We buy 2 Gilthead Seabreams, 500grams each. The fisherman prepares and cleanses the fishes for us. At home, we clean in with water in the sink thoroughly and into the slits, the fisherman opened.
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius and place the fishes on a greased baking pan,also oil the top of the bream with extra virgin olive oil and salt it with coarse sea salt and add also a little red pepper. In 50 minutes to 1 hour are the breams (half a kilo each) ready and we serve them with lemon, extra virgin olive oil and parsley (optional).

Ingredients:
500 grams hard flour
8 g dry yeast
1 teaspoon mahlep(mahaleb)
1 teaspoon ground kardamom(kardamon)
250 ml milk
30 grams sheep butter
30 grams cow butter
120 grams sugar
zest of one organic lemon (not waxed)
2 eggs and 1 more for spreading
Running:
Put the flour, yeast, sugar, mahlep, kardamom, lemon zest, eggs in the blender . Then, after I melted butter, mix together with the milk and after the mixture cools(to avoid yeast burning)add it in the mixer as well. I use the hook accessory for mixing. As soon as the dough wrapps around the hook or when it peels off all the walls of the basin, it means that my dough is ready. Let it rise in the basin of my mixer covered for 2 hours (almost triples) and after kneading again with my hand to remove the air in it, give to the dough the form of a the ball and place it in the middle of a large greased round pan or Pyrex. Let the dough for another hour to rise and cover it afterwards with the help of a brush with a raw egg before I put it in the preheated oven. Bake the cake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Once you remove it from the oven sprinkle it with icing sugar, candy or covered it with glaze after cooling or Sugarpaste (see recipe on my site)

The recipe is for 300 grams minced meat and 12 cannelloni:
Roast the ground beef in extra virgin olive oil and then add 1 chopped onion. I continue to mix until the minced meat becomes light brown and add 2 chopped tomatoes without the peel, salt and pepper. I can also add 1-2 pinches cinnamon powder. Once the minced meat is ready add cheese that melts easily and stir.
The bechamel sauce is made with 2 cups whole milk and 3 table spoons of Cornstarch. In a glass of tea mix a little cold milk with the cornstarch and warm the remaining milk at low heat in a saucepan, stirring frequently to avoid burning it. As soon as milk starts boiling pour in the mixture of the cold milk and cornstarch, and keep stirring until the mixture starts to thicken . Once thickened pour in 2 table spoons of cow butter and some salt.
Grease the pyrex or baking pan with extra virgin olive oil and pour some bechamel sauce to cover the bottom of the pyrex. I place the stuffed cannelloni(do not boil them) with minced meat-cheese mixture kim without touching each other to avoid sticking during cooking. Cover them with the rest of the bechamel sauce and tomato juice to avoid drying out during cooking and add some Parmesan on top. Bake at 185 degrees Celsius in preheated oven for 20-30 minutes.
(For the filling with cheese and ham, mix in it a little sauce to homogenize them, the remaining steps are the same.)

The recipe is the same with pop cakes, which I have already posted. Instead of butter use peanut butter. For the coating, warm in a heatproof bawl candy melts for 2-3 min. in 200 Grad Celsius in your over and stir them with a spoon. Roll the sweet balls in and you are ready. Use any color of candy melts you want. If you don’t have candy melt, melt some chocolate in the same way after you chop it into pieces. Before the coating cools sprinkle some candy on top.
