Hi!
Let's just take a break from nail polish and talk about food!
Bread, to be more precisely.
I don't know why but baking bread is one of my favorite things to do.
Here are some of the recipes I tried in the last few months.
The first one is a quick one, it is a recipe for s'more crescent rolls.
It is really simple! Just open the package of crescent rolls and cut them into triangles.
Spread some marshmallow fluff on the dough and put some chocolate chips on the fluff.
Roll the crescent and bake according to package.
These are so yummy! I could eat these all day.
They are sweet and tasty, perfect for kids! And since you bake them in the oven you can make these all year round!
I have to say that these are the first ones I made and that they didn't turnout as great but they still where pretty tasty!
They are a sweet brioche like bread that are a really treat.
I don't eat bread with my dinner but I do eat bread in the morning or for lunch and these make a really nice small breakfast or lunch if you don't feel like eating a lot.
These were a summer favorite.
I can't even tell you how many of these loafs I have made!
I used
this recipe but it is in Dutch so if you can't read Dutch I will just translate it for you.
You will need:
300 grams of wholewheat flower,
200 grams of all purpose flour,
10 grams of salt,
7 grams of yeast,
300/500 ml of lukewarm water.
Mix the salt and both types of flour in a bowl.
Add the yeast to a bit of lukewarm water to activate.
Than simply mix the dry with the wet ingredients.
And knead the mixture until you have a smooth dough.
Grease a bowl and place your dough ball in the bowl, brush some oil on the top of the dough ball so the dough won't form a crust, place a damp towel over the bowl.
Let the dough rise for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes you want to knead the dough again and form the loaf shape.
Make a few cuts in the loaf and let them rise again on a piece of baking paper for 30 minutes.
After the second rising you want to bake them for 20 minutes at 240 degrees Celsius.
The bread is nice and a bit salty, which we really like when we are barbecuing.
But if you don't like you bread as salty you can just use less salt.
What is bread without a spread?
Here is the perfect spread to go with you baguettes.
It is a homemade garlic butter.
I started with my homemade butter.
Just shake a jar of heavy whipping cream for a long time.
You will notice a big lump forming, this is you butter.
The liquid is butter milk, it is perfect for cupcakes!
Separate the butter from the butter milk.
To the butter you want to add some crushed garlic, Italian herbs and a touch of salt.
Mix it together and you will have an awesome garlic butter to go with your bread.
I LOVE this one! It is so amazing.
The cinnamon and raisins really give the bread a fall/winter flavor, I am definitely making this bread more often!
That's all for this In The Kitchen post.
I hope you liked it.
