These are two recipes that wanted to do for some time but never had the chance. And now this week, both in one day. Go figure 🙂

Bread Pudding Ingredients:

• 250ml milk
• 300ml double cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 whole eggs + 1 egg yolk
• 3 tbsp caster sugar
• 8 slices aprox of stale bread (white bread or even better brioche!!!)
• 50gr slightly salted butter, softened (need to spread it) + extra for greasing
• 75g sultanas, currants or any other dried fruit
• zest 1/2 lemon
• 2 tbsp demenara sugar

Process:

• Add the lemon zest to the dried fruit.
• Make the custard. Heat the milk, cream and vanilla in a sauce pan, just below boiling point!
• In parallel, whisk the eggs, yolk and sugar.
• Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mix, whisking constantly.
• Lightly grease with butter an ovenproof dish.
• Cut the crusts from the bread slices (if using white bread), then butter both sides of the bread and cut in triangles.
• Deep the bread slices in the custard and spread them in the dish. Add some dried fruit between layers.
• Pour more custard once you assembled all layers. Be sure it doesnt overflow!
• Finish it with last layer of dried fruit and some demenara sugar.
• Leave to soak for 30 minutes in the fridge.
• Pre-heat oven at 180C
• Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and puffed-up.

Let it cool down and then you can slice it. You can present it with a bit of dust sugar on top and a touch of mint leaves. Use some leftover custard to serve!

Apple Crumble Ingredients:

• 500gr aprox green apples, peeled, cored and sliced in aprox 1cm thick.
• 1/2 lemon juice + 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 2 tbsp caster sugar for cooking apples
• 2 tbsp cinnamon for cooking apples
• 175g plain flour
• 110g golden caster sugar
• 110g cold butter
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp oats
• 1 tbsp demenara sugar

Process:

• Pre-heat oven at 180C.
• Toss the sliced apples into a bowl with the 2 tbsp sugar and lemon juice in a bowl with water so they dont get brown.
• In another bowl, mix flour and sugar. Then rub the butter in the flour with your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and check there are no big bits in the surface
• In a sauce pan, add the apples (drained), sugar and cinnamon. Fry until golden and bit soft. Remove from heat
• Add apples into an ovenproof dish.
• Pour the crumb mix on top of the apples. Dont over press, use a fork to spread out.
• Sprinkle the oats and demenara sugar on top.
• Bake for 35-40m, until top is golden and bubbly! Use a wooden stick to check the apples are soft before removing from oven.
• Leave to cool down 10 minutes.

You can use some strawberries and mint for presentation. Plus some custard from earlier recipe.

All very tasty! The bread pudding was very tasty the day after. As well, some years ago I tried bread pudding and it was quite different from this one so I will try another recipe another day. It makes a difference the use of brioche 🙂 And somehow, it reminds me to the “pizza venetta”.

The apple crumble was good too. And you can use any fruit to be honest, so it is super flexible.

In general, these two recipes are super easy and quick. So no excuse to try them more often.

This is nothing new. I make rosquillas each year for Easter to bring back some good memories and keep a personal tradition. I notice that each year I look for a recipe but always follow the same one I saved in my laptop many years ago and I want to celebrate that recipe. The site doesnt exist anymore but at least give it the honors anyway.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 100g sugar
• 80ml milk
• 80ml olive oil
• 50ml anise liquor or sambuca.
• peel of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
• 350-400g plain flour
• 500ml olive oil for frying + plus a bit more for dipping your fingers.
• A plate with sugar to coat the rosquillas
• A plate with a fine layer of white wine to dip the rosquillas
• A plate with kitchen paper to dry the rosquillas after frying.

Process:

