Ingredients

• 1 medium head of green cabbage (about 2 lbs)
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 cup carrot shreds, optional
• 1 tablespoon oregano, dried (1/4 c chopped fresh)
• 1 ½ tablespoons fine sea salt
• 1 jalapeno, sliced in rings (or ¼–1/2 t chili flakes) optional

Sterilized Jars or crocks. ( I used one 2 quart jar) Feel free to use two 1 quart jars or smaller pint jars.

Instructions

1. Take off a few outer leaves of the cabbage and set them aside. Finely shred or chop cabbage with a mandolin, food processor (with slicing disc) or sharp knife.
2. Thinly slice the onion in half rings. Shred carrots with a grater or using a veggie peeler to create long flat strips.
3. In a large bowl, place the ingredients ( veggies, herbs, onions, and salt)-all except the jalapeno and mix well. Let sit for about 10 -20 minutes allowing the veggies and salt to merge and extract the natural juices. Use a pounder, large pestle, or your hands to macerate the mixture.
4. Distribute jalapeno rings in the bottom of the jars (or chili flakes, if using) and then fill up the jars with the cabbage mixture packing tightly, pressing down with the pounder, leaving a 1 or 2-inch space at the top. It should be juicy.
5. It is important that the cabbage is completed covered with the liquid. You can add a little brine (salted filtered water) if the cabbage seems dry. (Brine= 1 teaspoon sea salt per cup of water) Packing in a cabbage leaf on top of the mixture can help keep the mixture submerged. Alternatively, you can use a fermentation weight or tuck in a sandwich-sized zip lock bag on the top ( fill with water and zip close). This creates a good weight and barrier. Cover the top with a cheesecloth or a loose lid.
6. Leave on the counter at room temperature for 3-5 days, checking daily to make sure cabbage is still under liquid, packing down again if need be. You will start to see tiny bubbles rising up from the bottom this means the culturing is happening. Culturing happens faster in warmer weather.
7. Refrigerate, keeping the curtido submerged under the brine. It will continue to develop flavor and complexity over time. Curtido will keep for many many months, as long as it is submerged under the brine.

Ingredients

• 1 pound hot red chilies, such as red jalapeños, fresnos, or red serranos
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon salt

Directions

1. Place chilies, vinegar, and salt in workbowl of a food processor. Pulse until chilies are finely chopped and form a paste, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as necessary, Transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Un de mes collègues m'a offert un pot de sa production. J'ai vraiment aimé ça.
On a mangé ça avec des Scotch eggs, un régal.

Il ne me reste plus qu'à en faire moi-même !

Ingrédients

• 4 ¼ lb (2 kg) de zucchini, environ 14 moyens
• 1 ½ lb (675 g) d’oignons, environ 5 moyens
• 2 gros poivrons rouges doux
• 1 gros poivron vert doux
• ⅓ tasse (75 ml) de sel pour marinades
• 2 ½ tasses (675 ml) de sucre granulé
• 1 c. à table (15 ml) de chaque : muscade moulue et curcuma moulu
• 2 ½ tasses (625 ml) de vinaigre blanc
• 4 c. à table (60 ml) de raifort préparé
• 1 gros piment haché, incluant les graines

Instructions

Jour de la préparation

1. Passer le zucchini au robot culinaire pour le hacher finement; mesurer 12 tasses (3 000 ml). Répéter l'opération pour les oignons; mesurer 4 tasses (1 000 ml). Placer les légumes hachés dans un grand bol en verre ou en acier inoxydable. Retirer les graines et la membrane des poivrons verts et rouges. Hacher finement le poivron vert; couper le poivron rouge en cubes de 0,5 cm (¼ po); ajouter les deux aux zucchinis. Incorporer le sel pour marinades. Couvrir et réfrigérer toute la nuit.

