simit - a turkish bread

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrm wbt,

roti turki ni buat makan petang di hari cuti..
alhamdulillah.. kenyang satu family :)

ada yg dicicah dgn nutella, susu pekat & cheese spread

sumber: yelda's kitchen

Dough

• 3½ teaspoon active dry yeast
• Pinch of sugar
• ¼ cup warm water
• 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1¼ teaspoon salt
• About 1 cup lukewarm water
• 2 tablespoon molasses
• 1 cup water

Topping

• 2-3 cups sesame seeds

1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in ¼ cup warm water and let stand 10 minutes in a warm place until frothy.
2. Mix flour, yeast mixture, salt and water. Knead at least 15 minutes by hand, or 10 minutes by heavy-duty mixer, until the dough is very smooth and springy. Put the dough in a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise 2 hours.
3. Knead the dough a few times on a lightly floured work surface, roll into a log, and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball and let rest under a slightly damp towel about 30 minutes.
4. Roll each ball into a 14 inch long rope. Hold down one end of the rope with one hand while twisting it with the other. Then form this twisted rope into ring, pressing and rolling the overlapping ends together on the work surface with one hand to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet and let rest 1 hour.
5. Dissolve the molasses in 1 cup water in a bowl. Put the sesame seeds in another bowl and set it next to the molasses water. Dip each “simit” in molasses water first, then in the sesame seeds, making sure the “simit” is completely and thickly coated with the seeds on all sides. Put it back on the baking sheet and let rest for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F 30 minutes before baking. Put a few cups of water in an ovenproof pan and place it in the oven.
7. Take each ring and rotate it gently through your hands, enlarging it into a 7 inch circle. Place the rings back on the baking sheet and let rest for 15 minutes or until well puffed. 
8. Bake about 15-20 minutes until rich golden brown in color.
9. They are their best eaten fresh out of the oven. They will be good all day. You can also reheat them wrapped in foil to freshen them.

assalamu'alaikum wrm wbt

jutaan kemaafan dipohonkan pada teman2 blog
tiada berkesempatan utk bw dan meninggalkan jejak
walaupun hati meronta2 nak menyampuk cerita

semalam cik abe bersuara..
masa yg ada bersama anak cuma malam hari
cubalah utk betul2 bersama2 mereka - {dusyummm..!!!}
lagipula.. anak2 akan copy and paste perlakuan ummi & abah
umminya asik ngadap pc.. tengok blog & fb
abahnya ngadap pc jugak tapi buat kerja
yg lagi best semestinya blog & fb
yg lagi best itulah yg lebih melalaikan
yg menjauhkan kita daripada mengingati Tuhan
nampak sangat dah lupa ayat AlQuran yg glamer ni:
"alaa bizikrillahi tadmainnal qulub"
(hanya dengan mengingati Allah hati akan menjadi tenteram)

selepas ini mungkin post saya ringkas
mungkin hanya resepinya sahaja..

harapan saya cuma dua:
1. agar teman2 tidak berkecil hati dgn diri ini..
2. masih sudi menjengok teman yg membisu di sini..

yang pasti.. saya kena pandai2 curi masa utk update blog..
yang juga pasti.. saya akan tetap menjengah ruangan teman2.. insyaallah..

the crust is crunchy! the whole pizza is addictive!

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2. In a large bowl, whisk egg and sugar together until smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract, then add bananas and milk and mix until combined. Add in dry ingredients slowing, mixing with a spoon until batter comes together. Add in melted butter and mix until incorporated, then stir in melt chocolate.
3. Toss chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon to coat, then fold into batter. Pour batter into loaf pan. Set pan on a baking sheet, then bake for 55-60 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove bread from over and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired (i wanted to sprinkle but i totally forgot abt this!! ). Let cool completely (1-2 hours) before cutting.

basbousa

assalamu'alaikum wrm. wbt.
bismillahirrahmanirraheem..

asalnya saya jumpa basbousa ni dalam turkishcookbook.com
tapi sudahnya ikut resepi lain dari kitsch in the kitchen
kenapa?
sebab saspen tengok air gula banyak sangat
terus terbayangkan wad diabetic kat hospital kb!

tapi bila dah siap. baru faham.. kenapa perlu air gula sebanyak itu
ia diperlukan utk melembabkan kek yang kering
resepi yang saya cuba, memang keknya agak kering..
mungkin sebab kekurangan air gula?
atau mungkin sebab saya 'gelenya' tambah baking time?

