Natural Rainbow Challah #BreadBakers

This natural rainbow challah is colored with spices, fruit and vegetables for a bright and festive look without artificial dyes. It would make a beautiful addition to any party table or weekend brunch. 

Food Lust People Love: This natural rainbow challah is colored with spices, fruit and vegetables for a bright and festive look without artificial dyes. It would make a beautiful addition to any party table or weekend brunch..

Here’s where I suggest, right up at the top, that if you plan to make this bread on the day you want to eat it, you will want to make your natural dyes a day ahead of time. None of this is hard to do but it is time consuming. 

Also, this would be a great project for Easter because you end up with way more dye than you need for this bread and it could be used up dying eggs the old fashioned way. I felt really bad tipping it all out when I was done, without another use for it. 

Natural Rainbow Challah

The inspiration for this challah was a post on the blog What Jew Wanna Eat and the recipe itself is a combo of that post and Joan Nathan’s favorite challah on New York Times Cooking. 
 
Ingredients
For the food coloring:
Pink - 1 small beet (about 3 oz or 85g)
Orange – 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground annatto aka achiote
Yellow – 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
Green – 1 cup, packed, or 85g spinach leaves
Purple – 1 cup or 140g fresh or frozen blueberries 
Blue – unused cooked blueberry juice from purple + 1 teaspoon baking soda

For challah dough:
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
3/4 cups or 80ml warm water 
1/2 cup or 100g sugar
1/4 cup or 60ml canola or other light oil, plus more for dough bowls
1/4 cup or 60ml honey 
2 large eggs +1 egg white  (Save that 1 egg yolk for glazing)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 cups or 625g bread flour, plus more as needed for kneading

Method
First, we’ll make the dye colors.

For the pink, boil your beet in just enough water to cover until tender. When it’s cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to push the peels off. Blend it in small food processor until smooth. Set aside to cool completely. 

Blending the beet

For the green dye, simmer the spinach leaves or greens with a little bit of water in a covered skillet until they completely wilted. Blend in small food processor until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.

Blending the spinach

For the purple, simmer the fresh or frozen blueberries in 2 tablespoons water in a covered pot until they fall apart. Cool, drain, and reserve the liquid.

Cooking the blueberries

We'll make the blue out of the purple once we've used it to color one ball of dough by adding the baking soda to the balance. 

Now, make your challah dough. Prepare the yeast in a large mixing bowl for a stand mixer by whisking it with warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Leave it for a few minutes to activate the yeast. It should bubble up and get foamy. This means your yeast is live. 

Beat the oil and honey into the foamy yeast mixture. 

Adding the oil and honey

Add in the two eggs, one at a time, beating with each addition, then add the egg white. 

Adding the eggs, one at a time

Beat in the remaining sugar and salt. 

Adding the balance of the sugar and the salt

Gradually add flour beating with each addition. As the dough gets thicker, you might need to change to the bread hook. 

Adding the first amount of flour

When dough holds together and isn't too sticky, you are ready to start adding your natural dyes.

The finished plain dough

Divide your dough into six even pieces. I used a food scale to weigh them out. The dough weighed 1162g so each ball was approximately 94g.

Flatten out each piece one at a time (keep the others covered) and put some of each of the homemade food coloring in the middle of each one.  Fold the dough over the dye and pop it back in your stand mixer with the bread hook. Knead until the dye is thoroughly mixed in. 

I started with the easy ones that didn't add liquid, the annatto and turmeric! 

Adding the annatto to the dough ball



Add a little more flour or dye as needed. I had to hand knead some of mine as well to get the colors well mixed. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl and cover lightly with cling film. 

Repeat with the four more dough balls, making a yellow one with the turmeric and adding a little flour as needed for the pink, green and purple dyes. 

Once you've colored the purple ball, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the blueberry juice. This will turn it a dark indigo blue. Color the final ball of dough with some of this and knead to incorporate it as you did with the others. 

