Sticky buns...again...



buat lagi.... kali ni kat rumah idah... dia ada electric mixer yang besar tuh...
making the brioche dough from scratch...

kenapa panggil brioche...kenapa tak panggil bread je....
hehehe....this is a french origin bread where  the  ingredients having so much eggs and butter....patut lah...resepi nye calling for butter tuh...menakutkan! 

for resepi can go here sticky buns



i crowded all the three pans. i shouldn't hehehe...in here should have only 5 buns! not 7!
oklah do better next time.....

PUDING ROTI....tips.



 i selalu buat kan 'buah tangan' untuk kawan-kawan dish ini....
why?

well... senang kot....and  presentation nye cantek gak!
lagi pun selalu ada  left over bread dalam fridge and also freezer....

di sebabkan selalu nye  bawa dish ini kesana sini....so selalu lah ada permintaan minta resepi...

so along the way resepi ni pun i dah ubah-ubah sikit...resepi kat sini...puding roti

i believe what make the puding roti taste nicer will be:
1. the type of bread used
2. mixing of bread
3. the custard

Type of bread
1. the more dense the bread the better. if the bread is so light, like Gardenia, make sure it get toasted first.
2. any bread with good ingredients  like wheat bread, sourdough bread, nut breads, fruits bread...

The Custard
1. the creamier the milk the better. so use creame if possible for owns comsumption....
  - mix full cream milk (Ducth lady) with cream (whipped cream).
  or
  - mix full cream milk with evaporated can milk
 or
 - mix full cream milk with evaporated can milk plus the creamy coconut cream in a box (Coconut cream: Ayam brand is thick! there is one particular brand having a thick cream. could be MS could be others. will update on this again).

2. more eggs ...add extra eggs if you happen to have more in stocks...

Garnishing
1. To make the pudding presentation better, dont forget to brush the puding with a mixture of butter and honey...

2. your puding can be plain and also can be as the 'rocky road' as you want...
- normally i put raisins and almonds
- sometimes i put apple or/and chinese pear
- recently  i put chocolate chunks together with white chocolate.....somehow i got many good comments on this!

FROSTING

i know cream cheese frosting.
i know chocolate ganache.
i know buttercream (this is very sweat!)
i know swiss meringue butter cream.

....but frosting by some not referring  to the above. this frosting has a flour paste.

to keep a  recipe here for future reference  Frosting from Bobby Flay.

Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 1/2 cup butter)
  • 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar

Combine the cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Remove the vanilla bean and discard. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened to a paste, about 2 minutes. Scrape into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.

Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the mixture is very fluffy and the sugar is totally dissolved, about 6 minutes. Add the cold paste, a few tablespoons at a time to the butter mixture and whip until light and fluffy.

note:
1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup butter = 8 tablespoons
 
 
 
______________________________________________________________________________________________
other recipe.
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • To Make Icing: In a saucepan, combine the milk and 5 tablespoons flour. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Set aside to cool completely. Cream together butter, 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until light and fluffy, then stir in the cooled milk and flour mixture, beating until icing reaches spreading consistency.
