Back home in Sweden if you want to buy a pizza it’s not like buying a pizza here in the States.

Here you buy it in slices or a bigger pie that is cut in slices, well in Sweden we buy a pie and that pie is for one person and we don’t usually cut that pie in slices, we eat it with a knife and fork…..and we get pizza sallad with it which taste soooo good….yummy.

Ok so now you can make your own pizza sallad by following my recipe here:

If you want to convert the measurments you can use http://www.OnlineConversion .com

This is what you need :

5 cups boiled water

½ cabbage

1½ deciliter (0.6 cups) vegetable oil

5 table spoon white wine vinegar

½ deciliter (0.2 cups) water

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoon oregano

2 teaspoon salt

1 pinch or black pepper.

Do like this:

If you have a cheese shredder (shown in picture) use that to shred the cabbage, if not cut it into very thin long pieces.

Boil the water, put the cabbage in a strainer and pour the hot water over it, sometimes i even put the cabbage in a big bowl and pour the hot water in there and let it sit for a few minutes and then pour everything in a strainer. I want the cabbage to become soft. When done put the cabbage back in a bowl.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, pour the dressing over the cabbage and mix them all together very well.

Put it in the fridge until it’s time to eat. This sallad last for about 5-7 days and it taste better if you let it stand for a while before eating it the first time.

I hardly ever follow recipes 100% so if you are like me you can add more of the ingredients for more taste. I also sometimes add roasted red peppers that i cut in small pieces, it’s really good.

Enjoy!

Saffron Buns also called Lussekatter in Swedish

Here is the recipe in both Swedish and English!

www.onlineconversion.com is a site where you can convert all kinds of measurements

Dough;

1gram saffron ( it usually comes in 1/2gram, you can use only a 1/2gram if you are not too fond of saffron or don’t know if you like it or not)

10.5 table spoons (1.3 stick/ 150 grams) of margarine

0.6 cup (1.5 deciliter) of sugar

2.1 cup (5 deciliter) of milk

1.8 oz yeast (50gram, i prefer fresh but powder is ok as well)

1/2-1 teaspoon salt

5.9-6.3 cups (14-15 deciliter) of flour

1 egg ( more fluffy dough but you don’t have to have an egg in)

1 egg for “painting” the “lussekatt”

raising for decoration

1. Melt butter or margarine in a pan and add the milk and the saffron.
2. Warm the mixture to 37 oC (100 oF).
3. Use a thermometer; the correct temperature is important!
4. Pour the mixture over the finely divided yeast; then add the remaining ingredients (except for the egg and the raisins), which should have a temperature of 21-23 oC (72-75 oF).
5. Mix into a smooth dough.
6. Cover the dough with a piece of cloth and let it rise for 30 minutes.
7. Form each bun into a string, 15-20 cm long, then arrange the string in a suitable shape, e.g. an S or double S. Regardless of the shape, the ends of the string should meet.
8. Press a few raisins into the dough.
9. Cover the”Lussekatter” with a piece of cloth and let them rise for 40 minutes.
10. Whip the egg together and paint the”Lussekatter” with the mixture.
11. Bake them for 5-10 minutes in the oven at 250 oC (475 oF) until golden brownish yellow.

ENJOY and Happy Lucia!

In Swedish

Lussekatter
Deg:

1g (2 paket saffran)

150g margarin

1 1/2dl socker eller vit sirap

5dl mjolk

50g jast

1/2-1tsk salt

14-15dl vetemjol

1 agg ( for porosare deg)

1 agg till pensling

1dl russin

Stöt saffranet fint med en sockerbit i mortel, häll lite av mjölken i morteln. Smält margarinet
i en kastrull, tillsätt resten av mjölken och värm till 37 grader. Dela sönder jästen i en bunke, rör ut jästen med lite av degspadet, blanda i resten av degspadet, det lösta saffranet, salt, socker/sirap och nästan allt mjöl i jästbunken. Spara lite mjöl till utbakningen.

Arbeta degen slank och smidig så att den släpper från kanterna, jäs under bakduk i ca 30-40 min och sätt på ungnen på 225-250 grader.

Knåda degen smidigt på mjölat bakbord, baka ut degen till lussekatter och lägg på plåtar med bakplåtspapper, låt jäsa under bakduk 30-40 min.

Tryck ner russin som garnering när bröden jäst klart, pensla med uppvispat ägg. Grädda i mitten av ugnen tills de fått fin färg, ca 5-10 min. Låt svalna på galler under bakduk.

Hoppas det smakar o Glad Lucia!

Ok, so my coffee machine broke…..bummer….so I started to buy coffee at Dunkin Donuts every morning since it’s just around the corner from where I live….plus I LOVE their coffee….

….but I have ALLOT of coffee, 7 (2lb 7oz) containers of coffee at home so why spend $2.10 every morning at Dunkin Donuts when I have coffee at home?!…oh well, I was just to lazy to go and buy a new coffee machine so I just came up with a way on how you can brew coffee without a coffee machine, so if you don’t have a coffee machine, are really desperate for coffee and lazy like me to not go out and buy a new coffee machine…here you go….:-)

Enjoy!
