Mix 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons semolina, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, sugar, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk in oil, egg, and egg white. Stir in warm milk slowly until a liquid dough forms. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap; let stand at room temperature until frothy, about 1 hour. Stir in 2 3/4 cups flour with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Cover again and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over the dough and your hands. Mix dough, adding flour as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Shape into a round loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place until loaf doubles in volume. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Beat egg yolk and water in a bowl with a fork; brush over the entire surface of the loaf. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds on top. Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Cook fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. In a pan, sauté sliced chicken in butter until fully cooked. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Combine the Alfredo sauce with cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Cook linguine pasta according to package instructions. In a skillet, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque. Pour in white wine and lemon juice. Simmer until the sauce slightly thickens. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss cooked linguine in the shrimp scampi sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Arrange alternating slices of tomatoes and fresh mozzarella on a serving platter. Tuck fresh basil leaves between the slices. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately as a refreshing salad.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown. In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top each toasted baguette slice with the tomato-basil mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
If you order kumpir in Turkey, the standard filling is first, lots of butter mashed into the potato, followed by cheese. There’s then a row of other toppings that you can just point at to your heart’s content – sweetcorn, olives, salami, coleslaw, Russian salad, allsorts – and you walk away with an over-stuffed potato because you got ever-excited by the choices on offer. Grate (roughly – you can use as much as you like) 150g of cheese. Finely chop one onion and one sweet red pepper. Put these ingredients into a large bowl with a good sprinkling of salt and pepper, chilli flakes (optional).
Preheat your oven's broiler. Place red bell peppers and tomatoes on a baking sheet, and roast under the broiler for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally. This should blacken the skin and help it peel off more easily. Cool, then scrape the skins off of the tomatoes and peppers, and place them in a large bowl. Remove cores and seeds from the bell peppers. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapenos and garlic, and cook until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and transfer the garlic and jalapeno to the bowl with the tomatoes and red peppers. Using two sharp steak knives (one in each hand), cut up the tomatoes and peppers to a coarse and soupy consistency. Stir, and set sauce aside. Place the semolina in a large bowl, and stir in salt and 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Gradually add water while mixing and squeezing with your hand until the dough holds together without being sticky or dry, and molds easily with the hand. Divide into 6 pieces and form into balls. For each round, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Roll out dough one round at a time, to no thicker than 1/4 inch. Fry in the hot skillet until dark brown spots appear on the surface, and they are crispy. Remove from the skillet, and wrap in a clean towel while preparing the remaining flat breads. To eat the bread and sauce, break off pieces of the bread, and scoop them into the sauce. It will slide off, but just keep reaching in!
Wash the fish under the cold tap. Roll in the flour and deep fry in oil until crispy. Lay on kitchen towel to get rid of the excess oil and serve hot or cold with a slice of lemon.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Pour in the milk and stir until combined. Then roll the mixture into a ball and lightly knead until it comes together. Break off about 10 pieces of dough and form them into balls. Set them aside. In a 10-inch skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to fry the dumplings, until the oil is about 350 degrees. Once the dumplings are browned on one side, flip them and cook until both sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes each. Once done, remove the dumplings from the oil and place them on paper towels or a cooling rack to drain off any excess oil. Serve and enjoy.
