    Soft Fluffy Dinner Rolls

    Petits pains moelleux et moelleuxIngrédients :4 tasses de farine tout usage1/4 tasse de sucre granulé2 1/4 cuillères à café (1 sachet) de levure sèche active1 cuillère à café de sel1/2 tasse d’eau tiède (110°F/45 °C)1/2 tasse de lait chaud (110°F/45°C)1/4 tasse de beurre non salé, fondu2 gros œufs, température ambiante2 cuillères à soupe de beurre non salé, fondu (pour le badigeonnage)Instructions : Préparez le mélange de levure :
    Dans un petit bol, dissolvez le sucre granulé dans l’eau tiède et le lait. Saupoudrez la levure sèche active sur le dessus et laissez reposer pendant environ 5 à 10 minutes, jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit mousseuse.

    Mélanger la pâte :

     

    Dans un grand saladier, mélangez la farine et le sel. Faire un puits au centre et ajouter le mélange de levure, le beurre fondu et les œufs. Remuer jusqu’à ce qu’une pâte se forme.

     

    Pétrir la pâte :

     

    Transférez la pâte sur une surface farinée et pétrissez-la pendant environ 8 à 10 minutes, jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit lisse et élastique. Si vous utilisez un batteur sur socle, pétrissez avec le crochet pétrisseur à vitesse moyenne pendant environ 6 à 8 minutes.

    Première montée :

     

    Placez la pâte dans un bol légèrement graissé, couvrez-la d’un linge humide ou d’une pellicule plastique et laissez-la levier dans un endroit chaud pendant environ 1 à 1,5 heure, ou jusqu’à ce qu’elle double de volume.

     

    Façonner les rouleaux :

     

    Dégonflez la pâte pour en extraire l’air. Divisez la pâte en 12 à 16 morceaux égaux et façonnez chaque morceau en boule. Placez les boules dans un plat de cuisson gras, en les espaçant légèrement.

    Deuxième montée :

     

    Couvrez les rouleaux d’un linge humide ou d’une pellicule plastique et laissez-les levier dans un endroit chaud pendant environ 30 à 45 minutes, ou jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient gonflés et se touchent.

     

    Préchauffer le four :

     

    Préchauffez votre four à 375°F (190°C).

     

    Cuire les petits pains :

     

    Badigeonnez le dessus des petits pains de beurre fondu. Faites cuire au four préchauffé pendant 15 à 20 minutes ou jusqu’à ce que le dessus soit doré.

    Touche finale :

     

    Retirez les petits pains du four et badigeonnez-les de beurre fondu supplémentaires pour obtenir une croûte brillante et moelleuse.

     

    Servir:

     

    Laissez refroidir légèrement les rouleaux avant de les servir. Dégustez-les tièdes ou à température ambiante.

     

    Conseils : Assurez-vous que les liquides (eau et lait) sont à la bonne température pour activer correctement la levure. La pâte doit être molle mais pas collante ; ajustez avec de petites quantités de farine ou d’eau selon les besoins.

  • Hands down, when we are in a party mood, this is the only drink we’re having!

    Hands down, when we are in a party mood, this is the only drink we’re having!

    Ingredients:

    1 cup light rum

    2 cups frozen pineapple chunks

    1/2 cup coconut cream

    1/4 cup pineapple juice

    1/2 cup ice

    Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish

    PREPARATION:

    Start with your trusty blender, pouring in the light rum and pineapple juice.

    Toss in those frozen pineapple chunks and the creamy coconut cream.

    Add the ice, but just the right amount to avoid diluting the flavor.

    Blend on high until everything’s creamy and smooth. If the ice plays hard to get, stop, give it a stir, and blend again.

    Pour the Pina Coladas into pre-chilled glasses for that extra frosty touch.

    Garnish each glass with a slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry for a picture-perfect finish.

    Variations & Tips:

    For a non-alcoholic version that’s just as tropical, skip the rum and add more pineapple juice.

    If you’re watching your diet, substitute coconut cream with coconut milk for a lighter touch.

    For an added kick, muddle in fresh mint leaves or a hint of ginger.

    If you’re blessed with fresh pineapple, use it instead of frozen. Just remember to freeze it first for that signature slushy consistency.

    The secret to a perfect Pina Colada, much like life’s other joys, lies in the right proportions and a generous dose of love. Here’s to cherished memories and enjoying great company! Cheers!

    Enjoy !

    Ingredientes

    2 cups of whole milk

    1 tasse de crème épaisse

    1 cup of granulated sugar

    1/2 tasse de farine de maïs

    Media cucharadita de sal.

    1 cucharadita de esencia de vainilla.

    1 tasse de noix de coco râpée, sucrée ou non sucrée.

