- 3. Place dough on a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
- 4. Punch dough down; let rest 10 minutes. Shape into 12 equal balls; place in a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- 5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm. Great served with salads and soups- roasts and ham.
CUCUMBER NORI ROLLS
Steps:
- Sushi Zu Preparation:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil. Take off of the heat and allow to cool.
- Rice Preparation:
- Rice volume increases 2-2 1/2 times as it cooks. Almost all the short grain rice needs to be washed before cooking, because of the starch on the surface of each grain. If you cook rice without washing, starch makes the texture and taste less palatable. The following is the procedure to prepare rice:
- Wash rice with care, putting rice in a big bowl and washing gently with cold running water for 10 minutes. Drain rice in a big colander and dry for 20-30 minutes. Place washed rice and water into a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Allow to cook for 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Turn off heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Place in a large bowl and pour over Sushi Zu mixture.
- Sushi Preparation:
- Place 1/2 sheet of seaweed (nori) lengthwise, shinny side down on a bamboo roller. Place approximately 3 ounces of sushi rice formed into a bar in the center of the seaweed, going lengthwise, spread rice evenly, covering entire nori except for about 1/2 inch at the top edge. Spread wasabi thinly in the center, on top of the rice, lengthwise from one and to the other. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of rice, if desired. Then place a couple strips of cut cucumber in the center to fill the length of the roll.
- Bring seaweed and rice toward you to the edge of the bamboo roller and holding the edge of the bamboo roller with one hand and, holding the cucumbers in place with the other hand, lift up the edge of the mat closest to you. Begin rolling mat away from you, rolling over the cucumber and connecting rice to rice. Then stop to make sure you still have a 1/2 inch strip of just nori left over at the top (this is what seals the roll). Lift the edge of bamboo roller slightly and roll another 1/2 inch away from you connecting the seaweed to seaweed and sealing the roll.
- Gently squeeze both sides while pressing gently down on top with both index fingers. Cut roll in half, then turn one piece around so they are parallel to one another, line them up, then cut both pieces twice, to make 6 pieces. Cut remaining rolls and serve.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Ensure all ingredients are measured and prepared before starting. This will ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
- Cucumber Preparation: Shred the cucumber finely using either a box grater or a food processor fitted with the shredding disk. This will help release the moisture and distribute it evenly throughout the dough.
- Dough Consistency: The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water.
- Rising the Dough: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and develop its full flavor.
- Shaping the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Then, divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, spacing them evenly apart.
- Baking the Rolls: Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with additional garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This will enhance their flavor and give them a golden-brown crust.
