Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

Beet and Feta Samosas : page 48

Seeing Kaye's note reminded me that I made these a while ago, so here's my review... I made mine quite a bit smaller than suggested and I found the smaller ones easier to wrap. I'm glad I made a few test samosas since I found that they lose their crispness quite quickly. To make them for guests I froze them overnight and cooked from frozen as directed. That worked very well and everyone liked them. They are quite fiddly to make so be sure to have a good block of time available to make these. Also, the leftover filling was very good as a side dish. Next I want to try them with golden beets from the garden. Overall, a really nice recipe that I've made quite a few times.
