Sesame and poppy seed cheese bread sticks

Today I decided to prepare for supper cheese bread sticks.

For the dough:

One cup milk, one teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 and ½ cups all purpose flour, one teaspoon dried yeast. Add 3 tablespoons of sour dough starter. Knead for 10 minutes to form a smooth ball. Add some drops of water for softness. Let it rise for an hour (or hour and a half) until it doubles in size.

Prepare a cookie sheet, lightly butter it and dust it with flour. Cut a handful of dough and stretch it to an about 1/3 inch thick oval the size of a palm. Brush the edges with a beaten egg white. In the center put generously crumbs of feta cheese. Pinch the ends together to seal it from all sides and to form a cylindrical shape. Lay with the seal down on the floured surface. The dough will make about 12 such sticks. Mix the yolk of the egg with 1 teaspoon olive oil and stir well. Bruch the tops of the breads with this emulsion generously. Sprinkle poppy seed or sesame seeds on top. Then let it rise for another ½ hour.

In the meantime preheat the oven to 400F. Bake for 15 min then increase the temperature to 450F and bake for more 5-7 min until golden brown color. Take out and let them cool for 20 min. Serve with salad.

Baked tilapia

For dinner today I cooked tilapia. Usually I fry it, but this time I did it differently. Here is my recipe:

Preheat the oven to 420F. Line a baking dish with foil and put it in the oven to preheat it too.

After that put one tablespoon of olive oil on the foil and spread it uniformly. Dry the fish with paper towel and put it on the foil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and fresh rosemary. Cover with thinly sliced onion and lemon rings. Sprinkle some olive oil on top. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes. Next, broil for 3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle a little paprika. Serve.

Eat and enjoy. Good with crusty bread and cabbage salad.
