Flaming Greek Cheese (Saganaki) image

This flaming cheese ritual was started by restaurateurs in Chicago, who encouraged customers to yell, 'Opa!' as the plate was being ignited. You can recreate the tradition at home in minutes, whether you'd like to spark up a little romance with an old flame on date night or just try a fast and fun cheese dish on a chilly weeknight. Serve with sliced fresh or grilled bread.

Time 13m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (4 ounce) package kasseri cheese
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons brandy, at room temperature
½ lemon, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Brush each side of the kasseri cheese with water. Dredge both sides in flour, making sure the surface is completely covered.
  • Preheat a well seasoned cast iron skillet on medium-high heat until smoking. Pour in olive oil. Carefully place the floured cheese in the hot oil. Cook until cheese begins to ooze and a golden brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Quickly flip cheese over with a spatula. Fry until bottom is golden brown, about 30 seconds more.
  • Remove skillet from heat and transfer onto a napkin-lined plate. Pour brandy over the cheese. Light the brandy using a fireplace lighter. Now you can exclaim "Opa!" and marvel at the fire. Squeeze some lemon juice on top to extinguish the last few flames and garnish with parsley.

Provided by AlaskaPam

Categories     Breads

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon oregano
3 1/2 ounces olive oil
1/2-1 cup water (as needed)

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a bowl and mix in the salt evenly. Mix the honey and the yeast with the 1/2 cup of water. Make a small dip in the center of the flour and add the yeast/honey water. Mix just a small amount of the flour into the yeast/honey water and cover the bowl and set it in a warm place for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, mix in the rest of the flour, along with enough additional water to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Mix the additional water in a little at a time. Gather the dough into a ball and turn it out onto a working surface and knead it until it is smooth and pliable (about 10 minutes).
  • Put the dough back in the bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until double in size.
  • Brush a shallow oven dish with oil and place the dough into it. Flatten the dough out with your hands, to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the dough and press it in with your fingers. Sprinkle the oregano evenly over the cheese. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil and pour the rest of the oil over the cheese.
  • Let the dough rise uncovered for 30 mins and place in a preheated 450 oven for 30 mins, or until it has a golden color.
  • Enjoy!

NO-KNEAD, EASY GREEK OLIVE BREAD



No-Knead, Easy Greek Olive Bread image

An quick bread that does not require any kneading or forming!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Bread

Time 45m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

1½ cups milk, lukewarm
1 envelope yeast
1½ tsp. sea salt
3 cups All-purpose, unbleached flour
¼-½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
1 TBSP. dried Greek oregano

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a glass measure and stir in the yeast until it dissolves. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • In a larger bowl, mix the flour and the salt and then add the milk and the yeast, stirring gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate. At this point, the dough will still be sticky - do not add more flour. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer equipped with a dough hook.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel, place it in a warm spot and let it rise for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375° F. Place a 12" cast iron skillet in the oven until it is very hot.
  • Add the extra virgin olive oil, the chopped olives and the oregano to the bread dough and mix well with a spatula, folding over the dough and scrapping the sides of the bowl, until well incorporated.
  • Carefully remove from the oven the hot pan, line it with a piece of parchment paper and immediately add the dough, spreading and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Transfer the hot pan to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until it is golden brown on the top and the bottom.
  • Remove from the oven and let the bread cool a bit in the pan. Lift the bread from the parchment paper and lace on a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cheese bread. Look for fresh, flavorful cheese, and use a good quality olive oil.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and give it a light and airy texture.
  • Bake the cheese bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
  • Serve the cheese bread warm. This is when it is at its best. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave if you need to.

Conclusion:

Greek Cheese Bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it plain, with herbs, or with vegetables, Greek Cheese Bread is sure to be a hit.
