      Do-It-All Dough

      ha scritto per te

      In a medium saucepan, heat milk and 1⁄2 cup (120 grams) water over medium heat to scalding. (An instant-read thermometer should register 180°F/82°C.) Remove from heat, and add cubed butter; stir 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, beat 2 cups (250 grams) flour, sugar, salt, and yeast at low speed until combined. Add warm milk mixture, and beat until combined. Add 1 egg (50 grams), beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 cups (250 grams) flour, beating just until a shaggy dough comes together, stopping to scrape sides of bowl.Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, about 24 minutes, stopping to scrape bottom and 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, about 1 hour. LEGGI TUTTO

      Cinnamon Roll Focaccia

      ha scritto per te

      Though focaccia is traditionally topped with just olive oil and herbs, we’ve found our new favorite breakfast bread by swapping savory for sugar and spice.

      Cinnamon Roll Focaccia

      Makes 1 (13×9-inch) loaf

      1¾ cups (420 grams) water, room temperature (70°F/21°C to 75°F/24°C)4 tablespoons (56 grams) extra-virgin olive oil, divided4¼ cups (540 grams) bread flour3½ teaspoons (10.5 grams) kosher salt1 tablespoon (12 grams) granulated sugar1 (0.25-ounce) package (7 grams) instant yeast*⅓ cup (73 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar2 tablespoons (12 grams) ground cinnamon3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, melted2 ounces (57 grams) cream cheese, room temperature⅓ cup (40 grams) confectioners’ sugar2 tablespoons (30 grams) whole milk

      In a large bowl, combine 1¾ cups (420 grams) room temperature water and 2 tablespoons (28 grams) oil; add flour, salt, granulated sugar, and yeast. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough forms. (Dough will be shaggy and tacky.) Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) for 1½ hours, folding dough in bowl every 30 minutes. (To fold, use wet or oiled hands to reach under one side of dough; gently stretch up, and fold over center; repeat on all sides of dough. (See more below))Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan. Brush remaining 2 tablespoons (28 grams) oil onto parchment.Turn out dough into prepared pan; using just your fingertips, gently stretch dough to about a 10×8-inch rectangle. (If dough is tight and will not stretch completely, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes and then try again.)In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of sugar mixture (about ¼ cup or 43 grams) onto dough. Starting at one short side, carefully roll up dough into a log. Place dough lengthwise, seam side down, in pan. Let stand for 10 minutes. Using your fingertips, gently stretch dough to fill pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size and jiggly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).Dimple dough using your fingertips, touching pan through dough without tearing dough.Add melted butter to remaining brown sugar mixture, whisking until combined. Spoon onto dough.Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from pan.In another bowl, whisk together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar; whisk in milk until smooth. Drizzle onto warm focaccia. Serve warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

      NO NEED TO KNEAD
      The traditional practice of kneading is replaced with a simple folding technique in focaccia dough

      Oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) for 1½ hours, folding dough in bowl every 30 minutes. As the name implies, a high-hydration dough is relatively wet, so before folding, wet or oil your hands to prevent sticking. Reach under one side of dough, and gently stretch the edge of the dough as high as you can without tearing. Once you reach the top, fold the dough over the center. This motion strengthens the gluten network and is the preferred method to build elasticity for doughs that have high hydration levels. Repeat three more times around bowl to complete one round of folding. Fold the dough in the bowl every 30 minutes for a total of 1½ hours. By the last fold, you should notice the dough has become smooth and elastic. LEGGI TUTTO

      Baking School In-Depth: Glazed and Filled Yeasted Doughnuts

      ha scritto per te

      1. In a 4- to 6-quart cast-iron Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°F (185°C). Line several rimmed baking sheets with paper towels.Before you fry, you need to have your oil prepped and ready. That means having it poured to a depth of 2 inches in your pot and at the temperature called for in the recipe (365°F/185°C in the case of our yeasted doughnuts).
      2. Using parchment paper to pick up doughnut holes, transfer doughnut holes in batches to hot oil, letting holes gently fall off parchment into oil. (Do not place parchment in oil.) Fry in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Using a spider strainer, remove doughnut holes, and let drain on prepared pans.Using parchment helps you easily and safely transfer and lower dough into the hot oil. Bubbles should immediately begin forming around the dough; if not, check the oil’s temperature to ensure it’s hot enough.
      3. Using parchment paper to pick up doughnuts, transfer doughnuts in batches to hot oil, letting doughnuts gently fall off parchment into oil. (Do not place parchment paper in oil.) Fry doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Using a spider strainer, remove doughnuts, and let drain on prepared pans. Fill and glaze as desired. Best served same day.
      While frying, it’s important not to overcrowd the pot, or it’ll reduce the temperature of the oil. In a minute, you’ll turn them to reveal a golden underside. When a yeasted doughnut is fried, it should have a pale ring around its center, known as the “proof line.” This happens because air inside the dough makes the doughnut float just above its midpoint. As a result, the top and bottom fry in the oil while a ring around the middle stays just above the oil level. Once the doughnuts have been turned and fried until golden, you’ll want to transfer them to the prepared pans to cool immediately. LEGGI TUTTO

      Ciabatta Rolls

      ha scritto per te

      The large, open crumb that’s characteristic of ciabatta bread comes from a high hydration level in the dough as well as a poolish, which is a type of preferment (a fermentation starter or, sometimes, a “mother dough”) that gives bread a slightly nutty flavor and thin crust. Pile these rolls high with salami, provolone, and other Italian ingredients for perfect panini!  LEGGI TUTTO
