My new Kitchen helper

I have a bright new (and yellow) kitchen helper now.
It's a 48x38 cm silicone pastry board .Large enough for rolling evey pastry , too big for my oven.you can bake on this board or if you buy the smaller one it will fit your oven-up to 230 C . [made by tescoma]. It's an excellent product:
It sticks to your table, prevents the sticking of dough and pastry, easy to clean and store.This flexible board is provided with a grid (in cm) for easy measuring of the dough. משטח סיליקון צהוב לאפיה ורידוד-קניה מוצלחת-84 ש"ח בעדן טבע מרקטSo.. I was playing with this board last week, and 4 times yesterday.
You can find it in yellow, red , grey or brown (I like the red and yellow most )
My first try was with sugar cookies- here ,on left, a simple recipe but with a different taste .








Sugar Cookies - the recipe עוגיות סוכר טעימות להפליא
125 gr butter,softened חמאה
125 gr sugar סוכר

mix the instant coffee with the beaten egg until dissolves; brush the cookies with this glaze , bake for 10-15 minutes at 355F - 180C. cool on a rack.
We love these cookies , I hope you'll love them too.



My second try was making again these arabic bagels [here is the recipe]
It was very easy rolling the balls on this yellow board, without any need for flour around ! 
These bagels are best eaten fresh or can be frozen for few weeks.
On the next day I've got a small and sweet Note : "eat your sandwich early .. you've got cheese inside !"
So, after few hours at work I decided I need a short break.. here comes a BIG , yes very big surprise !
Take a look below, in the large photo is my opened sandwich, made by Ran:full with tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and mozzarella.wow !! , this one was great ! :-)


My third try on my new and yellow board was making bread.kneading and rolling the 2 loaves.
No, not a new bread recipe this time... but the old and favorite one [here is the recipe] לחם שליש מלא מצויין-בצילום דקות לפני אפייתו- מתכון שהובא לרשת ע"י אמירה ממטעמים
It's the most easy bread recipe, very very tasty, on left is one of the unbaked loaf.
This bread has a light brown color and 30% whole wheat flour. we have here, in Isreal some sorts of this flour, so , everytime I got another taste..but always wonderful !
This weekend I've got a phone call, this time it was my dear mom, and she told me.."Dad says it's the most tasty bread ever..! " ; Yes it makes me very happy. I love giving aways breads/cakes/cookies.. to everyone I love, it's my pleasure evey time again . :-)
