Chocolate Babka

Recipe By : Richard A. Ifft
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter or margarine (+extra for greasing)
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 pkg. active dry yeast
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups (to 6 cups) unbleached flour
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Place milk in a small saucepan and heat it just to the point where it
is ready to boil. Remove from heat, and add the butter or margarine,
and cool. (It can be cooled for 10 minutes in refrigerator.)

Generously grease the bottom, middle, and sides of a standard-sized
tube or bundt pan.

Place water in a large bowl and sprinkle in the yeast.

Add the milk mixture to the yeast when the milk mixture is definitely
cool to wrist temperature; then add sugar and salt.

Add flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition.

After all the flour is mixed in, knead for 5 to 10 minutes on a floured
surface. Add small amounts of flour, if necessary to keep the dough
from getting too sticky to handle.

Clean and grease the bowl. Add kneaded dough, and oil or butter the
top surface. Place it in a warm place to rise until doubled; this will
take approximately 2 hours.

Place chocolate chips in food processor with steel blade, or a blender,
and grind them until they resemble coarse meal. Transfer to a small
bowl and combine with the cocoa. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of this mixture into
bottom of the greased pan and then sprinkle in the chopped nuts.

When the dough has doubled in bulk, punch it down and then knead it for
5 to 10 minutes on the floured surface.

Roll the dough into a large oval with a rolling pin: 9-10 inches wide
at the middle, and 16-17 inches long.

Leaving a 1/2 inch rim around the outer edge, sprinkle the remaining
chocolate filling as evenly as possible over the dough. Roll it
tightly along the long edge, pinching the edges to seal them.
Carefully lift the babka and ease it into the pan, making as even a
circle as possible. Pat it firmly into place, and seal the two ends
together with a bit of water and a good pinch.

You can either let it rise at room temperature 45 minutes and then bake
it, or wrap airtight in a plastic bag and refrigerate (up to two days)
until you are ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until it sounds
hollow when thumped.

Remove chocolate babka from the pan and invert onto a plate, so the
chocolate-nut coating ends up on top. Cool at least 30 minutes.

PIKE IN GALENTYNE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Seafood Main Dish

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 lb Middle cut of pike
Or similar large fish
1 1/4 c White wine
2 tb White wine vinegar
3 Parsley stalks
Salt
3 Slices brown bread
Crusts removed
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
1/8 ts Ground white pepper
4 oz Onions, peeled and chopped
Oil for frying
Gelatine (optional)

Put the fish in a pan, add the wine, vinegar, parsley
stalks and enough salted water to cover the fish and
poach gently for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat; if
necessary, the fish will finish cooking in the liquid
as it cools. Cover the pan and cool to tepid before
finishing the dish.

Carefully lift the fish out of the pan. Reserve the
cooking liquid. Put the bread in a bowl and add enough
of the liquid to cover it.

Skin the fish and take out the spine and other bones;
pike has a line of thin bones through the middle of
the body flesh on each side. Cut all the flesh into
small pieces both to get at them and to make a
manageable dish.

Strain the remaining cooking liquid into a clean pan.
Put 425 ml/15 fl oz/2 cups of it into an electric
blender with the soaked bread, cinnamon and pepper;
process until smooth. Return the mixture to the
liquid in the pan. Fry the onions in a little oil
until soft, and add them to the liquid too. Taste for
seasoning, add the pieces of fish and re-heat gently
to serve.

If you want a cold dish, keep the fish pieces and
fried onions aside while you measure and taste the
liquid, then re-heat it with enough gelatine to
stiffen it; if you had cooked a whole fish, it would
have jellied without help. Add the fish pieces and
onions, turn into a mould and leave to set in the
refrigerator. Auter pike in Galentyne. Take browne
brede, and stepe it in a quarte of vinegre, and a pece
of wyne for a pike, and quarteren of pouder canell,
and drawe it thorgh a streynour skilfully thik, and
cast it in a potte, and lete boyle; and cast there-to
pouder peper, or ginger, or of clowes, and lete kele.
And then take a pike, and seth him in good sauce, and
take him vp, and lete him kele a litul; and ley him in
a boll for to cary him yn; and cast the sauce vnder
him and aboue him, that he be al y-hidde in the sauce;
and cary him whether euer thou wolt.
