  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 75 min
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl into which the medium saucepan fits
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • fine sieve
  • sealable container
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30 grams cilantro
  • 250 milliliters unrefined / cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Separate the leaves from the stems and put the leaves into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes bright green and no pieces of cilantro are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer for the next 10 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the dark green oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is no longer boiling and is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, rinse the strainer and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in there. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

INGREDIENTS

FOR 12 ROLLS

DOUGH

  • 550g all-purpose flour (the germans can use type 550) (4.5 cups)
  • 250ml whole-fat milk (1 cup)
  • 50g white sugar (1/4 cup)
  • 75g butter (1/3 cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 20g fresh yeast (0.7 oz)
  • pinch of salt

FILLING

  • 300g cream cheese (1 + 1/3 cup)
  • 60g powdered sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 100g lemon curd (1 cup)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch 
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

GLAZE

  • 150g powdered sugar (1.5 cups)
  • 50g butter (1/4 cup)
  • 150g cream cheese (2/3 cup)
  • zest of one lemon
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • funfetti sprinkles

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment
  • medium-sized bowl
  • small pot (or microwave)
  • rolling pin
  • baking dish – my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch)
  • whisk
  • sewing thread
  • none
}

ACTIVE: 25 min

PASSIVE: 3 hrs

COOKING

1. First, in a medium-sized bowl, stir together the filling. Mix 300g of cream cheese, 60g of powdered sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp of cornstarch and put it in the fridge.

2. Next, prepare the dough. In a small pot, warm 250ml of full-fat milk to no more than 38°C (100°F) so the yeast isn’t killed. Take 1 tbsp from the 50g (1/4 cup) of sugar intended for the dough and add it to the warm milk along with the yeast. Stir everything well with a whisk until the yeast is completely dissolved in the milk. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, add flour, the remaining sugar, the soft butter, an egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything using your hands. Now pour in the yeast-milk mixture and knead everything into a soft, pliable dough for a good 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or cling film and let it rise for 2 hours at 20°-23°C (68°-73°F). The dough should double in volume.

4. After the two hours sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface and place the dough on it. Dust a bit more flour on the dough and roll it out until it’s rectangular and about 1 cm (1/2″) thick throughout.

5. Take the cream cheese filling out of the fridge and spread it evenly over the dough. Now also spread the lemon curd over the cream, working it in a bit – depending on the consistency of the curd.

6. Start rolling up the dough from the longer side. Keep it nice and loose, not too tight, or the filling might ooze out.

7. Cut a long piece of sewing thread and slide it under the middle of the roll. Gently lift both ends of the thread, cross them over the top, and pull downwards, cutting the dough cleanly without squishing it. Proceed with the entire roll, making a total of 12 buns.

8. Place the individual rolls in a baking dish, cover again with the damp towel, and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

9. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

10. After the final 15 minutes of rising, bake the buns in the oven for 30 minutes. They should turn a golden color.

11. Let the buns cool completely. In the meantime, whisk together the glaze made of 150g (1.5 cups) powdered sugar, 150g (2/3 cups) cream cheese, 50g (1/4 cup) soft butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, the zest of one lemon, and the juice of half a lemon.

12. Once the buns are cool, spread the glaze all over them and, if you like, sprinkle some funfetti on top – but that’s optional 😉