The blue ball!



Put the six dough balls in lightly oiled bowls and cover them with cling film. Leave them to rise in a warm place until they have at least doubled in size, about 1 hour. 

To form the rainbow challah, roll the colored balls into long tubes. 

All six colored dough balls rolled into tubes

Now braid and tuck by following these instructions here on the King Arthur Flour YouTube channel: How to braid a six-strand challah. They make the process much clearer than I ever could with words so I'm not even going to try to confuse you!

Leave your challah to rise again on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet, lightly covered, until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. 

My latest wintertime trick is to heat a couple of inches of water to boiling in a bowl in the microwave. I open it quickly and set my baking pan on top, closing the door again swiftly. This creates a moist, warm environment for the dough to rise in.  Works like a charm as long as no one else needs the microwave for an hour or so.

When the challah is almost finished rising, preheat your oven to 350° F or 180°C. 

Whisk the egg yolk with 1/2 tablespoon water and generously brush the mixture over the challah.

Brushing on the egg wash

Bake for 40-45 minutes in your preheated oven, rotating the pan halfway through. If it starts to brown too fast, make a foil tent to cover it. It’s done when the internal temperature reaches 190°F or 88°C.

Coffee Ice Cream Bundtlettes #BundtBakers

With just four ingredients you can turn coffee ice cream into these delicious Coffee Ice Cream Bundtlettes. Or use your favorite flavor.

Food Lust People Love: With just four ingredients you can turn coffee ice cream into these delicious Coffee Ice Cream Bundtlettes. Or use your favorite flavor.

Since it’s so dang hot outside, it’s a challenge to serve ice cream firm so for this month’s Bundt Bakers, we are making the best of melted ice cream and turning it into cake!

I’ve made homemade ice cream in the past so I know it often starts with a custard, which means it’s made with eggs and milk and butter. But before our Bundt Bakers host proposed this theme, I had never really considered that those ingredients are a shortcut to cake batter. 

A little googling revealed a plethora of cake recipes made with melted ice cream! Who knew? Most of them called for two ingredients: ice cream and cake mix. Not that I have anything against cake mix but we all know that when one of your ingredients is cake mix, that’s kind of cheating on the whole two ingredient thing since cake mix is just paying someone else to measure out flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, etc. 

Fortunately there were also quite a few recipes made from scratch! Seriously google it. So many melted ice cream cakes! Now you know what to do next time the freezer quits on you. Or it's just summertime.

Coffee Ice Cream Bundlettes

This cake can be made with any flavor of ice cream you have on hand, as long as it is full cream and not low fat or non-fat. This is cake, after all! This recipe is adapted from one on Hebbar’s Kitchen

Ingredients
2 cups or 370g full cream coffee ice cream
1 1/2 cups or 190g flour, plus a little extra for the pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Butter, to grease the pan

Optional for decoration and extra coffee flavor:  
1/2 cup or 90g espresso chips

Optional to serve: 6 scoops of coffee ice cream 

Method
Set your oven to preheat at 350°F or 180°C and prepare your Bundtlette pan by buttering and flouring it. Set it aside. (As you will see in photos to come, I used my mini 6 1/2 cup Nordic Ware Classic Bundtlette pan that makes six small Bundt cakes.)

In a large mixing bowl, use your stand mixer or electric beaters to beat the ice cream briefly. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt. 


Beat until thoroughly mixed to form a thick batter without any little lumps. 


Spoon the batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the top. 


Bake the bundtlettes in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean. (If you use one larger capacity Bundt pan, your cake could take a bit longer to bake.) 


Leave to cool in the pan for about five minutes, then loosen the sides of the little bundtlettes with your wooden skewer and turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. 

Food Lust People Love: With just four ingredients you can turn coffee ice cream into these delicious Coffee Ice Cream Bundtlettes. Or use your favorite flavor.

