Grandma Bavetz' Potica

After sending out a request for who had it, Auntie Fannie sent me Grandma Bavetz' recipe. And then I misplaced it. So here it is.

 Dough
1 Cup milk
1 Egg yolk
3/4 stick Margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 pkg dry yeast
1 teaspoon Sugar
3 Cups flour

 Directions

 Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm milk. Heat remaining milk to melt margarine in it, put in large bowl. Add sugar, salt and egg yolk. Mix together. Add yeast. Add flour and mix, scraping sides of bowl with fingers, adding extra flour if needed to knead dough until dough does not stick to bowl. Set dough aside to raise while mixing filling.

 Filling

 2 Cups shelled walnuts
6 large graham crackers
1 1/2 sticks Margarine 
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 Cup sugar 
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

 Directions

 Grind walnuts and graham crackers together. Melt butter in large saucepan, add lemon juice and cinnamon. Mix together well. Add ground nut mixture and mix well. Add beaten eggs, egg whites and sugar. Mix well. (you don't want lumps or unmixed ingredients)

Roll out dough thin, but not very thin. Spoon filling on top and spread to cover dough. Sprinkle raisins over filling, if you want. 
Roll up jelly roll fashion. Place in greased pan and let rise, for about 1/2 hour or until double in size. 

 Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes until golden.

Cassoulet

It's been quite awhile since I last put together a batch of Cassoulet. So much so that I have forgotten it was an all day thing, even using the quick soak method for dried beans. While they are getting cool enough to place in the fridge, I will post the recipe here. As with the previous post regarding Bean Prep, this recipe also comes from the Northarvest. As will the next one. That's because, of the five recipes listed in it, these two are the only ones I ever really enjoyed. CASSOULET Ingredients: 1 Pound Navy Beans (or your own combination of beans equal to one pound) 1/2 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder 5 Cups Water 4-5 Slices Bacon, diced 1 Medium Onion, diced 2 Carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 Bay leaf 1 Tablespoon Parsley 1 Tablespoon Celery Leaves or seeds 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper (either ground or fresh grind) 1 Pound Polish (or Italian or Chicken Sausage)  1 1/2 Pounds Ham Directions: Soak beans. Drain beans; discard soak water...
