Ingredients:

• 150 grams hard flour
• 350 grams all-purpose flour
• 7 1/2 grams salt
• 35 grams granulated sugar
• 275-300 grams water (room temperature)
• 16 grams yeast
• 80 grams sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 500 grams water (lukewarm)

Directions:

• In a large bowl, add the room temperature water and yeast and mix with a spoon until the yeast has dissolved. Let the mixture rest for 5-6 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
• Add the hard wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and 35 grams of sugar to the bowl. Using the hook attachment on your mixer (if you have one), mix on medium/high. It should take about 7-8 minutes until a soft, elastic dough is formed. The dough will be easy to handle and will start to pull off the bottom of the bowl.
• Grease the interior of a different bowl with oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, until it doubles in size.
• Fill a bowl with the lukewarm water. Add the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves. Place the sesame seeds into a separate bowl.
• Brush some oil onto a clean work surface before setting down the dough. Cut the dough into about 10 pieces (each piece will weigh about 80 grams each).
• Form the dough into smooth balls. Knead each ball by hand into a long roll (like a sausage). Bring the two edges together to form a circle. Try to make them all the same size and shape.
• Dip each bagel into the bowl of water and then into the bowl of sesame seeds.
• Place pieces onto a 35 x 40 cm baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Can be served with a variety of ingredients, but I prefer it with tomato prosciutto and cream cheese.

Prep Time: 15 min; Cook Time: 45 min; Total: 1 hour

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

• 8 eggs
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups flour
• 4 cups milk
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• Confectioners sugar for dusting

Directions:

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Set aside to cool.

Ingredients:

• 200 grams banana
• 6 eggs
• 150 grams raw almonds
• 75 grams chocolate (85% chopped)

Directions:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Pour mixture into a 9-inch round cake pan and bake for 35 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 2 rectangular puff pastry dough
• 500 milliliters whole milk
• 4 XL egg yolks
• 125 grams sugar
• 50 grams cornflour
• Lemon skin
• 1/4 spoon salt
• Powdered sugar
• Raspberries

Directions:

• Cut the two puff pastry doughs into two pieces and place them on a baking tray with heavy objects on top of the pieces to avoid them raising while baking. Bake at 210°F for 12 to 14 minutes.
• Warm the milk in a saucepan along with the lemon skin (do not allow it to come to a boil). Throw off the lemon skin.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornflour, and salt. Add the egg yolks by whisking them into the dry ingredients. This will form a thick paste.
• Next, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture and whisk continuously to combine.
• Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
• Set the pan back over medium heat. Whisk constantly. At first, the pastry cream will look very thin and frothy, but it will start to thicken after a few minutes.
• Once the cream has thickened, remove from heat and allow it to cool.
• Place cream in a container and cover with a piece of plastic wrap pressed right up against the surface of the cream. Place in refrigerator and allow it to thoroughly chill.
• Assemble the pie by placing one sheet of puff pastry on a tray, followed by a layer of pastry cream. Repeat this step until you’ve used all of your puff pastry and cream.
• Garnish with raspberries.
• Sprinkle powdered sugar over the pie.

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons flour
• Vanilla sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 500 ml fresh liquid
• 500 ml milk
• 200 g sugar
• 20 g gelatin
• 5 yellows
• 3 orange
• 2 kiwis
• 2 bananas
• 6 strawberries
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 canned pineapple with juice
• 1 lemon essence

Directions:

• Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, add the sugar and vanilla sugar and continue to beat until we get a thick and glossy foam.
• When the egg whites are beat we incorporate the yolks and after the sifted flour.
• Mix them all easily with the spatula (not with the mixer).
• Pour the composition in the tray of a 22 cm tray (greased with butter and coated with flour) and bake the dough about 25-30 minutes at 170°C (oven preheated – medium step for gas). It doesn’t have to be very tall because it will only be in two layers.
• After baking, immediately remove from the tray and let it cool.
• Cut it into 2 layers only after it has completely cooled.
• Put the eggs in a metal bowl with the milk and flour , on the steam bath (Bain Marie), and cook the cream until it reaches 85°C (the eggs are boiled at 75°C, so do not eat raw eggs).
• Stir constantly and be careful not to coagulate the eggs.
• The cream should be hot, not boiled! At the first signs of thickening, remove from the steam bath and allow to cool.
• Hydrate the gelatin in very cold water (you can use gelatin sheets) and after it has softened (after about 5 minutes) squeeze it well by hand and add it to the hot cream, which you let cool for 5 minutes and then add the gelatin.
• Let the cream cool and mix in it every 15 minutes, after the gelling stage. It doesn’t have to cool completely, because the gelatin will harden and you can’t mix the vanilla cream with the cream anymore!
• Cooling takes over 30 minutes, so you have time to cut the fruit.
• Whisk the whipped cream, kept in the fridge beforehand.
• Be careful that the whipped cream is very cold and immediately activates the gelatin with vanilla cream and strengthens it. Mix these two parts just before assembling the cake, as follows:
  • Choose a suitable platter and a 26 cm cake ring – larger than the tray in which we baked the top.
  • The 2 parts are cut equally, we syrup them with orange juice mixed with a bit of rum and juice from the cherry compote, be careful to not reach the edges with the syrup.
  • Mix the whipped cream with the vanilla cream, add some fruit that does not stain, the rest will drain well and put them in layers, avoiding the coloring of the cream.
• TIP: If the base of the vanilla cream strengthens before mixing with the whisk, it is enough to reheat it for several minutes in the steam bath, you will see how it becomes liquid.
• Enjoy

Ingredients:

• 250 milliliters mild olive oil
• 250 grams sugar
• 250 grams pastry flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
• 5 eggs
• Food colors (red, orange, yellow, green, and blue)
• 1 litre liquid cream
• 5 large tablespoons glass sugar
• Round sugar paper with photo of choice

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
• In a large bowl, beat together oil, sugar, and eggs.
• In a separate bowl, sift the pastry flour and add in the yeast.
• Grease the molds of a mini-round cake pan with individual low-height molds.
• Add the flour/sifted yeast mixture to the oil/sugar/egg mixture with enveloping movements.
• Weigh the dough and divide into separate bowls in 5 equal parts. Add one pinch of the different food coloring to each bowl.
• Bake each cake for 12-15 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling by mixing the liquid cream with a mixer or by hand at a fast speed. As the cream thickens, add a bit of sugar glass to make the filling more consistent and sweet.
• Assemble the cake on a cake plate by interspersing the cake and filling layers.
• After the cake has been assembled, place the sugar paper with with the printed photo on top of the cake and use some of the leftover filling to place along the outside edge. You will need to do this using a pastry sleeve and mouthpiece.
• Enjoy!

• Origan

Directions:

• “Bloom” the yeast by sprinkling the sugar and yeast in a mix of 1 cup of the warm water and 1 cup of milk.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and bloomed yeast mixture. Add the rest of water. Mix using your hands and knead for 10-15 minutes.
• The dough should be soft, smooth, and bouncy. Form the dough into a taut round.
• Grease a clean, large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with textile wrap. Let the dough rise for at least three hours.
• After one hour, knead the dough again and repeat step 4. This time, let the dough rise for two hours.
• Preheat the oven as high as your oven will allow.
• Once the dough has rested, take a portion and start by poking the surface with your fingertips, until bubbles form and do not deflate.
• Place the pizza crust into a pan. Cover with tomato sauce and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes, then add mozzarella cheese and origan. Continue baking until the mozzarella is “filante” (stringy).