Jour de la mise en conserve

1. Égoutter les légumes; les rincer à l'eau froide courante. Égoutter dans un tamis recouvert d'un coton à fromage, en tordant le coton à fromage pour enlever l'excès d'humidité.
2. Mettre les légumes dans une grande casserole en acier inoxydable, ajouter le sucre, la muscade, le curcuma, le vinaigre, le raifort et le piment et porter à ébullition. Réduire le feu et laisser bouillir doucement jusqu'à épaississement, environ 45 minutes.
3. Placer 6 bocaux mason propres de 500 ml sur le support d'une marmite remplie d'eau bouillante; couvrir les bocaux avec de l'eau et faire mijoter (180 °F/82 °C). Mettre les bandes de côté. Chauffer les couvercles d'étanchéité SNAP LID® dans de l'eau chaude, mais non bouillante (180 °F/82 °C). Garder les bocaux et les couvercles d'étanchéité au chaud jusqu'au moment de les utiliser.
4. Verser la relish dans un bocal chaud à l'aide d'une louche, jusqu’à 1 cm (½ po) du bord (espace libre). Retirer les bulles d’air à l’aide d’un ustensile non métallique. Essuyer le bord du bocal pour enlever tout résidu collant. Centrer le couvercle chaud sur le bord propre d’un bocal. Visser la bande jusqu’au point de résistance. Resserrer ensuite du bout des doigts. Replacer le bocal rempli sur le support dans la marmite. Répéter cette opération pour le reste de la relish.
5. Couvrir la marmite et porter l'eau à pleine ébullition. À des altitudes allant jusqu'à 305 m (1 000 pi) – faire bouillir les bocaux remplis pendant 15 minutes.* Retirer les bocaux sans les incliner. Les placer à la verticale sur une surface de travail protégée. Laisser refroidir debout, pendant 24 heures, sans y toucher; NE PAS RESSERRER les bandes. Après le refroidissement, vérifier que les bocaux sont bien scellés. Les couvercles scellés sont courbés vers le bas et ne bougent pas lorsqu'on les presse. Retirer les bandes; essuyer et sécher les bandes et les bocaux. Conserver les bandes séparément ou les replacer sans les serrer sur les bocaux, au besoin. Étiqueter et conserver les bocaux dans un endroit frais et sombre.

Déposer sur une feuille de papier sulfurisé et laisser lever sous couvert d’un torchon pendant environ une heure ou jusqu’à ce que les petites brioches aient doublé de taille.
4. Battre ensemble l’oeuf et l’eau et badigeonner les petites brioches de ce mélange. Ajouter les perles de sucre par dessus pour décorer. Enfourner à 220°C pendant 5-6 minutes puis laisser refroidir sur une grille avant de servir.

C'est bon, mais ce n'est pas ma recette préférée. Je ne pense pas que j'en referai.

Ce pain est énorme. Mais comme il est très bon, ce n'est pas bien grave.
Par contre, je n'aime pas trop la recette en volume. J'aurais du peser les éléments pour la prochaine fois s'il y en a une.
Je n'ai pas aimé l'ordre d'ajout des différents ingrédients. Il y a des endroits où la farine ne s'est pas mélangée correctement au niveau des noix. Je pense qu'il faille humecter les noix avant de mettre la farine.

Ingredients

• 6 to 7 cups (125 grams per cup) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 3 cups cool water (70° to 75°)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk 6 cups flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon and salt. Stir in raisins and walnuts; add water and enough remaining flour to form a moist, shaggy dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a cool place until doubled, 7-8 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 450°; place a Dutch oven with lid onto center rack and heat for at least 30 minutes. Once Dutch oven is heated, turn dough onto a generously floured surface. Using a metal scraper or spatula, quickly shape into a round loaf. Gently place on top of a piece of parchment.
3. Using a sharp knife, make a slash (1/4 in. deep) across top of loaf. Using the parchment, immediately lower bread into heated Dutch oven. Cover; bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until loaf is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, 20-30 minutes longer, partially covering if it is browning too much. Remove loaf from Dutch oven and cool completely on wire rack.

Ce n'est pas un mauvais pain mais je ne suis pas satisfait de la texture de la croute. J'ai déjà fait certains pains utilisant une technique similaire qui avaient un meilleur résultat. Je pense que l'utilisation du yaourt est à l'origine de ce problème de croute.

Je vais donc mettre de coté cette recette pour me concentrer sur d'autres qui ont un résultat plus intéressant.

