    Best Ever Puff Pastry Butter Bread Loaf

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

    500g bread flour
    50g sugar
    10g yeast
    80g unsalted butter, melted
    2 large eggs
    250ml milk
    10g salt
    300g unsalted butter (for folding)

    Directions:

    Prepare the Dough:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, and yeast.
    Add the melted butter, eggs, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until no dry flour is visible.
    Knead the dough roughly for 5 minutes. Then, add the salt and continue kneading for another 7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
    Rest and Refrigerate: 4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 5. After 30 minutes, knead the dough again until it is smooth. 6. Shape the dough into a slightly flattened square, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

    Prepare the Butter: 7. The next day, fold a piece of baking paper into a square measuring 16×20 cm. 8. Place the 300g butter inside the paper square and spread it evenly. Refrigerate until the butter is firm.

    Roll and Fold the Dough: 9. Sprinkle flour on the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about twice the size of the butter square. 10. Place the chilled butter square in the center of the dough. Wrap the butter by folding one side of the dough over it, then fold the other side to meet the ends. 11. Fold the dough in half again, wrap it well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    Repeat Rolling and Folding: 12. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, roll it out again into a large rectangle, and fold it as before. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes. 13. Repeat this rolling and folding process one more time, followed by another 30-minute refrigeration.

    Final Rolling and Shaping: 14. After the final refrigeration, roll the dough out to approximately 22×17 cm. 15. Place the dough on a tray, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes. 16. After 10 minutes, trim the protruding end straight and divide the dough into 8 pieces, each cut at 2-3 cm intervals.

    Shape the Dough: 17. With the grain of each dough piece facing upwards, press gently with your hand and slightly roll out each piece with a rolling pin. 18. Turn each piece over and roll it up, gently unfolding the end.

    Final Fermentation: 19. Arrange the rolled dough pieces into a bread pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid. 20. Let the dough ferment in a turned-off oven with hot water for 4-5 hours at 25-27°C (77-81°F).

    Bake: 21. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). 22. Brush the surface of the dough with milk. 23. Place the bread pan on an oven tray and bake for 23 minutes. 24. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 7 minutes. 25. Immediately remove from the oven and release the bread from the pan to cool, preventing moisture buildup.

  • Homemade Artisan Bread Recipe

    Homemade Artisan Bread Recipe

    Homemade Artisan Bread Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • Lukewarm Water: 1¼ cups (300g) plus more if needed
    • Salt: 2 teaspoons
    • Dried Yeast: 2 teaspoons (7g)
    • All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups (420g) plus more for dusting

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Dough

    1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm water, salt, and dried yeast. Stir the mixture until the yeast is fully dissolved.
    2. Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the bowl, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms. The dough should be slightly tacky but manageable. If it seems too dry, add 2-3 extra tablespoons of water to achieve the right consistency.

    Step 2: First Rise and Folding

    1. Initial Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour. This initial rise allows the yeast to activate and the dough to begin developing its structure.
    2. Stretch and Fold: After the first 30 minutes, perform the first series of stretches and folds to strengthen the dough:
      • Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
      • Gently lift one side of the dough and fold it over itself.
      • Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and repeat the stretch and fold on the opposite side.
      • Continue this process two more times for a total of four stretches and folds.
    3. Repeat: Perform another round of stretching and folding at the end of the first hour.

    Step 3: Second Rise and Coil Folds

    1. Second Rise: Let the dough continue to rise for another hour, during which you’ll perform two series of coil folds to further develop the dough’s structure and gluten:
      • Coil Fold Technique: With wet hands, gently lift the dough from the middle, allowing it to fold under itself naturally. Place it back in the bowl carefully. Perform these coil folds twice, spaced 30 minutes apart.

    Step 4: Shape and Preheat

    1. Shape the Dough: After the second rise, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Gently turn the dough out onto the floured surface and shape it into a round loaf by folding the edges towards the center. This helps create surface tension on the top of the dough, which is essential for a good rise and crust.
    2. Proof: Transfer the shaped dough to a floured proofing basket or bowl, seam side up. Cover the dough and let it rest while you preheat the oven.
    3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid inside the oven as it preheats. This will help create a steamy environment for the bread, essential for a crispy crust.

    Step 5: Bake the Bread

    1. Transfer to Dutch Oven: Once the oven is fully heated, carefully remove the preheated Dutch oven. Gently place the dough inside, seam side down.
    2. Score the Dough: Use a sharp knife or a bread lame to score the top of the dough. This allows the bread to expand during baking, giving it an attractive appearance and preventing it from bursting in random places.
    3. Bake: Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the lid to allow the crust to brown, and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

    Step 6: Cool and Serve

    1. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This cooling period helps the interior of the bread set properly and prevents it from being gummy.
    2. Serve: Slice and enjoy your homemade artisan bread with butter, olive oil, or your favorite toppings. It’s perfect for sandwiches, soups, or as a side to any meal!

    Tips

    • Hydration: The amount of water needed can vary depending on the flour type and humidity in your environment. Adjust accordingly to achieve a sticky but manageable dough.
    • Storing: Store the bread at room temperature, wrapped in a clean towel or in a paper bag to maintain the crust. For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze it in an airtight container or bag. Toast slices directly from frozen when needed.
    • Flavor Variations: For a twist, add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder to the dough. You can also mix in seeds, nuts, or olives for added flavor and texture.

