EASY AND SPONGY MILK BREAD RECIPE

EASY AND SPONGY MILK BREAD RECIPE

Have you ever wondered why Asian bread is consistently chewy yet still soft? Tangzhong is the cause of it. What is Tangzhong? It’s a roux (flour and water) that keeps the bread incredibly soft and moist. You can be certain that your Milk Bread will always turn out perfectly if you add Tangzhong. To help you save time, I suggest making your Tangzhong the night before and ensuring it has completely cooled before adding it to the other ingredients.

Ingredients:

  1. 4 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  3. 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup warm milk
  6. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  7. 1 large egg, beaten

Directions:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Stir until a soft dough forms.
    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
    Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it back to the floured surface and divide it into equal-sized portions.
    Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased loaf pan, leaving a little space between each ball.
  • Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes or until it fills the pan and becomes puffy.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is rising.
    Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Air Fryer Moroccan-Spiced Carrots

by

Air Fryer Moroccan-Spiced Carrots

A mixture of spices gives those carrots—which might or might not have been left in the crisper for a week too long—a burst of flavor. Serve with halloumi or tofu or anything

ARE CARROTS IN THE AIR HYGIENE? Carrots do offer some nutritional advantages, such as antioxidants, vitamin A, and a reasonable bit of fiber, if you’re going to serve a higher-carb veggie with your holiday meal. (If you look at the nutritional data, you’ll probably be shocked!)

components

  1. Peel, trim, and cut 1 pound of medium carrots into ½-thick slices on the bias.
  2. One tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  3. 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
  4. Grind 1/2 teaspoon of coriander
  5. 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
  6. A half-tsp kosher salt
  7. A half-tsp of paprika smoked
  8. Double-scoop fresh orange juice
  9. two tsp. lemon juice, fresh
  10. 4.25 c. seeds of pomegranates
  11. Chop 2 tablespoons of toasted almonds.
  12. Tear up the fresh mint leaves to serve.

Guidelines

Step 1: Combine the carrots, oil, salt, paprika, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Scrape into the basket of an air fryer; set aside bowl. Cook for about 13 minutes at 370°, or until carrots are just soft.

Step 2: Mix lemon juice and orange juice in the bowl that was set aside. Toss to coat and add the heated carrots. Add mint, almonds, and pomegranate seeds over top.

NOTES For this dish,

  • powdered chile powder—which is prepared from dried ground chile peppers—works best. I used Penzeys Ancho Chile Powder. However, feel free to use the chili powder blend if that’s all you have!

Air Fryer Roasted Garlic

Air Fryer Roasted Garlic

Air Fryer Roasted Garlic

This roasted garlic in the air fryer is a simple, quick, and ideal side dish for almost any savory dish!

Ten Uses for Roasted Garlic

  • And these are a few of my favorite applications for this roasted garlic from the air fryer!
  • For a taste boost, add it to homemade salad dressings.
    For an instant improvement, stir it into marinara sauce.
  • Spread it on sandwiches or plant-based burgers.
  • Blend it with the vegan meatballs, or place a single
  • roasted garlic clove in the middle of each one.
  • For the greatest garlic bread ever, spread it over a loaf of bread.
  • Combine it with roasted veggies and balsamic dressing for a more flavorful side dish.
  • Use it instead of normal garlic in your upcoming homemade hummus recipe.
  • Use mashed garlic cloves in place of regular pizza sauce, or scatter entire cloves over a pie.
  • Blend it into smooth soups, such as vegan potato soup.
    Make a white bean dip with toasted garlic.

Success Advice:

  • Although this recipe is fairly simple, there are a few things you should know before you begin.
  • Verify that every clove is visible. Occasionally, little cloves can be found on the side of the garlic head that are not visible when the top is cut off. Remember to cut those open as well!
  • Triple or quadruple the recipe. You can cook more than two heads of garlic in your air fryer as long as the basket isn’t overcrowded. It freezes well, so you might want to make a double batch!
  • Give it time to cool. The cloves within can burn your fingers if you try to squeeze them out, even though it feels cool on the surface.

Ingredients:

  1. two garlic heads
  2. One tsp olive oil

Directions:

  • Cut off the top of the head of garlic, with the cloves still connected, but just enough to expose them a bit. You want all the cloves slightly exposed. Place in some foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the top of each head. Wrap the foil around the garlic and air fry at 380°F/193°C for 25 mins. Let it cool in the air fryer (with the door closed) for about 5/-10 minutes before squeezing – else it’ll probably burn your fingers!
  • Remove softened cloves from the skin if using in a recipe with a knife or a tiny spoon or squeeze the cloves out. If not using immediately, refrigerate for up to 4 days (or freeze). Enjoy!

 

Notes:
Roasted garlic will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. To freeze roasted garlic, simply place the cloves in a freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to six months.

Crockpot Lasagna with Ravioli

by

Crockpot Lasagna with Ravioli

You’ll adore how simple this recipe for lasagna in the crock pot is. Your whole family will enjoy this dish!

Ingredients:

  1. 10 oz frozen ravioli bag;
  2. 1 pound mince beef;
  3. 24 oz container of your preferred spaghetti sauce;
  4. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese;
  5. 1 chopped yellow onion

Guidelines

  • Apply nonstick cooking spray to the slow cooker’s interior.
  • In a sizable skillet over the heat, brown the ground beef. If desired, drain fat. When the onions are tender and translucent, add the diced onion and simmer for a further three to five minutes.
  • In a slow cooker, put about one-third of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom.
  • Over the sauce, arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a uniform layer. Place half of the meat mixture and half of the leftover sauce on top.
  • Continue by layering another layer of ravioli, meat, and sauce before adding cheese. Leave uncovered and cook on low for two to three hours.

Variations

  • Thawing ravioli will alter how long they take to cook.
  • If you enjoy a very cheesy lasagna, try using ricotta cheese or a combination of cheeses. Ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, and Monterey Jack are good choices for this lasagna.
  • Use frozen ravioli filled with beef to make your crockpot lasagna more meaty, or top it with a layer of browned ground beef and Italian sausage. A tasty way to further bulk up this lasagna is to add frozen meatballs.
  • You may easily swap out the spaghetti sauce for crushed tomatoes from a can. If you enjoy a little heat, you might want to try Ro-Tel tomatoes.
  • Add some onion and garlic to your ground beef to enhance its flavor, or brown your ground beef

Tips

  • Before placing and layering the ingredients in the crockpot, spray it with nonstick cooking spray to make cleanup a joy.
  • If, after eating the lasagne, you still have trouble with food sticking to the pot, you might want to try adding a drier sheet and hot water to the pot. Because the dryer sheet helps to break down the molecules in solidified food, cleaning the pot after it has sat for two to twelve hours should be a pleasure.
