Lebanese Wrapper Bread

By · On Sep 29, 2007 · Comments (0)

This is lavosh—large, thin, flexible Middle Eastern flat breads, made from a strong, yeasted wheat dough. They’re used for scooping or wrapping up vegetable or bean dips, salads, or kebabs. You can bake them either on a sheet in a hot oven or on top of the stove, draped over an inverted wok or on a griddle if the breads are small enough to fit. As with pita, the yeast in this dough contributes to its flavor and texture; the bread doesn’t rise when baked. From Breadtime: A Down-to-Earth Cookbook for Bakers and Bread Lovers by Susan Jane Cheney.

Tempeh

By · On Jul 30, 2004 · Comments (0)

Tempeh, a traditional Indonesian food, is made of cooked and coagulated soybeans. Sold in cellophane-wrapped packages, it’s even higher in protein than tofu. Tempeh is also quite versatile, but has a more distinct flavor and a dense, chewy texture. Though somewhat of an acquired taste, once you do, you’ll be a fan for life. Read More→
