Hi Kathryn,
Ah... I know it well. Whenever we go to the macaroni grill, I have to watch
myself or I'll eat so much of the bread that I can't finish my entree. It's
called "focaccia". Recipe's below. Be sure to get the best olive oil you can
find for the dipping.
Phaed
Macaroni Grill Focaccia
9 T. olive oil, divided use
3 C. unsifted all-purpose flour
3/4 C. unsifted semolina flour
1/2 tsp. salt, divided
1 1/2 T. quick-rising dry yeast
1 1/2 C. hot (between 120-130ºF) milk
1 T. fresh rosemary leaves
Pour a scant tablespoon of the olive oil into a 9-inch square
cake pan; spread evenly to cover bottom and sides. Place
all-purpose flour, semolina flour, 2 tablespoons of the olive
oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and all of the yeast in the bowl
of a mixer fitted with a dough hook. (The mixing can be done by
hand as well.) Blend ingredients on medium speed. Reduce speed to
low and slowly add hot milk. Raise the speed to medium and continue
mixing for 5 minutes (knead about 8 to 10 minutes by hand).
Sprinkle bottom of cake pan with a little flour. Remove dough from
bowl and spread out evenly in pan. Cover with a towel and let rest
for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Remove towel. Brush dough with 1 to 2
tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle top with additional salt
and rosemary. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining oil. Yields 6 to 8 servings.

Hi, I am looking for a recipe for Persimmon Wine, could you please
help me. Theresa
Hello Theresa,
I could only find two, which are below. They're perhaps not the simplest winemaking recipe I've seen, but the first one is tried and true,
coming from a winemaking club. Don't forget that persimmons can have a laxative effect, which is not lost when they are made into wine.
Phaed
Persimmons make a fine, slightly fruity wine, but it will be ruined
if any unripened fruit are utilized. The large, red domesticated
Oriental persimmons make the best wine with a delicate, amber color,
but the wild natives also make a good-tasting, although somewhat
unsightly brown wine.
Persimmon Wine
1.5 kg ripe persimmons
1.1 kg finely granulated sugar
1 tblspn acid blend
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
4 Litres water
1 crushed Campden tablet
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 packet Montrachet, Pasteur Red or Champagne yeast.
Wash the persimmons, cut into quarters and mash the seeds out with
your hands. Mash the pulp well, put into bucket, and add half the
sugar as sugar syrup, the acid blend, yeast nutrient and crushed
Campden tablet. Add water to total 5 litres. Stir well, cover, and
set aside. After 12 hours add pectic enzyme and re-cover. After
another 12 hours, add yeast. Ferment 5-7 days, stirring daily.
Strain through nylon sieve. Do not be concerned if a lot of fine
pulp gets through; it will precipitate out. Add remaining sugar as
syrup, then transfer to demijohn and leave about five cm headroom.
Fit air lock and set aside. Rack every 30 days until wine clears and
no additional lees are laid down (4-6 months). Stabilize only if you
feel the need to sweeten the wine before bottling. This wine should
age in the bottle a year.
---------------------------------
persimmon wine
3 lbs persimmons
7 pts water
2 1/2 tsp acid blend
2 1/4 lbs sugar
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp nutrient
1 campden tablet(crushed)
1 pkg wine yeast
method
pick fully ripe preferably after 1st frost.
1. wash and drain persimmons. cut in half and remove seeds. cut
into chunksand using nylon straing bag crush, mash and squeeze out
juice into primary fermentor.
2.keeping pulp in bag, tie top, and place in primary. stir in all
other ingredients EXCEPT yeast. cover primary.
3.after 24 hrs., add yeast. cover primary.
4.stir daily, check specific gravity and press pulp lightly to
aid extraction.
5.when ferment reaches s.g. 1.040 (3-5 days) strain juice lightly
from bag. syphon wine off sediment into glass secondary. attach air lock.
6. when ferment is complete (s.g. has dropped to 1.000-- about 3 weeks)
syphon off sediment into clean secondary. reattach air lock.
7.to aid clearing syphon again in 2 months and again if necessary before
bottling.
If a slightly sweetened wine is more to taste, then, at bottling
add 1/2 tsp. stabilizer, then stir in 1/4-1/2 lb. dissolved sugar
per gallon.
This makes one gallon. if you want to make 5 gallons just increase
ingredients by 5.

I think I am on the trail of the buckwheat bread recipe I have
been searching for......log onto this site, scroll down to the
potica stamp!!
It is called the motley bread.....now to find the recipe? I
think there is a recipe of sorts for buckwheat in the Slovenian
Women's Union ....."Pots and Pans" cookbook......I will check
it out.
https://www.istrianet.org/istria/philately/stamps1991-1993.htm
Hi Mary,
Well, there are lots of potica recipes around, but none that I can find call for buckwheat.
There's one below.
Phaed
Potica
Dough:
? cup lukewarm water
1 cup scalded milk
1 package of active dry or 1 cake yeast
? cup granulated sugar
2 egg yolks slightly beaten
? cup (? stick) butter
1 teaspoon salt
3.5 to 4 cups sifted all purpose flour
Filling:
12 tablespoons scalded light cream
4 cups ground walnuts (packed)
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
2 egg whites
Making the dough:
1.. Onto warm water in small bowl, sprinkle dry yeast (use
lukewarm water with cake yeast), stir until dissolved.
2.. In big bowl, mix milk, sugar, butter, salt. Cool to
lukewarm.
3.. Add 2 cups of flour, beating well with a rubber spatula
or a spoon. Beat in yeast, egg yolks, then enough of remaining
flour to make soft dough.
4.. Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface, cover with
bowl, let stand 10 minutes. Knead dough until smooth and elastic
(8 to 10 minutes).
5.. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turn once to grease
surface. Cover with a clean towel, let rise in warm place (about
85 F) till doubled, about 1.5 hours. When dough has doubled,
punch it down, again let rise till doubled (45 minutes).
6.. Meanwhile grease a round angel food cake pan (or two 9" by
5" by 3" loaf pans).
Filling and baking:
1.. Into scalded light cream in small bowl, stir walnuts, sugar,
vanilla. Melt butter in a saucepan, add crumbs, saute till golden,
add nut mixture.
2.. Beat egg whites till stiff, fold into nut mixture.
3.. Punch down dough, on slightly floured surface roll into 32"
by 18" rectangle. (If using 2 loaf pans, divide dough into halfs
and roll into 16" by 9" rectangles.) With small spatula, spread
on the filling, starting from short end. Roll up jelly-roll
fashion, place loaf(s) in pan(s).
4.. Let loaf(s) rise until almost doubled (30 to 40 minutes).
Meanwhile start heating oven to 375 F. Brush the top of loaf(s)
with melted butter and bake loaf(s) 30 to 40 min. or until
sounding hollow when tapped with finger.
5.. When potica is done, remove from pan(s), lay upside down on
rack to cool completely (keep out of draft). Serve on board and
slice at table.
