Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal. I sliced the dough, vertically, into six long strips. After 30 minutes in the oven… oh man…. bread heaven. Makes: one 9x5x3-inch loaf
Cheese Puffs filled with warm Bacon Mornay Sauce Gruyère Puffs filled with Warm Bacon Mornay Sauce As shared from the kitchen of Once Upon a Plate by Mari (www.onceuponaplate1.com)Inspired by Tyler Florence's Wayfare Tavern, San FranciscoThe number of Gougeres this recipe yields will depend upon the size in which you form the batter. 1-Tablespoon size generally will produce about 2 dozen pieces. I always half this recipe for my small family. Incidentally the Cheese Puffs are delicious, served warm on their own, without the Mornay filling. Make and bake the Gougeres. Cheese Gougeres 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup whole milk 1 stick unsalted butter pinch of kosher salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 large eggs 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (1 cup) 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