    1/4 tasse de noix de coco râpée grillée (optionnel, pour décorer).

    Guidelines

    Première étape : préparer la crème anglaise de base.

    Dans une casserole de taille moyenne, mélangez le lait entier, la crème épaisse, le sucre, la fécule de maïs et le sel.

    Battez la préparation à feu moyen jusqu’à ce qu’elle épaississe, en veillant à ce qu’il n’y ait pas de morceaux.

    Cuando espese, quitar del fuego y añadir el extracto de vainilla.

    Paso 2: Agregar el coco.

    Ajoutez la noix de coco râpée à la crème anglaise et remuez jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit bien mélangée.

    Verse le mélange dans un plat en verre adapté pour le four et étale-le de manière uniforme.

    Paso 3: Enfriar y disfrutar.
    Couvrez le plat avec du film plastique en le plaçant directement sur la crème anglaise pour empêcher qu’une peau se forme.

    Mettre au réfrigérateur pendant au moins 4 heures ou jusqu’à ce qu’il soit bien ferme.

    Paso 4: Poner la comida y servir.
    Antes de servir, espolvorea encima con copos de coco tostados para darle más textura y sabor (opcional).

    Prenez des portions avec une cuillère, en vous assurant que chaque portion a beaucoup de crème anglaise et de noix de coco.

    Conseils pour avoir du succès
    Para darle un sabor más intenso, usa leche de coco en vez de leche entera.

    Ajusta el nivel de dulzura usando coco rallado dulce o sin endulzar, dependiendo de lo que prefieras.

    Pour donner une texture croustillante, vous pouvez essayer d’ajouter des biscuits Graham ou des biscuits écrasés à la crème anglaise avant de la solidifier.

    Quick No-Knead Wholemeal Bread

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

      • 400 ml warm water
      • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
      • 13 g dry yeast (about 1 tablespoon)
      • 200 g wholemeal flour (1 2/3 cups)
      • 300 g bread flour (2 1/2 cups)
      • 2 teaspoons salt (12 g)
      • 20 ml olive oil (1 1/3 tablespoons)
      • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
      • 1 tablespoon black cumin seeds (optional)

    Directions

      1. Prepare the Dough:
        • In a large steel pot or glass bowl, mix warm water, apple cider vinegar, and dry yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved.
      2. Add Dry Ingredients:
          • Add the wholemeal flour, bread flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a spatula or spoon until combined; no kneading is required.

         

      3. Incorporate Olive Oil:
        • Pour in the olive oil and mix until the dough absorbs it fully. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
      1. Shape the Dough:
        • Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough to make it easier to handle. Transfer the dough to a 24 cm (9.5-inch) pan lined with baking paper. Use a small saucepan to gently press the dough into shape.
      2. Add Toppings:
          • Spray or sprinkle water onto the surface of the dough, which helps create a crispy crust. Spread the dough evenly in the pan and sprinkle with sesame and black cumin seeds if using. Make a few shallow scratches or cuts on the surface for decoration.

         

      3. Bake:
        • Place the pan in a cold oven (do not preheat) and bake at 200°C (392°F) for 50-55 minutes until the bread is golden brown with a crispy crust.
    1. Cool and Serve:

      • Adjust Flour as Needed: Depending on the humidity and flour type, you might need a bit more or less. The dough should be sticky but manageable.
    • Add Seeds or Nuts: Customize with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or chopped nuts for added texture.

    Just Apples and Cocoa! No Flour! No Sugar! I Eat Every Day and Lose Weight

    Just Apples and Cocoa! No Flour! No Sugar! I Eat Every Day and Lose Weight

    Ingredients:

    • 2 large apples, preferably a sweeter variety like Fuji or Gala
    • 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
    • Optional: Cinnamon or vanilla extract for added flavor

    Instructions:Prep the Apples:

    Wash the apples thoroughly.

    • Core the apples and slice them thinly. The thinner the slices, the quicker they will cook and the crisper they can become.

    Season the Apples:

    The apple slices should be put in a mixing basin. Over the apples, scatter the unsweetened cocoa powder. For added taste, feel free to add a few drops of vanilla essence or a pinch of cinnamon. Toss the slices in the chocolate mixture until they are well covered. Make sure to coat each slice thoroughly in order to enhance the flavor.

    For a Comforting Treat:

    Transfer the apple slices coated in chocolate to a nonstick skillet and set it over medium heat. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, or until the apples are tender and a rich sauce has formed from the cocoa.

    Serve:

    If baked, let the apple chips to cool fully before serving so they get crisp. Serve the warm cocoa apples straight from the pan if they are stovetop cooked. You may eat them just the way they are or add some yogurt on top for richness.
