for each
400 grams of kashk and mix it well.
Now it is ready and you can keep in the freezer*. To use it, cut a piece and
smash it in sufficient water.
* If you live in a sunny place you can make little balls. Let them dry
thoroughly in the sun and store them in fresh and dry place.
I'm a Baltimore native in Los Angeles and have Almond
Smash cravings every now and again. So, for those that
don't live in Balto...if you want to simulate Almond
Smash do this: get yourself a 2L bottle or some cans
of Big Red soda (https://www.bigredltd.com/) which is
not available in Maryland (see map at BR site), pour
some over ice and add a drop or two of almond extract
(use the real stuff not imitation) and Blammo --
Almond Smash or close enough. A little goes a long way
with the extract so be careful. Hey, add some vodka,
bourbon, or rum and it's a party! Almond Smashed you
could call that cocktail.
