PAO DE DEUS & CINNAMON BUNS FOR THE WEEKEND

First of all, I would like to say thank you to the German Bakeira in Berlin, Germany for the great recipe PAO DE DEUS....translated BREAD of GOD!

I hope my Canadian Friends love it too.. easy to make and easy to fall in love with it.

It is almost a mixture of buns/rolls and the real killer is the topping of this great yummmy coconut crust.


the end result looks like this:


                                                                Delicious to the TASTE!



Here are the ingredients:

for the dough:

500 g flour (all-purpose)

150 g sugar

2 eggs

30 g yeast

100 g butter (room temperture)

250 ml milk

for the crust:

1 egg

80 g coconut flake

2 tbsp sugar

icing sugar as the finishing touch (only if you like)

Pre-heat your oven to 200 C/392 F

Part 1:

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk. Flour, sugar, eggs and butter mix everything well together.
Add slowly the milk and knead it to form a smooth dough. Cover the doug for 1 hour in plastic wrap.


Part 2:

Divide the dough in half and then in quarter. Each roll should weight not more than 100 g and form a roll. Once you done with rolling. Let it sit for another hour, cover it up with a damp towel or plastic wrap.

Part 3:

Prepare the coconut crust. Mix all the above ingredients together. Brush your rolls with milk and then top them with the coconut crust. Pre-heat your oven to 200 C/392 F

Then bring the temperature down to 180 C/357 F .... bake your rolls for about 20 min.

Voila...DONE!




Since I mention the cinnamon buns in my title...here is a taste of my recipe which I will post tomorrow...



They are all gone...and as usually...Deliciouse to the TASTE!

Schnitzel DAY - For Liam

Schnitzel is a great meal for my son Liam. When I have sometimes days were I absolutely do not know what I should cook...I just ask LIAM..."What would you like to have for dinner?"

And the answer is: "Schnitzel" you make the best Schnitzel in the whole wide World. What a compliment.

Here it is:

The secret to my recipe buy good meat: pork, veal, turkey or you can take chicken...

I ask my butcher to tender the meat which saves your time and energy. Unless, you angry about your neighbour...

For the battern: Spelt- flour, bread crumbs from left over spelt bread, organic eggs from my farmer

Use deep plates: you need 3 of those and I spice the eggs with salt and pepper, if you like you can add paprika

First start with FLOUR, EGG & SPELT BREAD CRUMBS




Then you add your coconut oil in the pan and add your Schnitzel in the heated coconut oil.
DO NOT WALK AWAY..you need to pay attention.

Once they golden brown on both sides, place them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven to keep them warm until youfinish with the rest of your dish > about 200 F to 310 F

Guten Appetit! Enjoy your meal :) YOUR SALLY...