Ingredients

• 3 cups (405 grams) bread flour
• 1 ½ tsp (8 grams) salt
• ¼ tsp instant dry yeast (if fermenting for 18 hours), or ¾ tsp instant dry yeast (if fermenting for 6 hours)
• 1 ½ cup + 2 tbsp (385 grams) plain unsweetened yogurt containing active cultures

Instructions

1. In a stand-mixer with dough-hook, or in a large bowl by hands, mix bread flour, instant dry yeast, salt and plain yogurt on medium-low speed for 2 min until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry and has difficulty coming together, add 1 tbsp more plain yogurt. If you'd like, continue to knead the dough on medium-low speed, or with your hands, for a few more minutes until springy. The dough should be very sticky, but able to retain shapes.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let ferment at room-temperature for 18 hours (NO MORE than 20 hours or the yogurt may spoil and become bitter!), or 6 hours depending on your schedule (note that the amount of yeast varies). The dough should almost doubled when finished.
3. After fermentation, dust the counter with flour then transfer the dough on top. Use just enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking, fold the dough gently (without crushing all the air bubbles inside) over itself like folding a letter. Turn 90 degrees and fold again. Then shape the dough into a ball-shape. Transfer to a piece of floured parchment paper, then cover a large bowl on top and let proof again for 1 ~ 2 hours. The dough is ready when it almost double in size again, and should not spring back when you press it with a finger.
4. 45 minutes before the dough's ready, preheat the oven on 450F/225C with a large dutch oven, or a heavy-bottom pot (both should come with lid) inside. To bake the bread, lift the parchment paper to transfer the dough into the preheated pot, cover the lid and bake for 30 min. Then remove the lid, and bake until the crust is golden browned.
5. Let cool on a rack for 20 min.

Wow ! C'était vraiment bon. On s'est régalé à la maison, ils sont partis en moins d'une journée.

Ingredients for the dough

• 110 ml (⅓ + ⅛ cup) lukewarm full fat milk
• 200 ml (½ + ⅓ cup) lukewarm ale (or water)
• 40 g (scant 3 tbsp) butter melted
• 1 tbsp dark brown soft sugar
• 7 g (1 sachet/2 tsp) fast action yeast
• 500 g (4 + scant ¼ cups) strong white bread flour
• 1 rounded tsp salt

Ingredients to finish

• 1.5 litres water
• 3 tbsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• 1 egg beaten
• flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, ale, melted butter, sugar and yeast. Add the flour and salt and mix to form a dough. Turn out onto an un-floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place into a large, lightly oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and either place in the fridge to rise overnight, or in a warm place until doubled in size - about 1.5 hours.
2. If the dough was refrigerated, let it come up to room temperature for about half an hour before proceeding with the next step.
3. Knock back the risen dough then divide it into eight even pieces (I use a scale for accuracy). Shape each piece into a ball then roll it out into a sausage, about 15cm long. Place them well spaced apart on a lightly greased baking tray then leave to rise, uncovered (but not in a drafty spot) for about 30 minutes, until puffy.
4. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6; line two baking trays with greased baking parchment (the buns have a tendency to stick). Bring the 1.5 litres of water to the boil in a large pan, stir in the bicarbonate of soda then turn down the heat until the water is not even simmering.
5. Poach the risen buns two at a time for 30 seconds per side (I use a stopwatch) then use a fish slice to transfer them to the lined baking trays; repeat with the remaining buns.
6. Brush the buns with beaten egg then use a lame, extremely sharp knife or razor blade (I use an old fashioned razor blade) to cut three fairly deep diagonal slashes in each bun. Sprinkle the buns with flaky sea salt.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until deep brown; don't take them out too early - a lot of the flavour comes from the dark colour.
8. Transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool. Eat on the day they are baked.

