Farfallina, your English is excellent.  Loved your blog and thought I would be able to copy some things once I converted it to English but no way could I follow the translation.  You could get a job anytime being a translator and do a far better job.  Would it be possible, when you have time please, to post translations of the following recipes from your blog.

Mushroom turkey, elvan girl soup, vegetable boereks, bread rounds ( salmon, spinach and walnuts), zucchini with garlic and parsley, soup of fresh and lastly flowers bakery.

Thank you  :-* :-*

Hi judydawn, I know that web translators don't work so well. As a matter of fact I've been thinking to translate some more recipes for the forum but hadn't decided until now. I start with the ones you've asked for. I've been away for the weekend and came back home today. I will add them asap

benvebuta bella.  Farfallina? because you flit around everywhere like a little butterfly?

I'd love to have a suocera like you - che fortuna.  :-* :-* :-*

Why Farfallina? I don't know. Maybe because I couldn't get "Thermomixer" and instead i got a piece of it? Farfalla=Butterfly  :D

Si, mia suocera is the best!  ;) You speak Italian?

@Thermomixer: Well... I live in Italy but my English is better than my Italian too :)

@achookwoman: Yes, it is soft but not sticky. You should divide and make rolls with no problem.

I must accept that she is an excellent cook! :)
However she doesn't have bimby. So I have my advantages as well!  ;)

Thank you Thermomixer
It's very easy and fast to do with such little ingredients
I haven't tried to make my own tomato paste with Bimby yet. Do you?

Well... i use 1/2 tbsp of pomegranate salad dressing with no additional vinegar, water or oil. It's a liquid salad dressing which is sweet-and-sour. I bought it from Turkey so I don't know how the ones you buy over there taste exactly.
You can simply skip using it. It's surely nice but not that indispensable. (You can add a bit more lemon juice instead)
At the end everything depends on one's taste. You can increase/reduce any ingredient as you wish

@Thermomixer: Thank you for the advises. I've never heard of putting them in the freezer to sharpen them! It's really good to know!

After getting feedback from you and vivacity about chickpeas, i sure will try next time to grind them with no worries

I've tried these too! Thank you for the recipe!
They are so delicious!

This is one of my favourite Turkish bread recipes. You can add/remove some ingredients. I sometimes use green olives instead of black ones, other times oregano instead of thyme.

I hope you like it.

Bread With Thyme, Olives and Sun-dried Tomatoes
Ingredients

75g pitted black olives
20g sun-dried tomatoes

130g milk
20g fresh yeast
400g plain flour
120g water (room temperature)
40g olive oil
15g honey
5g salt
1 tbsp thyme

Preparation:
Put black olives and sun-dried tomatoes in the TM bowl and proceed 5 seconds on Speed 4. Set them aside.
Warm milk for 30 seconds at 37° on Speed 1
Add the fresh yeast and mix for 4 seconds on Speed 4
Sift in flour. Add water, olive oil, honey and salt. Knead it for 5 minutes
Add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and thyme. Mix for 7 seconds on Speed 3
Cover a 11x30cm rectangle cake tin with wax paper (baking paper). Brush the paper a bit of olive oil.
Pass the dough in the cake tin and smooth it over nicely with a spatula (wet your spatula with water so it wouldn’t get sticky)
Let it rise for 1 hour.
Bake it in a 170°C preheated oven for 35-40 minutes
As soon as you take it out of the oven, brush it with very little olive oil
When it cools down for just a few minutes take it out of the tin. Do not let it stay in the tin any longer because it would get wet under.

Optional 1: You can put some chopped walnuts over the bread before you bake it.

Optional 2: You can add chopped walnuts also inside the dough together with olives and sun-dried tomatoes. It gives a darker color like whole-wheat flour.

Buon appetito

Gozleme? I love it too! I hope someday I add a nice recipe also for that.
I hope you like the biscuits as much as we do, be careful about the cornflour/cornmeal ingredient though. You will find the explanation in the post and comments
I am gonna pass your comments to my MIL  ;)

Hi again judydawn

As a matter of fact I used cornmeal for polenta since I live in Italy and it was just great. Here its called as Farina di granoturco or farina di mais. It shouldnt be parboiled kind though!

Thank you for the feedback and giving me the chance to clear this up

You are right. I checked it out on internet and there is a bit of confusion about it.
I guess the exact translation would be CORNMEAL.
I quote from Wikipedia: "Cornmeal is flour ground from dried corn. It is a common staple food, and is ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies. In the United States, the finely ground cornmeal is also referred to as cornflour. However, the word cornflour denotes cornstarch in recipes from the United Kingdom."

In Turkey it is yellow and used to make some kind of bread, cakes, cookies... etc
In Italy they often use it to make Polenta.

It looks yellow like in this photo: http://www.delallo.com/files/images/PolentaA.jpg

I believe that what you should use is "stone-ground yellow cornmeal"

I hope this works. I will change the name of this recipe not to let any misunderstandings. Because cornstarch and cornmeal are completely different!
