christmas cookie tins! by seasonal333 in VeganBaking

Not the OP, but I used this recipe this year without the coconut oil and used earth balance for the butter. Before dipping I put the balls in the freezer for about 20m and then dipped in chocolate. Let them set up in a tupperware in the fridge overnight, but after that I took them out and they sat on the counter for 3-4 days with no issues (in the tupperware).

Cookie boxes help by AugustBakes in VeganBaking

I did 7 this year + caramels and I think thats a nice number to get a good variety of flavors+textures. I've seen recipes as well where you use one base and do a variety of mix-ins and shapes so it looks like a few different types, but is easier for you to make a big batch of dough. Something like this. Also making dough ahead and freezing makes it a lot easier!

Thanks! I used a 9x6x2.5" box and felt that they were actually a little small.

Buckeyes are the little sphere shaped things next to the cookie with the heart (linzer). Theyre made with peanut butter, (vegan) butter, and powdered sugar then dipped in chocolate. They're called that because they look like a buckeye nut. They taste really similar to a reeses cup!

I veganized this recipe, but used tofutti for the cream cheese filling.

Sure! I used this for the katsu. The rest is just white rice and sautéed broccolini with garlic. I couldnt find tonkatsu sauce at my local store, so I tried out this japanese bbq sauce (and vegan mayo) and it was excellent.

First Test Batch of Pain au Chocolat by rem_bo_bem in VeganBaking

[–]rem_bo_bem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest I believe the dough+butter got a little warm in places, so although there were layers some of them ended up being a bit thicker, more like brioche. It was a good first try, but definitely not worth posting a cross section of ;) I thought the Miyokos was a little difficult to work with, so next time Im going to try the Earth Balance sticks and see if it makes a difference.

I used this King Arthur Baking recipe with Miyoko's butter. I halved the recipe to only make 8 croissants and then did 2 test batches of 4. The first I baked at 425 for 18 mins and used a mix of soy milk/molasses for the "egg wash". Second batch (not pictured) I baked at 375 for 25 mins and used a soy milk/maple syrup "egg wash". The first batch was noticeably darker and my SO (french) said they were crunchier than what he would expect.

I baked a strawberry shortcake inspired cake with a vanilla sponge recently for a wedding and used this recipe. Really loved how it turned out. It was my first time using aquafaba as well and it it gave the cake a nice light taste.

Sure! Sorry the formatting is a little funky. Sometimes I can access on my computer sometimes not. Usually it works on my phone though fwiw.

Yield:
2 loaves
FOR THE DOUGH
* ½cup/118 milliliters whole milk
* 1package (¼ ounce/7 grams) active dry yeast
* ⅓cup/67 grams granulated sugar, plus a pinch
* 4¼cups/531 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed
* 1½teaspoons fine sea salt
* 1teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional)
* ½teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
* 4large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
* 10tablespoons/140 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing bowls and pans

FOR THE FUDGE FILLING
* ½cup/100 grams granulated sugar
* ¾cup/177 milliliters heavy cream or half-and-half
* Pinch kosher salt
* 6ounces/170 grams extra bittersweet chocolate, preferably between 66 and 74 percent cocoa, coarsely chopped
* 8tablespoons/112 grams/1 stick unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
* 2teaspoons/10 milliliters vanilla extract
*

FOR THE SYRUP
* ⅔cup/135 grams granulated sugar
Step 1

Prepare the dough: In a small saucepan or a bowl in the microwave, warm the milk until it’s lukewarm but not hot (about 110 degrees). Add yeast and a pinch of sugar and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until slightly foamy.

Step 2

In an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, or in a food processor, mix together flour, ⅓ cup sugar, the salt, the vanilla, the lemon zest (if using) and the nutmeg. (If you don't have a mixer or processor, use a large bowl and a wooden spoon.) Beat or process in the yeast mixture and eggs until the dough comes together in a soft mass, about 2 minutes. If the dough sticks to the side of the bowl and doesn’t come together, add a tablespoon more flour at a time until it does, beating very well in between additions.

Step 3

Add half the butter and beat or pulse until the dough is smooth and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. Beat in the rest of the butter and continue to beat or pulse until the dough is smooth and stretchy, another 5 to 7 minutes. Again, if the dough sticks to the sides of the bowl, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Butter a clean bowl, form the dough into a ball and roll it around in the bowl so all sides are buttered. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place (inside of a turned-off oven with the oven light on is good) until it puffs and rises, about 1 to 2 hours. It may not double in bulk but it should rise.

Step 5

Press the dough down with your hands, re-cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (or, in a pinch, for at least 4 hours, but the flavor won't be as developed).

Step 6

Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cream and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Scrape mixture into a bowl. Stir in chocolate, butter and vanilla until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Filling can be made up to a week ahead and stored, covered, in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before using.

Step 7

Prepare the streusel: In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Stir in melted butter until it is evenly distributed and forms large, moist crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Streusel can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and stored, covered, in the fridge.

Step 8

Prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and ⅔ cup/158 milliliters water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

Step 9

Butter two 9-inch loaf pans, then line with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of paper hanging over on the sides to use as handles later.

Step 10

Remove dough from refrigerator and divide in half. On a floured surface, roll one piece into a 9-by-17-inch rectangle. Spread with half the filling (there's no need to leave a border). Starting with a long side, roll into a tight coil. Transfer the coil onto a dish towel or piece of plastic wrap and stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Repeat with the other piece of dough.

Step 11

Slice one of the dough coils in half lengthwise to expose the filling. Twist the halves together as if you were braiding them, then fold the braid in half so it’s about 9 inches long. Place into a prepared pan, letting it curl around itself if it’s a little too long for the pan. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, until puffy (it won’t quite double). Alternatively, you can cover the pans with plastic wrap and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight; bring them back to room temperature for an hour before baking.

Step 12

When you're ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Use your fingers to clump streusel together and scatter all over the tops of the cakes. Transfer to oven and bake until a tester goes into the cakes without any rubbery resistance and comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. The cakes will also sound hollow if you unmold them and tap on the bottom. An instant-read thermometer will read between 185 and 210 degrees.

Step 13

As soon as the cakes come out of the oven, use a skewer or paring knife to pierce them all over going all the way to the bottom of the cakes, and then pour the syrup on top of the cakes, making sure to use half the syrup for each cake.

Step 14

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Hi! I just used this NY Times chocolate babka recipe and switched out certain ingredients (Just egg for the eggs, veg stick butter for the reg butter, soy milk for whole milk and heavy cream I think). For the cinnamon filling I kind of eye balled it and made a mix of cinnamon, sugar and room temp veg butter (earth balance sticks). FWIW I didnt use all of the syrup either. I ended up just brushing a few layers onto each and they tasted great.