• Add the olive oil to a frying pan at medium-low heat. Add the lemon peel. I use a small frying plan, that fits two rosquillas. So I dont use all oil at once. I refill the frying pan during the process.
• Whisk eggs and sugar until well combine in a big bowl.
• Keep whisking and add bit by bit the milk, olive oil and anise to the eggs mix.
• Add bicarbonate to the flour, and add 300gr aprox to the wet mix. You will have to use a wooden spoon to keep mixing.
• The dough should be a bit sticky and soft but fully combined. I think I used aprox 375g of flour.
• Let it rest.
• Put the frying pan at medium heat. Be sure you have all plates ready (sugar, white wine, kitchen paper)
• Once you think the oil is hot enough for frying, remove the lemon peel (should be crunchy and not burnt!!!)
• Dip your fingertips in a bit of olive oil, take a bit of dough, like a small meat ball. Make a ball with your hands, then with one finger make a hole and turn the dough like a gymnastic with a hoop.
• First time, just fry one rosquilla and see how it goes. You want to be sure the oil is in the correct temperature. If it is too hot, the rosquilla will get brown too quick and the center will not cook. If it is cold, the rosquilla will absorve too much oil.
• Once one side is fried, turn it. Once both sides are equal, remove from the pan and let it dry with the kitchen paper. The rosquilla should have double the size!!!
• Now, add two rosquillas to the frying pan.
• Take the dried rosquilla, dip it both side with a bit of white wine (you may hear a sizzle – that’s good, the rosquilla is still hot) and then coat the rosquilla with sugar. Not too much. Then put it in a plate. Although this is quick, keep an eye on the rosquillas on the frying pan.
• Repeat the process, remove the rosquillas from the pan, let them dry a bit the excess of oil, add two more to the pan, and dip/coat.
• You may have to refill the oil in the pan, that’s ok. You want the oil to cover the rosquilla when you add it. The rosquilla will grow that’s expected.
• Once all done, let the oil to cool down. You can keep it in an oil tin and reuse another day.
• I put the rosquillas in a biscuit box. After trying a couple of them
• This recipe can produce 17-18 rosquillas depending on size.

This is the result!

And to be honest, the next day, they were better and still soft!

I took “inspiration” in this video to cook something with leeks.

Ingredients:

• 2 big leeks: cleaned as per video and sliced
• 200g mushroom: cleaned and sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
• 5 sheets of lasagne
• 1 vegetable or beef stock cube + 500ml boling water
• 20ml cream
• 1 tsp chilli paste – optional
• 2-3 tsp soy sauce – optional
• Splash of white wine – optional
• 50g of grated cheese
• 1 bunch of asparagus
• 1 green pepper sliced
• salt + pepper + a bit of butter

Process:

• In a hot pan, fry the mushrooms, they should sizzle.
• Add the garlic, be sure doesnt burn!
• Add the leeks to the pan. Keep stirring so nothings sticks to the pan.
• Season with salt + pepper.
• Add the chilli, soy sauce and wine.
• Disolve the cube stock in the boiling water.
• Add the stock to the mushrooms and leeks.
• There will be a look to liquid so keep stirring.
• Add the cream.
• After a couple of minutes, add a lasagne sheet at each time into the pan. The sheet should cook in the liquid. Repeat with all of them.
• The sheets should break down and the sauce shouldnt be very dense anymore.
• In a baking dish, use a bit of butter to cover the bottom and pour the mushroom and leek mix.
• Pre-heat the oven at 200C
• In the same pan, fry the asparagus and green pepper until they are charred.
• Add them on top of the mushroom and leeks.
• Add the grated cheese on top of the asparagus
• Bake in the oven for 15 minutes aprox, until the top is brown.

This is the result:

To be honest, it was quite tasty! I liked the idea to cook the lasagne sheets in the same pan with all vegetables.

I wasn’t fan of this pastry until some time ago that I tasted it at this bakery. Since then I wanted to try so last weekend was finally the time. I used this video as inspiration (recipe) I used my typical croissant dough, pastry cream and soaked the raising as the bakery mentions.

Pain aux Raisins Ingredints:

• 1 or 2 bags of your favourite tea
• 200g or raisins, sultanas and mixed fruit
• Bloody orange marmelade
• Splash of spirit (scotch, rum, etc) – optional
• 1 egg for egg wash.

Process:

• Boil 500ml of water. Put the tea bags and dry fruit on it. Optional add the spirit.
• Remove tea bag after a couple of minutes.
• Let it soak for 1h.
• ** Do this when doing the croissant folds
• Filter the liquid (you can drink it) and let the fruit to dry at room temperature

Pastry Cream Ingredients:

• 500ml milk
• 2 eggs
• 4 yolks
• 125g sugar
• 75g plain flour
• 50g butter
• 1 ts vanilla paste
• pinch of salt
• glass sugar to cover the cream

Process:

• In a pan, put the milk to boil. Add a bit of sugar and dont stir it!
• In a bowl, mix eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla. Then Add flour. Mix all well. Add a pinch of salt.
• Just when the milk starts boiling, remove from the heat, and pour it bit a bit in the egg mix.
• Return the mix to the pan, and dont stop stirring, this is the key for cooking the flour!
• Keep stirring until the mix thickes up. You should see bubbles forming up.
• Remove from the heat and add the butter. Mix until all combined.
• Spread the cream in a clean tray, spread sugar on top so a crust doesnt form.
• Cover with cling film and put into the fridge.
• ** you can do this the day before or while doing the croissant folds.

