Introduction

***

Eating bread that’s freshly baked at home makes us appreciate the value of superior-quality ingredients. Compared to other cooking methods, bread is well-loved by experienced bakers, while it causes anxiety to beginners. To bake successfully, you need a combination of high-quality ingredients, the right equipment, a balanced recipe, skilled hands, and of course, creativity. Long years of training people how to bake bread have made me see how home bakers take honing their baking skills seriously. They’re enthusiastic about improving their baking skills and putting a personal touch to each bread they make. But they also have to innovate and experiment. I aimed to come up with a book series for serious home bakers. This will also be a great material for casual holiday bakers who are building their technical skills gradually to find the best recipe. I wished to produce something that’s not only easy to read but also reflects my own passion for baking Somehow, I have gotten back to where I came from through this bread series. This bread baking series is indeed my best—from the traditional white bread that’s the staple in America to quick made using a food processor; top homemade croissants; best-known flatbreads and ; simplest to bake; and details about sour starters. You are handling “Pastry 365 Volume 1” This series also features information on breakfast rolls; lavish celebration breads; tasty breads for main dishes; and a wide range of healthy and delicious everyday loaves. Many American-style breads are baked in the commonly-known rectangular-loaf shape, which tend to be a richer and little sweeter than their crusty and free-form European predecessors. A lot of excellent breads are easy to make, almost similar to cakes in the sense that they require accurate amounts of , liquid, flavorings, , and leavening. However, these breads provide something of value to today’s bakers: quick and easy preparation. Baking a homemade bread is an easy way to achieve a well-balanced and healthy diet. You won’t find confusing and complex techniques or trick recipes in this book. Instead, you’ll get many simple tips that are usually left out in other baking books just because they’re simple. You’ll also find here details on dough makeup and assembly, a broad variety of baking and mixing techniques, and useful stuff about ingredients. Understanding the craft of baking bread is just as important as the discipline and skills needed to get a bread loaf in and out of the oven. To be a skillful baker, you don’t have to know a lot of recipes. A simple and unassuming but well-executed bread recipe serves as a good foundation for everything when it comes to baking. As a reader, I want you to shake off the feeling that you need to bake. Browse this baking book or find pleasure in reading it. Then go to your favorite market or to search for a delicious bread, flatbread, , croissant, or biscuit to indulge in. Breads that are as yummy and healthy as any homemade loaf are made by big commercial companies and small artisanal . Baking with anxiety or under pressure defeats the very purpose of this book. However, you need to bake at home to enjoy immediately your own crusty country loaf, an aromatic or breakfast bread, baby brioche hot from the oven, or the perfect biscuit. A good bread baker has a sense of innocence, peacefulness, creativity, and life-giving. To be one, you also need scientific techniques, good observation skills, and a talent for infusing precious flavors—all without compromising quality. Baking bread is a skill that links the baker with the rich tradition of bread and all the baking communities in the world. You also see more different types of bread recipes such as:  Holiday Bread  Bread Machine  Biscuit  Muffin  Yeast Bread  ... Thank you for choosing “Pastry 365 Volume 1”. I really hope that each book in the series will be always your best friend in your little kitchen. Let’s live happily and bake more pastries every day! Enjoy the book, Chapter 1: Cinnamon Rolls

281. Flaky Pastry Tart Shells

I use these prebaked tart shells (also called galettes) for a wide variety of fillings, both sweet and savory. Because you bake them directly on baking sheets, you don't need a cupboard full of tart pans to make any size tart you want. You don't need to weight the tarts as they bake to prevent the sides from caving in, and they always turn out very crisp and delicate throughout because there is nothing to get in the way of the oven's heat flow.

337. Pumpkin Clafouti

A clafouti is a sweet baked "pancake," made popular in France, that is usually filled with cherries or other seasonal fruits. In most versions, while the clafouti bakes, the batter puffs up around the fruit and browns, becoming slightly crusty on the top of the soft, custardy center. In this recipe, however, I use puréed pumpkin mixed into the batter instead of adding chunks of fruit at the end. It makes for a particularly creamy, silken clafouti to which I add some chopped hazelnuts for crunch. This dessert could take the place of a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving; since it's much lighter, your guests will be grateful to see it after the huge turkey dinner. The batter can be made ahead and baked while you eat, or during the football interlude before dessert. I call for a cheese pumpkin in this recipe. It's a thick, fleshy, rather squat pumpkin with very dense flesh. If you can't find one, don't substitute regular pumpkin, which is much too watery. Instead, use butternut or Hubbard squash. In a pinch, you can also substitute canned unsweetened pumpkin purée instead of making your own.

