    Recipes from Slovenia

    Potica(cake - pronounce as: paw-tee-tzah, stress on tee)

    The secret of a good potica is in appropriate dough, and the secret of the dough is in the flour.
    Use only high-quality, fine grain wheat flour, very dry
    ( set the yeast into a warm place to rise - the mixture should rise to at least twice its original volume before usage).

    Ingredients for the dough:

    60 dag warmed, fine-grain dry wheat flour
    6 dag fresh yeast
    2.5--3 dl warm milk
    10 dag softened butter
    3 egg yolks
    10 dag sugar
    2 Tbsp dark rum
    grated peel of 1 lemon
    pinch of salt

    Mix softened butter, sugar and egg-yolks and beat until the sugar is well dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
    Warm up the milk, mix in salt, lemon peel, rum and the butter mixture.
    Form the dough out of the warm flour, yeast and the milk mixture
    -- The trick is not to pour in all the milk mixture immediately:
    Use about 3/4 to start with, then add more as the dough forms
    (the quantity of milk in the above list of ingredients) is not quite fixed
    -- It depends on the quality of the flour: with very fine-grain flour, very dry, use all 3 dl -- you should use less with inferior quality flour).
    Beat the dough vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough is smooth and separates easily from the spoon and the bowl.
    Cover the bowl with a cloth and set the dough in a warm place to rise
    -- Before continuing, the dough should rise to twice its size.

    Walnut:

    Scald 30 dag ground walnuts with 0.125 litre boiling milk;
    Mix in 15 dag sprea cream; beat 3 egg-whites until very stiff and fold into mixture.

    Poppy:

    Cook 0.5 kg ground poppy seeds in 0.25 l milk (or cream) for 5--10 minutes;
    Alow to cool, then mix in 3 egg-yolks, 2 Tbsp honey, 15 dag sugar, 2 tsp vanilla-scented castor sugar; ed to raise a lot.
    For good potica, the proportions of the height of the mold vs. its width should be at least 2:1.

    Set the oven to 200 C.
    Roll out the dough to the thickness of your little finger (that's the traditional measure) and spread with crumbs;
    Carefully transfer the potica into the dish, the covering ("last") edge should be at the bottom.
    Cover the dish with cloth and set in a warm place
    -- Potica should rise to twice its size before baking.
    Put potica in the warmed-up oven and bake it.
    Than put vanilla-scented castor sugar and cover with cloth -- but do not cut it until completely cooled
    Traditionally, potica was always baked a day before it was served.

    Slovenian measurements:

    Dag is a measurement for weight.
    We used to have dkg, but some time ago we changed it to dag.

    1 dag = 0.01kg
    1 dag = 10g

    * Buckwheat Zganci *
    =====================

    Ajdovi "Zganci, see character set, pronounce as: z h zganci.

    The way to prepare zganci is the following: Pour buckwheat flour into salt wather.
    If you wish small zganci, stir with two-pronged fork and garnish in the pot.
    For softer zganci (in the Styrian ("Stajerska) style), add some of the saved liquid and stir.

    Traditional Food in Slovenia - slovenian names:

    Potica
    Flancati
    Krofi
    Buhteljni
    Wine cake
    Struklji
    Zganci

    New Jersey, Pizza!

    Hi, Kids,
    We're going to give you my special home-made New Jersey Tomato Pie (which is another name for PIZZA!!!)
    Buy pizza dough (frozen) or bread dough, Jersey tomato sauce, grated Mozzaletta cheese, sliced spicy pepperoni , oregono, garlic salt, ground basil leaves,ground parsley leaves,olive oil,

    Steps:

    (1) First preheat to oven 450 degrees Fahrenheit then
    (2) First let the dough rise (It has yeast inside so that can happen)
    (3) Then knead and roll out the dough so that it is VERY THIN and big enough to cover a large pizza pan (or large cookie sheet).
    (4) Spread LOTS of New Jersey tomato sauce all over the dough; add a little bit of olive oil
    (about 10 teaspoons ... add more or less according to your own taste )
    (5) then sprinking generously with oregono, basil, and parsley leaves.
    (6) add lots of thick Mozzaletta cheese then smother the top with sliced spicy pepperoni.
    You can also add: mushrooms, black olives, meatballs, sausage, and /or pineapple
    (Yes pineapple, I went to my friend's house and that's what THEY did!!)
    (7) Bake in the HOT oven for about 15 minutes to a half hour (until the pizza doesn't stick to the pan, but before it is burnt).

    Finally, and the MOST IMPORTANT PART, EAT the pizza with great excitement and use lots of napkins because a good pizza will ooozze all over the place!

    *Ask your mom for Coca Cola to go with the pizza, but be careful, Coke taste good, but some people use it to clean the battery of their car.. (In other words, it acts like an acid getting corrosion off the battery!)

    We hope you enjoy our home-made recipe!!

    Use a long and sharp bladed knife like a fillet knife.
    Slice meat thin in a disc like shape or a long roll either one works
    or you can tenderize the meat which is even better sometimes.
    Preheat oven until it is 140 degrees.
    Dip in a small pan or a bowl of soy sauce
    Add onion salt, salt, pepper of most any kind like the stuff you use on stakes,
    or cayenne pepper, or just plain old pepper and sprinkle the mixture on the meat.
