cinnamon bun

original recipe is from:http://whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/CinnamonRollsFantastic.htm


ingredient:

1 cup milk (heated approximately 1 minute in microwave)
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs
, room temperature and beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar

5 cups bread flour

1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten (optional)*
3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast

note: The Vital Wheat Gluten helps the sweet bread dough rise better, be more elastic, and easier to roll out. I have these cinnamon rolls both with and without this ingredient with excellent results.

method (if u using stands mixer):

1-In a large bowl or in the bowl of a 5-quart stand mixer, combine all the ingredients in the order given except the Cinnamon Filling and the Butter Frosting. Using a dough hook, mix everything together until a soft dough forms.

2-Turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface (I use a nonstick cooking spray), and knead until elastic, approximately 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.

(if u using the bread machine):

1- Add all the ingredients, except the Cinnamon Filling and the Butter Frosting, in the bread pan of bread machine. Process according to manufacturer's instructions for a dough setting. NOTE: During the dough setting in the bread machine, there is a rise cycle that will rise the dough.

2-When the bread machine has completed the dough cycle, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. (I use a nonstick cooking spray). Form dough into an oval, cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.

NOTE: Check the dough (don't be afraid to open the lid). It should form a nice elastic ball. If you think the dough is too moist, add additional flour (a tablespoon at a time). The same is true if the dough is looking dry and gnarly. Add warm water (a tablespoon at a time). If you can't judge your dough by looking, stick your finger in and feel the dough. It should be slightly tacky to the touch.

(if using food processor):

1-Put dry mixture in processing bowl with steel blade. While motor is running, add liquid ingredients, butter, and egg. Process until mixed. Continue processing, adding remaining flour until dough forms a soft ball.

2-Turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface (I use a nonstick cooking spray), and knead until elastic, approximately 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.

3-After dough has risen, roll and stretch the dough.then brush the 1/2 cup softened butter (listed below in the Cinnamon Filling) over the top of the dough with a rubber spatula or a pastry brush. Sprinkle Cinnamon Filling over the butter on the prepared dough. Starting with long edge, roll up dough; pinch seams to seal.

NOTE: Rolling the log too tightly will result in cinnamon rolls whose centers pop up above the rest of them as they bake.unless u intend to do that

4-With a knife, lightly mark roll into 1 1/2-inch section. Use a sharp knife (I like to use a serrated knife and saw very gently) or slide a 12-inch piece of dental floss or heavy thread underneath. By bringing the ends of the floss up and criss-crossing them at the top of each mark, you can cut through the roll by pulling the strings in opposite directions. Place cut side up in prepared baking pan, flattening them only slightly. The unbaked cinnamon rolls should not touch each other before rising and baking. Do not pack the unbaked cinnamon rolls together.

TWO OPTIONS:

Refrigerating or Freezing Unbaked Cinnamon Rolls:

  • At this point, the cinnamon rolls can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight (I've actually made them two days in advance) or frozen for 1 month. Before baking, allow rolls to thaw completely and rise in a warm place if frozen. I have found that I have to take the unbaked frozen cinnamon rolls out of the freezer 10 to 12 hours before planning to bake. I just put the frozen cinnamon rolls (container and rolls) on my counter (not in the refrigerator) overnight for 10 to 12 hours.
  • If refrigerated, they can be either baked upon removing from the refrigerator or let come to a room temperature (I've done both ways). They do a slow rise overnight and it is not necessary to let them come to room temperature before baking. NOTE: If you rolls are not rising enough after being refrigerated, your yeast may need to be tested. To overcome this, let them rise, while sitting on the counter, until you achieve the desired rising before baking.


Bake Immediately After Making:

Cover and let rise in a warm place for approximately 45 to 60 minutes or until doubled in size (after rising, rolls should be touching each other and the sides of the pan).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. for regular oven or 325 degrees F. for a convection oven.

  • Bake in a convection oven approximately 15 to 20 minutes until they are a light golden brown.
  • Baked in a regular oven approximately 20 to 25 minutes in a regular oven until they are a light golden brown.


Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Spread Butter Frosting over the cinnamon rolls while still warm. Best served warm, but room temperature is also great!

Yields 15 cinnamon rolls.

