St Phanourios Bread Fanouropita Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Procedure:
  • In a large, heavy bottomed saucean, combine all igredients listed from orange juice to cloves.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for exactly ten minutes -- any longer, and you'll have a good carmelized smelling door stop instead of a cake.
  • Set pot in cold water to cool mixture completely.
  • Sift into cooled syrup flour, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Beat vigorously for eight to ten minutes (Takes muscles! We use a wooden spoon for this.) or until batter is smooth and bubbly.
  • Stir in orange peel.
  • Turn into well greased 7 " fluted pan or 8" loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sesame seeds (optional; skip if you like).
  • Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Sprinkle with 1/4 cup brandy and cool cake in pan. Bring to church to have blessed, and then share with parishioners or the poor.
