<p>Pasha is a traditional Finnish Easter dish, especially in the eastern parts of the country. It was brought here by the    				 				Russian Orthodox church hundreds of years ago, and is eaten to celebrate the end of the lent. You may know pasha with a little different name &#8211; pascha, pashka, or something similar. Pasha or ????? is a Russian word for Easter, originally from a Hebrew word pesah. The transliteration from Cyrillic alphabets explains the small variations in the name.</p>
<p>Pasha is really energy rich food &#8211; its main ingredients are quark (milk curd), cream, butter, eggs and sugar. Dairy animals produce milk fats whether you use them or not, so after the lent you had a surplus of cream. It was then used to make pasha. I&#8217;m referring to the days when agriculture was the predominating livelihood :)</p>
<p>Traditionally pasha is made in wooden, pyramid-shaped molds. Since Easter is the biggest holy day of the Russian Orthodox church, the molds are often carved with religious symbols such as XB, short for Hristos voskrese (???????? ????????) &#8211; Christ is Risen. The pyramid shape reminds of the Jews&#8217; slavery in Egypt.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Pasha</strong></p>
<p>250 g quark / curd cheese (in US, look for tvorog in Russian stores)<br />
50 g butter<br />
3 tbsp sugar<br />
1 dl raisins<br />
1/2 dl candied lemon zest (sukaatti, suckat)<br />
1/2 dl crushed almonds<br />
3 tbsp orange marmalade<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
1 tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)<br />
2 dl whipping cream</p>
<p>Unless you use Russian tvorog, put the quark or curd cheese in a coffee filter for 12 hours. During that time the liquid will separate which makes for a denser Pasha.</p>
<p>Mix sugar and butter until airy and smooth. In a separate bowl whip the cream. Add all the rest ingredients to the sugar and butter mixture, mix until smooth, and finally carefully add the whipped cream.</p>
<p>Pour the mixture in a double-layered coffee filter, and let stand in a fridge for 24 hours.</p>
<p>When 1-2 dl of liquid has dripped from the pasha in the fridge, tip it over on a plate and decorate with candied lemon zest and raisins.</p></blockquote>
<p>Kulitsa is also a Russian Easter dish, which is often eaten with pasha. It is a sweet, buttery, and incredibly tasty loaf, which is sliced like bread and and topped with heaps of pasha.</p>
<p>I urge you to try this, it is absolutely delicious!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Kulitsa</strong></p>
<p><em>(1 huge loaf or 2 smaller)</em></p>
<p>2 dl milk<br />
25 g fresh yeast or equivalent amount of dry yeast<br />
1/8 g saffron<br />
1 tbsp cardamom<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1 egg<br />
1 dl sugar<br />
2 tbsp candied lemon zest (sukaatti)<br />
1 dl raisins<br />
1/2 dl crushed almonds<br />
7 dl all purpose flour<br />
125 g butter</p>
<p>Make a dough (as you would for any bread/roll), and let it rise for 30 minutes.  Make one or two round loaves on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Decorate with dough strips, candied lemon and raisins (make e.g. letters XB).</p>
<p>Heat the oven to 180 C (355 F), but don&#8217;t let the loaves rise for longer than it takes for the oven to heat, otherwise they will loose their shape.</p>
<p>Bake for 30 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong></p>
