  • Flat bread

    Flat bread

    A simple, yeast-free flatbread recipe that’s a great last-minute choice when you don’t have hours to wait for the yeast dough to rise. This flat bread is incredibly soft and malleable, which makes it ideal for using as a wrapper for Doner kebabs, Shawarma, and Gyros. Alternatively, as naan to dip into Butter Chicken or Tikka Masala. There are countless options!

    Ingredients

    1. Two cups of all-purpose plain flour (level cups, unsifted, not packed),
    2. plus reserve 1/4 cup extra for dusting and correcting the dough;
    3. 1/2 tsp salt;
    4. three and a half tablespoons / fifty grams (1.75 oz) unsalted butte
    5. three-quarter cup milk

    Guidelines

    • Pour milk over melted butter. Heat the butter and milk together over a stovetop or in a microwave until the butter is just melted.

    Mix Dry:

    • Mix two cups flour, butter, salt, and milk in a bowl

    Knead for two minutes:

    • Dust the work surface with flour and knead lightly for a few minutes, just long enough to make the dough smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour.

    Take a 30-minute break:

    Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about half an hour.

    Divide into groups:

    • Before rolling out the dough into 20cm/8″ rounds that are 2-3 mm thick, dust the worktop with flour. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll them into balls.

    Heat pan:

    • Without using any oil, heat a nonstick pan on high heat. (Although 1)

    Cook:

    • Put one flatbread in the skillet and cook it for about one and a half to two minutes; it should bubble up significantly. When the underside is nicely browned on both sides, turn it over and continue cooking it for another 45 to 1 minute, or until the bottom is once again browned and puffs up.

    Store covered with tea towel:

    • Arrange the cooked bread in a stack and cover with a tea towel; the moisture will assist to soften the surface and increase their pliability. Cook the remaining parts as well.

    Apply a butter or oil brush (optional):

    1. For a more opulent appearance, drizzle or mist bread with melted butter or olive oil. Alternatively, try making a garlic butter variation by combining minced garlic with melted butter!
  • Christmas Baklava

    Christmas Baklava

     Christmas Baklava

    Baklava tastes good, but homemade is always the best. Furthermore, it need not be my house that succeeds. It might belong to anyone. Simply put, I find that compared to many store-bought baklava, homemade baklava seems to have a little more flavor, a little more freshness, and a bit more something subtle.

    1. One box of phyllo dough
    2. 4 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
    3. One teaspoon of cinnamon
    4. one and a half sticks of butter
    5. 2. honey
    6. half a cup water
    7. 3 tsp vanilla essence and 1/2 cup sugar

    Guidelines

    • Take the phyllo dough packet out of the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for a full day. Take out of the refrigerator one hour before use.
    • When working with the phyllo dough, just take off the sheets you need right away; cover the remaining sheets with plastic wrap and then a moist cloth.
    • Combine the cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Put aside.
    • Turn the oven on to 350°F. In a small saucepan, melt half of the stick of butter and grease a rectangular baking pan. Verify that the phyllo sheets will, in general, fit the pan (a little bigger is alright). Simply use a sharp knife to trim them if they’re considerably larger
    • Melt the butter and brush the top sheet of phyllo with it, then pick up the unbuttered sheet underneath. Place the two sheets, buttered side down, in the pan. Gently press the mixture into the pan. Do this twice more, resulting in six phyllo sheets in the pan, three of which are buttered.
    • Add enough walnuts to the mixture to form a single layer. Put two phyllo sheets with butter on top of the walnuts. Next, add two more greased phyllo sheets and extra walnuts. Repeat until you run out of walnuts, or a couple more times. Place 4 additional greased phyllo sheets on top, then finish with a buttered top. Using a very sharp knife, cut the baklava into a diagonal diamond pattern.
    • Bake the baklava for 45 minutes, or until it’s deeply golden brown.
    • In a saucepan, mix the remaining stick of butter, honey, water, sugar, and vanilla while the baklava bakes. After bringing to a boil, turn down the heat.
    • After taking the baklava out of the oven, evenly pour half of the saucepan over the top. After a minute of letting it soak and absorb, drizzle on some more until you feel like it’s moistened all the way through. There’s probably going to be some residual honey combination, which you can sip with a straw. I’m kidding.
    • Let the baklava cool for a few hours without covering it. After they’re cool, sticky, and delicious, carefully take them out of the pan and serve with coffee.

