Japanese milk bun

Japanese milk bun

Even though rice is a staple food in Japan, bread is also a popular breakfast menu in the country. And one of the most popular Japanese bread which becomes worldwide is Japanese milk buns. This bun has a really soft texture and milky taste. Because of the sweet and milky taste, you can just directly eat it right away without any additions. Or, you can slice the bun to thin slices and eat it with your favorite jams. You can make this Japanese milk bread at home even though you probably need to try several times in order to get the perfect texture.

Japanese milk bread is made with water roux or tangzhong starter. Tangzhong is a dough that is made from the mixture of flour and water with the ratio 1:5. 1 for the flour and 5 for the water. This dough is then heated until it is thickened or looks like gelatin. This gelatin is the ingredient that differentiates Japanese milk bread with other buns. This way, more waters are absorbed in the dough, making the bread more elastic and way softer. The most important is the Japanese bread has longer-lasting freshness though it is left in room temperature for 2 days.

Japanese Milk Buns

Even though rice is a staple food in Japan, bread is also a popular breakfast menu in the country. And one of the most popular Japanese bread which becomes worldwide is Japanese milk buns.

<strong>Water Roux/Tangzhong Starter Ingredients</strong>

  • 50 grams of high protein flour
  • 250 ml of water

<strong>Bun Ingredients</strong>

  • 540 grams of high protein flour
  • 86 grams of sugar
  • A half-teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of full cream milk
  • 11 grams of yeast
  • An egg, whisked
  • 59 grams of whipping cream. (You can also replace it with milk.)
  • 55 ml of milk
  • 185 grams of tangzhong dough
  • 50 grams of melted butter

<strong>Glaze Ingredients</strong>

  • A half-tablespoon of milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon of water or whisked egg

<strong>Water Roux/Tangzhong Starter</strong>

  1. Prepare a small pan, put half of the water and flour in the pan. Stir it with a spatula until the flour is dissolved. After that, add the remaining water and stir again. Heat the pan and cook the tangzhong starter with low heat. Stir the dough continuously so that it will not be burnt. Stir until the dough becomes thickened. Once it is thickened, turn off the heat and let it cool.

The Buns

  1. Prepare a large bowl and put the dry ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and milk powder. Stir it evenly and put aside. Prepare another large bowl and put the wet ingredients: tangzhong dough, milk, egg, whipped, cream, and stir them with a spatula. After that, mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients. You can use a spatula or your hands. Once the ingredients are mixed well, pour the melted butter to the dough and stir again.

  2. Cover a flat table with plastic, sprinkle flour on the table, and place the dough on the table. Knead the dough by pressing it with your hands. Knead it for around 30 minutes until the dough becomes very smooth and soft. Shape the dough into a solid round ball. Put the rounded dough into a bowl that has been slightly brushed with oil. Cover it with a clean cloth and leave it for around 40 minutes to an hour. Leave it until the dough becomes twice bigger.

  3. After that, divide the dough into 2 parts. If you use a big loaf baking sheet, you do not have to divide the dough. You just need to directly divide it into 3 parts and make round each part. Cover and leave it again for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, roll out the dough with 1cm thickness. Fold the left and right sides of the dough to the center and roll it out again to tightly close the folds. Roll the dough. Do this step to all of the dough parts that you have divided before. Then, place them in a loaf baking sheet with the folds in the bottom. Cover it again with a clean cloth and leave it for an hour to make the dough even bigger. Brush the surface of the dough with whisked egg or milk.

  4. Heat the oven for half an hour. Next, bake the Japanese milk buns at 180ºC for around 30 minutes to 40 minutes until the surface is brownish. Remove it from the oven and take out the bread. You can let it cool or eat it while it is warm.

Toad in the Hole Recipe that’s Tasty and Simple

Toad in the hole

Toad in the hole

Toad in the hole is a traditional English meal consisting of sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding dough. Generally, this food is served with thick vegetables and onion broth. The origin of the name “Toad-in-the-hole” often creates disputes. Many stated that the unusual name was given because this food resembled a frog (toad) which was poking its head from inside the hole. But there are also rumors that this food was once called a “Frog-in-the-Hole”, although there is very little evidence to support the theory. Other names that are also used, but less popular are frog sausages (sausage toad).

