      Title: Italian Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 24 servings
  1 3/4 c  Warm water
      2 pk Active dry yeast
      2 ts Salt
  5 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
           Flour
  1.  Place 1/2 cup warm water in large warm bowl.  Sprinkle in yeast;
  stir until dissolved. 2. Add remaining water, salt, and 2 cups flour;
  blend well.  Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. 3.
  Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to
  8 minutes. 4. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.  Cover;
  let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20 to
  40 minutes. 5. Punch dough down.  Remove dough to lightly floured
  surface; divide in half. Roll each half to 12-inch circle.  Roll up
  each circle tightly as for jelly roll to make loaf.  Pinch seams and
  ends to seal; taper ends by gently rolling back and forth. 6. Place
  loaves, seam sides down, on large greased baking sheet.  Cover; let
  rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 20 to 40 minutes. 7.
  Lightly dust loaves with additional flour, if desired. With sharp
  knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes (1/4 inch deep) across top of
  each loaf. 8. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until done.
  Remove from sheet; let cool on wire rack.

Write your reply.

assistant: Jostein Mork, citing the Rules of Acquisition to Robert Desoto Holguin, said:
only
Pupusas are a dish from south of the border.  I know that
several places that make and serve them are specifically
labelled "Salvadorean" or "Salvadoreno", depending on the
language in which the sign is painted.
Pupusas seem to be made by mixing a batch of dough as for
corn tortillas, and filling a pocket of the dough with cheese
and other optional ingredients.  (I hear carnitas is quite
popular.)
These pockets are then sealed and pressed flat, and fried on
a griddle until the dough is cooked and the innards melted.
I don't have a recipe for the dough, but I suspect that would
be the only hard part.  Besides deciding what to fill the
dough with, that is.  :-)

Greetings From Sunny (IT'S A DRY HEAT!) Arizona,
I've been lurking around here for quite some time now and I'm in need
of some recipes. Right around the beginning of the year, on one of the
nets, I don't recall which one, someone posted recipes for Ostrich and
Emu. Well, to make a long story short, at the time, I didn't think I'd
ever want them, but things have changed...    SO:
IF ANYONE HAS ANY EMU OR OSTRICH RECIPES, PLEASE SHARE THEM WITH ME.
I have met a couple that are raising ostriches in their back yard. We
went over there a couple months ago, and tried the meat, which is
quite good, so I'm now in need of some different ways to prepare them.
Thanks in advance,                             EdK    Tempe, AZ.
