CINNAMON ROLLS with the egg and flour

Ingredients:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup warm milk
• ⅓ stick of butter
• 2 tbsp instant dry yeast
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 tbsp ground cinnamon

Preparation:

1. In a container add warm milk and yeast, mix well. Until it is dissolved. Add a tablespoon of sugar. Let rest
2. Meanwhile, add the flour, salt and sugar in a separate container, and mix well. Place the dry mixture on a surface forming a little mountain. Make a hole in the center and add the egg and butter. With your hand start to integrate everything slowly.
3. When the butter is already integrated with the egg and flour, we begin to gradually add the milk with the yeast. The milk and yeast mixture should look thick and foamy. The secret of this dough is to knead it very well. At first it will have a sticky consistency, so we will need to add more flour little by little until it has a consistency that no longer sticks to the hands. Once the dough is no longer sticky, we are going to put a little oil in a tall container, and we are going to cover the entire ball of dough with the oil. Then we put the dough to rest, at room temperature in a cool place, covered with kitchen plastic or a clean cloth. Let it rest for approximately 1 to 2 hours, until it has grown a lot.
4. When it has grown, on a flat surface stretch with a roller until it is 1 cm thick. Cut the edges and form a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Form a roll, and move it over itself so that it adheres better. Cut it into pieces of approximately 1.5 cm. Put them on a tray with waxed paper and let rest for another little while.
5. Once they have grown a little more, take them to the AF with parchment or baking paper, at 180°C for 5 minutes, until they look golden. Turn around, and leave another 5 min. Take into account that the time may vary depending on the brand of the pot, and the amount to be prepared, so it is recommended to monitor the cooking from the second half of the time.

Russian Honey Cake

INGREDIENTS:

Eggless Honey Cake Layers
(I used 7 inch ring cutter)
360g [3¼ cups] all-purpose flour aka plain flour
8g [2 tsp] baking powder
170g [½ cup] honey
30ml [2 tbsp] water
150g [¾ cup] sugar
113g [½ cup] unsated butter
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp grd cinnamon
15g [2 tbsp] cornstarch
Yogurt Frosting:
600g [2½ cups] whipping cream
240g [1 cup] plain yogurt
50g [⅓ cup] powdered sugar

60g [¼ cup] honey
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
syrup
[1 tbsp honey + 2 tbsp hot water]

METHOD:

1. Eggless Honey Cake Layers

2. Sift the flour and set aside.

3. In a stainless steel pot, add honey. Bring it to a boil on low heat until the honey is further caramelised and

4. slightly thickened. This will take a few seconds to a minute or so. Off the heat. Carefully add in the water. Move

5. the pan to mix them.

6. Add in the sugar. Give it a quick mix to combine. Put the heat back on low as you’re going to dissolve the sugar.

7. Add in the butter. Cook until the butter is completely melted. The sauce is gradually thickened up and

8. caramelised looking. The longer you cook, the darker the sauce will be. Off the heat. Immediately as in the

9. baking soda. Be cautious as the volume will double up and frothy. Keep mixing. Remove the pot from the stove.

10. Add in salt, cinnamon powder and cornstarch. Mix until combined respectively.

11. Transfer the sauce into a large mixing bowl.

12. Add the sifted ingredients in a few batches. Use you use a whisk to mix them to combine. Towards the end, it

13. will become a wet dough. Whisk will be hard to move around, switch to a spatula to fold them together. The

14. dough is soft and sticky, do not attempt to add more flour. Wrap the dough with cling film. Refrigerate for 1

15. hour or just until it’s slightly firm up.

16. After 1 hour, the dough is pretty much firmed up. Flour the work surface. Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Roll

17. individually into a ball shape and set aside on a pan with a tea towel covering them to keep them moist.

18. Sprinkle some flour on a non-stick parchment paper. Roll the dough out into a very thin layer of about 1mm.

19. The thickness is just nice for the cake layers. Roll out to the size of your ring cutter. If you do not have a ring

20. cutter, it’s totally fine. Just cut a piece of paper of the size you desire as a standard guide for all the layer. Once

21. cut out the size, keep the excess of the sides for use later.

22. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for 4½ – 5 minutes. Do not over bake. I baked mine for 4½ minutes. The

23. colour of the layers depends on your baking time.

24. Let the layers completely cool before removing from the parchment paper. Once cooled, it will be easier to

25. remove the paper.

26. Set all the baked layers aside.

27. For the remaining excess of the dough, line them on a pan. Bake them in preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for 6-7

28. min or until they are dry and crispy. Let them cool completely.

29. In a food processor, crush the baked excess fine. Set these aside for the deco part later.

Honey Syrup:

Mix honey and hot water until the honey dissolved.
Set it aside to a cool completely before use.

Yogurt Frosting:

1. In a mixing bowl, add whipping cream. Whisk or mix it until it’s slightly thickened.

2. In another bowl, add yogurt, powdered, honey and vanilla extract (optional). Mix until it’s softened and creamy.

3. Add the yogurt mixture into the whipping cream. Mix until stiff (the mixer paddle is able to hold a lump of

4. cream in it), do not over mix. It will give you a soft and smooth frosting.

