Milkbread for pandesal or rolls

Hey, everyone! I've gotten requests for this, a favorite milkbread recipe, or pandesal (rolled in breadcrumbs), also great for buns and morning rolls or as twists with fruit or caramel.

Pandesal dough :

1-1/2 tablespoon of active dry yeast in 1/8 cup lukewarm water (not hot)

1-1/4 cup milk (warm)

1 egg

5 tablespoons of softened butter

4 cups (to 4-1/2) all purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon sea salt

+1 cup breadcrumbs for rolling dough

+ or fruit or preserves for stuffing

Line a pan with parchment paper. Mix dissolved yeast, milk, flour and sugar in a bowl. Add egg, softened butter and salt and knead until softened (about 10 minutes). Allow to rise about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Punch air bubbles out of dough and divide dough to make 6-8 parts. Roll into balls and fold each ball into itself 3-4 times. Roll the ball in breadcrumbs and place in pan, leaving space between the rolls to grow. Allow to rise about 30 minutes to an hour Preheat oven to 180° C / 350° F. Cook about 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned.

For fruit or caramel breakfast rolls, line a muffin tin with parchment paper. Instead of rolling into balls, flatten dough into 3" x 7" rectangles. Spread a layer of caramel or fruit preserves or fresh fruit like blueberies or red berries on this rectangle. Roll into a long cigarette shape. Cut in half lengthwise and braid the two pieces together, then fold or twist into a ball. Place in a muffin tin and allow to rise in a warm place about an hour. Preheat oven to 180° C / 350° F. Cook about 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Once cool, powder with confectioners sugar.

Enjoy, everyone!

Fluffiest cinnamon rolls, with yogurt cream frosting

I must say this is the most wonderful cinnamon rolls dough I've discovered to date. Light, fluffy, delicious, what more could you ask for? I filled half the dough with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts, while the other half was filled with some homemade strawberry jam. Here is the recipe for the dough, inspired by Foodess.com, which has the best explanation for the dough, go to the website for more info.

Cotton sponge cake with strawberries and cream cheese frosting

My kids had a birthday to celebrate so I made the cakes and they decorated. I used to do this when my children were small, set up a table for them to decorate cookies or gingerbread houses, even had parties like this, and to this day, they like assembling treats and are good cooks. Here's the batter recipe I often use which you can find in my other recipes (mocha sponge, apple cider cake...) : Cotton sponge cake recipe : 4 eggs, separated 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar 1-1/4 cup (180 g) cake flour 3/4 cup (150 g) confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup cider (60 g) (French kind, or 4.5% alcohol) or beer or carbonated water 1/4 cup (60 g) sour cream (or thick cream) 1/4 cup (60 g) milk (as needed) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 180° F / 350° C. Line pan with parchment paper. I used a 7" spring-form pan and a small fluted brioche mold. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar a little at a time and continue...

Victoria Sponge cake revisited (gluten-free)

Here's a version of a Victoria sponge cake that kind of evolved on its own. This is a fairly straightforward layer cake. It involves 2 cake disks, buttercream and strawberry jam, decorated thereafter with some powdered sugar, or more cream and strawberries. I did, however, take liberties... Well, first of all, I didn't have any jam but I did have strawberries so made a quick jam by simmering about a dozen diced strawberries, a couple tablespoons of sugar and a star anise which I love adding lately to all jams (try it with fig jam, awesome combination). But I digress... use some jam if you have some at home! I also swirled one of the disks with raspberry reduction, mixed with a bit of the batter to add some color. (Also, no need to do this except for a bit of fun or if you're always experimenting like me). Here's the rest of the recipe made with 2 eggs, a sign of the times : Batter: 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine 1 cup of sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup of milk or juice...