For the cake

• 2 1/2 cups coarse semolina
• 1 cup dessicated coconut
• 1 cup (220g) caster sugar
• 1/2 cup (75g) self-raising flour
• 200g thick yoghurt
• 200g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 25-30 blanched almonds
• milk, if required

For the syrup

• 1 1/2 cups (330g) sugar
• 1 cup (250ml) water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon rosewater

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F), grease and line the base of a 30cm x 20cm x 4cm (12" x 8" x 1") baking tin.
2. Mix the semolina, coconut, flour, yoghurt,melted butter, and vanilla in a bowl. The mixture should be stiff but not dry, if it is too difficult to stir add a little milk.
3. Spread the mixture into the baking pan, then cut it diagonally into diamonds about 5cm (1") wide. Place an almond in the centre of each diamond.
4. Bake the cake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until golden on top. <-- i baked for 1hour. might be another reason why the cake is quite dry.
5. Whilst the cake is cooking, begin the syrup. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and rosewater.
6. Pour the syrup slowly all over the cake. 

mina

Mina - hanya 3hari dalam setahun perkhemahan Mina dihuni manusia

itulah kata2 ustaz mohd. hasnil..

sepanjang di Mina, para jemaah digalakkan membanyakkan amal ibadat

berzikir, solat sunat, baca quran dan terjemahan/ tafsir, baca matsurat dan berdoa

berapa juzuk alquran mahu dihabiskan

solat sunat jangan ditinggalkan

begitu juga amalan2 sunat yang lain..

cuba buat sehabis baik!

red velvet brownies

assalamu'alaikum wrm wbt
bismillahirrahmanirraheem..


semasa saya di tanah haram, blog ini disekat
cik abe kata nak suruh tumpu kepada ibadah semata..

pabila pulang, masih begitu juga.
langsung hilang segala. terasa gelap seketika..
segala perkongsian dirasakan sia2
tertanya2 apakah hikmahnya..

selepas 3 hari berhibernasi, saya cuba lagi
alhamdulillah.. teruja seketika pabila nampak kaabah!
post terakhir sebelum berangkat ke tanah suci

brownies ni buat bila anak2 sedara datang isnin yang lalu..
bakinya dibawa ke opis keesokan harinya..
tapi kesempatan utk post cuma datang semalam..
namun, bila cuba publish post .. hanya keluar tajuk.
apakah itu tanda2 blog ini harus dibiarkan saja??

adaptasi dari smells like home
sila klik link diatas untuk resepi frosting.
saya cuma tambah adunan creamcheese (creamcheese + gula + telur) dan marblekan diatas brownies.

red = love

• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 oz red food coloring (this is one small bottle or a scant 2 tbsp)
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, divided
• 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt <-- saya tak letak since guna salted butter
• 1/4 tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp vinegar <-- saja tambah

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8″x8″ baking pan.
2. In a small bowl, slowly stir together the cocoa powder, food coloring, and 1 tsp vanilla into a thick paste until no lumps of cocoa remain. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the remaining 1 tsp of vanilla. With the mixer off, add in the cocoa mixture, then turn the mixer to medium and beat the two mixtures together until they are one uniform color. Slowly add in the flour and salt and mix on medium-low speed, just until combined. Do not overmix.
4. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir up the batter with a rubber spatula once or twice just to ensure all of the flour has incorporated from the sides of the bowl and there isn’t anything stuck on the bottom of the bowl. You’ll want one uniformly colored (red) batter. ++ add the soda+vinegar and mix evenly. 
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the brownies. ++ add cream cheese mixture on top and swirl with knife .
6. Allow brownies to completely cool in the pan on a baking rack before cutting.