    No-Bake Chocolate Nut Energy Bars: A Healthy and Delicious Snack

    No-Bake Chocolate Nut Energy Bars: A Healthy and Delicious Snack

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you’ll need to create your own batch of no-bake chocolate nut energy bars:

    • Oat Flakes: 80 g (1 cup)
    • Raisins: 100 g (3.5 oz)
    • Walnuts: 100 g (3.5 oz), chopped
    • Prunes: 100 g (3.5 oz), chopped
    • Dried Cranberries: 1 tablespoon
    • Bananas: 2, ripe
    • Dark Chocolate: 40 g (1.4 oz), without sugar
    • Coconut Oil: 1 teaspoon (optional, for melting the chocolate)

    Step-by-Step Preparation

    Step 1: Prep the Oat Flakes

    1. Combine Oats and Raisins: Start by placing the oat flakes in a large mixing bowl. Add the raisins directly to the oats; no chopping is necessary for the raisins, as they will add a chewy texture and natural sweetness to the bars.

    Step 2: Toast the Nuts (Optional)

    1. Chop the Walnuts: Roughly chop the walnuts on a wooden board. If you prefer a more intense nutty flavor, toast the chopped walnuts briefly in a non-stick pan over medium heat until they are slightly golden and aromatic. This step is optional but enhances the depth of flavor.

    Step 3: Chop the Prunes

    1. Prepare the Prunes and Cranberries: Cut the prunes into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl with the oats and raisins. Toss in the dried cranberries as well. These dried fruits will contribute a rich, sweet flavor and chewy texture to the bars.

    Step 4: Blend the Bananas

    1. Puree the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into smaller chunks. Place them in a blender or use a hand blender to puree the bananas until completely smooth. Ensure that there are no lumps; the banana puree should be silky and mushy, acting as a natural binder for the bars.

    Step 5: Combine the Ingredients

    1. Mix Everything Together: Add the banana puree to the bowl containing the oats, dried fruits, and nuts. Mix everything thoroughly by hand or with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture becomes compact and sticky. This ensures that the bars hold together well.

    Step 6: Mold the Bars

    1. Shape the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a smaller square or rectangular mold, spreading it evenly. Press down firmly to ensure the mixture is compact, and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Aim for a thickness of about 2 cm (just under 1 inch) to achieve the perfect bar consistency.

    Step 7: Bake (Optional)

    1. Bake for Texture: While these bars can be enjoyed without baking, for a firmer texture, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the mixture for approximately 20 minutes. Baking will help set the bars, making them easier to cut and handle.

    Step 8:  Chocolate Drizzle

    1. Melt the Chocolate: While the bars are baking or resting, melt the  dark chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy.
    2. Drizzle Over Bars: Once the bars are out of the oven and slightly cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly. Place the mold in the refrigerator briefly to allow the chocolate to set.

    Step 9: Cut and Enjoy

    1. Slice into Bars: Once the chocolate has set, remove the mixture from the mold and cut it into bars or cubes of your preferred size. These bars are now ready to be enjoyed as a delicious and nutritious snack!

    Serving Suggestions

    • On-the-Go Snack: Pack a bar or two in your bag for a quick and energizing snack during the day.
    • Pre- or Post-Workout Fuel: Enjoy these bars before or after workouts for a boost of energy and nutrients.
    • Healthy Dessert: Serve these bars as a healthy dessert option that satisfies your sweet tooth without the guilt.

    Tips and Variations

    • Customize Your Mix: Feel free to substitute or add different nuts and dried fruits, such as almonds, pecans, dried apricots, or dates, to suit your taste preferences.
    • Add Seeds: Boost the nutritional value by adding chia seeds, flaxseeds, or sunflower seeds to the mixture.
    • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract to the banana puree for extra flavor.
    • No-Bake Option: If you prefer a completely no-bake version, skip the oven step and let the mixture set in the fridge for a few hours before cutting into bars.

    Beat the coconut cream:
    Utilize an electric mixer to beat the coconut cream until it becomes airy and fluffy, which should take around 3-5 minutes. The consistency should be like whipped cream.

    4. Include Cocoa Powder:

    Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the whipped coconut cream to prevent clumps. Carefully mix the cocoa into the cream until it is completely combined, being careful not to let the mixture lose air.

    5. Make sure everything is the same.

    If the mousse becomes too thick when you add the cocoa powder, gradually stir in some cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until you get the texture you want.

    Relax:

    Put the mousse in a bowl or separate cups and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This helps the mousse firm up and enhance its taste.

    After cooling, you can serve your chocolate mousse as it is, or add a bit of cocoa powder or coconut flakes on top for a fancier presentation.

    Advantages of This Sweet Treat:

    This chocolate dessert is simple to prepare and is good for you. Coconut milk is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a good choice for people who cannot digest lactose or want to avoid dairy products. Cocoa powder, which has many antioxidants, can help improve heart health and make you feel happier.

    Indulge in this rich chocolate dessert whenever you crave something sweet without feeling guilty. It shows how basic ingredients can turn into something really amazing.

    • Add a twist: For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange extract or a handful of shredded coconut to the mix.
    • Customize the texture: If you like a bit of crunch, consider folding in some chopped pecans or walnuts.
