Holige Flatbread With Sweet Raisin Filling Food

HOLIGE (FLATBREAD WITH SWEET RAISIN FILLING)

Steps:

• Combine semolina flour, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, turmeric, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Stir in enough water to form a soft dough.
• Brush remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over dough. Cover dough with a damp cloth or paper towel and let rest, 2 to 3 hours.
• Process raisins and dates into a paste in a food processor or high-powdered blender. Add sugar, coconut, mixed nuts, poppy seeds, cardamom, and nutmeg; blend until thoroughly combined.
• Roll raisin and date mixture into golfball-sized balls.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Sprinkle 1/4 cup whole wheat flour over a flat work surface. Roll 1 ball of dough out into a thin circle; place 1 raisin and date ball in the center. Wrap dough around the ball and pinch to seal. Roll back out into a circle. Repeat with remaining dough and raisin and date balls.
• Melt 1 teaspoon of ghee in a large skillet. Cook dough until brown spots appear, about 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon ghee to the top of the dough and flip. Cook until brown spots appear on the second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining dough.

SWEET BREAD WITH RAISINS

Steps:

• Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (add a little sugar to the water). Combine milk, 1/2 cup butter, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and cool to lukewarm. Stir in eggs, vanilla, salt, and the yeast. Gradually add flour, beating well after each addition. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in bulk, about 1-1 1/2 hours. Beat down and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Turn batter onto a floured board and knead with your hands. Drain water from raisins and knead them into the dough. If dough is too thin, add a bit more flour. Divide batter into 2 well-greased 9x5x3-inch pans. Let rise in a warm place until light, about 45 minutes.
• Bake in 350 oven for 25-30 minutes or until a deep golden brown. When done, remove from oven and while still warm, brush with melted butter. Bread should be very light and sweet.
