Kaastengels

A new favourite in the house. Just because it's almost Idul Fitri and this is one of the firm favorite, i think I am just homesick. Anyway, from the name I suspected that Kaastengels is from Holland with Kaas means cheese. This crumbly buttery shortcake is packed full of tangy cheese. It is very simple and quick to make too. Now, I know that there's a special cutter for the cookies but since I don't I just cut them in strips.

Ingredient:
300 gr Butter or Margarine
200 gr Cheese - I use Edam Cheese the first time and second batch uses Cheddar
400 gr All-purpose flour
2 tbsp Powdered milk (I do not use)
2 egg yolks

Glaze : 2 Egg yolks lightly beaten with 2 tbsp milk

Topping : 50 gr Grated cheese

Directions:

1. Using an electric mixer, Beat butter/margarine with the egg yolks on a low speed. You don't have to do this for a long time. 2 -3 minute will do just to make sure the butter and yolks are well mixed
2. Add the cheese, flour and powdered milk. Mix well - about 2 -3 minutes
3. Turn off the electric mixer. If the dough is still sticky. Add 1 tbsp of flour and gently mixed with your hand until they no longer sticky to your hand. The texture will need to be soft.
4. Flattened the dough into 1/2 cm thick or to your liking and use the Kaastengles cutter to cut it. Or just make a rectangle shaped and cut them to strips.
5. Arrange the cut-out dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper, brush them with the glaze and sprinkled the extra cheese on top.
6. Bake for 20 minutes of low to medium heat or on 125 degree C, until golden and cooked.

No cutter, well... I am aiming for rustic touch anyway... hehehe

Homemade Bread with Cheese filling

I have always wanted to make bread for 2 reasons: My husband loves bread and cutting down on budget. Therefore, in the spirit of procrastinating in my final essay week - where every mundane thing became increasingly interesting and 'important', I tried out this amazing recipe that remarkably made me the talk about the house - because my daughter and husband lined up in front of the oven just to wait for the bread to finish baking. I must say thank you and give the highest acknowledgement to Mbak Hesti HH whose recipe I use, I did make some changes based on what's available... Thank you Mbak!!... Thus in the spirit of Dora the Explorer I want to say... "I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!".

Source : Hesti's Kitchen Blog

Ingredients:
400 g High Protein Flour
100 g All purpose flour
120 g Granulated Sugar
1 sachet Instant Yeast
2 tbsp Powdered milk -- I didn't use
3 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
75 gr salted butter
225 ml warm milk

Filling:
Cheese cut to match Sticks shapes or grated

Glaze:
2 egg yolks
1 tsp milk

Direction:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, powdered milk, yeast) in the mixing bowl.
2. Attach the spiral or the bread mix hook to your mixer. Put in the egg yolks one by one when mixing the ingredients with the egg. 
3. Add the salt and salted butter. Keep mixing until it is elastic 
4. Fermented it by covering the dough with a damp cloth and put in a warm place for about 30 - 45 minutes
5. After it grows double to its size, punched it down. Cut and weigh the dough to 40 gr each. or just eye ball them to similar size that you prefer (no bigger than your fist)
6. Fermented again with the same manner for 45 mins. 
7. brush the glaze to the top and bake in a 200 C/400 F/ GM 4 for 10 minutes or until done. 
8. Take it out of the oven and brushed with butter or margarine