Ingredients:

  • 1 thinly sliced onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 sausages
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 10 grams of butter
  • 100 grams of frozen peas
  • Pepper to taste
  • 100 ml of steak sauce
  • 150 gr of flour
  • Salt to taste
  • 250 ml of milk

Baking Instructions:

  1. The first step to make this toad in the hole dish is to rub an anti-heat pan with oil and heat it for 10 minutes in an oven at 220 degrees Celsius;
  2. Mix flour, eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl and stir until smooth;
  3. Pour mixture into a heat-resistant pan and then paste the sausage on top. Bake for 20 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown in color. Lift and leave for a moment;
  4. To make the sauce, sauté the onion slices with butter over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add peas, steak sauce and salt to taste. After boiling, turn off the heat;
  5. The way to serve it is to cut the toad in a hole according to taste, serving with a splash of sauce.

The appearance of this toad in the hole dish is indeed unique and makes the curiosity peak, plus the recipe and the process that is very easy to make pumping enthusiasm to finally try to practice it. As for the taste, this food is almost like a rather thick pancake, soft texture, and soft with a savory flavor. Frankly, if for some people this food becomes mild if eaten just like that, you can replace gravy (thick broth) with bottled chili sauce. Well, some people really prefer when the food is spicier, right?

A little tip for you, if the sausage is cooked and the oil is hot, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the mixture while the oil is very hot until the mixture hisses and looks boiling. Put the baking pan and sausage back into the oven, bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges look brown. That way, the sausage will be more cooked to the inside.

People usually this dish as a snack food for a delayed procrastinator. Sometimes this food is eaten in the afternoon as a complement to drinking a cup of tea. Well, if you want to make it at home, there is no need to prepare troublesome ingredients because this dish is easy to make and simple. Well, for those of you who want to try other breakfast variants at home, maybe this traditional English breakfast (that is one classy way to say it rather than toad in the hole, to be honest) can be an option.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound sausage, mild or hot
  • 1/3-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3-4 cups milk, more if necessary
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsps. black pepper, freshly round and more to taste
  • Warmed biscuits, for serving

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Crush sausages and tear them apart with your finger. Put them in skillet and heat until lightly brown. Keep in medium heat level and slowly reduce to the low mode.
  2. Add flour, only half, and stir sausages until they soak equally. While stirring, pour the rest of flour, but little by little. Stir again for few minutes.
  3. Pour the whole milk and stir sausage mixture to blend then simmer for a while.
  4. The gravy is ready in ten minutes. Add salt and pepper then continue stirring. Just cook until it looks luscious and thick.
  5. Now, you can serve the gravy over biscuit.

From the ingredients, sausage gravy recipe uses sausage that is specifically for breakfast and in warm condition. Of course, you may replace it with any sausage that’s available in your area. Furthermore, the sausages might come from various ingredients. Therefore, the recipe does not limit your way when cooking this gravy.

First instruction is to crush sausage directly with finger or hand. You can replace this step with cutting into small pieces. Crushing is preferable because sausage can be tender easily. One important part is: do not use blender or food processor. Sausage still has its form but not look as smoothie. This is the key thing that some people think gravy is about complete sauce. On contrary, gravy texture will be from milk and flour. You can add both more then stir slowly until thick. Furthermore, you are ready for the basic sausage gravy recipe.

Sausage, milk, and flour are not enough if you want strong taste. As solution, pepper, salt, or both are good choices for seasonings. Add more salt to balance the milk or pepper for spicy flavor. Besides, any seasonings are easily to blend as long as you keep in balance. Some recipes also add eggs, butter, cheese, even sugar and honey. If you like, add anything but make sure those additional things do not ruin the taste.

Gravy is not food you can taste directly without biscuit. In fact, this is also suitable for rice, smashed potato, bread, or any stable foods. The combination between gravy and biscuit is the best choice that makes this recipe popular.

Prep time is 10 to 15 minutes, and the cook time is 15 minutes. This recipe is enough for family meal session. You can cook for lunch or dinner. Moreover, you can prepare and cook it then store in airtight container for the next meal. Put in the fridge and warm them again for the next meal.

