    Instructions

    Prepare the Eggs:

     

    1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and the yolks in another bowl.

    Beat the Egg Whites:

     

    1. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will create the fluffy texture of the cheesecake.

    Mix the Egg Yolks:

      1. In the bowl with the egg yolks, beat them until they are light and frothy.

     

    1. Add the cream cheese to the egg yolks and beat until smooth and well combined.
    2. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and continue to beat until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.

    Combine the Mixtures:

     

    1. Gradually fold the beaten egg whites into the cream cheese mixture. Do this gently to maintain the airiness of the beaten egg whites. Add the egg whites in small batches and fold until just combined.

    Prepare the Baking Pan:

      1. Line a 20 cm (8 inch) round baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil extends over the sides of the pan.

     

    1. Place the foil-lined pan into a larger baking dish.

    Bake:

      1. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan.

     

    1. Pour hot water into the larger baking dish until it reaches about 2 cm (1 inch) up the sides of the cheesecake pan, creating a water bath.
    2. Carefully place the baking dish on the lower rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Do not open the oven door during this time.

    Cool:

     

    1. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the oven door slightly open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 30 minutes to prevent it from cracking.
    2. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool completely in the pan.

    Serve:

     

    1. Once the cheesecake is completely cooled, remove it from the pan and aluminum foil.

    • With Sauce: Drizzle with a fruit sauce or chocolate syrup.
    • With Tea: Pair with a cup of green tea or coffee for a delightful treat.

    Cooking Tips

      • Egg Whites: Ensure the bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before beating the egg whites for best results.

     

    • Folding Technique: Fold the egg whites gently to retain the air and achieve a light, fluffy texture.

          • Mix the ingredients until they come together, then knead the dough by hand until it’s smooth and elastic.

         

      3. Incorporate the Butter:
          • Add 50 grams of softened butter to the dough.
          • Knead until the butter is fully incorporated and you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.

         

      4. Ferment the Dough:
        • Cover the dough and let it ferment for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

        • Add 1 teaspoon of tomato paste to the onions, followed by black pepper, red pepper flakes, and red pepper powder.
        • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.

       

      • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
    Assembling the Rolls

        • Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll them into balls.
      2. Roll Out the Dough:

        • Roll each ball out to the size of a tea plate and stack them in pairs, buttered side in.
      3. Shape the Rolls:
          • Roll each pair of dough into a larger square.

         

          • Place a portion of the onion filling along one edge, followed by a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.

      4. Knead the Dough:

      1. First Rest:

      2. Shape the Dough:

        • Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls or your desired shapes.
        • Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

     

      1. Second Rest:

      2. Fry the Doughnuts:
          • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large, deep saucepan to 350°F (180°C).

         

          • Carefully place a few doughnuts into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
          • Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
          • Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

         

      3. Dust with Icing Sugar:
        • Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, dust them with icing sugar.

      • Enjoy this bread warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.

    Cooking Tips

    • Ensure the milk is lukewarm (about 100°F or 38°C) to activate the yeast properly.
    • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
    • For a richer flavor, you can substitute the vanilla sugar with vanilla extract.
  • 10-Minute Yogurt-Infused Donuts

    10-Minute Yogurt-Infused Donuts

    10-Minute Yogurt-Infused Donuts

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • 250-300 g all-purpose flour
      • 250 g yogurt
      • 150 ml milk

     

      • 1 egg
      • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
      • 70 g sugar (about 5 tablespoons)

     

      • 10 g baking powder
      • Vegetable oil (for frying)
      • Sugar (for garnishing)

     

    Instructions:

      1. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg until well combined. Add the yogurt, milk, and lemon zest, mixing well until smooth.
      2. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps—do not overmix! The batter should be thick but pourable.
      3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large frying pan and heat it over medium-low heat. To test the oil’s temperature, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready.

     

      1. Form the donuts: There are two methods to form the donuts:
        • Spoonful: Dip two spoons in the hot oil, then scoop up a rounded spoonful of dough. Gently slide the dough into the oil.
        • Piping bag: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the batter directly into the hot oil in donut shapes.

     

      1. Fry the donuts: Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
      2. Drain and coat: Transfer the fried donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While still warm, roll the donuts in granulated sugar for a delicious coating.
      3. Enjoy! Serve your delicious yogurt donuts warm.
