Tiramisu

As you guys know this very popular dessert from Italy, but do you know what Tiramisu means??

It means pick me up in italian. Well as you guys know I'm a huge fan of desserts, of course I baked a lot more daripada masak. Biasanya dulu pas masih tinggal di Cepu, kalo mau bikin tiramisu pasti bikin sponge cake nya dulu karna di kecamatan mana ada yang jual lady finger ciiiin ;) bahan-bahannya aja biasanya beli kalo lagi pulang ke Bogor atau ikut suami dinas. I knooow, gue niat banget kaan?? Yes, sesuka itulah gw sama dessert hahaha

Well after I got baking blues for almost 2 years, sekarang ini mulai rajin lagi baking. Selain ngelancarin tangan, juga supaya ngga terlalu banyak pikiran. Yes, I have trouble sleeping since my husband passed away. May he rest in peace.

Kali ini mau bikin tiramisu yang simple aja, pake lady finger. Dari dulu setiap bikin pasti selalu pake resepnya Natural Cooking Club sih. Well, check this one out

Fatmah Bahalwan

Bahan:250 gr keju mascarpone
300 ml whipping cream
100 gr gula bubuk
½ sdt esens vanilli
4 btr kuning telur
50 gr gula kastor

Bahan lain:

2 sdm kopi instan, cairkan dengan 150 ml air hangat

1 sdm gula pasir
150 ml kahlua/rhum (optional)
20 bh lady finger atau sponge cake coklat 3 lembar ukuran 22x22x3cm

Garnish:Whipped cream dan coklat bubuk secukupnya

Cara membuat:

1. Kocok sebentar keju mascarpone untuk menghilangkan gumpalannya, sisihkan.
2. Kocok whipping cream dan gula bubuk hingga kental dan kaku. Sisihkan dalam kulkas agar tidak meleleh.
3. Kocok kuning telur, gula kastor, dan vanilli hingga kental, lalu lanjutkan mengocok di atas air mendidih (kocok tim) hingga telur hangat. Angkat, teruskan mengocok hingga telur kembali dingin. Matikan mikser.
4. Keluarkan whipped cream dari dalam kulkas. Masukkan keju mascarphone yg sudah dikocok, aduk rata (atau kocok dengan mixer speed 1), tuangkan pula kocokan kuning telur, aduk hingga rata benar.
5. Ditempat lain, campur gula, air kopi, dan rhum (bila pakai), aduk rata, sisihkan.

 Penyelesaian:

1. Siapkan loyang bongkar pasang atau gelas saji. Susun lady finger (atau cake coklat sesuai selera) di bagian dasar hingga rata. Perciki dengan cairan kopi hingga lembab. Tuangkan adonan mascarphone, ratakan.
2. Susun lagi lady finger seperti lapisan bawah, basahi dengan cairan kopi, tuangi lagi dengan adonan mascarphone.
3. Buat dua atau tiga susun. Paling atas, hias dengan whipped krim, lalu ayakkan coklat bubuk.
4. Bekukan dalam kulkas selama 4 jam.

Catatan:

Pastikan telur sudah kembali menjadi dingin sebelum mencampurkannya dengan whipped cream dan mascarpone. Suhu hangat akan membuat whipped cream mencair. Jika anda tidak keberatan telur mentah, maka telur tidak perlu ditim.

Cinnamon rolls

Hi it's me again :)

Been craving for baking for so long. After 2 years off, now I'm back. Although it gave me goosebumps, because you know who else got sweettooth other than me? Yup it was my husband. He was an petroleum engineer but he also loved to bake. In fact, he was a better baker than I ever did. Sometimes when he got bored with his job, he baked something sweet. Maybe it was therapeutic for him. Oh God, I really miss him. May he rest in peace.

Okay, back to the baking part real quick before I cry my eyes out. Lately, I realized that cinnamon rolls been so popular. And they brought it to another level, with nutella and ovomaltine fillings. Well, because I'm an old soul lady, so I decided to bake a classic one. With the brown sugar and cinnamon for filling and ooey gooey cream cheese for topping.