Here is the full recipe to make Indian fry bread. This recipe has been modified quite a bit to add more flavor and texture to the bread. It is using yogurt to get that purpose. If you do not like yogurt or cannot eat one, feel free to leave it out of the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, shifted
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt, left in room temperature
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • Vegetable oil to fry
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

 Cooking Instructions:

  1. Prepare a large mixing bowl, into the bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until they are all well-combined. Set it aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine plain yogurt, water, and olive oil. Use balloon whisker to mix them all together.
  3. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredient mixture. Mix all ingredients until they are well combined and form dough.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. While waiting for the dough to rest, prepare a working surface. Sprinkle some flour on the working surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
  6. After 30 minutes, transfer the dough from the bowl onto the working surface. Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Form each part of the dough into a ball and then flatten the ball into flat bread shape.
  8. Prepare a nonstick frying pan. Pour vegetable oil up to 1/2 of the pan’s height. Heat the oil up and fry the Indian fry bread.
  9. The bread should be done when they are golden brown and a little bit bubbly on the surface.
  10. Serve with toppings. Both sweet and savory toppings work well with the bread.

The recommended toppings to be eaten with the bread are basically anything. The bread is quite neutral in flavor. It is just very mild and delicious. If you want to top it off with chocolate shavings and whipped cream, it is totally fine. Other sweet toppings, including berries and bananas with maple syrup are also great.

The popular topping for the bread is more to the savory side, though. People love using the bread as pizza base where they throw some marinara sauce, pepperoni, and some mozzarella cheese on top. Many people also love to use the bread as taco base. They top it off with guacamole, salsa mix, and refried beans.

Feel free to go according to your preference in eating the Indian fry bread. It is still going to be totally delicious no matter what toppings you put on top.

Homemade garlic bread

Without a pair of homemade garlic bread, you can’t complete a pizza. Garlic bread is the standard side dish that’s ideal for all kinds, whether baked ziti, creamy meat or perhaps even oven baked chicken breasts. That would be like ordinary a burger in junk food restaurants without fries. Only when we knew how fast, simple and tasteful it is in the shop did we purchase garlic broad. This bread can be produced or prepared well in advance and cooled just before eating. This easy dish is on every family’s menu. It is so simple to create along with your favorite Italian recipes.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup softened to room temperature salted butter; unsalted butter can be used, hence need to be complimented with ¼ tsp or more salt for tasting.
  • 1 large bakery-style loaf of French bread
  • 1 ½ tsp chopped fresh or dried parsley
  • 3 cloves crushed and pressed fresh garlic; can be substituted with 1 ½ tsp garlic powder

Cooking Instruction:

  1. The first step to make this homemade garlic bread is to preheat the furnace to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut the French loaf into pieces of 3/4 inch.
  3. Merge butter, garlic and pickles in a tiny jar until the combination is soft and good.
  4. Pop the butter combination generously on one hand and position it straight in the form of the pie (this will guarantee that there is some butter combination between the pieces) on one hand each of the French fries.
  5. Put the loaf in aluminum foil closely and cook for 20-25 minutes on a pan just until the dough is crunchy and the butter melt and sprinkled into the bread.
  6. Serve your favorite Italian meal instantly.

Homemade garlic bread is one of the quickest stuffs to do and is so beautiful and simple to create for someone who enjoys making home-made loaf with spices. It requires just a few minutes to blend everything together and toast and serve to every dinner. You may put your pastry in plastic if you want your pastry to be not so crispy on the outside.  It is softer on the inside; just ensure that the butter is melt inside. The best garlic bread is a home-produced sauce made from fresh parmesan bread, ginger and spices. This is the greatest food you’re ever going to consume.

So simple and so much easier to make garlic bread from scratch, isn’t it? Moreover, who does not love the bread with garlic? Garlic flour is safer for every dinner. On the dinner table, put a basket of fresh French loaf, and guaranteed that it won’t last long. However, if you have garlic bread left, don’t leave it out. You may reheat the bread of garlic. Fresh bread is certainly the best thing, but it can be reheated if you need it. In a 350-degree Fahrenheit furnace, wrap the garlic bread in foil, and heat for ten to 15 minutes. Take the wrap away and enjoy it. In a microwave, do not heat up homemade garlic bread as it gets tough and harder when it cools.