Ingrédients

• 2,5 kg (5 1/2 lb) de concombres de jardin non pelés, lavés ou de cornichons frais (voir note)
• 8 oignons, pelés
• 1 poivron vert, épépiné et coupé en fines lanières
• 1 poivron jaune, épépiné et coupé en fines lanières
• 125 ml (1/2 tasse) de gros sel à marinade
• 1,25 litre (5 tasses) de sucre
• 1 litre (4 tasses) de vinaigre blanc
• 30 ml (2 c. à soupe) de graines de moutarde
• 7,5 ml (1 1/2 c. à thé) de curcuma moulu
• 2,5 ml (1/2 c. à thé) de clou de girofle entier
• 2,5 ml (1/2 c. à thé) de graines de céleri

Préparation

1. Sur un plan de travail, couper et jeter une extrémité des concombres. À l’aide d’une mandoline, couper les concombres en tranches de 3 mm (1/8 po) d’épaisseur. Jeter l’autre extrémité (celle-ci peut faire ramollir les cornichons en conserve). Vous obtiendrez environ 16 tasses de tranches de concombres. Déposer dans un grand bol. Répéter avec les oignons. Ajouter et mélanger aux concombres avec les poivrons et le gros sel. Laisser macérer 3 heures à la température ambiante. Rincer et bien égoutter.
2. Pendant ce temps, préparer les couvercles et les bocaux (voir les capsules vidéo).
3. Dans une grande casserole, porter à ébullition le sucre, le vinaigre et les épices. Ajouter les légumes égouttés. Porter à ébullition à nouveau, en remuant à quelques reprises. Retirer du feu.
4. Répartir les légumes et le sirop dans les bocaux chauds. Laisser un jeu d’air de 1 cm (1/2 po). Retirer les bulles d’air à l’aide d’un ustensile non métallique et essuyer le pourtour des bocaux à l’aide d’un linge propre.
5. Centrer les couvercles (disques) sur les bocaux et visser la bague jusqu’au point de résistance, sans forcer.
6. Déposer les bocaux debout sur le support dans la casserole d’eau chaude. S’assurer qu’ils sont recouverts d’au moins 2,5 cm (1 po) d’eau. Couvrir. Porter à ébullition à feu élevé. Au moment où l’eau commence à bouillir, calculer 15 minutes de traitement.
7. Sortir les bocaux de l’eau (voir les capsules vidéo).

Vraiment facile à faire et super bon. À refaire !

Ingredients

• 1 ⅝ cups or 390 mL or 390 g of water
• 1 cup or 106 g of walnuts
• 1 cup or 128 g of craisins, i.e. dried cranberries
• 2 cups or 312 g all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
• 1 cup or 156 g of whole grain flour
• ¼ teaspoon or 1 g of instant yeast
• 1 ¼ teaspoons or 9 g of salt

Instructions

1. Pour the water into a small bowl. Add walnut and craisins and stir them a little to make sure they are wetted from all sides. If you don't do this step, you may get dry flour pockets in the creases of the walnuts and/or craisins.
2. Let the water sit for a few minutes.
3. Combine the white flour, whole grain flour, yeast and salt in the large plastic bowl.
4. Mix these dry ingredients well with the fork.
5. Pour the water, walnuts and craisins onto the flour mixture.
6. Stir everything with the fork until it's well blended. No flour residue should be at the walls or bottoms of the bowl. Just shaggy and sticky dough. Make sure all the flour is worked into the dough glob.
7. Cover the bowl with its plastic top.
8. Place the bowl at a spot that has and maintains room temperature. 70F / 25C is ideal. I always put it next to a heating vent in the center portion of our house.
9. Let the dough rise for at least 12 hours, preferably about 18 hours. Which means, forget about the bread for a while.
10. The dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. The dough should be covering the entire bottom of the bowl.
11. If the inside of the top of the bowl is wet, dry it of, place it upside down on the table and flour it. Alternatively, you can use a large cutting board.
12. Dig your hands underneath the dough from all sides until you can lift all of it out.
13. Place the dough on the flour covered surface.
14. Sprinkle some more flour on top of the dough, then fold it over on itself twice.
15. Sprinkle some more flour on top.
16. Wash the large bowl, dry it, and place it over the dough, i.e. cover the dough.
17. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
18. Lift the bowl up from the top. Turn the bowl around and then place the dough into it. I usually place the side that was facing upwards downwards.
19. Cover the bowl with its top and place it in a location that gets warm when preheating the oven.
20. Let the dough rise for 90 minutes.
21. Put the glass or ceramic pot together with its top into the oven.
22. Heat up the oven to 400 F / 200 C.
23. Let the oven and the pot heat up for 30 minutes.
24. Using the oven mittens, remove the pot from the oven and place it on top of the oven. Take the lid off and place it on the side. Remember that the pot and the lid are hot, so don't place them on anything that can melt.
25. Remove the plastic lid from the plastic bowl with the bread.
26. With the silicone spatula, drop the entire dough ball/glob into the hot pot.
27. Sprinkle some flour on top.
28. Close the metal lid and place the pot back in the oven.
29. Bake if for 30 minutes with the lid closed.
30. Bake it for another 15 minutes without the lid.
31. Again with the oven mittens, take the pot out of the oven and remove the lid.
32. Keep using the mittens to remove the bread with both hands from the pot. The bread may sometimes sticks a little to the bottom. Be careful to avoid touching the hot pot.
33. Lay the bread on a grid or screen to let it cool down.
34. After 1-2 hours you need to decide whether you prefer a hard crunchy crust or a softer crust.
35. For a hard crunchy crust you are done.
36. For a softer crust, place the bread in one of those flimsy shopping bags and loosely tie its handles together. That will keep more moisture in the bread and creates a nice not to hard crust. (Do not apply the bag too early. It can cause a too high moisture level in the bread and the bread will have a very slight soggy feel to it.)
37. Let the bread cool down entirely. I typically wait until the next day.