<p>This is Anna&#8217;s version of the same recipe &#8211; the kulitsa is on the background but it&#8217;s really the star attraction here. Perfect for an artery-clogging Easter breakfast!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">Living in New York, Iâ€™m constantly homesick for good bread. In my neighborhood bodegas, the bread is suffocated in plastic; the sweet stuff comes from Entenmannâ€™s and would survive a nuclear winter. A Dominican bakery that is just a few blocks from us makes fresh pastries every day &#8211; unfortunately the bakers there are rather heavy-handed with artificial flavors and food colorings. â€œArtisanalâ€ breads are available in most gourmet markets &#8211; but that almost invariably means sourdough, which is not the flavor I look for in white bread. Besides, the entire concept of gourmet bread is just plain silly â€“ good bread should be available everywhere. The Greek bakeries in Astoria satisfy all my cravings and Portuguese bread canâ€™t be beat, but trips there involve subways, trains, or the snail-paced M60 bus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">I learned to bake yeast bread before I started grade school. Yeast-based breads take time: over the long and chilly President&#8217;s Day weekend, I finally decided to satisfy my cravings. Tartine Gourmandâ€™s <a href="http://www.beaskitchen.com/blog/2006/02/01/pourquoi-cet-amour-pour-la-brioche-why-this-love-for-brioche/">brioche pictures</a> inspired me to combine <a href="http://www.forums.supertoinette.com/recettes_27098.brioche_parisienne_de_saveur.html">French brioche</a> and <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouglof">kouglof</a> techniques with my Finnish <a href="http://koal.kpedu.fi/myfavouritemenu/menu/teemu.htm">pulla</a> heritage. This is the result:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"><strong>Brioche<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span class="postbody">(makes 5)</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">500 g all-purpose flour </span><br />
<span class="postbody">25 g bakerâ€™s yeast or one sachet of active dry yeast</span><br />
<span class="postbody">2 eggs</span><br />
<span class="postbody">100 g butter (at room temperature, cut into little pieces)</span><br />
<span class="postbody">1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span class="postbody">65-85 g sugar</span><br />
0.<span class="postbody">75 dl warm (but not too warm) milk<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">1 dl raisins<br />
2 tbsp dark rum<br />
a handful of almond slivers<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">one beaten egg for basting</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">Mix the flour and the active dry yeast. Add the warm milk,salt, sugar, and one of the eggs, mix vigorously. Add the other egg, knead for 5-10 min; then add the butter. (If you are using fresh baker&#8217;s yeast &#8211; my preference whenever available &#8211; crumble the yeast in tepid milk, then add salt, sugar, and flour.) Add a bit of flour or milk if the dough feels too dry or very runny. Knead until the dough separates from the bowl. Cover with a tea towel. If you let the dough rise overnight in the fridge, take it out to room temperature for at least 1.5 hours so that the dough reaches room temperature before you shape it. My favorite method is to fill the kitchen sink with hot tap water, put the bowl in the water (it will float): the dough will rise in 30-60 minutes.  Let the raisins soak in rum in the meantime.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down, and sprinkle it with a little extra flour to get a ball of dough that is not sticky. Roll out the dough into a rectangle â€“ in my minuscule Manhattan kitchen, I use a clean, lightly floured polyethylene cutting board to do this. Sprinkle the almond slivers and raisins (and possibly a bit of extra butter) on the top of the dough, and then roll up the dough in jellyroll fashion, starting from the longer side. Cut into six pieces. Butter a muffin tin (I used one that has six 9 cm / 3.5â€ cups). Put five pieces into the cups; if you wish to make Parisian-shaped brioche with small heads, cut the sixth piece into fifths, shape into balls, and fuse them on top of the bigger pieces. Baste with beaten egg and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake in 175 C / 350 F for about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm, perhaps with jam â€“ I ate mine with Swedish raspberry-blueberry preserves from the  IKEA in New Jersey.</span></p>

