Soft and Chewy Balkan Bread
Pogacha is a type of bread baked in the ashes of a fireplace, and later on in the oven. This bread is found in the cuisines of the Balkans and Turkey. I found it after searching high and low for a great bread to bake for my homemade panini. I tried maybe a dozen bread recipes over the years just to get it right. I needed a bread that was light and airy that you could press using a panini press and wouldn't get too hard to chew or too thick to eat.
Chicken and Tamale Dumpling Soup
I created this recipe when I was craving chicken enchilada soup and chicken and dumplings at the same time. I decided to combine the ideas and used what was available in my pantry. My family and I were so pleased with the results. Serve with a bit of shredded cheese and sour cream as a garnish.
