(I assume this doesn't constitute that which Pop requested should not happen. If it does, let me know and I'll yank it.)

Edit: Turned this up in a google search. I don't know how it would work in pullapart recipe, but I don't see why it would be a problem, if it fulfills the kosher, non-dairy requirements. I don't honestly know if soy milk and margarine cause problems in that regard.

The soy milk and margarine are there specifically to avoid the dairy issue. ("Parve" means neither dairy nor meat; neutral.)

But [whine] then it's so much more work than using pre-made![/whine]

Might do it anyway. And thanks for the link! [Smile]

Pretty sure they're not kosher. And even if they were, definitely not parve.

No problem, rivka! [Smile]

I didn't know about parve; are there different spellings? (I notice the blog spells it "pareve"; I'm guessing it's probably just one of those words that have multiple spellings when translated into a different alphabet.)

Is it odd that I feel bad for religious people who aren't allowed to eat delicious food? It makes me a little bit sad inside, because I do so love delicious.

I'm religious and I eat delicious food. Kosher is not equivalent to not delicious.

And, Rivka, I'm wondering if you can use something like frozen challah dough instead of refrigerated biscuit dough.

You can get the six-pack of those "Challettes" and unwind each roll, cut the dough into the right-sized pieces, and use that.

Come to think of it, that may be even MORE delicious.

Not to say that religious people don't get to eat food that is delicious, just that there are other delicious foods that they might not be allowed to eat.

I enjoy kosher hot dogs a great deal. I may have some for dinner.

Mmmm, kosher hot dogs...

And yeah, I can completely see a pull-apart cake made with challah dough.

That DOES sound great, Tante! I am going to try the Challah in mine next time and I am not kosher! Where might I find Challettes?

Isn't Challah a yeast levened bread where as biscuits are generally baking soda levened. That doesn't mean the a Challah dough variety wouldn't be good, but it would definitely be very different.

Yup. "Parve" and "pareve" and "parev" and even "parv" (which makes me think of guys named Marv). That's the trouble with transliteration (from Yiddish and/or Hebrew, in this case).



Esther, that's very clever. Although I may wait until the Kineret challahs go on sale pre-Rosh Hashana, which I imagine they should do soon.


Rabbit, yes, it would be fairly different . . . and closer to the recipe I think I've made in the past, which was yeast-dough-based.


Mandy, you're looking for these. Any supermarket with a large Jewish population nearby would sell them, at least certain times of year (like now). I don't know where in Texas you are, but there are a couple stores in Dallas that I'd bet carry them.



Oh, and MC, if you are implying that horse meat is delicious I may be ill. How much do you like your shoes?

Try the Albertson's in Richardson if you are in Dallas. They had the best kosher refrigerator and freezer section of the supermarkets in Dallas that I've gone to. If they don't have them, they might know where to get them.

The only cinnamon pull aparts I've had were yeast risen.

Frozen challah dough is wonderful stuff.

I bake my own challah, completely by hand, with fresh yeast and all that. It is a fair amount of fuss to do.

But when I get lazy and use the frozen dough, that's when my family praises my challah as being extra good.

And the strange thing about the frozen dough is that it comes out completely different depending on the baker. You can have 10 people using identical frozen challah dough and have 10 very different end results. It's like magic dough.

Four words:

Pigs in a blanket.

Though, I suppose they'd be "Cows in a blanket" in this case.

I don't know about horse meat, but the French seem to like it. Pork is delicious though, as is lobster.

My food restrictions are something like, "Is it technically still alive? Is it delicious? Can I have seconds?"

We love those. We call them "little hot dogs wrapped in dough." Or "franks in jackets." My local kosher Chinese restaurant makes a version wrapped in egg roll wrappers. I call those "franks in Mao jackets."

That Chinese place we went to in NYC had those too.

I still think they're weird.