Ingredients

Chocolate Coffee Babka Wreath

Dough ingredients

• 1 tbsp yeast (11g)
• 50 ml warm water
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 200 ml milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp Vanilla
• 460 g flour
• 100 g butter

Chocolate Filling ingredients

• 110 g butter
• 150 g semi-sweet chocolate
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup cocoa
• 1 tbsp instant coffee
• Pinch of salt

Caramel Syrup ingredients

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup water

Instructions day 1

1. In a bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar and let it rest until fluffy for 5-7 min.
2. In a large bowl (preferably of a stand mixer), put flour, milk, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla, and yeast.
3. Mix them until combined for about 3-4 minutes. Then, cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 10-12 minutes.
4. After that, knead the dough by stand mixer or hand. Add room temperature butter to the dough and continue to knead for 12-15 minutes.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. If you have limited time, you can keep it for around 3 hours.

Instructions day 2

1. Prepare the chocolate paste; in a medium saucepan, place the butter and chocolate and stir over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cocoa, powdered sugar, coffee, and salt. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined and let it cool at room temp.
2. Transfer the dough onto a floured counter and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 26x16 inch (70x40cm) rectangle. Spread the chocolate mixture on the dough with a spatula.
3. Tightly roll up the dough from the long side, transfer the roll to a baking sheet and leave it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes for it to be cut easily.
4. Remove the roll from the freezer and using a knife cut down the middle lengthwise. Knit the dough sides as in the IG Reel, curl into a circle and fix the ends to make a wreath. Transfer to a baking sheet carefully. Cover the wreath with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 60-75 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven 340-350F. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until its top turns brown.
6. Remove from the oven and brush with caramel syrup. Decorate it and serve.

Ingredients

• Bread flour 430 grams
• Water 345 grams of water
• Yeast 1 gram of yeast (1/4 tsp)
• salt 12 grams (2 tsp kosher)
• Wheat bran, cornmeal, or additional flour for dusting

