03-27 Jessie's Multi Grain Bread

Feel free to halve this recipe it makes a lot.
You need 9-10 C Grains, but you use half at a time.
The grains can be in any combination or without one of them.
This is the bread we ate with the amazing soup.

Mix together grains:
(5 whole wheat flour, 1 c oats & ¾ c flax seeds processed in blender, 3 c white flour)
Put half of the grains (5 c) in large mixing bowl with:
2-3 T yeast
½ c nonfat dry milk
Combine and add and mix 1-2 minutes:
3 c warm water
2/3 c canola oil
½ cup agave nectar or honey
Let rest 10 minutes for yeast to sponge. Then add:
4 large eggs
4 t salt
Add remaining
5 c flour, a little at a time
until dough starts to pull away from sides of bowl.
Knead with countertop mixer or by hand for 5-6 minutes until dough is very soft.
It will still be sticky but stiff enough to shape into a loaf.
Bake or cover tightly and store in refrigerator up to two days.

Lightly oil hands and shape into rolls or loaves.
Let rise until very light (almost doubled in size).
Bake on pizza stone or silpat for best results.
Bake: 350˚ 18-25 minutes according to the size of your loaf

Sprinkle grains on top of loaf.
Or slit diagonal for oo la la.
If you want a crunchy outer layer, spray with water every 5 minutes or so during baking.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
