Lagana (Greek Bread)

Monday was our Clean Monday or Ash Monday, and is the day we usually bake the Greek Bread “Lagana”. I am sure you have seen other photos of Lagana from other Food Bloggers that look gorgeous 🙂 (Great Work fellow bloggers!!) mine doesn’t look like much, I know, but it does taste very good. 🙂
Now, you might be wondering why my bread isn’t oval shaped, well like I have mentioned before my kitchen is quite small and I have very limited counter space. 🙂 (I don’t mind though I do my best with what I have). 🙂 So, I used a baking pan that I have and just used my fingers to push it out into a oval shape.
This bread is so thin that you can actually use it to dip into the delicious dips you enjoy eating, or you can spread your dip onto the Lagana. 🙂 or even make delicious thin sandwiches….:)

Pizza Bread Pizza Bread
Pizza is a common thing to eat when everyone gets together, right? I thought I could make a simple and easy pizza bread, so I gave this a try. I recommend it.Use whatever you like for the filling. Please adjust the baking time and temperature accordingly. It'll become a bit thin, but you can also bake this on a tray with baking paper. Please adjust the cooking time. If you like spicy foods, add tabasco sauce. For kids, eating it with ketchup is also delicious. Recipe by Renbasu cookpad.japan -

Bread Bread
I've been baking bread all my life. I was taught by my mother and grandmother. This is a recipe that has been consistently successful. This is my stripped down goto recipe. I can add sugar and have a great sweet bread that will even fry up as donuts. Or this recipe can have cheese and bacon bits incorporated into the dough for a savory bread that goes great with soups.

Tsoureki (Greek Easter Bread) Tsoureki (Greek Easter Bread)
Tsoureki (τσουρέκι) is a sweet yeast bread that is typically served at Easter. It’s similar to a brioche since the dough is enriched with eggs, milk, and butter. I made it for my family to enjoy for Christmas!My sister-in-law married a Greek man and now lives in Athens. My husband visited them recently and brought back a loaf of tsoureki for me. After one bite, I was determined to make it since it was delicious, and because we don’t have any Greek bakeries nearby.There are three critical things to know about making authentic Greek tsoureki.1) In order to obtain the correct flavor, you need to use the specific Greek spices that are listed in step one of the recipe.2) Bread flour should be used in order to provide enough strong gluten for the dough to rise and achieve its fluffy, slightly stringy texture. If you use all-purpose flour, you’ll have to knead a lot longer to ensure sufficient gluten formation.3) Ensure that you set aside enough time for the dough to rise. Because the dough is very enriched and heavy, the yeast has to work extra hard, and the rises take quite a bit of time (which for me was 5 hours total). Be patient!I’m happy to say that the time and effort paid off. My tsoureki was the same flavor and texture as the one from Athens!! And although this is usually an Easter bread, it’s delicious enough to eat any time!This recipe was modified from Dmitra’s Dishes#Easter #Christmas #Holiday #Celebration #Special #Yeasted #Baking #Sweet Chris Gan -