CINNAMON FILLING:
1/2 cup butter, melted or softened
1 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3/4 to 1 cup chopped nuts, i use pecan (optional)

Soften the butter; set aside. In a bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; stir in chopped nuts (optional).


BUTTER FROSTING:
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup powdered (confectioners) sugar
1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract or oil (optional)

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon extract or oil until well mixed and creamy. Refrigerate frosting until ready to use and then bring to room temperature before spreading.

chocolate peanut squares

this is a simple dessert that u can do with ur children on weekend since there is no bake involve.it's really simple yet delicious recipe and ur kids will ask more.u'll think to double the recipe =)

ingredient:

1/2 cup (120 grams) smooth peanut butter

1/3 cup (80 ml) light corn syrup

1/3 cup (80 ml) honey

1/2 cup (45 grams) cocoa powder, unsweetened or Dutch-processed

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 cups (80 grams) crisp rice cereal

1 cup (120 grams) peanuts


ingredient for topping:

8 ounces (230 grams) semi sweet chocolate, chopped

1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter


method:
1) Butter or lightly spray with a non stick vegetable spray, an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) square pan. Set aside.

2) Place the peanut butter, corn syrup, honey, cocoa powder, and light brown sugar in a large saucepan. Place over medium high heat and bring this mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add the marshmallows, and stir constantly until mixture is melted and smooth.

3) Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, rice cereal, and peanuts. Press this mixture into the prepared pan and allow to set.

pecan chocolate pie




ingredient for crust:

1 1/4 cups (175 grams) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon (14 grams) granulated white sugar

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, chilled, and cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces

1/8 to 1/4 cup (30 - 60 ml) ice water


method:

1) In a food processor, place the flour, salt, and sugar and process until combined. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal (about 15 seconds). Pour 1/8 cup (30 ml) water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube until the dough just holds together when pinched. If necessary, add more water. Do not process more than 30 seconds.

2) Turn the dough onto your work surface and gather into a ball. Flatten into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour before using. This will chill the butter and relax the gluten in the flour.

3) After the dough has chilled sufficiently, place on a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 13 inch (33 cm) circle.(To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll (always roll from the center of the pastry outwards).) Fold the dough in half and gently transfer to a 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan. Brush off any excess flour and tuck the overhanging pastry under itself. Use a fork to make a decorative borderor else crimp the edges using your fingers. Refrigerate the pastry, covered with plastic wrap, for about 30 minutes before pouring in the filling.

4) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven.

note: alternatively u can buy ready made crust at ur nearest store if u don't have enough time to bake the crust or if u are not sure how to make it.i buy crust sometime..lol ^_^

ingredient for pecan filling:

1 cup (215 grams) dark brown sugar

2/3 cup (160 ml) Golden Syrup (or dark corn syrup)

1 cup dark chip chocolate

4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter

3 large eggs

1/4 cup (60 ml) cream

1/4 tspn salt

1 1/2 - 2 cups (150 - 200 grams) pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped


method:

1) In a large saucepan, heat the brown sugar, Golden Syrup, dark chocolate and butter until boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool until tepid. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. When the boiled syrup has cooled, beat in the eggs, salt, and cream.

2) Remove the chilled pastry crust from the refrigerator and evenly distribute the chopped pecans over the bottom of the crust. Then pour the filling evenly over the nuts. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is just set (a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie will come out clean. (If you find the edges of the pie crust are over browning during baking, cover with foil.) Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipping cream or vanilla ice cream.

Note: To toast pecans - Place pecans on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes in a 350 degree F (180 degree C) oven until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and then chop coarsely.

Easy Frittata


recipe from:


  • 8 eggs ( I used 4 whites & 4 whole eggs)
  • 2 Tbsp milk ( i used half cup )
  • 1 plum tomato, chopped ( i used the big tomato)
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded ( i added 1/2 cup shredded parmesan)
  • 2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled ( i used cooked sausages - cubed)
  • 1/2 cup white mushrooms, sliced ( i used canned )
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 onion- chopped
  • oil for pie pan ( i use my non stick frying pan)
method:
  1. In a bowl beat the eggs and milk together.
  2. Mix in the tomato, 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and basil.
  3. Oil the a 9" pie pan.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pie plate.
  5. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
  6. Top the frittata with the remaining cheese and return to the over for 10 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

    Note: A frittata is the Italian version of an omelet, but is doesn't require sophisticated or tricky maneuvers. Even if you can't make a pretty omelet, you can make a great frittata. The frittata is made "open-face" style and isn't folded over. It's part of what makes Italian comfort food fantastic. It is healthy, tasty, and simple to make. You can add meat or keep it vegetarian. It can be served for breakfast, lunch, or supper.

