  • Claire Saffitz Makes Walnut Maple Sticky Buns | Dessert Person.
    Is there such a thing as a sweet, sticky, nutty bun that doesn’t put you down for the count? Claire set out to find it! After much testing, this is her ideal sticky bun, a soft, nutty, maple-y swirl scented with cardamom and orange zest. Claire thinks it’s a whole lot better than a giant, overly sweet Cinnabon cinnamon roll, although - ahem - some family members disagree. It’s a family affair this episode!

If I have every ingredient on hand except the cardamom, does that mean that I shouldn't get to try her recipe? I think that logic would deprive a lot of people of this deliciousness.

      There really are two times that you can overproof dough. In the bulk rise (before shaping) if the dough is overproofed the yeast will have expended all their energy and will not give a proper final rise. If the final rise is overproofed there will be too much air in the dough and the oven spring will burst the breads internal structure and the dough will fall and be misshapen.

      Molly, you in danger gurl. But in all seriousness I am completely fine on that. When someone says that to me then I know not to waste money on expensive ingredients or multiple task intensive processes because these people really don't care. And theres no malice to that. Also it won't be appreciated in the reverence that I would have for it so don't do that to myself either. You can always start simple and find ways to improve their palate by experimenting and finding things they do like and go from there. Also hosting swanky dinner parties with like minded chefs is a great way as well! PS All of the dishes you prepared I would kiss the ground you walk on if you prepared that for me. They sounds amazing and delicious!

    I've made these twice already! They're absolutely delicious, one of my favorite things to eat. I don't usually have oranges on hand so I've been using some tangerine zest in place and it tastes wonderful.
    I also tried making it a few days ahead: I made the dough and froze it for a couple days, make the sticky topping and refrigerated it (needed reheating afterwards), and make the sugar and zest mixture and toasted and crushed the walnut and left them in the pantry. After this, I could thaw the dough and assembled and baked it all. Worked very well!
    Another tip: buttering the pan helps to get all the goo and the pecans out of the pan when you flip the buns out!

    So, I am from Hungary and inherited the love for baking from my grandmother. I always wanted to try american and english recipes, they are so different from ours, but most of the time, they failed my expectations. Baked flat brownies, strange pies, fake tasting cakes. But with your recipes they turn out so great! I can't describe, how happy I am to finally experience these kind of desserts too. Omg, your forever brownies, yuuuummm! The taste like I imagined a brownie should. Your baking is so good, it reaches the taste level of somebodies imagination :D I hope it makes some sense :D Thank you Claire from the bottom of my heart!

    • @recoil53
      @recoil53 3 роки тому +2

      Brownies should be all fudgy. They are flat, with no rise unless you are talking about cakey brownies.
      Pies are mostly fruit or fruit mixes that are thickened. The crust should be flakey and not tough - a difficult middle ground. And as Paul Hollywood says no soggy bottoms. Spices are sometimes used, but not always.
      In America at least. Another good source is the Serious Eats website. Stella Parks wrote some excellent articles.

I never knew it was an issue because it always worked out for my other cats, but yeah, definitely not supposed to do that 🤣 She slimmed down surprisingly fast and became a lot more active when I stopped leaving dry food out 24/7.

    She should develop a cookbook that is kid friendly that they can make with adult supervision. ‘Eating with Elliot’ would possibly be a good name for it, if it’s okay with his mom.
    It would teach kids that baking can be fun and rewarding. Also would let them know that breakfast isn’t always cereal and pop tarts.
    On a side note, those cats make make me happy and I feel for her with Felix at the vet. I had to put my cat down almost exactly a year ago, a few weeks before her 23rd bday. As soon as covid is behind us or I get vaccinated, I plan to go adopt another cat. RIP, Maddie.

    Quick side note from a hand mixed dough enthusiast:
    Start by combining the dry ingredients (flour, salt, yeast if you know it's not dead) and sugar together
    Then work the cold butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers
    Once it is decently incorporated add the milk and eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until you can't
    Transfer the dough onto the bench and start kneading with your hand
    It will stick badly but DO NOT add flour hence it will change the hydration of the dough
    Just keep on kneading and you'll notice after 10-15 minutes it will become shiny and won't stick so bad (in the beggining it is easier to slap and fold to avoid stickage)
    Transfer back to bowl and let it rise just as in the recipe.
    Hope it will help someone! Cheers and happy holidays! 🥰🌲

    I've just made this and it's the best thing that I've ever made! It's so soft and pillowy that it felt like I was biting into a cloud, and the caramelized sauce combined with the nutty flavor is just heaven.
    It's my first time making bread and I did not use a machine but it still turns out perfect. My tip is to use a bench scraper when kneading as IT'S EXTREMELY STICKY but you just got to push through and it should form a smooth dough. For the sticky sauce, I don't have maple syrup so I used a mixture of water & golden syrup and it still works!