Serving: Makes 8 servings Ingredients  1 4- to 5- pound cheese pumpkin or butternut or Hubbard squash  5 large eggs  3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar  1/2 cup milk  1/2 cup heavy cream  1 teaspoon vanilla extract  1-inch piece of vanilla bean, split lengthwise, pulp scraped  Pinch of salt  1/4 cup all-purpose flour  1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted  1/3 chopped toasted hazelnuts Nutrition Information  Calories: 246  Total Fat: 10 g (16%)  Saturated Fat: 6 g (28%)  Cholesterol: 142 mg (47%)  Sodium: 94 mg (4%)  Total Carbohydrate: 31 g (10%)  Protein: 6 g (12%)  Fiber: 0 g (0%)

349. Souffl of Puff Pastry with OrangeScented Pastry Cream Candied Pecans and Caramel Butter Sauce

Daniel Boulud always had a preference for classic French desserts, so I developed this recipe for the lunch menu when I was at Daniel. The dessert itself is very simple: We bake an undocked, thick round of puff pastry, letting it puff up high, and serve it hot, filled with Orange-Scented Pastry Cream and topped with a buttery caramel sauce and a few Candied Pecans. The puff pastry rounds should be baked à la minute, never ahead of time, though the dough can be rolled out and cut in advance, and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a day. Sometimes the best desserts are the simplest.

Serving: Makes 10 servings Ingredients  1/2 cup (120 g/4.2 oz) heavy cream  Pastry Cream  Finely grated zest of 1 orange  1 1/2 Tbsp (12 g/0.42 oz) cornstarch  2 cups plus 2 Tbsp (500 g/17.6 oz) water  1 cup (225 g/8 oz) firmly packed light brown sugar  1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped  2 Tbsp (30 g/1 oz) unsalted butter  Pinch of salt  1 Tbsp (15 g/0.5 oz) Myers's dark rum  1 1/4 cups (125 g/4.4 oz) pecan halves  1/4 cup (60 g/2.1 oz) water  1/4 cup (50 g/1.76 oz) granulated sugar  Puff Pastry  Confectioners' sugar, for dusting  medium, plain tip (Ateco #6); 3-inch round pastry cutter Eat it!

350. Spiced Madeleines

Spiced cakes, like the warm miniature madeleines served at Aix, in Manhattan, seemed the perfect pairing for the hibiscus tea sorbet and basil and orange ice creams . Unlike the madeleines that Aix pastry chef Jehangir Mehta makes, ours are the traditional size.

SweetCherry Clafouti

Chef Michael Presnal of The Federal Restaurant in Agawam, Massachusett, writes: "The recipe here was featured on one of my first menus as a chef, before I got into the kind of complex cooking I do now at The Federal. That was over ten years ago, but I still love making this dish at home. It calls for just a few fresh ingredients and takes only a couple of steps."

354. Tangerine PieCaramelized Pineapple Turnovers

Just to clarify—there are no tangerines in this recipe and it doesn't look like a pie. But it's still delicious. In Singapore, these turnovers, also known as kuey taht, are a highly prized gift for Chinese New Year. Traditionally, people give away fresh tangerines (tangerine is a homonym for "gold" in Chinese). When Western-style baked goods were introduced, this round was created to resemble the real thing: thus its crackly orange egg yolk wash and clever little clove on top. CHEF'S TIP: Don't eat the cloves. They are only a decorative touch, and biting into one will definitely be a shock to your palate.

Serving: Makes 5 1/2 dozen turnovers Ingredients  2 small pineapples, peeled, cored, and finely diced  1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (6 1/3 ounces/180 grams) crushed palm sugar  1 cinnamon stick  1/8 teaspoon salt  2 cups (10 3/8 ounces/300 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling  1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 3/4 ounces/50 grams) custard powder  1 tablespoon dried milk powder  3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons (6 3/8 ounces/180 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature  2/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces/70 grams) confectioners' sugar  1 teaspoon salt  1 large egg  3 large egg yolks, beaten  66 whole cloves, optional Nutrition Information  Calories: 310  Total Fat: 16 g (24%)  Saturated Fat: 10 g (48%)  Cholesterol: 81 mg (27%)  Sodium: 149 mg (6%)  Total Carbohydrate: 41 g (14%)  Protein: 3 g (6%)  Fiber: 1 g (6%)

357. Thick Vanilla Pastry Cream for Brioche Bretzels

For this use, the pastry cream needs to be thicker and tighter so that it bakes up like a custard. It has extra yolks and a little extra cornstarch to accomplish this. Plus, as my brother explained when he visited San Francisco in 2011, the pastry cream should be warm when it is piped into the bretzels . Make it right before you shape your bretzels and, whatever you do, do not stir the cream to loosen it before transferring it to a pastry bag. This will break the cream and it will not bake properly. For convenience, I've included a complete ingredient list; follow the preceding method. But once it is made, keep the pastry cream in the saucepan or transfer it to a bowl. This will help it stay warm until you need it.

Serving: Makes about 2 cups Ingredients  4 cups half-and-half  1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) plus 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) sugar  1/2 teaspoon sea salt  1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise in half, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  4 large eggs  4 large egg yolks  1/2 cup cornstarch  1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature Nutrition Information  Calories: 241  Total Fat: 13 g (21%)  Saturated Fat: 7 g (37%)  Cholesterol: 156 mg (52%)  Sodium: 139 mg (6%)  Total Carbohydrate: 25 g (8%)  Protein: 5 g (11%)  Fiber: 0 g (0%)

358. Torta Pasqualina

Just don't expect your first pasqualina to look perfect. But it will taste absolutely amazing if you remember three key steps: don't sweat the crust, squeeze every drop of liquid out of the greens, and save your chard stems!

Serving: 8 servings Ingredients  3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour  2 Tbsp. sugar  1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt  1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, chilled in freezer  3 1/2 lb.