<p>Bloggaaminen on minulle keskeinen tapa pitÃ¤Ã¤ yllÃ¤ muutakin kuin Instant Messenger -kirjoitustyyliÃ¤  Ã¤idinkielellÃ¤ni joten en vielÃ¤ tÃ¤ysin luovu suomenkielisestÃ¤ postaamisessa.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Amerikassa asumisen tylsiÃ¤ puolia on hyvÃ¤n leivÃ¤n puute. Toki Suomessakin hukutamme loistavan leipÃ¤perinteemme aivan liian heppoisin perustein supermarkettien muovipusseihin, mutta koska kasvoin pullantuoksuisessa kodissa uuninlÃ¤mpimÃ¤llÃ¤ Elannon hÃ¤Ã¤limpulla, kunnon leipÃ¤Ã¤ tulee vÃ¤lillÃ¤ tuskallisen ikÃ¤vÃ¤. Hapankorppuja saa tÃ¤Ã¤llÃ¤ joka marketista, mutta hyvÃ¤ sekaleipÃ¤ ja usein ihan tavallinen valkoinen leipÃ¤kin ovat kiven takana. Gourmetmarketit myyvÃ¤t inhottavan hapantaikinapohjaisia patonkeja &#8211; 4-5 dollaria leivÃ¤stÃ¤ joka vanhenee pÃ¤ivÃ¤ssÃ¤ ei innosta. Makeat leivonnaiset ovat lÃ¤hikaupoissa ja parin korttelin pÃ¤Ã¤ssÃ¤ sijaitsevassa dominikaanileipomossa lÃ¤hinnÃ¤ ikisÃ¤ilyvÃ¤Ã¤ lajia. Suomalaiseen makuun tÃ¤ydellistÃ¤ vaaleaa leipÃ¤Ã¤ saa portugalilaisista leipomoista, mutta lÃ¤himmÃ¤t tietÃ¤mÃ¤ni ovat Mineolassa Long Islandilla ja Newarkissa New JerseyssÃ¤ &#8211; eli vÃ¤hÃ¤n kuin pitÃ¤isi junailla itsensÃ¤ HelsingistÃ¤ HyvinkÃ¤Ã¤lle jokapÃ¤ivÃ¤isen leivÃ¤n perÃ¤ssÃ¤. Huomattavasti lÃ¤hempÃ¤nÃ¤ &#8211; silti tukkoisen bussimatkan pÃ¤Ã¤ssÃ¤ &#8211; sijaitsevat Astorian ihanat kreikkalaiset leipomot.</p>

<p>En yleensÃ¤ osta banaaneita, koska pidÃ¤n niistÃ¤ melko kovina, ja suurin osa ehtii kypsyÃ¤ liian pehmeiksi ennen kuin muistan syÃ¶dÃ¤ viimeiset pois. KellÃ¤pÃ¤ ei olisi silloin tÃ¤llÃ¶in nurkissaan hieman ylikypsiÃ¤, ruskealaikullisia banaaneita? Seuraavan kerran kun mietit, mitÃ¤ tekisit niille kahdelle viimeiselle, muista tÃ¤mÃ¤ helppo banaanileivÃ¤n resepti.</p>
<p>BanaanileipÃ¤ ilmestyi amerikkalaisiin keittokirjoihin 1930-luvulla, kun leivinjauhe ja ruokasooda alkoivat yleistyÃ¤ kotitalouksissa. Vaikka modernit kohotusaineet olivat eurooppalainen keksintÃ¶, amerikkalainen Eben Norton Horsford kehitti jo 150 vuotta sitten <em><a href="http://www.clabbergirl.com/store/store.php?mode=brand&#038;brand_id=2">Rumfordiksi</a></em> nimeÃ¤mÃ¤nsÃ¤ leivinjauheen. Moni vanhempi ihminen Suomessakin puhuu vielÃ¤ &#8220;rumfortista&#8221;.</p>
<p>BanaanileipÃ¤ on siis koostumukseltaan kakkumainen, eli taikinaa ei vaivata muiden leipÃ¤taikinoiden tapaan.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>BanaanileipÃ¤</strong></p>
<p>70 g huoneenlÃ¤mpÃ¶istÃ¤ voita<br />
1,2 dl sokeria<br />
1,2 dl fariinisokeria, mittaa tiiviiksi paineltuna<br />
1 muna<br />
2 valkuaista<br />
1 tl vaniljauutetta<br />
2 kypsÃ¤Ã¤ reilun kaupan banaania<br />
4 dl vehnÃ¤jauhoja<br />
1 tl ruokasoodaa<br />
1/4 tl leivinjauhetta<br />
1/2 tl suolaa<br />
1,2 dl kermaa<br />
1,2 dl pÃ¤hkinÃ¤rouhetta</p>
<p>LÃ¤mmitÃ¤ uuni 175 asteeseen. Voitele ja korputa tai vuoraa leivinpaperilla suorakaiteen muotoinen vuoka (esim 10x30x7 cm).</p>
<p>Muussaa banaanit kÃ¤sin tai haarukalla pehmeÃ¤ksi mÃ¶ssÃ¶ksi. Murskaa pÃ¤hkinÃ¤t karkeaksi rouheeksi ja paista pannulla hetken aikaa, kunnes rouhe alkaa hieman ruskistua ja muuttuu aromaattiseksi. Sekoita jauhot, sooda, leivinjauho ja suola valmiiksi omassa kulhossaan.</p>
