morning morning


hi folks,


today i would like to introduce some nice bread recipe for you guys to learn and try as i think that bread is the most nicest food in the world already..

the recipe is MORNING BUNS !

so guys here we go :)

Ingredients:

You will Need:
500g flour (2 cups)
1 pinch of salt
20g butter (1.3 tbsp)
25g sugar (5 teaspoons)
12g fresh/dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1 egg yolk
280ml milk (a little over 1 cup)
50g flour for dusting (3 tbsp)
1 egg beaten with 2tbsp water
1 Tbsp sesame seeds








Step 1:

Add to the bowl the flour, the pinch of salt, sugar, yeast, egg yolk, butter and finally pour in the milk into the mixing bowl.



Step 2:

Now on a slow speed mix the ingredients for about 5 minutes. It's likely that the dough will become caught on the hook, so after 5 minutes stop and ease it off with your hands. Then, mix again on a medium speed for a further 3 minutes.



Step 3:Dust some flour over a flat surface.

Put the dough in the center and knead it with the palm of your hand. This will give it more texture and strength.

Knead for about 1 minute until the dough gets a velvety texture. Leave the dough to rise Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a tea towel and leave it in a warm place to rise. This should take about an hour.

Step 4:

After an hour, it should look like this, double size of the previous dough.


Step 5:

Firstly, punch the dough down into the bowl to remove the air and peel it out.


Step 6:

Then dust a flat surface with flour and place the dough on top Now cut it length ways and across four times to make 10 buns.



Step 7:

Now take one of the buns and roll it into a long strip.


Step 8:

Then hold both ends and tie it into a knot.


Step 9:

Leave the buns to rise.

Place the buns on the baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and cover them with the tea towel. Then leave them to rise for 20 minutes.






Step 10:

After 20 minutes have passed, we need to prepare them before baking.

Using a brush, generously coat each of the buns with the egg wash. Then sprinkle over the sesame seeds followed by the salt.
















Hope you guys enjoy it and you can learn something new for yourself..


Thank you

See ya

Thank you

breakfast again


hey guys...

today i would like to introduce another breakfast recipe for you all as i said before right? i wanted to concentrate more on breakfast..

because i heard from a doctor said that breakfast was the most important meal of the day among the other meals :)

trust me..

so today i would like to introduce to you Tomato-and-Cheese-Omelette-with-Mushrooms !!!!!



here we go ... the ingredients were so simple and you would feel that it was quite easy to learn this recipe indeed !

Ingredients:

- 3 or 4 eggs, depending on how many people the omelette is feeding
- About 3/4 of a cup of milk
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 tomato
- 1/2 an onion
- A handful of mushrooms
- CHEESE
- Salt and pepper
- Cooking oil (or more butter)

First, pick some of your favourite eggs from the fridge.


Step 1:

Crack them into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of milk for every egg, and NO MORE. Any more milk and your omelette will burn.


Step 2:

Start hacking away at your tomato, onion and mushrooms. Grate some cheese too.


Step 3:

Turn on your elements and lube up your frying pans. Add a tablespoon of butter to your saucepan for your mushroom sauce mix. Your large frying pan only needs to be warm so that your omelette won't burn.


Step 4:

Stick your onions and mushrooms into the small frying pan, and add your tablespoon of flour and 1/2 cup of milk to the saucepan. Mix well, and MAKE SURE THE FLOUR DISSOLVES. Nothing is worse than biting into a chunk of flour later. You can add salt and pepper at this point, but don't add anymore than a teaspoon of salt or you'll ruin the taste of your omelette.


Step 5:

Beat your eggs and milk and pour the mixture into a large frying pan. Then get a lid on top of it.


Step 6:

Keep stirring your other two pans. Your butter, milk and flour should now be forming a cream.

Step 7:

Once your mushrooms and onions have cooked, chuck them into your sauce.


Step 8:

Hopefully your omelette is nicely cooked now. Chuck your tomato and cheese on one side and fold the other side over them so it can all heat up.


Step 9:

Once your cheese has melted, get that omelette onto a plate somehow. The best way is probably to cut it in half and use a fish flip. Luckily I had two fish flips and was able to do it all in one go. After that, you can unfold your omelette. Nice and colorful now, isn't it?!


Step 10:

Add your sauce.


Step 11:

Fold it back up! Better fill up that gap on the plate with a simple salad. All done!


easy right? haha.. as easy as 123 ya?

hope you all enjoy it :)

see ya

thank you

breakfast


hey guys..

now only i realized that i never introduced some recipes for breakfast ya? haha..

so today i would like to introduce a very very simple and easy to learn recipe to you all and that was called Challah Bread French Toast Topping with Corn Flakes ..



hope you all enjoy it and learn it

here we go :)

Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into bits
8 large eggs
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 tablespoons rum
1 loaf challah cut into 1-inch-thick slices and ends discarded
4 cups corn flakes
cinnamon sugar made by stirring together 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


Step 1:

You are going to want to start the night before, and cut your bread into inch-thick slices, and let dry on a rack. In the absence of a rack, you can just stand them up. You'll notice I have two different kinds of bread, that's because I had 1/2 a loaf from dinner yesterday, and the bakery was all out so the other is just a crusty bread. It works well too, but nothing is quite like the challah for french toast.


Step 2:

First, let's make clarified butter. Clarified butter is unsalted butter with the milkfats removed. It has a more buttery flavor, plus it lasts for months in the fridge and will not burn when frying.

Take your butter, cut into pats, and melt in a small saucepan over low heat.


Step 3:

Once it's all melted, it will have a foam on top. These are whey proteins.


Step 4:

Turn off the heat, and skim those off the top with a spoon, and discard.


Step 5:

All the whey protein removed:


Step 6:

Next, put a strainer over a bowl, and lay some cheesecloth in it. I couldn't find my cheesecloth anywhere, so I used a dishtowel. It was of the same consistency, so it worked pretty well. Just don't use a fuzzy dishtowel.




Step 7:

Pour the almost clarified butter over the cheesecloth or towel.


Step 8:

This skims out the remaining milk fat.


Step 9:

Now, in a large bowl, mix together your eggs, milk, vanilla and rum. Whisk it up.


Step 10:

Pour into a baking dish or whatever you have large enough, and toss your bread in. Let it soak about 5-10 minutes on each side, until it's soaked up a good amount of the mixture.

It shouldn't be dissolving, but it should be mushy and kind of hard to handle. Feeling the crust is a good determinator of when it's ready. It should be about the consistency you expect french toast crust to be.


Step 11:

When it's ready, lay each piece into a bed of corn flakes, press down a bit, and turn over to coat.


Step 12:

Coat on the other side:


Step 13:

Corn Flakes on french toast? I know, it sounds crazy, but it will give your breakfast an incredible texture. Now sprinkle with your sugar and cinnamon mixture.


Step 14:

If you have a griddle, warm it to 300F. If not, heat your oven to 250F and get out the biggest skillet you have. Put your clarified butter in and cook each slice 3-5 minutes per side, and place in the oven to keep warm until they're all done. You'll know the doneness when they start to puff up in the middle.

You can see how much better the challah ones look, but they all tasted wonderful. Get some maple syrup, some delicious sausage links or bacon, and have the best french toast ever. Also, get real maple syrup, not Log Cabin or Aunt Jemimah, ok? It's not that much more and your tastebuds will thank you.


see ya

thank you
