Niente è IMPOSSIBILE!


Sometimes with friends of the forum, we play a "challenge" on recipes difficult to perform, we did it with tortellini, with croissants and now ... the curly puffs!
None of us had ever done, and judging from various recipes found on the network are not at all easy ... two days ago I would have said impossible ...
But as a famous advertising "Impossible is Nothing" and so ...
course for the "challenge in the kitchen" I have proposed several different recipes, so that everyone could find one he liked more. I chose the rich puffs Gennarino
And here:
DAY 1


The mixture

Ingredients: Flour

Manitoba
500 grams Water 200 grams
Honey 20 grams Salt 5 grams


Mix to obtain a conglomerate composed of thick sandy 'crumbs' (advised but not having the dough by hand ... I did all that hard work!).

Working hand very vigorously trying to homogenize the mixture until a ball (I must be honest, most times I wet my hands because, as dough is really unmanageable: too little liquid to flour). Finally, after half an hour of effort to try and get this weird mix (we no longer believe more!), massage with plenty of lard over the surface of the mix (including the base).

Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.















peeling

Ingredients: 150 grams Lard



Spread in a single tape begins with a rolling pin to facilitate the next phase with the sheeter, you have to make the mixture more similar to the number of height off the pasta machine so as not to "squeeze" as they say the Simili sisters. Then
you can start to stretch with the pasta.

And here comes something new or something I'd never done with other bodies: you have to organize two work plans: one for 'departure' of the sheet (the higher the table) and one of 'arrival' lower (which I put a chair on a tray).
The dough should be made of a single 'piece' if it becomes too long.

Pass the dough to measure more subtle. I made up the second to last, because with my pasta machine tore ... At most we can assist you with a rolling pin you must see the grain of the board.

At this point, melt the lard and get a brush.
Begin to unroll the tape sheet and brush with plenty of lard.

Once the piece of dough brushed with lard worked closely rolling the tape axis and short pass to another 'piece'.

Do the same for the entire length of the tape.

Cut any pastry tip and complete the rolling of the tape. Even the edges, brush with lard and wrapped in cellophane to close store in refrigerator for 24 hours.

The important thing that I realized at the stage of shaping is the rolling should be tight as possible, otherwise open shells ...

DAY 2: THE FILLING



Ingredients: Semolina

140 grams ricotta 140 grams icing sugar 150 grams

Eggs (large) 1 unit Water

415 grams candied citron and orange 45 (I put chocolate chips)


a pinch salt to boiling water with a pinch of salt, then pour in the semolina and cook for 5 min.

Once cold, add the remaining ingredients, stirring to make everything smooth.

shaping

Spend 24 hours to resume the roll and cut in slices half an inch thick.

The slices will work with your fingertips until the shaping shell casings that will form puffs.

Working with the fingers by sliding the turns of the tape on themselves.

This operation will be much easier as we will spread lard on the tape in the process of pulling and rolling.

Complete shells will proceed to fill them.

For these steps, I have no photo so I refer you to put links to the top of the original recipe.

COOKING

Bake at 210 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes and then go nuovo con la cottura per altri 25-30 minuti a 180° fino alla doratura.

















PS: spero non me ne vorranno i/le napoletani/e :P

Denali Check Engine Light On

Pane pugliese delle Simili

Tempo fa ho avuto l'onore e il piacere di partecipare al corso "Pane e pasta" delle mitiche sorelle Simili!
Metto di seguito la ricetta del pane pugliese e alcuni filmati fatti in sede di lezione.
Scusatemi se dovrete storcere un pò la testa...mandate pure a me il conto del dottore :P

PANE PUGLIESE:

Ingredienti:

For the biga

165 gr flour 120 gr 00

water at room temperature 1 g of yeast

Mix well and rise to 18/24 hours

For Pucci (optional)

300 g black olives Greek pitted



For the dough 1 kg flour 500 g water
00 (1)
200 grams water (2)
9 grams yeast 20 grams salt



Preparation In a bowl dissolve the chariot and yeast with the first water, combine the flour, salt and remaining water in mixing bowl.
When the mixture is too thick to work in the bowl, turn everything on a cutting board and work, still beating, a long time until the dough becomes very soft.


Place in a greased bowl and let rest 3 / 4 hours.
Turn on the table, pressing with the palm of your hand, fold the edges toward the center, roll with your thumb, put the vertical and roll again ...
In this regard, to better understand the movement I put 2 movies here:




Collect between cupped hands and make a tight ball,

Let rise about an hour.
Bake at 220 ° inversion, then lower to 200 degrees and bake about one hour.

This is my result

Cant Find My Shoes Online

I compleanni degli amici...



Partiamo dal presupposto che ogni torta è unica, la penso e la realizzo solo con il pensiero della persona che la riceverà...
Un caro amico un giorno mi chiama e mi dice:- naturalmente anche quest'anno sarai tu a prepararmi la torta...- E io rispondo:- Naturalmente!!-
Non ci si può tirare indietro davanti a una richiesta così! E allora come sempre comincio a farmi prendere dal panico, cosa gli farà piacere ricevere? La torta con la foto di Nicole Kidman (sua eroina) è banale, e poi già l'altr'anno...
Devo pensare a qualcosa di unico it's just for him! Let's see ... he is a lawyer, work, study, go in the pool ... here he is passionate about swimming: it is his sport, and once attended the same course more reason to think it's something that unites us doubly ...
And finally ... here is the result of days of reflection, research on the Internet.

For this cake: sponge cakes

:

Ingredients: 300 gr

.
sugar 8 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
150 gr.
150 grams of flour.
starch 1 tablespoon baking cakes er
a phial of lemon flavoring (or to taste) 1 pinch of salt


I mixed the egg yolks with sugar until the cream was inflated a bit, I added the aroma and the most firm egg whites, stirring from top to bottom so as not remove everything, I eventually added starch and baking powder sifted with flour, stirring constantly from down. The result is a frothy and very swollen.
Bake at 180 degrees for 45 minutes.

For all of my cake pans use aluminum disposable portions 8 and I get a RP for at least a dozen people, the slices are smaller, but very high (2 layers of filling).

Custard:

Ingredients: 500 gr

.
milk 160 gr. 4 egg yolks of zuccher0

70 gr. difarina

a pinch of salt grated rind of 1 lemon

The procedure is the classic one for the cream.
I did various experiments with the milk: I tried it and skimmed the flavor is a bit lighter, I tried it with soy milk for lactose intolerant person and I must say that the result has not changed. For the filling join

always a bit of whipped cream, how much? depends on the consistency that I want to get ...

For the topping:

jelly-like sea
(Maria Letizia)

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 cup water

color you like

Bring to a boil, stirring, and extinguish the fire, only use it once cold!
