I finally ordered the Culinaria - Greece. Not only does it contain wealth of information about Greece, it's culture and people, it contains wonderful recipes. PSOMI is a Greek bread recipe that got my attention. I added Fresh Black Cherries and homemade Almond Paste, Kalamata olives, and walnuts. The bread turned out wonderfully tasty. The original recipe is intended for the plain bread, but I have so much wonderful ingredients in the pantry, and I got tempted to add them. They turned out great.
Two different portions.
Kalamata Olives, Almond Paste, and Walnuts.
Fresh Black Cherries, Almond Paste.
Let it rise side by side in a large loaf pan with another loaf pan as a cover.
The secret!! when you bake the bread this way, you don't need to Spray the oven with water bottle to create the STEAM!. It's taken care of by the cover on the top!
When the bread is taken out. The top crust is very hard.
Let it sit for about 15 minutes. The steam from inside the bread soften the outer crust to a nice formed crust as the bread cools.