5. Enjoy your Russian Honey Cake.

The Famous Bread That Drives the Whole World Crazy! Recipe in 10 Minutes!

Have you ever marveled at how a simple loaf of bread can bring people together, transcending cultures and borders? In this article, we’re diving into the world of breadmaking, uncovering a recipe that’s not only delicious but also incredibly easy to whip up. Get ready to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds singing with joy!

Gathering Ingredients

Let’s start by rounding up our key players. You’ll need:

• 3.4 fluid ounces (about 100 ml) warm water
• 3.4 fluid ounces (about 100 ml) warm milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 8 grams dry yeast
• 2 medium eggs
• 17.6 ounces (about 500 grams) of wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 20 ml vegetable oil
• For a golden brown crust: 1 egg + milk

Mixing the Magic

Now that we have our ingredients, it’s time to work some magic. In a bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Give it a good mix and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.

Kneading to Perfection

Once your yeast mixture is ready, add in the eggs, wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Using a spatula, begin kneading the dough until it starts to come together. Gradually add more flour until you have a smooth, elastic dough.

Letting it Rise

Grease a bowl with some vegetable oil, then place your dough inside, covering it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 50 minutes, or until it doubles in size. This is where the magic happens as the yeast works its wonders!

Shaping and Resting

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal parts. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, allowing the gluten to relax.

Preparing for Baking

Roll out each ball of dough into a flat circle using a rolling pin. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one. Now, it’s time to get creative!

Adding the Final Touches

Using a sushi stick or any other thin tool, make small holes in the dough. Fill each hole with a bit of butter for an extra burst of flavor. In a separate bowl, beat together an egg and a splash of milk, then brush this mixture over the dough. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for that perfect finishing touch.

Baking to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and pop your bread into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden brown and crisp. Your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread!

Serving and Enjoying

Once your bread is out of the oven, resist the urge to dive right in (if you can!). Allow it to cool slightly before slicing into it. Serve it warm with some butter or your favorite spread, and watch as it disappears within minutes!

Conclusion

In just 10 minutes of active preparation time, you’ve created a masterpiece that’s sure to impress even the toughest bread critics. With its golden-brown crust, soft interior, and irresistible flavor, this bread is bound to become a staple in your kitchen. So go ahead, unleash your inner baker and treat yourself to a slice of homemade goodness!

On days when dinner feels like a chore, I often turn to two things — ground beef and pasta. There are about a million and one ways to combine them but on nights like that my main requirements are that it has to come together in under thirty minutes and in a single pot. In the case of this Easy Beef and Noodles, you need an extra pot to boil the pasta, but it’s delicious enough that I’ll let it slide. This dish checks all the other weeknight boxes — It’s tasty, it’s comforting, it’s uber quick. And the whole family will eat it. To me, it reminds a lot of the Hamburger Helper from my childhood, but you know, better. And from scratch.

In one pot, you’re going to boil your pasta. But in another you’re going to work on the beefy sauce by browning up some ground beef and onions.

Once the beef is cooked through (and you’ve added some garlic and Worcestershire), stir in some flour and let it cook just a minute or so…

… before you add some beef broth and let it simmer until thick.

You can add cream here if you’d like a creamier consistency. I pretty much always do.

And then all that’s left to do is stir those egg noodles in to coat them with sauce.

And that sauce is totally approachable. It’s velvety and savory but basic enough that you could bump things up with some other herbs or seasoning whenever you’d like. It’s all about what works best for you and your family. (But I think a 20 minute dinner works pretty well for everyone.)

Do I know why these are called Congo Bars? I do not. But what I do know is that they’re an utterly irresistible thick and chewy bar loaded with two kinds of chocolate and plenty of brown sugar and butter flavor. Imagine if a blondie and a chocolate chip cookie had a baby and then you upped the chocolate a bit for good measure – you’d have these. They’re soft, they’re just gooey enough, and they’re an absolute classic.

These bars have staying power but they’re actually a vintage recipe. Congo Bars were common in church cookbooks and grandmas’ kitchens for decades and they taste every bit as good today. That’s generally a good sign that they’re perfect for things like bake sales and potlucks and parties, but I certainly don’t mind just having a tray sitting out on my own kitchen counter as an afternoon pick-me-up. (No one else in my family has complained about that either.)

Other pros? They’re easy to make. It’s a one-bowl batter where you simply cream together some butter and brown sugar before adding in eggs, vanilla, flour, etc, and then both milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks. The two kinds of chocolate melt a bit differently and help ensure that you get a good hit of chocolate in every single bite but that it’s not just sweet, sweet, sweet.

These are like everything you love about a chocolate chip cookie, but richer and with a thicker, chewier bite. They’re a go-to dessert bar – easy to love, easy to make, easy to rely on.