     

  • German Bread (Bauernbrot)

    German Bread (Bauernbrot)

    German Bread (Bauernbrot)

    This recip for real German Sourdough Bread is delicious. The bread we purchase in our hometown of Bavaria, Germany, tastes almost exactly like this one. Every two weeks, they still make their bread there in a very old stone oven in the center of a little community. They bake a large quantity at once, which you may purchase and store in the freezer for use the following baking day. I’ve found the finest German bread ever!

    Three hours for preparation

    Cooking Time: Two Hours

    Extra Time: Two Days

    Time total: 2.5 days

    20 servings

    Ingredients

    1. Produced 1 big loaf.
    2. 1/4 ounce of freshly squeezed yeast
    3. One-quart heated water
    4. Two tsp of white sugar
    5. Divide 8 cups of all-purpose flour.
    6. Eight cups flour, white rye
    7. two tsp salt
    8. One tsp white sugar
    9. two glasses of hot water

    Guidelines

    • Make the sourdough starter first. Place the crumbled yeast into a big bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 quart of warm water, whisking until the sugar is dissolved.
    • The water’s temperature need to be somewhat higher than that of the body.
    • 4 cups of flour should be added gradually while whisking to ensure that no lumps remain. Place a dish towel over it and leave it at room temperature for a full day.
    • Stir thoroughly, cover, and leave for a further 24 hours after the first 24. When it’s ready to use, the sourdough will be thin and pale in color.
    • Combine the rye flour, sugar, salt, and the remaining 4 cups all-purpose flour in a big bowl. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the sourdough starter and then stir in the two cups of warm water. After transferring the dough to a heavy-duty stand mixer for the first few minutes of mixing, I start using my hands to turn the dough out onto a floured surface because the mixer can’t handle the thick dough.
    • Countertops that are spotless are ideal. If the dough is too stiff, knead it more by adding a few teaspoons of water at a time. Turn the dough over, tugWhatever you can do to get it well-kneaded, pull it apart. To obtain a smooth dough, allow 15 to 20 minutes for the entire kneading process. Put the dough into a big bowl, cover it, and give it a full hour or two to double in size.
    • Scrape the dough back onto a floured board after it has risen from the bowl. For roughly five minutes, knead. In order to activate the gluten, this is crucial. Form into two or one long loaf. After placing on baking sheets, let rise for approximately one hour, or until a gentle poke with your finger leaves an indentation on the bread
    • Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Bake for approximately 45 minutes if you prepared two loaves, and for 1 1/2 hours if you made one large loaf. If there is a dark crust, don’t worry. Both the bread and the crust will taste great. Let cool fully before slicing. Every time, I freeze half.

    2. 50 grams or 1/4 cup of sugar
    3. One egg for the egg wash
    4. granulated sugar for embellishment

    Instructions

    Make the custard cream (crema pasticcera) as follows:

    • Heat the milk until it’s hot, but not boiling.
    • Lightly beat the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla extract, and flour in a medium-sized pan until they are frothy and light.
    • As you whisk to ensure there are no lumps, gradually add the milk.
    • When the pan comes to a slow boil, place it over medium heat and stir constantly.
    • Take care not to let the cream to sink to the bottom as it will thicken. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for a few more minutes, or until the desired thickness is achieved.
    • Fill a glass bowl with the cream, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to cool. Keep chilled for a minimum of 60 minutes.

    For the horns of pastry:

    • Set oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
    • After dusting the worktop and the puff pastry with sugar, roll it out into a 9 by 12 inch rectangle.
    • Cut (1 inch thick) into 12 stripes. Simple method: divide the pastry into three sections, and then cut each section into four strips.
    • Place every strip onto a conical-shaped horn mold. There must be overlap in the pastry (about half the length).
    • Place seam (end of the strip) side down on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
    • Use one tablespoon of water to beat one egg. Lightly apply the egg wash to every cone of dough.
    • Make sure the mold is not in contact with the egg wash. After baking, it will be more difficult to extract the pastry horn from the mold.
    • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until the tops are brown.
    • After a few minutes of cooling, carefully take them from the mold.
    • Should the pastry adhere to the mold, you have the option to slightly compress the mold (reducing its circumference) and rotate it inside the pastry until it comes out with extreme caution.
    • Add the cream and fill before serving.
    • Enjoy and top with powdered sugar, if desired!

