CHALLAH I

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over barely warm water. Beat in honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt. Add the flour one cup at a time, beating after each addition, graduating to kneading with hands as dough thickens. Knead until smooth and elastic and no longer sticky, adding flour as needed. Cover with a damp clean cloth and let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until dough has doubled in bulk.
• Punch down the risen dough and turn out onto floured board. Divide in half and knead each half for five minutes or so, adding flour as needed to keep from getting sticky. Divide each half into thirds and roll into long snake about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Pinch the ends of the three snakes together firmly and braid from middle. Either leave as braid or form into a round braided loaf by bringing ends together, curving braid into a circle, pinch ends together. Grease two baking trays and place finished braid or round on each. Cover with towel and let rise about one hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat the remaining egg and brush a generous amount over each braid. Sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 40 minutes. Bread should have a nice hollow sound when thumped on the bottom. Cool on a rack for at least one hour before slicing.

SPANAKOPITA

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, egg, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, non-stick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

HULA PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the crust: Add the chocolate sandwich cookies to a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the cookie crumbs to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie pan and use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to pack tightly against the bottom and sides of the pan. Freeze overnight.
• Make the ice cream dome: Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the ice cream to a large bowl and stir until it reaches a thick, frozen yogurt consistency. Add ½ cup of the macadamia nuts and mix until well combined.
• Line an 8-inch bowl with plastic wrap and grease with nonstick spray.
• Scoop the ice cream into the prepared bowl and smooth the top. Cover and freeze overnight.
• Remove the ice cream dome and chocolate cookie crust from the freezer. Unwrap the bowl with the ice cream and carefully place upside-down over the crust. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap. Freeze again while you make the fudge sauce.
• In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, ⅔ cup cream, the corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring to simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir to melt the chocolate chips. Chill the fudge sauce in the refrigerator for 60 minutes before using.
• Spread about 1 cup of the cooled fudge sauce over the ice cream dome. Freeze again until the fudge is firm, 30 minutes.
• Make the whipped cream: Add the remaining cup of heavy cream and the powdered sugar to a large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer on high speed until medium-stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
• Remove the pie from the freezer and cut into 6 slices. Garnish each slice with whipped cream and the remaining macadamia nuts.
• Enjoy!