Croissant Dough Ingredients:

• 500g strong white flour
• 12g fine sea salt
• 55g sugar
• 40g soft butter
• 15g dried yeast
• 140ml cold water
• 140mg milk
• 250g butter block – unsalted if possible.

Croissant Dough Process:

• Put flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Mix all together
• Add the butter and crumb it with your fingers until all is mixed.
• In a another bowl, mix water, milk and dried yeast.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mix and add the liquid. Mix all until all is combined. Dont over do it.
• Cover the bowl and put in the bridge for 8-12 hours.
• Make an envelope of 20x20cm aprox with baking paper. Put the butter block inside and pounce the butter until it fills the paper with a rolling pin. You should have a nice thin flat block of butter. Put the envelope back in the fridge
• Take the dough out of the bridge and place it on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll it out to for a rectangle double of your butter blocker.
• Place the butter in the center and then cover it with the rest of the dough.
• Tap the dough gently with the rolling pin to help to seal the sides.
• With the seam running top to bottom, roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, roughly 1/2 rolling wide, 1 1/4 rolling pin long (rolling pin aprox 50cm).
• Brush any flour and fold the dough in thirds. Tap the dough with the rolling pin. Repeat the same process: roll the dough 1/2 rolling wide, 1 1/4 long and fold. This is a full fold.
• Wrap the dough in baking paper and cling film. Rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Take the dough and give it half fold, so only roll and fold once instead of twice. Rest for another 30 minutes in the fridge wrapped in baking paper and cling film.
• Apply the last half fold and put back in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Take the cream pastry cream from the fridge and give it a whisk until becomes manageable, like a cream and not solid as we will have to spread it over the dough.
• Take the dough out of the fridge. In a lightly floured surface, roll it 3/4 pin wide and 1 1/4 long.
• Spread the pastry cream with a spatula evenly on top of the dough.

• Spread the raisins, sultanas, etc on top.

• Roll the dough as like making a giant cigar or pipe line.
• Get ready two trays with baking paper.
• Slide the dough roll with a sharp knife. Clean it after each cut. Put each slide into the trays. I managed 16 slides plus two leftovers.
• Seal putting the seam underneath each slide.
• Egg wash all slides.
• Turn the lights from the oven, put the two trays on it and add a small bowl of boiling water. We want to create a proving room.
• Let it raise for 1h, check it and be sure they dont over proof

• Pre-heat the oven at 180C-190C.
• Egg wash again all slides.
• Put one tray in the oven and add some splash of water to create steam.
• Bake for 20m aprox or until all golden on top
• Remove and add second tray.
• In a small bowl, add 3-4 tsp of bloody orange mermelade and boiling water so it gets thinner and more liquid.
• Brush the pastries with the mermelade as soon as you take them from the oven.

This is the result!

To be honest, for being the first time, I was quite happy with the outcome.

Room for improvement:

1- I think I put too much pastry cream

2- I think I over proof them (2h in the oven!) as the pastry wasn’t really crunchy.

3- A bit mor fruit?

4- Pastry cream had only 3 egg yolks. I should try 4 and use full fat milk.

This is a typical Southern Portugal cake that I tried two Christmas and quite liked as looks simple and tasty. So finally this weekend was the time to try this recipe.

• 75ml olive oil
• 150g plain flour
• 1/2 tbs cinnamon
• 1/2 tbs baking powder

• Add honey and oil, bit a bit and keep whisking.
• Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder and anise. Mix all well
• Pour the mix in a greased tin.
• Bake for 45 minutes aprox. Use a tooth stick or similar to check the inside is cook before removing from oven.

Result:

It raised more than I expected. It wasn’t as moist as I remember but it was tasty. Based on the ingredients reminded me of a olive-Greek cake I did some months ago.

I checked other recipes like this so maybe I will try again at some point.

