Baking is like a delightful blend of science and art that transforms simple ingredients into a DELICIOUS treats. At its core, baking involves mixing flour, sugar, eggs, and butter ( that is the common and important ingredient of baking ), then applying heat to create everything from bread and cakes to cookies and pastries.
CRÉME BRULEE AND BREAD PUDDING HAS THE SAME INGREDIENTS IN MAKING OF IT.
NOW, that I'm 2nd Year in my course. This advance baking (major subj) is we though of how to make it. let's start with the bread pudding ;
Bread Pudding
Ingredients
6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces (loaf bread will do at least 250- 300 grams)
¼ cup
white sugar or caster sugar
½ tsp
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup
heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (buttercup will do or margarine)
Pinch
salt
½ cup raisins (Optional)
2 cups milk (evaporated milk 1 pc 410
ml can will do)
½ to ¼ cup white sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cut bread into small squares (at least ½-1 inch big)
Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. (any pan will do make sure that the bread will be enough to fill the baking pan and it must be slightly compact)
In a separate pan heat milk until boiling point then remove add butter.
Whisk in the milk sugar cinnamon and vanilla until slightly cook.
Add slowly the beaten eggs to the slightly warm milk and combined properly.
Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid. (make sure all the bread is soak properly)
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
CRÈME BRULEE (BAKED CUSTARD)
Ingredients:
5 pcs
egg yolks
¼ cup
white sugar or caster sugar
½ tsp
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup
heavy cream
Pinch
salt
2 tbsp white sugar and 1 tbsp brown sugar for caramel top
Procedure:
Preparation: Preheat oven to 130°C/265°F (120°C fan). Place 5 x 34 cup / 150 ml empty ramekins in a baking pan with high enough sides that enough water can be poured in to come halfway up ramekins.
Boil water: Boil a kettle of water.
Whisk egg yolks, vanilla extract, salt and sugar: Whisk yolks and sugar until just well combined. Don't whisk too much, as this can create bubbles.
Add cream: Pour cream into eggs and gently stir to combine. Divide mixture between ramekins with a soup ladle.
Water bath: Pour in enough boiling water so it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. (If you have too much water, ramekins will float around - not good!)
Bake: Bake for 35 40 minutes, or until the custard is set but there is still a slight wobble when you GENTLY give the ramekin a little shake.
Chill: Remove ramekins from water. Leave to cool. (it is best to chill it to help it set.)
Wipe to ramekin rim and dab excess moisture on top of the custard.
Sift/sprinkle lightly the white sugar mixture evenly over custard.
brown the sugar using a blow torch.
Baking is not just about the end product; it's also about the joy of creating something from scratch. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or just for fun, it's a rewarding and enjoyable that anyone can learn. Happy baking !