When the little cakes are cool, melt the espresso chips in a microwave-safe vessel with a couple of quick zaps in the microwave. I do 10 seconds, then stir. Another 10 seconds, then stir. Depending on your microwave you may need a few seconds more.

Drizzle the melted chips or use a piping bag to decorate the cooled cakes.

I served these with a scoop of coffee ice cream on top! You might want to do the same. No pictures of that because it was late and dark after dinner. Sorry!

Amaretto Sour Mocktails

Nicely tart, these Amaretto sour mocktails are made with pineapple, maraschino cherry and lemon juice. They are deliciously refreshing on a hot summer day. 

Food Lust People Love: Nicely tart, these Amaretto sour mocktails are made with pineapple, maraschino cherry and lemon juice. They are deliciously refreshing on a hot summer day.

I have this funny thing with raw eggs. I have absolutely no problem with eating them in cookie dough or cake batter (who doesn’t want to lick the chocolate cake beaters?!) but I draw the line in cocktails. That just seems a little too raw and risky for me. 

I know, I know, according to the CDC, the risk of salmonella is exactly the same so that’s why I bought pasteurized liquid egg whites for this recipe. I suggest you do the same, just to be safe. And you should probably buy pasteurized eggs if you want to eat cookie dough. No one wants salmonella. 

But everybody’s going to want one of these mocktails as soon as you turn the blender on! 

Amaretto Sour Mocktails

The average volume of one large egg white is 2 tablespoons or 30ml. You will need only one tablespoon to make two mocktails. This recipe is adapted from one I found in the BBC Good Food magazine along with some tips from bartender Jeffrey Morganthaler.

Ingredients - for 2 Amaretto Sour Mocktails
1/2 cup or 120ml pineapple juice
1/4 cup or 60ml fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon egg white
10ml syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries
1 tablespoon simple syrup
2-3 drops almond extract
1 small shake Angostura bitters

To garnish: 1 lemon slice and 2 maraschino cherries

Method
Use a sharp knife to cut one nice slice out of a lemon and then cut the slice in half. Juice the rest of the lemon. 

Using a sharp cocktail stick, pierce the lemon peel on one side, slide a cherry onto the stick and then pierce the other side of the lemon peel to create the garnish. 


Put all the drink ingredients into a blender and pulse until well combined, pale in color and fluffy on the top.

If your blender is powerful enough, add 5-6 ice cubes and pulse again to chill the mocktail. If not, put the concoction in a cocktail shaker with the ice and shake until chilled. 

Strain out the ice and divide the mocktail between two glasses and garnish them with the lemon-cherry cocktail sticks.

Cheerios Banana Muffins #MuffinMonday

Cheerios Banana Muffins are made with crushed Cheerios or, I suppose, their store-brand equivalent and sweet ripe bananas. Bake a batch for someone you love. 

Food Lust People Love: Cheerios Banana Muffins are made with crushed Cheerios or, I suppose, their store-brand equivalent and sweet ripe bananas. Bake a batch for someone you love.

Almost every morning, my father has a bowl of Cheerios with fruit and yogurt (also wheat bran!) which is a very healthy breakfast and possibly the reason he has made it to the great age of 85 years old. It certainly doesn’t hurt. 

When he was planning to visit last year I bought a box in readiness and then COVID hit and the trip was canceled. For 15 months that box has languished in my pantry until finally I couldn’t take it anymore. It had to be opened and used!

I started looking for recipes with Cheerios and was surprised by how many there are. Who knew? It occurs to me that they would also work great in Uncle Hector’s 100 Cookies so a batch of those is next on the to-be-baked list.

This is touted on the Cheerios website as the perfect breakfast on the go since it already has cereal baked right in. I cannot disagree. Equally, these muffins make a great snack for your tea or coffee break. 

Cheerios Banana Muffins

This recipe is adapted from the one on the actual Cheerios website. They want you to put a whole cup of raisins as well but I knew that wouldn’t be popular at my house because, and I quote my younger daughter, people like plain things. Raisins do not qualify. 

