Receta Ensaïmadas; The Bread Baking Babes do Mallorca
Ingredientes
- 500g all-purpose flour (plus additional as needed ) I used another 1/8th cup
- 75g sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 40g fresh yeast (= 1 cube) 3 tsp active dry yeast
- 200-250ml lukewarm milk I used about 180ml
- 2 eggs (M)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150g soft pork lard olive oil - didn't measure
- powdered sugar for dusting with mon mari being diabetic I skipped this
- Add
- the flour together with sugar and salt into a large bowl (I used my
- KitchenAid bowl) and mix well. Make a hollow in the center, add the
- crumbled yeast as well as a decent pinch of sugar and pour over just
- enough of the lukewarm milk until the yeast is covered. Stir the yeast
- milk once or twice, then cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let
- rest for about 15 minutes or until the surface of the yeast milk looks
- bubbly.
- Add
- the other ingredients (the remaining milk, eggs,olive oil ) and knead
- well, either by hand or with your kitchen machine until the dough comes
- together nicely. I used less milk in the beginning (200 or 220 ml,
- while the original recipe suggests 250 ml) and my dough still turned
- out pretty sticky, I therefor added a tad more flour and let it knead
- at medium speed for 3 minutes (just for the record: my dough still felt
- sticky). Let the covered bowl rest again in a warm place for at least
- Grain Doe - Gorel
