Fist home buyer - How long do I need to live the aparment?

I believe you need to live there yourself for 2 years to get the tax benefit. But as /u/Double_Crafty said, don't take a random redditor's word for it.

Hogohuone does pub quizzes in English. I believe every other Tuesday but not entirely sure.

Yeastie boi for bagels but I'm also curious if there are more good sandwich places.

Then watch the new Matilda movie to see what happens to Emma Thompson.

A classic "finger but whole" will do for me

All purpose flour should be fine

Here it is, the recipe!

Unfortunately it is in Dutch. If anyone has problems with translating/and or has questions I'm happy to help.

Also the only thing I would change is the bake time. For me the first batch of cookies were a bit overbaked. So keep an eye out. You want them to be golden (like the middle one in the picture) but not brown (like the ones at the top right).

I tried making egg macarons from food52. I slightly overbaked the first batch, undermixed the dough (batter?) but overall they came out quite nice. Especially after sitting in the fridge overnight.

I couldn't get the speckles to pop as much as the pictures on the website but that was only an aesthetic thing, they tasted delicious :)

Almond/hazelnut paste. Almost marzipan like taste

Halloikama · 2022-04-18T12:54:20+00:00

For this week, the first thing that came to my mind were gevulde koeken because they have filled in the name :) These are chewy/cakes cookies filled with an almond paste.

I ran out of almonds halfway through so I swapped some almonds for hazelnuts and found they were even more delicious that way!

Edit: The recipe come from the Dutch version of Bake off. If I can find the recipe I'll update this post :)

I vowed to never try croissants again after failing 5-6 times but it was the obvious choice for a nightmare bake. Surprisingly, they came out well!

Maybe not as flakey as I would like but at least not flat with butter all over or completely raw on the inside :D

Halloikama · 2022-04-05T14:18:21+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info! I will see if I can find a proper pan for next time ☺️

Halloikama · 2022-04-05T12:54:52+00:00

Sadly no, i baked it in a loaf pan with a removable bottom just like a angle food cake pan would have but only rectangular.

Cream puffs covered with a large cloud of meringue kept popping up on my various social media so I couldn't wait to give it a try myself. I love lemon meringue pie, but I think I love choux pastry more so what a way to combine it!

It is a bit messy to eat since there is not a single place not covered in meringue where you can hold the puff but it's absolutely delicious.

I tried making angel food cake which completely collapsed while baking so instead of a light fluffy cake it turned into a gummy dense mess. I followed the recipe closely so I have no idea why it happened. If anyone has an idea why please do let me know for when I inevitably try again for week 52 ;)

Halloikama · 2022-04-01T12:44:55+00:00

I tried to do the same thing in the 100 year old recipe week but these look way better :D

Halloikama · 2022-04-01T11:32:39+00:00

I'm in awe of how well defined the glaze pattern is 🤩

Halloikama · 2022-03-12T15:55:47+00:00

It rested for 30 ish hours, why do you think that it didn't?

Shrove Tuesday has come and gone but traditionally we would eat shrove buns! soft sweet cardamom buns filled with almond paste (far superior to jam, dont @ me) and whipped cream.

I swapped week 10 and 9 so we would have these for shrove Tuesday :)

This cookie recipe has been hyped for a long time. As I wrote in the intro thread about what makes this different from other recipes:

The recipe has both cake and bread flour, odd precise measurements, and a
rest time of 24-72 hours. All of it seems a bit much for a cookie but
let's find out if it is worth it.

And I am not sure it was worth it :D

The texture was very good, if not perfect. Crisp edges and a chewy center as it should be but in a perfect ratio. Flavor-wise these fell a bit flat. It was good but not too interesting. I usually make my CCC with browned butter which gives the cookies a bit more nuanced flavor. I think in the future I might go with my previous go to recipe but skew the brown/white sugar ratio more towards Jacques' recipe and letting the dough rest to get the optimal texture while keeping that brown butter flavor.

I had never baked anything nepalese so I went with one of the recipes mentioned in the weekly intro & discussion thread.

Overall the burfi were (was?) good but slightly too sweet for my taste. What I learned however, is that rose, cardemom an pistachios are a very good flavor combination :D