Lemon zest garnish ingredients:

• 1/2 lemon skin cut at julienne (long and narrow stripes)
• 50ml water

• Make a “beurre manie” that is mixing the butter and flour by hand in a bowl.
• Scold the milk with the vanilla (just hit the boiling point). Then at medium heat, add pieces of the “beurre manie” and whisk non stop with the milk. It is like doing “bechamel” sauce. Once the whisk is not useful, move to a wooden spoon and keep mixing.
• At the end you will have kind off a ball, keep cooking for 1-2 minutes to be sure the flour is properly cooked.
• Remove from heat and let it cool down
• Add the 2 egg yolks one at each time to the “ball”. It should become like a thick cream.
• Whisk the egg whites until snow peak. Then add the sugar and lemon zest and whisk again until snow peak. This is the meringe
• Now fold a 1/3 of the meringe into the pudding butter. Keep doing the same 1/3 at the time.
• Once you have all mixed, pour the butter into the moulds up to 3/4.
• Using a deep tray, put the moulds and fill it with water (hot if possible). Be careful the moulds dont float!
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden on top and risen.
• Prepare the egg custard while waiting

Fresh egg custard sauce ingredients:

• 75ml double cream

• Add the egg mix to the liquid and mix with a wooden spoon.
• Keep mixing until the liquid thick up a bit! Dont over do it! If you ran a finger in the back of the spoon when covered with the custard, it should keep apart.
• Remove from heat and pour it in a container. Cover with cling film

Presentation:

• Once the pudding moulds are ready, remove the mould, be sure you take off the paper too!
• Put each pudding in the middle of a dish.
• Pour the custard around the pudding
• Put a spoon of the lemon syrup on top of the pudding (put in microware if solid)

This is it!

It was actually quite nice. Spongy and lemony.

• Mix together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center.
• Warm the milk at body temperature
• Pour milk, melted butter and beaten eggs into the flour. Mix all together and then knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough. It will be a bit sticky at the very beginning but dont add any flour.
• Shape the dough into a ball, add a bit of oil into the bowl, put the dough, cover with clean film and let it prove until double in size (1h?)
• Pre-heat oven at 180C
• Prepare a tray with butter and a coating of flour to make it anti-sticky.
• Prepare the chelsea buns tins. Put a layer of melted butter, then add a piece of baking paper of the same diameter to cover the bottom. Cover again with a bit of melted butter. Tray to cut another piece of baking paper for the side of the tin. Add a bit of butter again.

Swiss Buns:

• Once the dough has double in size, put it on a lightly flour surface and knock the air out.
• Cut 6 pieces of 80gr aprox. Cover the pieces and the big dough with the bowl and a towel so they dont dry out.
• For each piece, make a ball, flat it with your palm, put pressure and make circules with your hand, remove pressure gradually and until you have a ball again.
• Then roll it as it were a “cigar”. Put it in the tray. Leave around 3cm distance between each “cigar”.
• Prove again until double in size (25-30m). Move to the Chelsea Buns.
• Then bake for 6 minutes aprox or until golden light brown.
• Let it cool down before adding the sugar coating.
• Optional: make white fondant icing. For each Swiss bun, dip only the top, the lift it, let the fondant to drip by one side and then with a finger, clean the fondant drip without leaving the finger mark.

Chelsea Buns:

• With the left-over dough and using a rolling-pin, spread the dough into a big rectangle. At least 42x25cm.
• With a brush, cover the dough with the melted butter.
• Mix sugar and spice, then spread it over the dough.
• Spread evenly the chopped currants and sultanas.
• With the roll, push a bit the dry fruit.
• Make a roll with the dough, start by the “long” side. Be sure it is tight but dont break it.
• With a sharp knife, cut both end until you have an even form. Then cut 12-14 pieces from the roll.
• Put one piece in the middle, then put another at 5 or 6 other pieces around as it were a flower. Be sure the end of each piece points to the middle.
• Put for tins to prove again. Aprox 25 minutes. They should grow until there is no space between each piece and raise a bit too.
• Bake until the top is golden brown. At 180C, aprox 15-20 minutes.
• Glaze with the sugar syrup as soon as the tins are removed from the oven. Remove the buns from the tin!

This is the result!

Dough Ingredients (12 units):

• 660g strong flour
• 75g sugar
• 5g salt
• 60g unsalted butter
• 30g liquid egg
• 20g dry yeast
• 150g warm water
• 150g milk

Filling/Coating

• egg wash
• 100ml boling water + 100g sugar + cinnamon stick + star anise
• jam
• double cream: whipped + vanilla essence or 1tsp of coffee.

