  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 min
  • Yield: 10 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • baking pan (I used a 28x8cm / 11”x3” loaf pan)
  • large bowl
  • measuring cup
  • plastic wrap (or kitchen towel)
  • small bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • garlic press
  • rolling pin

Ingredients

Units Scale

DOUGH

  • 600 grams all-purpose flour
  • 42 grams fresh yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 50 milliliters oil of your choice (I used cold-pressed rapeseed oil)
  • 350 milliliters lukewarm water

FILLING

  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 30 grams fresh herbs (I used thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary & parsley)
  • 125 grams soft butter
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. For the dough, mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, measure out the lukewarm water, crumble in the fresh yeast, and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add the yeast water and olive oil to the flour-sugar-salt mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. With a wet hand, grab one side of the dough, lift it up, and fold it into the middle. Repeat with the other three sides. Let the dough rest for another 10 minutes, then repeat the folding process and let the dough rise, covered, for 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Finely chop the herbs and peel the garlic cloves, then either finely chop them or use a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper into a paste and set aside (do not refrigerate, the butter should remain spreadable). Prepare the baking pan by either greasing it with a bit of butter or lining it with parchment paper, and set aside.
  4. After the dough has risen for an hour, perform one final round of folding and let it rise, covered, for another hour.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2” thick. Spread the butter-garlic-herb paste evenly over the dough. Cut the dough into strips about 8cm / 3” wide. Fold each strip like an accordion and place them upright in the baking pan with the buttered side facing up. Repeat with all the strips, pressing the dough snugly into the pan. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F. Bake the dough for about 30 minutes. Serve warm or let cool. And now enjoy this piece of happiness 🙂

Garlic Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2 hrs
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • sealable container (oil bottle)
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 garlic bulbs
  • 250 milliliters extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel all garlic cloves and put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until there are only tiny pieces of the garlic left.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 108°-110°C (226°-230°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for about 20 minutes so that the oil gets more infused.
  5. After the 20 minutes, pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  6. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  7. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to a few days.

  • 400g all-purpose flour (3 cups + 1 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 220ml very hot water (1 cup)
Easy Homemade Dumpling Wrapper

ACTIVE: 5 min

PASSIVE: –

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment
  • medium-sized bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • two medium-sized Tupperware containers with lids
  • small rolling pin
  • parchment paper
  • two chopsticks
  • dough cutter (or the dull side of a knife)
  • round dough cutter, about 11 cm in diameter (4” to 4.5”)
  • Cut the parchment paper into 58-64 squares, each with sides measuring 12 cm (5″)
}

ACTIVE: 75 min

PASSIVE: 60 min

COOKING

1. In a bowl, mix the flour with 1 tsp of salt. Then pour the very warm (not boiling) water into the center and stir with two chopsticks until the dough no longer combines easily. You’ll have larger flakes of dough and still quite a bit of loose flour in the bowl.

2. Now, continue with your hands and knead the dough until all the flour is incorporated and the dough has a smooth texture. It should be as soft as an earlobe, which will take about 5-8 minutes.

3. Form the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Stretch plastic wrap tightly over the bowl to prevent the dough from drying out. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes, though 60 minutes is better, as the longer it rests, the easier it will be to work with later.

4. Once the resting time is up, remove the plastic wrap and place the dough on a clean work surface. Quarter the dough and then halve each quarter, and then cut those halves into four equal pieces, resulting in a total of 32 small dough pieces. Each piece will eventually make about 2 dumpling wrappers, so you’ll end up with around 58-64 pieces in total.

5. To keep the dough soft and pliable throughout the rolling process and prevent it from drying out, place all the unrolled dough pieces into one of the Tupperware containers. Lay the lid loosely on top so you can easily grab a new piece to roll out. Now, take the first piece of dough from the container.

6. Dust a little flour on your work surface and on your piece of dough. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it’s big enough for the 11cm (4″ to 4.5″) dough cutter to fit over it with a little edge showing, and cut out the shape. Of course, pros can roll the dough directly into rounds without a cutter 😉 Then, take your second Tupperware container and place a square of parchment paper in it. Place the cut-out wrapper on the parchment and cover it with another piece of parchment. Replace the lid loosely. Any dough scraps from cutting should be placed back in the container with the other unrolled pieces.

7. Continue this process with each piece of dough until all the dough is used up. Knead the dough scraps back into a ball, divide it into 26-32 small pieces, and start the process over.

8. It’s worth noting that the number of wrappers can vary depending on how thin you roll the dough and the size of your cutter. Each rolled and cut wrapper weigh about 10g (1/3 oz).

9. You should process the rolled wrappers as soon as possible, as the dough becomes stickier the longer it is stored. To freeze, you can either place the whole Tupperware container with the wrappers into the freezer or portion them into Ziploc bags. Make sure to keep parchment paper between the wrapper. The wrappers should be at room temperature for easy filling. You can use the dough for frying, boiling, or steaming.

}

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 😉