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the water and, using a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until you have a wet, sticky dough, about 30 seconds. Make sure it’s really sticky to the touch; if it’s not, mix in another tablespoon or two of water. Cover the bowl with a plate, tea towel, or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature (about 72 degrees F), out of direct sunlight, until the surface is dotted with bubbles and the dough is more than doubled in size. This will take a minimum of 12 hours and (my preference) up to 18 hours. This slow rise – fermentation – is the key to flavor.
2. When the first fermentation is complete, generously dust a work surface (a wooden or plastic board is fine) with flour. Use a bowl scraper or rubber spatula to scrape the dough out of the bowl in one piece. When you begin to pull the dough away from the bowl, it will cling in long, thin strands (this is the developed gluten), and it will be quite loose and sticky – do not add more flour. Use slightly floured hands or a bowl scraper or spatula to lift the edges of the dough in toward the center. Nudge and tuck in the edges of the dough to make it round.
3. Place a cotton or linen tea towel (not terry cloth, which tends to stick and may leave lint in the dough) or a large cloth napkin on your work surface and generously dust the cloth with wheat bran, cornmeal, or flour. Use your hands or a bowl scraper or a wooden spatula to gently lift the dough to cover it and place it in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours. The dough is ready when it is almost doubled. If you gently poke it with your finger, making an indentation about ¼ inch deep, it should hold the impression. If it doesn’t, let it rise for another 15 minutes.
4. Half an hour before the end of the second rise, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F, with a rack in the lower third position, and place a covered 4 ½ to 5 ½- quart heavy pot in the center of the rack.
5. Using pot holders, carefully remove the preheated pot from the oven, and uncover it. Unfold the tea towel, lightly dust the dough with flour or bran, lift up the dough, either on the towel or in your hand, and quickly but gently invert it into the pot, seam side up. (Use caution – the pot will be very hot; see photos, page 55.) Cover the pot and bake for 20 minutes.
6. Remove the lid and continue baking until the bread is a deep, chestnut color but not burnt, 15 to 30 minutes more. Use a heatproof spatula or pot holders to carefully lift the bread out of the pot and place it on a rack to cool thoroughly. Don’t slice or tear into it until it has cooled, which usually takes at least an hour.

Notes

• Original recipe uses 8g salt.
• Try: After taking lid off dutch oven, put oven on baking sheet. prevents burnt bottoms
• Try: After bake is done, turn off oven, crack door, and let bread sit in oven for 20 minutes curing crust
  Bake bread darker!
• Notes from Bittman → No Kneading, but Some Fine-Tuning - The New York Times
• SALT Many people, me included, felt Mr. Lahey’s bread was not salty enough. Yes, you can use more salt and it won’t significantly affect the rising time. I’ve settled at just under a tablespoon.
• TIMING About 18 hours is the preferred initial rising time. Some readers have cut this to as little as eight hours and reported little difference. I have not had much luck with shorter times, but I have gone nearly 24 hours without a problem. Room temperature will affect the rising time, and so will the temperature of the water you add (I start with tepid). Like many other people, I’m eager to see what effect warmer weather will have. But to those who have moved the rising dough around the room trying to find the 70-degree sweet spot: please stop. Any normal room temperature is fine. Just wait until you see bubbles and well-developed gluten — the long strands that cling to the sides of the bowl when you tilt it — before proceeding.
• THE SECOND RISE Mr. Lahey originally suggested one to two hours, but two to three is more like it, in my experience. (Ambient temperatures in the summer will probably knock this time down some.) Some readers almost entirely skipped this rise, shaping the dough after the first rise and letting it rest while the pot and oven preheat; this is worth trying, of course.
• OTHER FLOURS Up to 30 percent whole-grain flour works consistently and well, and 50 percent whole-wheat is also excellent. At least one reader used 100 percent whole-wheat and reported “great crust but somewhat inferior crumb,” which sounds promising. I’ve kept rye, which is delicious but notoriously impossible to get to rise, to about 20 percent. There is room to experiment.
• FLAVORINGS The best time to add caraway seeds, chopped olives, onions, cheese, walnuts, raisins or whatever other traditional bread flavorings you like is after you’ve mixed the dough. But it’s not the only time; you can fold in ingredients before the second rising.
• COVERING BETWEEN RISES A Silpat mat under the dough is a clever idea (not mine). Plastic wrap can be used as a top layer in place of a second towel.

Vraiment très bon.