    CUISINE

    US SERVES

    Ingredients

    1. Four cups broccoli florets,
    2. three tablespoons olive oil,
    3. one tablespoon lemon juice,
    4. one tablespoon chopped fresh parsley,
    5. one tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese,
    6. half a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, or equal parts garlic powder,
    7. dried oregano,
    8. and dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
    9. Optional garnish: lemon wedges.

    DIRECTIONS

    • Set the oven’s temperature to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
    • Put the broccoli florets in a freezer bag the size of a gallon. Add the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste along with the olive oil.
    • To ensure equal coating, seal the bag and shake.
    • Transfer the broccoli in a single layer onto the sheet pan.
    • After 20 minutes of baking, stir halfway through.
    • Take out of the oven the pan. Serve the broccoli with a drizzle of lemon juice, sprinkled with parmesan and parsley, and, if like, lemon wedges on top.

    NOTES 1.

    • Try blanching your broccoli for two to three minutes before roasting it if you want it to maintain its vibrant green color instead of taking on more of an olive tone. 2. Do you like your cuisine spicy? For a little heat, add some crushed pepper flakes! 3. I use parsley since I always have it on hand, but basil, thyme, or chives would also work well.

  • Custard Pie

    Custard Pie

    Custard Pie

    Just a regular custard pie? This recipe is old (as in timeless, cherished, and adored), but it’s hardly “plain” unless you define plain as a rich and delicate filling that is nested in a buttery crust and consists of cream, eggs, and vanilla with a dash of nutmeg. It’s simply excellent!

    Components Get this Recipe Crust at

    1. 180g, or 1 1/2 cups King Arthur All-Purpose Unbleached Flour
    2. 1/4 tspn of table salt
    3. Optional 1/4 teaspoon baking powder adds extra flakiness.
    4. 4 tsp (57 g) butter
    5. 1 tsp white vinegar or cider vinegar
    6. 1/4 cup (43g) vegetable shortening
    7. 3-5 teaspoons (43-71 grams) of ice water

    Stuffing

    1. 340g (1 1/2 cups) of milk
    2. 1 cup (227g) heavy, light, whipping, or half-and-half cream, as desired
    3. 1/4 tspn of table salt
    4. Four big eggs
    5. 1/3 cup (131g) Sugar in granules
    6. One tablespoon, or fourteen grams King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract
    7. 1/4 tsp freshly grated or ground nutmeg

    Instructions

    • Mix all of the dry ingredients together to make the crust.
    • When the mixture is evenly crumbly, add the shortening and continue to mix. Working the butter in until it’s unevenly crumbly and still has some larger chunks, add the butter.
    • Toss with a fork and sprinkle the dough with the vinegar and 3 tablespoons of ice water. If the dough isn’t coming together, add extra water. As soon as the dough can be squeezed into a ball and becomes cohesive
    • Roll the dough into a disk and cover it with wax paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least thirty minutes. This resting time helps the flour absorb the water, which makes rolling out the dough easier.
    • Form the refrigerated crust into a 13-inch circle and place it in a 9-inch pie pan that has been lightly oiled. To prevent the filling from pouring out as you move the pie from the counter to the oven, make an erect (as opposed to flat) crimp around the edge, as seen in the picture above. While you preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the middle, chill the pie crust in the refrigerator.
    • Pie weights or dried beans can be used to fill the cooled crust that has been lined with foil or parchment paper for prebaking. Bake for twenty minutes on the crust. After taking it out of the oven, carefully remove the paper or foil containing the beans or weights. Put the crust back in the oven and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is completely golden brown. Use a pie shield or strips of aluminum foil to cover the crust’s edges if they begin to turn too brown. While preparing the filling, take the crust out of the oven and allow it to cool fully.
    • Lower the oven’s setting to 300°F.
    • To create the filling: In a medium saucepan or bowl that can be placed in the microwave, combine the milk, cream, and salt.
    • Beat the eggs and sugar together in a another bowl. Thoroughly whisk the egg mixture after adding 1/4 of the heated milk or cream. After thoroughly combining, pour the egg mixture into the remaining heated milk or cream. Pour the custard through a sieve to remove any potential cooked egg fragments. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
    • After cooling, pour the hot filling into the baked crust. Evenly distribute the nutmeg on top. To avoid overbrowning, cover the pie’s edges with aluminum foil strips or a pie shield.
    • Pie should be baked for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, on the middle rack of your oven. The pie’s temperature should be between 170°F and 180°F in the center.
    • After taking the pie out of the oven, let it cool on a rack. Once it’s fully chilled, store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
    • Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge for a few days.

