Hungarian Christmas Bread
1 package Dry yeast
1 tsp Sugar
2/3 cup Warm water
1 cup Butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Grated lemon peel
1/4 cup Nonfat dry milk
2 1/2 To 3-1/2 cups unbleached
-flour
1 cup Ground poppy seeds
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Milk
GLAZE:
1 Egg beaten with 1 tsp wat


In a small cup, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water. Let stand
for a few minutes. Meanwhile, combine the butter, sugar, salt, 1
tbsp lemon peel, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Then add 2-1/2 cups
of flour alternately with the yeast mixture. Blend the dough well.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Knead for about 10 minutes
until the dough is smooth and not sticky. Add more flour as
necessary. Put the dough into a greased bowl, turning so the top is
greased. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk,
about 1 hour. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Combine
the poppy seeds, sugar,raisins, milk, and the rest of the lemon peel
in the top half of a double boiler. Cook it over hot water until the
mixture is of spreading consistency. Stir constantly. It should
thicken in about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room
temperature. Punch the dough down,divide in half, and roll each
piece into a long rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the filling
on top of each piece, then roll up. Pinch the seams together so the
filling can't come out. Place the rolls on a large greased baking
sheet and brush with the glaze. Cover the rolls with wax paper laid
across water glasses so the paper doesn't touch the dough. Let rise
again for 30 minutes. Apply a second coat of glaze. Bake the loaves
in a preheated 325 F oven for about an hour. If the top browns too
rapidly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Cool on a wire rack. Makes
2 loaves.

Dieting made easy

If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and also develop your overall healthiness, without doubt you really should follow a thoughtfully planned sensible weight loss program. If possible, this should incorporate 5 standard portions of fruit/vegetables a day and also include the correct blend of crucial nutrients.

In planning a daily routine, it is important to attempt to decrease consumption of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.

Dieters far too often look at supermarket and branded products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is ordinarily a mistake, for a food product may be significantly reduced in fats, but also high in carbs & calories.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. At times in the course of a busy day, you believe you are peckish but in actuality you simply need a restorative glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of being thirsty and hungry are close, but one of the two results in weight gain and the alternative is healthy.

Rather than focusing on the types of food that you really should eliminate from your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you can add to your meal plan. If you are able to bring in the recommended portions beneficial pulses and vegetables into your diet, you'll soon find that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased probability of being tempted by those detrimental mid-afternoon biscuits.