Process

• Warm water and milk at body temperature. Then add yeast and mix.
• In a bowl, mix flour, salt and sugar. Then rubber the butter until you have a breadcrumb look mix.
• Add egg to the milk and mix.
• Add liquid mix to the flour.
• Mix all together until forming a ball.
• Knead on the table until you have a smooth ball. When you poke it, it should spring back in slow motion. For 7-10 minutes aprox.
• Put the dough in the bowl, with a bit of oil, cover with cling film and let it prove until double in size. This is the most difficult thing to do at home. Try to put in a switch-on oven with a bit of boiling water in a small pan to simulate a proving machine (40C?). In a proving machine takes 1h.
• In a lightly flour surface, tip your dough and roll it as a long ping. Use a scale and cut 12 pieces. It should be 92g each aprox.
• With each piece, make a ball, with one plant of your hand, push to the table and start rolling releasing pressure until a ball forms. Put each ball in a tray with baking paper. Cover the pieces while you make the balls.
• Prove the balls again until double in size. Try the oven again with a bit of boiling water. 1h aprox. You can as well, try donuts with a whole. Just with a dusted finger, make a whole in the middle and spin the dough. Be sure the whole is quite big in diameter and when it proves may close.
• Second most difficult part. Deep frying. Keeping the temperature is critical so your will need a temperature prove and patience. Be sure the oil is at 170C. Add two balls (max) in you have a deep fryer. If you use a sauce pan, fry one ball at each time. Fry aprox for 1 minute each side. Ideally you should have a white lien in the middle. If the oil is below 170C the donuts will get soggy, too hot, they will burn. So again, be patience.
• As well, you can bake in the oven, aprox 10 minutes at 180C. Just give it an egg wash and bake until golden. Use a toothpick to check they are baked inside. Then give it a sugar-water coating immediately after taking out of the oven.
• For the deep-fry donuts, let them cool down. Then coat them with a mix of sugar/cinnamon.
• Now you can add the fillings. With a knife, make a hole in the white line and pipe your filling. For the oven ones, cut in the middle around 3/4 and pipe your fillings.

This is my outcome:

I filling some with coffee cream, jam and plain cream.

They were really nice. I didnt expect this result. Again, critical is the proving and deep frying at the correct temperature.

Soda Bread Ingredients:

• 170g self raising flour
• 170g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 290ml (1/2 pint) buttermilk

Soda Bred Process:

• Pre-heat oven at 200C
• Mix the flours, salt and bicarbonate into a large bowl.
• Make a well in the center and pour the buttermilk, mixing with a fork to form a soft dough.
• Knead for 3-4 minutes in a lightly floured surface.
• Form a ball with the sides of your hands, flatten a bit the top.
• Cut the ball in 8 pieces with a big knife. Use a bit of oil so the knife doesn’t stick.
• Let is rest for 15 minutes. Prepare a tray lightly floured.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Check with a toothstick that comes out clean. And it should sound hollow when tapping the bottom.
• Cool in a wire rack.

Ingredients for Peshwari Naan Bread:

• 3/4 tsp instant yeast
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 60ml body temperature water
• 140g plain flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 60ml/54g Greek style yogurt
• 1/2 tsp vegetable oil

Naan Filling:

• 28g butter
• 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
• 24g raisins
• 22g almonds

Naan Process:

• Mix yeast, sugar and water. Wait a 1-2 minutes until the liquid is a bit bubbly.
• Mix flour and salt in a bowl
• Add the water mix to the yogurt and oil.
• Add the yogurt mix to the flour. Mix well with a fork
• Knead for 5 minutes. It is going to be sticky. Add a bit extra flour if needed.
• Put the dough back in a lightly oiled bowl.
• Let is prove until double in size. 1h at least
• Prepare the filling. In a chopping board put all ingredients but butter. Chopped all them until they are fine.
• Add the butter, mix all ingredients and form 3 balls.
• Once the dough has risen. Divide in 3 parts.
• With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each dough into a small circle, put a piece of butter in the middle. Wrap it with the rest of dough.
• Roll the dough ball with the pin trying to form an eye-drop. It should be quick, not many passes with the pin.
• Put the naans on a ligthly floured towel.
• Heat up a skillet. Once hot, (just a drop of oil), put a naan. Wait until puffs up and start to get brown dots in the bottom.
• Flip and wait for the same. Check it doesnt burn! Likely less than 1 minute.
• Repeat for the other naans.

This is the result:

The soad bread was very tasty and super quick to make!!!

The naans were tasty too. I guess the filling can be very different.