    Twenty-five minutes for preparation

    Time to Refrigerate: Two Hours

    2 hours 25 minutes in total

    Ingredients

    1. Two tablespoons of butter
    2. Two bags of white chocolate chips (225 grams) (AVOID USING Chipits.)
    3. Two packs of small marshmallows (250 grams)
    4. 1/2 cup chopped red and green gumdrops (purchase information is provided in the notes section below)

    Instructions

    • Line an 8-by-8 square baking dish with parchment paper to prepare it.
    • Slice each gumdrop in half. Put aside.
    • Over indirect medium heat, melt the butter, white chocolate chips, and marshmallows together. In order to accomplish this, I place a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, creating a double boiler (ensure the bowl and pan fit snugly together). This guarantees that the mixture
    • Stir the mixture constantly until it becomes smooth and melted together, being careful not to boil or fry it—melt is the desired consistency. See the post’s advice up above!
    • Take off the heat.
    • Give it a couple of minutes to cool.
    • Add the gumdrops and stir. Blend thoroughly.
    • Transfer the blend into the ready pan.
    • Since the mixture will be extremely sticky, I spread and pat the mixture into the pan using a piece of parchment paper or wax paper that has been lightly oiled.
    • Before chopping, refrigerate for at least two hours—better yet, overnight.
    • Cut into 60 pieces that are bite-sized.
    • To prevent the candies from sticking together when storing, place parchment paper between the layers.
    • Savor this recipe for nougat.

    Tips for  Recipe:

    • A Guide to Crafting Nougat Candies Regarding melting butter, white chocolate chips, and marshmallows together, I’ve been asked a lot of questions.
    • Since it’s much harder to burn the mixture with indirect heat, I prefer to utilize the double boiler approach. Since the mixture is sticky and takes a while to melt, many people found this procedure difficult.
    • Even though I am aware of that, I believe this is the superior approach. All you need to do is keep stirring and be patient
  • Fried potatoes and onion

    Fried potatoes and onion 

    Fried potatoes and onions have a delightfully crispy golden brown exterior and a fluffy, moist core that is bursting with flavors from the sweet and savory caramelized onions and Creole seasoning. Comfort food that’s quick and simple to make and perfect for any time of day!
    To this day, one of my favorite comfort foods is fried potatoes and onions. I make it far too frequently because it is one of my favorites. The potatoes’ melt-in-your-mouth tenderness and crispy golden brown exterior, which are bursting with amazing tastes, are irresistible to me.

    Every bite was so deliciously buttery and garlicky—how could I forget that? Haha! So deliciously fantastic! It also gets much better because of the caramelized onions’ delicate sweetness and spiciness.

    Ingredients fir fried potatoes and onion

    1. ¼ tablespoon olive oil,
    2. ½ tablespoon butter,
    3. ¼ pound thinly sliced potatoes,
    4. ¼ teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and Creole seasoning (optional)
    5. ½ teaspoon of minced garlic,
    6. ½ teaspoon of parsley for decoration.

    Guidelines for fried potatoes and onion

    • In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • After that, add the potato slices to the pan.
    • Season your potatoes liberally with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. After two or three minutes, flip it over and let it crust.
    • Add the garlic and onions.
    • For about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are done to your liking, keep turning them over gently until the potatoes have a uniform golden coating and the onions have caramelized.

    Advice & Notes:

    • To ensure a good crisp exterior, soak your potatoes in water for at least 20 minutes. This will help reduce the amount of starch in the potatoes.
    • To prevent oil from spattering, blot dry the potatoes before frying.
    • Potatoes that are packed too tightly in the pan may become mushy and soggy.
    • Verify that there is enough heat in the pan. To get crispy potatoes with a soft and fluffy middle, uncover the pan five minutes before the cooking process is done.
