HELEN FLETCHER'S PINEAPPLE KOLACHE

I am going to say something quite daring, so here it goes: this might very well be the best thing I’ve baked in a whole year! If you follow my blog, you probably know I am quite fond of Helen’s recipes, because not only they always work, but her explanations are crystal clear, and make you comfortable to try something even if it seems complex or out of your skill level. I had never made kolache,…

Tried to make a loaf of bread for the week, accidentally made the world's largest dinner roll

I made pecan sticky buns with a salted bourbon caramel sauce for a friend’s birthday, and the only flaw in this plan is that I now have a bunch of leftover caramel that I don’t know what to do with

The Duality of Being A Graves Girlie

Fic one: Graves is the antagonist after a certain point, causes problems, is an all-around piece of shit

Fic two: Graves realizes he's in the wrong and does his best to remedy this, even if it means putting himself in harm's way

There is no in between and I think that's beautiful

I got a pretty bad burn to my hand this afternoon so baking this bread was damn near impossible, but I did it! Happy solstice, from me and our downsized star!

I should know better than to be on TikTok at all, let alone argue with random Europeans on TikTok but. Just.

"What does protein have to do with good bread?" EVERYTHING, JOHANN. Christ alive. Protein is what differentiates BREAD from A SAD BRICK OF BOOZY STARCH.

We have a different bread culture! We have different wheat! So! Our fresh bread! Is different! Oh! My god!

Mincemeat Kings' Crown

When I visit someone, I never come empty-handed. Whomever that someone is: a friend, family, a co-worker, an overseas landlady, a brief lover, an Airbnb host... I can bring flowers, Chocolates, or a small gift, a good bottle of wine, or home-brewed Cider or Liqueur, perhaps. But more often than not, it's cake. Cake makes people happy, doesn't it? Thus, as we are visiting my sister, Jules, in Dijon this weekend, and she's said she hadn't had a Kings’ Crown or Cake yet, I baked this beautiful Mincemeat Kings' Crown to bring her. A delicious way, we found, of toasting (with home-brewed Cider) to her new table, bench and chairs after spending an arvo assembling them!

Ingredients (makes 1 brioche):

4 cups strong white flour

1/3 cup caster sugar

4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast

2 teaspoons salt

4 large eggs

½ cup milk

1 cup unsalted butter, cut into small chunks

1/2 cup Ava’s Mincemeat 

a fève*

1 egg, lightly beaten

½ tablespoon milk

1/4 cup Honey Syrup 

1 tablespoon pearl sugar

The day before, combine strong white flour, caster sugar, yeast and salt (they shouldn’t touch at this stage) in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Turn on low speed until well-combined.

Turn on medium speed and add the eggs and milk, and mix 4 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough will be quite sticky at this stage. Gradually add butter, a few chunks at a time until fully incorporated. When all the butter is incorporated, increase speed to high and mix, 4 to 6 minutes, until dough is soft, shiny and slaps the sides of the bowl.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly to form a ball. Pop the dough ball in a lightly oiled large bowl and cover with cling film. Let rise at room temperature for an hour.

Again, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly. Shape into a ball, and return dough to the lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling film, and prove once more a couple of hours or until the dough has tripled in size. Place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight. The dough will continue proving, which will give the brioche a light and airy texture.

In the morning, remove the bowl from the refrigerator, and allow the dough to come back to room temperature, for 1 hour.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.

Remove cling film and turn dough out on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal portions. Roll two of the portions into large rectangles onto a lightly floured surface.

Spread half of the Mincemeat onto the first dough rectangle, leaving at least an inch on the outward edge, and roll it tightly like you would a Swiss roll, seal the seam, and gently roll into a long “sausage”. Set aside.

Spread remaining Mincemeat onto the second dough rectangle, leaving at least an inch on the outward edge. Again, roll gently but tightly.

Roll the plain portion into a long “sausage” the same length as the others. Hide the fève* in it!

Place them all vertically on the work surface, pinching the end of all of them firmly together. Plait, and shape into a crown. Place on prepared baking tray. Leave to prove for 30 minutes to one hour in a warm, draught-free room.

Whisk the egg and milk together.

Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F. Once the brioche has risen, brush thoroughly with egg wash. Bake at 190°C/375°F  for 35 minutes, until a nice golden brown colour.

Meanwhile, heat Honey Syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.

Remove Mincemeat Kings’ Crown from the oven, and immediately brush all over with the Honey Syrup, to glaze. Sprinkle generously with pearl sugar. Transfer to serving plate and let cool for a bit before serving and finding out who’ll be crowned Queen or King! Serve with chilled Cider (Brut or Doux).

*A fève is a tiny porcelain figurine traditionally hidden in Epiphany Galette des Rois or Kings’ Brioche in France. Whoever finds it in their slice is Queen or King for the day. Before it was a figurine, a dried fava bean (”fève”, in French) used to be hidden, hence the name.

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls

Yummy in my tummy! Let's learn how to bake some cinnamon rolls!

Cinnamon Roll Nothing smells better than fresh baked cinnamon rolls.  Although cinnamon rolls can be made anytime, I look forward to this dessert every Fall.  Something about the smell of cinnamon and the Fall season go great together.  Cinnamon rolls can be eaten as a breakfast, dessert, or snack.  However, if you choose to make this dessert, please know it’s a little more laborious than…
