    Prepare the butter dough:
    Roll out the dough into a large circle, brush generously with softened butter, and fold as shown in the video.
    Repeat the folding process to create layers. Set the dough aside and prepare the second dough in the same manner.
    Chill the dough:

    Shape the dough:
    Roll out each dough to the size of a serving plate. Stack them carefully on a baking tray.

    Preparing the Naan Bread Pizzas:

    Preparation Time: 10 minutes
    Cooking Time: 8-10 minutes
    Total Time: 20 minutes
    Servings: 2-4

    Ingredients:

    • 2 pieces of naan bread (store-bought or homemade)
    • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
    • Olive oil (for brushing)
    • Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)

    Instructions:

    Preparing the Naan Bread Pizzas:

    1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
    1. Assemble Pizzas: Place the naan bread on a clean surface or a plate. Spread a layer of pizza sauce over each naan, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
    2. Add Toppings: Customize your naan bread pizzas with your favorite toppings. Add sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, or any other toppings you prefer.
    3. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the edges of the naan with olive oil. This will help them turn golden and crispy in the air fryer.

    Air Frying:

    1. Air Fry: Place the assembled naan bread pizzas in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
    2. Cooking Time: Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan are golden brown and crisp. Check after 6 minutes to ensure they don’t overcook.
    1. Check for Doneness: Carefully lift one of the naan bread pizzas to check if the bottom is crisp and golden brown.

    Serving:

    1. Garnish (Optional): If desired, garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of freshness.
    2. Slice and Serve: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the naan bread pizzas into wedges. Serve hot.

        • I use the instant pot during the winter months.
        • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
        • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface.
        • Shape the dough into a boule (ball) and place in an oiled 7 inch springform tin. Ensure the tin that you use fits your air fryer basket.

        • Wash with a glaze (oil) and score the top of the dough if you wish.
        • Now, preheat your air fryer to 200C/400F for 5 minutes.
        • Place the tin in the warm air fryer basket and air fry at 200C/400F for around 10 minutes,
        • Then, lower the heat to 170C/350F and air fry for a further 20 minutes, checking periodically to ensure it doesn’t burn and that the top of the dough does not touch the heating element.
        • The bread is done when it has a golden brown crust, and tapping on it produces a hollow sound.
        • Allow the bread to cool on a cooling rack before slicing.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

                Could I leave out the pesto?

    To Make Chicken Pasta Dairy-Free

    For those who want to avoid dairy or make this pasta dish a bit healthier, skip the cream and use chicken broth instead. Simply let the broth cook down a bit more to achieve a creamy consistency.

    What Kind of Pasta to Use

    • Spaghetti: I prefer using spaghetti for my chicken pasta, but any variety will work just as well.
    • Linguine: This is a popular option for making Italian chicken pasta.
    • Whole Wheat Pasta: Substitute whole grain or whole wheat pasta for added nutritional value.

    lautaromartinez5822 httpss.mj .run81jSqyhHzZc Creamy Italian C 6578e765 1aac 4c9d 9567 789879a69075 2

    What Kind of Chicken to Use

    • Thin Chicken Breasts: This recipe calls for four boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are thin.
    • Butterfly Thick Chicken Breasts: If you can’t find thin chicken breasts, butterfly thick ones. Tenderizing works too, although I didn’t tenderize mine; I just bought thin ones from the store.

    If you buy regular chicken breasts (not labeled as thin), make sure to halve them horizontally. For example, 1 pound of large chicken breasts usually yields two pieces, and when halved, you’ll get four nice thin chicken fillets.

  • Bread in 10 Minutes! No Oven Required! The Tastiest I’ve Ever Eaten! Anyone Can Do It

    Bread in 10 Minutes! No Oven Required! The Tastiest I’ve Ever Eaten! Anyone Can Do It

    Bread in 10 Minutes! No Oven Required! The Tastiest I’ve Ever Eaten! Anyone Can Do It

    Table of Contents

    Bread has been a staple in human diets for thousands of years. It’s a symbol of nourishment, comfort, and tradition. However, in today’s fast-paced world, not everyone has the time to wait for dough to rise and bake in an oven. That’s where this incredible recipe comes in – bread in just 10 minutes, without an oven! This method is not only quick and easy but also results in the most delicious bread you’ve ever tasted. Perfect for beginners and experienced bakers alike, this recipe will revolutionize your kitchen routine.