Ingredients

Yellow Cake

• 1-1/2 cups butter, softened to room temperature
• 2-1/4 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1-1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3-3/4 cups cake flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Fudge Frosting

• 3 cups sugar
• 1-1/2 cups evaporated milk
• 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1-1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a bowl, blend flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. Next, in a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low until combined. Next, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing on low until everything is moist; about 1 minute. Finally, add in the buttermilk with your mixer on its lowest speed until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing them with butter and lining with parchment paper. We will be baking two cake layers at a time—we’re going to assume you don’t have eight 9-inch cake pans in your cupboards!
   Add about 3/4 cup (212 grams) of the cake batter to each pan and then spread into an even layer using the back of a spoon.
   Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake is slightly golden and set in the middle. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then carefully remove the cake layers and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat until all eight layers are baked.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the sugar and evaporated milk and cook until the mixture is warm. Reduce the heat to medium-low and then add the chocolate, cocoa powder and butter. Stir the mixture until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture has warmed through. Continue to cook the frosting until it has thickened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and then stir in the vanilla. Let cool to room temperature.
4. Begin by placing the bottom layer of cake on a plate or cake stand. Then, spread a generous, even layer (2-3 tablespoons) of fudge frosting over the cake. Top with the next layer of cake and then repeat.
   When you reach the final layer, spread the remaining fudge frosting on the top and down the sides of the cake. We recommend using an offset spatula to get the frosting nice and smooth.

• 3 tbsp of ground cumin
• 100ml of olive oil
• salt
• black pepper
• 300ml of red wine vinegar
• flat-leaf parsley, chopped, to serve

Roasted yellow pepper sauce

• 3 yellow peppers
• 3 Scotch Bonnet chillies, yellow
• 5 spring onions
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 1 lemon, cut into quarters
• ground cumin, 1-2 tsp
• 2 tsp ají panca, (or you can use smoked paprika if you can't find any)
• salt
• black pepper

Instructions

1. To make the anticuchos, simply stir together the marinade ingredients and coat the ox heart cubes in it. Leave it, covered, in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
3. To make the yellow pepper sauce, cut the peppers and chillies in half and place in a roasting tin with the onions, lemon wedges and whole head of garlic. Drizzle generously with oil and season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and golden
4. Leave to cool for a few minutes until you can handle them. Peel off the pepper skins and pop them in a food processor, along with the scotch bonnets (minus the seeds), the squeezed out roasted garlic and the lemon flesh (minus the pips)
5. Dry fry the spices for a minute or two and add them to the food processor. Season and blitz to purée. You can add a splash of oil to slacken if needed. Taste for seasoning, adjust as necessary and serve
   Adjust seasoning as necessary
6. Once ready to cook the anticuchos, heat a griddle or barbecue until smoking hot, or you can pop them under a very hot grill. Dry off the majority of the marinade, keeping some for basting, and thread the meat on to kebab skewers
7. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade and serve with a scattering of chopped flat leaf parsley and roasted yellow pepper sauce

Edit : après avoir goûté, je ne suis pas convaincu. Le goût est bon mais la texture n'est pas satisfaisante.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank Steak Beef (Eye Of Round, Top or Bottom Round cuts work as well)
• 2 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• 1 tsp Gochujang Paste
• 0.5 tsp Onion Powder
• 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
• 0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper Powder

Instructions

Prepare The Beef

1. Freeze the beef for 30-60 minutes prior to slicing. The stiffness makes it much easier to cut even slices.
2. Slice beef into 1/6" – 1/4" slices, ensuring all are the same thickness. We prefer to go against the grain when slicing, which results in a more tender jerky. Slicing with the grain will give the jerky a tougher texture.
3. Slice away ANY excess fat.
4. Place beef into a sealable baggie.

Prepare The Marinade

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. Pour the marinade over the beef in the baggie.
3. Massage the beef slices in the baggie, ensuring all of the slices are completely coated in the marinade.
4. Allow to sit at room temperature for 45 minutes. You may also set this in the refrigerator and marinate for up to 10 hours.

Dehydrate The Beef

1. Set your food dehydrator to 165°F (74°C).
2. Place beef slices on dehydrator trays, first allowing any excess liquid to drip off the slices.
3. Dry for 3 hours at 165°F (74°C) and blot away any fat juices from the slices.
4. Dry an additional 3+ hours at 165°F (74°C) or until the beef jerky is leathery.

Store The Jerky

1. Store in an airtight container with a food safe oxygen absorber for 1-2 months.
2. Once opened, consume within 1 week.