After googled many recipes, I choose to use Laura Vitale's recipe. She's been my favorite lately after I watched her cooking show in AFC. But I still love Anna Olson and Martha Stewart more :D 

So here comes the recipe :

Cinnamon Rolls
recipe by Laura Vitale

Ingredients:

1 Package of Dry Yeast
¾ cup of Whole Milk
¼ cup of Granulated Sugar
¼ cup of Water, warmed up to 115 degrees
¼ tsp of Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1 tsp of Salt
¼ cup of Unsalted Butter, melted
4 cups of All Purpose Flour
¼ cup of Melted Butter, to brush over the top before baking

For the Filling,

1/3 cup of Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
¾ cup of Brown Sugar
¼ cup of Granulated Sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp of Ground Cinnamon

For the Glaze,

¼ cup of Cream Cheese, at room temperature
1 Tbsp of Butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups of Powdered Sugar
½ tsp of Vanilla Extract
3 to 4 Tbsp of Warm Milk

Process,

1) In a small bowl, combine the warm water and 1 tsp of the granulated sugar, sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

2) In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the egg, milk, salt, sugar and melted butter. Add 2 cups of the flour and the water, vanilla and yeast mixture, mix until its all incorporated and slowly add about 2 more cups of flour. Turn the speed up to medium and let it mix for about 5 to 7 minutes or until you have a smooth dough.

3) Oil a large bowl with some vegetable oil and set aside. Take the dough out of the mixer and pull it together with your hands to form a ball. Place it in the oiled bowl and oil the top of the dough with a little vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot to rise for about 2 hours.

4) In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon for the filling, set aside.

5) When doubled in size, punch the dough down and roll it out onto a floured surface into a 15x9” rectangle. Spread the soft butter over the top and sprinkle evenly over the sugar and cinnamon mixture.Staring from one of the long ends, tightly roll the dough into a jelly roll form. Cut into 14 to 16 slices (make sure they are even) and place them cut side down in a well buttered 9x13 baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let put them back into a warm spot to rise for another 1 ½ hours.

6) Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

7) Once risen, brush them with some melted butter and bake them for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

8) While the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes make the glaze. Mix all the ingredients of the glaze in a bowl except for the milk, once the cream cheese is all mixed, slowly add the milk until you get a runny glaze consistency. Immediately pour the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

If you must know, I kneaded the dough manually by my hands ;) Can you imagine how hard it was? No wonder I got my muscle afterwards LOL. If you have the remaining dough unbake, you can put it in the fridge. But you have to proof the dough 1,5 hour until it raise again before you bake it.

Swedish Meatballs

Iiiih udah lama ngga nulis blog ya, lagi sibuk sih soalnya alias sibuk ngelamun hahahaha :p Sebenernya pengen banget nulis tapi ngga tau deh mood ilang kemana, padahal resep-resep udah numpuk.

Ceritanya pas kapan itu gue belanja daging ke Toko Indoguna deket pasar santa, ya Allah boooook parkiran daerah situ emang ngga pernah sepi yee penuuuuh mulu. Akhirnya parkir agak jauhan, terus jalan kaki ke Indoguna ya lumayan lah itung-itung olahraga. Sampe Indoguna banyak banget tante-tante lagi pada ngeborong belanja daging. Katanya sih si Indoguna ini emang miring harganya dibanding meat shop lain, dan emang udah terkenal dari dulu. Yowes lah gue pun ikutan ngeborong mulai dari wagyu, daging cincang, daging sukiyaki, slinge ox tongue dll ujung-ujungnya sih jadi mahal juga ya kalo banyak gitu hahaha *miris ngegesek kartunya. Padahal belum tau juga sih mau dimasak apaan, yang penting beli dulu aja yakaaan 😉

Pada merhatiin ngga label harga di kemasannya?? Soalnya pas gw upload fotonya di instagram,  temen-temen gue pada komen belanjaan gw mewah. Padahal yang mereka liat harga per kilonya bukan harga per gram yang gue beli 😂 yakaliiiii cyin gw belanja daging juta-juta mendingan beli emas lah yaa hahaha

Sampe rumah yang pertama kali gw bikin yaitu si wagyu nya. Heran deeeh namanya udah wagyu tapi kok pas jadi keras kaya gepuk, padahal cara masaknya udah ngikutin resep-resep macem Jamie Oliver sama Martha stewart. Pas besoknya kelas di JCC gw tanya sama chefnya, ternyata karena daging yang gw beli bukan Premium Cut macem tenderloin,sirloin & rib eye sedangkan yang gw masak bagian rumple. Oalaaah gw pikir semua wagyu sama aja empuk, tau gitu kan ngga gue beli. Percobaan kedua bikin wagyu premium cut Alhamdulillah nyokap suka :)

Besokannya bikin gyutan don, bumbunya simple aja cuma soy sauce kikkoman, minyak wijen sama sedikit gula. Di marinate 15menit, terus di seared di teflon 1menit per sisi. Disajiin sama sunny side up 😋😋
