Grape mood


Hello!Today I tried a new recipe;)It is grape focaccia,a kind of Italian pastry.We enjoyed it so much and I decided to share with you!Sure you would like to see the recipe and try to bake it!Here we go!!!

For filling:
Sugar 100 g
Black grapes 800 g
Olive oil extra virgin 8 tbsp
For the bread dough:
Flour 500 g
Water 300 ml
Yeast 12 g (fresh)
Malt (or honey, sugar) 1 tsp

To prepare the grape focaccia, begin by making the bread dough: dissolve the yeast (1) and the malt (2) in a little lukewarm water (taken from the total amount needed), mix and let it rest for a few minutes. In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the sifted flour with the yeast and malt mixture (3)

and start beating, adding the remaining water in a thin stream (4). When it forms a smooth and soft dough, transfer to a floured pastry board and knead quickly with your hands (5). Form into a ball, place in a bowl, covered with cling film (or with a clean, damp cloth) and let it rise for a couple of hours in the turned off oven, with the light turned on: it should double in volume (6).


When the bread dough has risen, return to the mixer and beat for another 5 minutes, adding ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar and 4 tablespoons of oil (7) (if you prefer, you can knead by hand). Now wash the grapes under cold running water (8) and remove from the stems (9).

Divide the bread dough into 2 parts and roll them out with a rolling pin to a thickness of ½ inch (1 cm) (10). Brush a 12x15-inch (30x40 cm) baking pan with oil (11-12);

place the first sheet of dough on the bottom of the pan, top with half of the grapes (13), sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar (14) and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (15).


Now place the second sheet of dough on top (16), add the remaining grapes, then sprinkle with sugar (17) and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake your grape focaccia in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50-60 minutes (18); once cooked, let it cool and serve sliced.

I took the recipe from Giallo Zafferano app, I find it really exciting and very useful!


More sweet inspiration...

Then I went to a cafe with my friend Polina.Then one friend of ours phoned us and invited to join the company,so, our friends had been waiting for us in the park,not far. We had a nice time,we laughed, joked...Everything was great!

Sweet buzzing day



Hello my dear readers!Today I woke up alone and stayed at home all the morning.My mom and my brother Georgios left very early,so I had nothing special to do.Finally I cooked these nice biscuits!!
Here's the recipe!
For 25-30 biscuits:
200 g butter
270 g floor
100 g sugar
1 egg (only white)
20 g unsweetened cacao

Firstly you'll need to mix all the butter with 250 g of the floor.You can also help yourself with a tablespoon.Then you should put the sugar into the mixture and mix again.Divide the mess into 2 parts and roll them a bit.Put the rest of the floor into one of them and also put the cacao into this part.Roll them just a little and cover with a food film.
Put them into the fridge for at least one hour.Then take them out and roll to make them long lists, but not too thin.Grease the white one with the egg white and then put the brown one on it.You may cut the places which are useless and don't fit. Roll two lists in order to make them like a "sausage".Cover this "sausage" with a food film and put into the fridge for at least one hour.
Take it out of the fridge and cut into thin biscuits.Preheat the oven 180°C.Put your biscuits into the oven and bake them about 15-18 minutes.
Have a good tea time!!



Then when my brother came we decided to visit our cousin Elya who lives got so far but we had had so e months to see her...All her family was at home and we had a great time seating at the table with the biscuits baked by me and those which they had bough while their trip to Venice.Both kinds of sweets were delicious:)
When Georgios and I wanted to leave Elya and her little son led us to the underground station.While we were walking there,the kid was driving his little bicycle and we were talking.By the way,my hospitable cousin gave us some great delights to take with us...Mmm,what a pleasure they are...



It didn't take long to get home.By the time we came our Dad had already been at home:)
I love my family.
Bye bye!My Chocolate Novelt

Pasta&planets weekend

Hello!It's finally Sunday, though I'm on holidays now,I was waiting for this day because...My cousin and I decided to go Moscow Planetarium.We were there about two months ago but it was so interesting...
By the way,today I cooked a delicious kind of pasta with tomatoes,cheese and aromatic herbs...



Here it is!Isn't it nice looking?
And then our Planetarium adventure started... 



Here are my brother (left) and my cousin (right) just entering the Planetarium.We three usually go out together,it seems like we are a cool company!



We arrived there in the evening,but it wasn't too dark so...I hope it's possible to see something on the photos:)This place is on the roof of one of the halls.It's just like balcony
We also saw a wonderful film Shawn with a special projector.So, you feel like you're watching the night sky full of stars...To tell the truth the sky in Moscow region is never clear and it's not possible to see any stars.Very sad indeed,when I was younger I dreamed to watch the stars but I was never able to.
The film lasted about an hour,not more.Then we got into on of the Moon halls and view some exciting experiments there.They all were connected to science,and each one was something new...I lovespending time with Georgios (my brother) and Maxim (my cousin)



By the way,when we were just finishing our exursion my dad phoned me and told there was a terrible rain outside and we had to stay inside...But still,we got out,though it was already dark and really raining,we ran quickly to our car and....drove home.
A bit tired,but not exhausted,just happily tired with pleasant reflections.What can I say.I'll be looking forward to having such nice going out again:)
And some photos and a new look 



I'm wearing: 
Clark's shoes
T by Alexander Wang crepe shorts
Mango t-shirt
Piccard leather tote bag
Swarovski earrings

Bye bye!!Kisses!
