Bread / Italian Herb and Cheese Subs - just like Subway
« on: September 07, 2016, 12:19:55 am »
Use our Silicone Baguette Tray to make your own Subway Subs. My all time favourite Sub is Italian Herb and Cheese. The combination of parmesan, oregano, rosemary, garlic and mozzarella on top of fresh white baguettes smells delicious and is perfect with any filling. Make five foot-long Subs with our fantastic recipe – see if you can tell the difference.

Italian Herb And Cheese Topping
100g grated mozzarella cheese
10g rice
30g Parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
1 ½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary

Bread Dough
360g tepid water
2 tsp instant dried yeast
10g sugar
25g powdered milk
1 tsp salt
2 tsp bread improver
20g oil
600g white baker’s flour

Prepare the Italian Herb and Cheese Topping
    In a separate small bowl, weigh the mozzarella cheese and set aside
    Place the rice and Parmesan cheese in the TM Bowl. Mill for 2 minutes at Speed 10
    Add the garlic powder, oregano and rosemary
    Mix at Speed 5 for 5 seconds. Set aside

Prepare the Bread Dough
    Without cleaning the bowl, add the water first, then remaining ingredients to the Thermomix bowl
    Mix at speed 3 for 15 seconds
    Knead for 8 minutes dough function
    Transfer dough to a lightly floured TM Essentials Non-Stick Silicone Mat
    Wrap dough lightly to protect it from drying out and giving it room to rise
    Rest the dough in the oven set to 30°C (defrost setting) for 15 minutes
    The dough will have doubled in size during this time
    Using the mat the dough rested in, cut the dough in five equal pieces with a Silicone Spatula
    Roll each piece of dough into a long sausage the length of the Baguette Tray
    Place the dough into the Baguette Tray and press into the base
    Using a Pastry Brush, brush each baguette with water
    Sprinkle the herb mix on top of each baguette
    Top with mozzarella cheese
    Cover lightly with the Non-Stick Silicone Mat and allow to prove for 50 minutes in the oven set to 30°C (defrost setting)
    Remove from the oven and heat the oven to 200°C
    Remove the Non-Stick Silicone Mat and gently place in the oven
    Pour ½ cup ice in the base of the oven, either on the floor of the oven or on a tray
    Close the oven door and reduce the heat to 180°C
    Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden

« on: March 31, 2015, 09:01:22 am »
HOT CROSS BUNS

320g luke warm water
30g cocoa powder
2 tsps dried yeast
20g sugar
620g bakers flour
160g dark chocolate

CROSS PASTE

1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp plain flour
3 tbsp cold water

Add all hot cross bun ingredients except dark chocolate and mix at Speed 5 for 10 seconds.
Knead on dough mode for 6 minutes.
Remove from bowl and let rest in a warm, draught free place in a TM Essentials Silicone Mat lightly dusted with flour or a covered bowl for 30-40 minutes until dough doubles in size.
Punch down the centre of the dough with your fist. Knead for 2-3 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic and has returned to its original size. Divide into 16 equal portions. If using a Silicone Mat cut the dough with a TM Essentials Silicone Spatula.
Shape into balls. When forming the dough into buns, place a 10g piece of the dark chocolate into the centre of each ball and shape dough around the chocolate to enclose.
Place side-by-side, on the prepared tray. Place in a warm, draught-free place for 30 minutes or until dough has risen 1-2cm.
To make the cross paste, combine the cocoa powder, flour and water in a bowl until a smooth paste forms. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 2mm plain nozzle. Pipe in a continuous line along the centre of each row of buns. Repeat in the opposite direction to make crosses.
Bake for 20 minutes at 180C until the buns sound hollow when tapped on the base.
