Garlic Dukkah Bread Food

EGYPTIAN DUKKAH RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the hazelnuts and almonds in a dry cast iron pan (do NOT add oil). Toast briefly over medium-high heat, tossing regularly, until the nuts gain some color (watch for nuts to turn a nice golden brown). Transfer to a side dish for now.
• Place the sesame seeds in the same skillet and return to the heat. Toast over medium heat, tossing regularly, until the sesame seeds turn golden brown (this will be fairly quick so watch carefully).
• Add the toasted nuts and sesame seeds to the bowl of a small food processor fitted with a blade. Add the pistachios, fennel seeds, spices, and a generous dash of kosher salt. Pulse for a few seconds until you reach a nice coarse mixture (Do not over process the dukkah. The mixture should not be too fine. See photos and video for exact texture).
• Transfer the dukkah to a bowl to serve. Add a small bowl of extra virgin olive oil and your favorite bread for dipping (I like pita bread or even Jerusalem bagel). You can also store the dukkah in a tight-lid jar for up to 2 weeks to use as a topping for salad, soup, chicken, meats, or roasted vegetables!

DUKKAH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet, and bake for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant. While the nuts are still hot, pour them onto a tea towel. Fold the towel over them to cover, and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Set aside to cool.
• In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until light golden brown. Pour into a medium bowl as soon as they are done so they will not continue toasting. In the same skillet, toast the coriander and cumin seeds while shaking the pan or stirring occasionally until they begin to pop. Transfer to a food processor. Process until finely ground, then pour into the bowl with the sesame seeds. Place the cooled hazelnuts into the food processor, and process until finely ground. Stir into the bowl with the spices. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

DUKKAH

Steps:

• Firstly toast the nuts in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
• Toast the spice seeds and sesame seeds separately in the same way.
• Cool and combine with the remaining ingredients in a food processor.
• Grind the mixture until it resembles small breadcrumbs.
• The mixture should be very dry and crumbly, not a paste.
• Be careful as over processing can release the oil from the nuts making the mixture moist, which you don't want.

GARLIC DUKKAH BREAD

Steps:

• Slice the french stick or baguette at 1" intervals. Don't slice right through the bottom.
• Mix together the butter, crushed garlic and dukkah.
• Butter both sides of each slice of bread with this mixture, spreading a little over the top of the french stick/baguette.
• Sprinkle a little more DUKKAH over the french stick then wrap up in foil & pop into the oven for 20-30 minutes at 170°C.
• Serve warm!

DUKKAH ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place potatoes and garlic cloves in a 11x13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil mixture and toss to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring potatoes every 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix butter and dukkah. Brush over potatoes, then return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and golden. Sprinkle with salt and garnish with parsley.

DUKKAH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix everything together in a bowl then spread over a baking tray and cook for 8-10 mins until the dukkah looks toasted.
• Tip into a food processor and pulse a few times just until the nuts are chopped not smooth.

GARLIC BREAD ( REGULAR LOAF)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in given order in your bread maker.
• Set for regular or rapid bake cycle.

GARLIC-THYME BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine yeast and water, and allow to stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until foamy.
• Stir in oil, salt, garlic, thyme, and whole wheat flour.
• Add white flour 1/4 cup at a time, as needed, until a stiff manageable dough is formed.
• Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
• (For even more garlicky flavour, after the dough has risen once, punch it down and place in refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature, and then proceed with the following directions.) Preheat oven to 450° and dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
• If desired, work a bit of parmesan-reggiano into the dough at this point with some olive oil for extra flavour.
• Form the dough into a round, place on prepared cooking sheet, cover with plastic, and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Brush lightly with cold water, bake for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 400° and continue baking for 20-30 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
