    For dough: In a small saucepan, heat milk and ½ cup (120 grams) water over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around sides of pan and an instant-read thermometer registers 180°F (82°C). Remove from heat, and add butter. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C).In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 2 cups (250 grams) flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk mixture, and beat at low speed until combined. Add egg, beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 cups (250 grams) flour, beating just until a shaggy dough comes together and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms, about 24 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl and dough hook; add up to remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. Turn out dough onto a clean surface; knead 5 to 6 times, and shape into a smooth round.Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).For strawberries: On a small rimmed baking sheet, stir together strawberries, 2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar, and salt until well combined; spread in a single layer.Bake until berries are very soft and fragrant and have released ample juices, about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Strain strawberries and juices through a fine-mesh sieve set over a small saucepan. Let strawberries cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into ¼-inch pieces. Transfer any additional berry juices to saucepan.In a medium bowl, stir together chopped strawberries, ¼ cup (57 grams) melted butter, and vanilla bean paste.In a small bowl, place ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (124 grams) granulated sugar.Add 3 tablespoons (45 grams) water, remaining ¼ cup (57 grams) melted butter, and remaining ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar to juice in saucepan.Lightly punch down dough. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with baking spray with flour.Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide in half (about 495 grams each). Roll each portion into a 30-inch rope. Cut each rope into 1-inch-long pieces (about 16 grams each). Working in batches, dip dough pieces in strawberry mixture; dredge in granulated sugar, gently shaking off excess. Place dough pieces in pan in even layers. Pour remaining strawberry mixture all over dough. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, 30 to 45 minutes.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).Bring juice mixture in saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted and sugar dissolves; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour all over dough.Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 30 to 35 minutes, loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.For glaze: In another medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Drizzle all over warm bread. Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. LEGGI TUTTO

      10 Sweet Treats to Bake for Spring

      ha scritto per te

      March 19th marks the official first day of spring in the U.S., and we’re welcoming in the new season with 10 spring-inspired bakes that will brighten any day. From the zing of lemon to the burst of fresh berries, each recipe is crafted to infuse your kitchen with the vibrant essence of spring. So, grab your apron and embark on a flavorful journey that promises to bring the joys of the new season, no matter what the weather outside may hold.

      Sticky-sweet strawberry filling is smeared, rolled, and twisted into a buttery brioche dough, and a final sprinkling of pearl sugar offers an element of elegant crunch to this loaf.

      With spring officially sprung, there’s no better recipe to celebrate with than this light yet luscious Hummingbird Pie with Pecan Crust. This pie’s crust may look like any other, but it packs a surprising punch of Schermer Pecans, lending a light, toasted crunch to the deliciously flaky and buttery base of this pie. The nutty, slightly rich notes of pecan act as the perfect counterpoint to the sweet, fruity flavors of the filling. Slices of fresh banana are layered on top of the crisp pecan crust and then blanketed in a smooth pineapple coconut cream. Topped with a cloud of light and fluffy Whipped Cream, this pie is a cool treat sure to satisfy all through spring and even into the dog days of summer.

      Who needs cream cheese frosting when you’ve got a layer of cheesecake filling? These bars combine two of our favorite cakes in one: crumbly chunks of carrot cake baked into a velvety layer of cheesecake. Fair warning: you may not be able to have one without the other again.

      By swapping the traditional cream cheese filling with vanilla bean-scented Mascarpone Cream and replacing the congealed topping with fresh strawberries, we’ve given this classic pastry a modern salty-sweet makeover.

      These party-perfect bars are creamy, crumbly, and crispy all at once. For the best results, we suggest refrigerating overnight. But if you’re in a hurry, you can cut that time down to at least 1 hour before serving.

      A tender almond cake speckled with earthy poppy seeds and a strawberry-dappled top dusted with confectioners’ sugar, this simple yet chic one-layer stunner embodies the flavors of spring. We call it “a counter cake” because you’ll want to keep it on your counter all season long as a sweet treat for impromptu guests (and yourself).

      Inspired by the busy bees of spring, we paired chopped honeycomb and orange blossom water to create a delicate floral and honey scone. Crowned with golden honeycomb chunks and a generous drizzle of white chocolate, these baked goods offer a surprising flavor combination you didn’t know you needed until now.

      Cheesecake is a dessert for all seasons, but this one is geared directly toward spring. We traded the traditional graham cracker crust for a spicy gingersnap crumb base that complements a sunny citrus cheesecake filling. But the coup de grâce is the bright and beautiful blueberry topping, a glistening crown that offers jammy berries in every bite.

      Combining a double-dose of zippy lemon flavor in both the cookie and the glaze tastes like spring baking at it’s finest. Add the crunchy finish of sweet sparkling sugar and you’ve got one knockout cookie. LEGGI TUTTO

These recipes have you covered from Memorial Day until Labor Day, all summer long.
      I’ve also thrown in some of my best tips for choosing the ripest strawberries when they’re in season, how to store them, and even how to freeze them!
      Why You’ll Love These Strawberry Recipes
      In case you couldn’t tell, I’m berry excited about the strawberry season. Here’s why you’ll love these recipes:

      Easy to make. Who doesn’t love a dessert that tastes amazing, that’s also stress-free? These strawberry recipes keep it simple while oozing fresh summer flavors in every bite.
      Vibrant flavors. The ripest strawberries bring all sorts of delicious sweetness and freshness to these easy dessert ideas. Not to mention a pop of rosy color!
      Perfect for summer. Strawberries are a surefire sign that summer is here. Take these desserts along with you to cookouts, parties, or make them just because. These are the perfect recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth all season long.

      When Are Strawberries in Season?
      So, what are the best months for strawberries? For most of the US, strawberries are in peak season from mid-May to early June. This of course can vary a bit depending on which part of the country you’re in. As soon as berry season arrives, you best believe I’m first in line at my local farm stall.

      How to Pick Strawberries at the Store
      Get in, we’re going strawberry shopping! But how do you know if you’re picking the right berries? Below are my tips for choosing the very best strawberries:

      Color and Plumpness: Look for bright, plump berries that are red from top to bottom. Unlike some other fruits, strawberries don’t ripen after they’re picked. If the strawberries have a lot of yellow and green shading, they’ll stay that way and won’t be as sweet. And if the berries look dry or shriveled at all, give them a pass.
      Leaves: Fresh green leaves = fresh strawberries. Dry, wilted leaves indicate that the berries were picked a while ago.
      Signs of Mold: It probably goes without saying, but if any of the strawberries are moldy, it’s best to pick another box. Mold means that the berries are going bad, even if some of them aren’t spoiled just yet.

      How to Store and Freeze Fresh Strawberries
      Now that you’ve selected the best strawberries of the bunch, make sure you store them properly. It’s easy to do:

      Store: Store your strawberries in the fridge until you’re ready to wash and eat them. It’s best to leave strawberries whole and unwashed when you store them so that they aren’t exposed to moisture. To prolong the life of your fresh strawberries, store them in a single layer inside an airtight container lined with a paper towel. Properly stored strawberries can last in the fridge for a week (or sometimes longer).
      Freeze: Fresh strawberries can be frozen either whole or chopped. Before you freeze your berries, remove the stems, then flash-freeze the berries on a baking sheet. Once solid, transfer the frozen berries to a freezer bag or airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 6 months. Frozen strawberries are perfect to use in everything from smoothies to pies.
      Wash: Place your fresh berries into a colander and give them a good rinse under cold water before you eat them.