<p>Vatkaa voita omassa kulhossaan kunnes se muuttuu kuohkeaksi. LisÃ¤Ã¤ sokeri ja fariinisokeri ja sekoita hyvin. Sekoita joukkoon vaniljauute, muna ja valkuaiset. LisÃ¤Ã¤ banaanimÃ¶ssÃ¶ ja vatkaa nopealla asennolla puoli minuuttia. Taikina on tarkoitus jÃ¤ttÃ¤Ã¤ hieman muhkuraiseksi, joten laita kÃ¤sivatkain tai yleiskone syrjÃ¤Ã¤n tÃ¤ssÃ¤ vaiheessa . Liialla sekottamisella leivÃ¤stÃ¤ tulee muffinssimaisen kuminen.</p>
<p>Sekoita lastalla varovaisesti kÃ¤Ã¤nnellen jauhot ja kerma banaaniseokseen. Vuorottele jauhojen ja kerman lisÃ¤ystÃ¤ pari kertaa. LisÃ¤Ã¤ lopuksi pÃ¤hkinÃ¤rouhe samalla tavalla. Sekoita kunnes kuivat aineet ovat juuri sekoittuneet mÃ¤rkiin, ja taikina on vielÃ¤ hieman epÃ¤tasaista.</p>
<p>Kaada taikina tasaiseksi kerroksesksi vuokaan ja paista 55-60 minuuttia, eli kunnes keskelle tÃ¶kÃ¤tty tikku tulee ulos puhtaana.</p></blockquote>
<p>BanaanileipÃ¤ on hyvÃ¤Ã¤ lÃ¤mpimÃ¤nÃ¤, mutta erinomaista myÃ¶s kylmÃ¤nÃ¤ seuraavina pÃ¤ivinÃ¤, kun maut ovat ehtineet tasaantua.</p>

<p><em>Bagel </em>on yksi niistÃ¤ sanoista, joiden suomalainen kirjoitusasu on minulle tÃ¤ysi mysteeri. Baageli sopii jotenkin paremmin suuhun kuin lyhyen ytimekÃ¤s, ja varmasti oikeampi bagel. Lausuttuna ongelmaa ei ole, baagelia vaikkapa <a href="http://www.waynescoffee.se/finland/menu.php?sp=3">Wayne&#8217;s Coffeen</a> tiskillÃ¤ tilattaessa englantilaisesta Ã¤Ã¤ntÃ¤misasusta juontuva &#8220;beigeli&#8221; tuntuu tÃ¤ysin luontevalta.</p>
<p>Baagelit tunnettiin Puolassa jo 1600-luvulla, ja itÃ¤-Euroopasta tulleet juutalaissiirtolaiset toivat ne mukanaan Amerikkaan, missÃ¤ ne ovat nykyisin hyvin suosittuja. Kauppojen baagelihyllyt ovat todella runsaat, niitÃ¤ saa suolaisina ja makeina sekÃ¤ monella tavalla maustettuna.</p>
<p>Suomessa tilanne on valitettavasti toinen: juuri missÃ¤Ã¤n niitÃ¤ ei myydÃ¤. Kun kysyin muuten mainiosti varustetun lÃ¤hi K-supermarkettini leipÃ¤osaston vastaavalta mistÃ¤ niitÃ¤ voisi saada, hÃ¤nen vastauksensa oli: &#8220;Tosi moni on kysellyt baageleita, mutta en tiedÃ¤ mistÃ¤ niitÃ¤ saa. Olen soittanut kaikki lÃ¤hialueen leipomot lÃ¤pi, mutta kukaan ei tee niitÃ¤.&#8221; Ennen kauppakierrostani olin luonnollisesti googlannut Suomen baagelitilanteesta sen vÃ¤hÃ¤n mitÃ¤ siitÃ¤ on kirjoitettu. Tiesin, ettÃ¤ <a href="http://www.dennispizza.fi/eineksetbody.html">Dennis Bakery</a> leipoo baageleita Kaarinassa myÃ¶s pakasteiksi, ja ehdotinkin, ettÃ¤ kauppias ottaisi ne valikoimiinsa.</p>
<p>Useamman suurenkin kaupan kierrettyÃ¤ni olin jo vaipua epÃ¤toivoon, kunnes <a href="http://www.sello.fi/">Sellon</a> Prisman leipomosta vastattiin iloisesti ettÃ¤ kyllÃ¤ lÃ¶ytyy! &#8220;Ei tosin heti, mutta jos odotat 10 minuuttia, paistamme ne sinulle. Montako haluat?&#8221; Baagelit tulivat Tanskasta pakasteina, mutta olivat valmiina kaikin puolin maukkaita &#8220;everything&#8221;-mallisia, eli pÃ¤Ã¤llystetty ainakin seesamin- ja unikonsiemenillÃ¤ sekÃ¤ kuivasipuli- ja valkosipulirouheella. LÃ¤mpimien baageleiden huumaava tuoksu tÃ¤ytti auton kotimatkalla kasvattaen nÃ¤lkÃ¤Ã¤ entisestÃ¤Ã¤n. LempparitÃ¤ytteeni lox schmear syntyi nopeasti:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Lox Schmear Bagel &#8211; savulohibaageli</strong></p>
<p>2 everything-baagelia<br />
50 g Philadelphia Extra Light -tuorejuustoa<br />
1-1 1/2 tl kapriksia<br />
1 tl limen mehua<br />
1/4 tl suolaa<br />
1/4 tl valkopippuria<br />
persiljaa<br />
100 g kylmÃ¤savustettua (kirjo)lohta<br />
suolakurkkua<br />
1 pieni punasipuli</p>
<p>Pilko kaprikset ja persilja pieneksi silpuksi ja sekoita lusikalla tuorejuustoon limemehun, suolan ja valkopippurin kanssa kunnes tasaisen kuohkeaa. Halkaise baagelit kahtia ja sivele ensin puolet tuorejuustoschmearista alapuoliskolle. Aseta savulohiviipaleet ja ohuesti viipaloidut sipulirenkaat schmearin pÃ¤Ã¤lle, sivele loput tuorejuustosta ja viimeistele suolakurkkuviipaleilla. Paina pÃ¤Ã¤lipuolisko paikalleen ja tarjoile heti tai pakkaa vaikka evÃ¤Ã¤ksi tÃ¶ihin.</p></blockquote>
