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

}

ACTIVE: –

PASSIVE: –

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 😉

COOKING

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Now add the salt and flour and beat with the whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes to thicken.

2. Place the bacon slices in a cold pan and cook over medium heat until they start to shrink and turn slightly brown. Then add a teaspoon of clarified butter and continue cooking the bacon for another 2-3 minutes—it should be dark pink but not too crispy.

3. Pour half of the batter over the bacon and let it cook for about 6-8 minutes. The batter should be fully cooked on one side, firm, and barely liquid before flipping.

4. Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side, then transfer to a plate. Serve garnished with marjoram, freshly ground pepper, and microgreens.

ACTIVE: 25 min

PASSIVE: –

COOKING

1. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Put the ground beef into the pan and season it with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and ½ teaspoon each of oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook the meat until it forms a dark crust at the bottom of the pan. Then add 1 heaping tablespoon of tomato paste to the meat, mix everything together, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour beef broth into the pan to deglaze it, scrape off the crust from the bottom, and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes until the broth forms a creamy sauce around the meat.

2. Meanwhile, lay out 6 tortilla wraps side by side and spread half of the cheese on one half of each tortilla, leaving the other half free.

3. Spread the meat directly from the pan onto the cheese on each tortilla. Wipe the pan clean and place it back on the stove.

4. Now, spread the second half of the cheese on top of the meat and use a spoon to distribute the filling to the edge of half of each tortilla. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half. Press down firmly.

5. Cook two of the filled quesadillas side by side in the pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil on both sides over medium heat until the tortilla becomes crispy golden brown and the cheese inside is melted. Remove from the pan and cut in half.

6. Place three pieces of the quesadillas on each plate, along with two lime wedges, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with your favorite salsa and sour cream for dipping.