    Ingredients
    • 17 oz (480 g) plain flour
    • 7.8 oz (220 g) white yogurt
    • 6.8 fl oz (200 ml) water
    • 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon oil
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 3.5 oz (100 g) butter
    • Parsley (to taste)
    Step-by-Step Instructions
    1. Preparing the Dough

    Start by pouring the white yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Add 200 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of salt, then whisk everything thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, thin liquid. This mixture serves as the base for your dough.

    Next, sift plain flour through a fine sieve to ensure there are no lumps. Gradually add the sifted flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the yogurt mixture. Mix with your hands until you form a cohesive and slightly sticky dough.

    See also  GINGER WATER: The Healthiest Drink to Target Stubborn Body Fat

    Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the dough and continue kneading. The oil helps to make the dough more manageable and prevents it from sticking to your hands and the bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, forming it into a round loaf.

    2. Shaping the Dough

    Sprinkle a little plain flour on your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Lightly flour the surface of the dough and use your hands to spread it into a flat pancake. Divide the dough into two equal pieces.

    Roll each piece out with a rolling pin and then cut each into five smaller pieces, giving you a total of ten dough portions. Shape each portion into a small ball. Place these dough balls on a floured plate and cover them with cling film to prevent them from drying out as you work.

    3. Rolling the Pancakes

    Take one dough ball, dust it with a bit of plain flour, and flatten it with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin pancake with a diameter of about 10 to 12 centimeters. Set it aside and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. Ensure the unused dough balls are covered with cling film to keep them moist.

    4. Cooking the Bread

    Heat a dry, shallow pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place as many of the rolled-out dough pancakes as can fit without overlapping. Let them cook for about a minute. When the dough starts to harden, flip them to the other side. As they cook, the pancakes will begin to puff up and form fluffy loaves.

    See also  Billion Dollar Cookie Bars

    Continue to move and turn the pancakes in the pan to ensure they cook evenly and don’t burn. Once they are golden brown and cooked on both sides, remove them from the pan.

    5. Finishing Touches

    Melt the butter and mix it with freshly chopped parsley. Generously spread this mixture on both sides of each cooked pancake. The butter adds richness, while the parsley provides a fresh, herby flavor that complements the bread perfectly.

    Serving Suggestions

    These quick and easy bread patties are incredibly versatile. Serve them warm as a side to soups and salads, use them as a base for sandwiches, or enjoy them on their own with a bit of honey or jam. They are perfect for any meal of the day and can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days, making them a convenient option for busy schedules.

    Conclusion

    This 10-minute bread recipe is a testament to how simple ingredients and quick methods can produce extraordinary results. Whether you’re a novice cook or an experienced baker, this recipe will become a go-to in your kitchen repertoire. Not only is it fast and easy, but it’s also incredibly tasty and versatile, ensuring that you always have fresh, homemade bread at your fingertips.

  • cream caramel-pudding

    cream caramel-pudding

    A delicious dessert that goes by many different names: crème caramel, flan, caramel pudding, condensed milk pudding, or caramel custard. A Creme Caramel is a classic French dessert that is both delicate and rich. It’s a perfect dessert for a special occasion or for those who crave a sweet treat after dinner—a great way to impress your dinner guests! The dessert is made up of a silky smooth custard base that is topped with a layer of golden caramel, which adds a lovely touch of sweetness. With a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can make this French, elegant dessert in the comfort of your own home!

    What is Cream Caramel Pudding

    While the names for this dessert are often used interchangeably, there are slight differences between flan and crème caramel.

    The Cream caramel is a classic French dessert consisting of a custard base with a sweet caramel layer. It’s made with milk, eggs, and sugar, and is usually flavored with vanilla. Once cooked the dessert is inverted onto the serving plate, to reveal the sticky caramel layer.

    Unlike cream caramels, which are always sweet, flans come on both savory and sweet. Recipes for flans date back to Roman times, where it has been served as a main course or dessert. When made for dessert, flans look much like cream caramel. But when it’s made into a savory dish, it resembles a quiche and is often served in squares.

    Tips
    Unlike the Vietnamese Flan which contains a lot of small bubbles, a classic Cream Caramel should never contain bubbles, but be a smooth mixture instead. Prevent these bubbles by not over-whisking your custard.

    The flan should be slightly jiggly when it comes out of the oven, it will continue to cook from residual heat.

    Use room-temperature eggs for best results—they’ll be less likely to scramble once you add the milk

    Don’t skip the straining step, this creates a smooth custard.

    How to Store Cream Caramel
    Store the Cream Caramel in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Can I Make It Ahead of Time?
    This recipe is great for making ahead of time. Once the dessert has cooled, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge.
