    salam sara

    jazak`allah khair for your lovely comments the bread kind are very simple they are just

    6 eggs
    1 cup of sugar
    1 cup of oil
    baking powder about two tablespoons
    vanilla
    zest of a lemon
    and 1 kilo flour

    mix everything together except the flour once done add in the flour slowly until you have a soft dough ad for the brown area all i did was take a piece of dough and add chocolate powder to it till your satisfied

    then get your other dough and half it knead it and make into a ball and then roll it out like a sausage then add the chocolate part into the middle and bring the other dough over it and roll until it`s all inside

    place on a baking sheet and brush a with egg yolk mixed with milk then with a fork make lines from side to side and then started at the other end and go the opposite way and then place in oven

    these are called crooki (maybe my spelling is wrong) and the shape oned are made the same way except no chocolate inside , i have made them before and put raisins in them

    yes you can get all the spices sam , esp if you go to the halal shop he will have most of those and the spice called carwia is just powdered cloves but you don`t have to use that

    you know most ppl just use recipes as a guide line and try different ways that suit them

    i think you would like it sam and if you can use basmati rice it`s much better with it

    Assalam alaykoum Sister,

    I was looking for kroky recipe as I want to surprise my husband as it's his favourite gateou! So Jazakhallak for this, I couldn't find anywhere all the internet (maybe in arabic but I don't speak it). I have just a question about the amount ; hoe much will be from this 1 kg flour? If I only want to make it for 2 person, should I decrease the amount to 50-70%? As you can see I'm not an expert in baking :)

    Thank you and Alllah yahafdak
    salaam
    Amina

La Koka (algerian pizza)

we are one for pizza and this ramdan you can believe that alot of pizza was made  and eaten .... but last year i remember my dh coming home and saying i will teach you a new one ...so i said go ahead masha`allah it was delicious ....the amazing thing was their is no cheese on this pizza ...(what i hear you say).... yes no cheese so basically  i use the same pizza dough as here then i spread just tomato puree and not the sauce i usually use all over the dough ... then i cut fresh tomatoes in circles and for my dh we take the seeds out as he believes their not good for the stomach ...and i place these around the dough and into the middle .... now what make this pizza it i place sardines that have been salted and the salt remains on it  this i open and take the bones out and tear it  into little pieces and place aound the pizza when finished place in oven till dough is cooked then take out and brush some oil normal oil over the top and cut and eat ... believe you...

Asalam wa alikum So as you know i`m not really one for baking ... but when a good recipe comes my way i must tell you about it I have had this recipe for a while and never got around to trying it so as i was making my muffin bread i thought let me try this one ... Its a french loaf and so simple and easy 2 cups of water (warm) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp of yeast instant 2 tbsp of salt ... i felt it was a bit too much so i reduced it to 1 2 tbsp of oil (veg) 5 cups of flour mix well and knead dough then allow to rise punch back the dough then place on a tray allow to rise again and place in a hot oven it takes about 20 mins or so and masha`allah what a lovely bread we toasted it and had butter and jam for breakfeast enjoy and let me know how it works out