    If you have eggs and cheese almost everything else can be added. You have some broccoli left over from dinner the night before? Cut it into bite size pieces and include it. I have a friend who adds left over pasta to her frittata! Ask yourself, would you eat it on a pizza or in an omelet? If the answer is "yes" then it should be great in a frittata. Vegetables are always welcome for flavor, color, and crunch. Textures should vary within the frittata. Herbs should be added, whether fresh or dried. Your cheeses will also effect the flavors of your frittata. Spinach, walnuts, and Gorgonzola create a sophisticated frittata. Have fun! Experiment!


baileys cheesecake


  • recipe from: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/344606/baileys-cheesecake


  • Ingredients for a 9-inch cheesecake:
  • 100g/3½oz unsalted butter
  • 250g/8¾oz biscuits (crushed).
  • 450g/1lb Cream cheese such as Philadelphia
  • 1 slug of Baileys Irish cream
  • 100ml/3½oz icing sugar
  • 200ml/10½oz double cream

method:
  1. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the crushed biscuits and mix until the butter has been absorbed.
  2. Remove from the heat and, while still warm, press the mixture (using the back of a spoon) into the bottom of a lined 23cm/9inch springform or flan tin. Leave to set for one hour in the fridge.
  3. While it is chilling, grate the chocolate. Set aside in the fridge if your kitchen is warm.
  4. In a bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is soft. Beat in the icing sugar and a shot of Baileys. Fold in the whipped cream and three-quarters of the chocolate. When the mixture is smooth, smooth it evenly onto the biscuit base.
  6. Refridgerate and allow to set for at least two hours. If you can bear to leave it overnight, so much the better.
  7. To serve, remove from the tin and decorate. You can either sprinkle the remaining grated chocolate over the top for a simple finish, or add some individual chocolates and flakes for a more elegant and ceremonial dressing.
  8. Some people serve individual portions with additional cream, poured over or whipped into a peak.

cotton cheesecake (aka Japanese cheesecake)


recipe from: http://maryahearn.com/recipes/fluffy-cheesecake/light-as-air-fluffy-cheesecake-recipe/

i've change a few from the original recipe



ingredient:

1/4 c milk

½ tsp lemon juice

1 lb. Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese (let soften at room temperature)

1 pint Daisy sour cream

6 eggs, separated

1 ¼ c sugar

1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 tbspn corn strach*

2 tbspn self raising flour*


*i added this 2 ingredient cause i want a little bit dense but still fluffy cheesecake


method:

1-Blend together in large bowl milk, lemon juice and cream cheese. Add to blended ingredients sour cream, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla. Beat egg whites till stiff and fold into mixture.

2-Pour over crumbs and bake 320-325 degree oven for one hour or until center comes out clean on a toothpick. Turn off heat and keep in oven one more hour. Remove sides of pan and chill. (May develop cracks on top which can be covered with sifted powdered sugar when serving).



Helpful suggestions for baking a perfect fluffy cheesecake:

  • Use only large size eggs (not jumbo!)
  • Use Kraft Philadelphia Cream cheese and best brands of sour cream (Daisy, Friendship, or Breakstone). I do not recommend a store brand for this recipe.
  • I advise you to calibrate your oven temperature; if the oven fails to meet its automatic setting, it may be too hot or too cold. Therefore, compensate by using either a lower or higher temperature setting than the recommended (320-325 degrees) range.
  • If you use a silver springform pan, bake at 325° for 1 hour or more. For adark, non-stick springform pan, bake at 300° for at least 1 hour, 15 min. (Thanks to Tony for the tip!)
  • Use a springform pan that measures no less than 9″ in diameter.
  • Fill the springform pan approximately one inch below the rim.
  • Do not beat egg whites ahead of time. They should be stiff but not dry. When egg whites can stand up in peaks after beating then that is the time to stop beating.
  • Carefully fold whites into batter to avoid deflating the egg whites.
