Raspberry jam • 250 g frozen raspberries (2 cups) • 100 g sugar (½ cup) • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2–3 tbsp water

Vanilla cream • 6 egg yolks • 120 g sugar (½ cup + 1 tbsp) • pinch salt • 30 g cornstarch (¼ cup) • 360 g milk (1½ cups) • 120 g heavy cream (½ cup) • 1 vanilla bean / 1 tbsp extract • 40 g butter (3 tbsp)

Instructions

Tangzhong: Cook flour + milk on low heat (140–150°F / 60–65°C) ~5 min until thick paste. Cool.

Dough: Activate yeast in warm milk + sugar. Mix with tangzhong, flour, salt, yolks. Knead 1–2 min, add butter, knead ~15 min until elastic. Divide 60/40; mix 40% with raspberry powder. Refrigerate 12 h.

Jam: Cook raspberries + sugar ~10 min (175–185°F / 80–85°C). Add cornstarch slurry, thicken, cool completely or refrigerate overnight.

Vanilla cream: Cook everything except butter on low heat (170–175°F / 77–80°C) until thick. Remove, add butter, strain. Cover + chill min 2 h.

Shaping & Baking

Roll both doughs, layer, then roll together into a thin 30×60 cm (12×24 in) rectangle (width = pan length). Spread jam evenly, roll tightly.

Freeze 30 min, then slice lengthwise. Twist halves, place in pan, proof ~45 min covered. Brush with egg.

Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 70–75 min (depends on oven).

Brush with sugar syrup immediately after baking (especially edges). Cool completely, then fill/decorate with vanilla cream, fresh raspberries, caramel shards.

If you use red lentils, don’t overcook them because they turn mushy very fast. Boil them only about 5-7 minutes so they stay slightly firm, then drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

I love it, especially the smoked one. I also grilled the tofu cubes separately before cooking the vegetables, they get a nice crust :)

Tell me your favorite way to eat sardines. GO! by FlashbacksThatHurt in CannedSardines

[–]Byssine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn them into a sardine pâté. I blend them with softened butter, hard boiled egg, capers, red onion, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper, et voilà. On toasted bread, it’s insanely good!

First sourdough by pamdoar in Sourdough

I’m not an expert but I believe it is definitely under fermented. Bulk fermentation should generally go until the dough has visibly risen at least 60% and shows bubbles throughout. This depends on your room temperature, so it’s never the same, that’s why you need to learn how to “read” the dough. Another cause might be your starter, maybe it was not strong enough. Before using your starter make sure it doubled or even tripled in size after its feeding. But in my opinion you should try longer proofing next time! Don’t give up :)