Ingredients
2 cups or 54g Cheerios cereal, plus a little extra for decoration
1 1/4 cups or 156g all-purpose flour
1/2 cup or 100g packed brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 medium very ripe bananas (about 195g, peeled weight)
2/3 cup or 156ml milk
3 tablespoons canola or other light oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg

Method
Preheat your oven to 400°F or 200°C.  Prepare a 12-cup regular-size muffin pan by greasing the cups or lining them with paper muffin liners.

Crush the cereal with a rolling pin in a Ziploc bag or with a small food processor until fairly fine. One comment on another blog that shared a similar recipe said that the muffins were gritty because the Cheerios weren’t crushed finely enough so I did mine in the food processor. No one wants gritty muffins.

In large bowl, whisk together the Cheerios crumbs, flour, brown sugar and baking powder and salt. 


In another mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. 


Add in the milk, oil, vanilla and egg. Whisk till well combined. 


Pour the wet ingredients in the dry and fold just until moistened. 


Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle with a few Cheerios for decoration, if desired.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

I must confess that while they look fun and are crunchy when first baked, the Cheerios on top got chewy after a day in an airtight container. My husband didn’t mind them. My younger daughter picked them off. You do you. The important thing is that everyone liked the muffins themselves!

Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls #BreadBakers

Made one day and baked the next morning, these Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls are the perfect breakfast at home or on the go.  

Food Lust People Love: Made one day and baked the next morning, these Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls are the perfect breakfast at home or on the go.

I had a very different kind of breakfast bread planned for this event but for the first time in a very long time, much to my disappointment, the recipe was a complete failure. Honestly, I’m not sure where I went wrong. 

Fortunately, these guys came out so good that I ate two back to back. I’m not kidding! Smoked sausage in sourdough crescent rolls may be my new favorite breakfast.

Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls

This recipe is adapted from An Italian in my Kitchen. Use your favorite cooked sausage in the rolls. Mine is smoked jalapeño sausage. 

Ingredients
3 tablespoons unfed sourdough starter (discard) 
1/4 cup or 60ml lukewarm milk, plus extra for a milk wash before baking 
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup or 125g all purpose flour plus more for rolling out the dough 
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 cooked sausages (I used smoked jalapeño ones.)

Method
In the mixing bowl add half of the flour, the sourdough starter, milk, sugar and yeast. Whisk until combined. 


Next add the melted butter, egg yolk and beat again.


Sift in the rest of the flour and the salt. 


Knead until smooth and elastic. This is quite a sticky dough but resist the urge to add too much flour. When dough is really sticky, I use a scraper to stretch it out on a clean countertop. 


Then use the scraper again to fold it over onto itself. 


And over again. 


Repeat those three steps until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 7-10 minutes. 

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Line a baking pan with baking parchment or a silicone liner. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle about 13 inches or 33 cm. Cut the circle into 8 triangles.


Place one sausage at the wide end, then roll up each triangle. Wet the point of the triangle with a little water if it doesn't want to stick. 


Place the sausage stuffed rolls on your prepared baking pan. Cover the rolls with greased cling film and put the rolls in the refrigerator to rise for 12-24 hours.  

Food Lust People Love: Made one day and baked the next morning, these Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls are the perfect breakfast at home or on the go.

In the morning or whenever you are ready to bake, remove the crescent rolls from the refrigerator and set them aside to warm up for about an hour. When they are almost room temperature, preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C. 

Brush the rolls with a little milk. 

Food Lust People Love: Made one day and baked the next morning, these Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls are the perfect breakfast at home or on the go.

Bake the stuffed crescent rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden. 

Remove them from the pan and set on a wire rack to cool. 

Food Lust People Love: Made one day and baked the next morning, these Sausage Stuffed Sourdough Crescent Rolls are the perfect breakfast at home or on the go.

We love them with mustard but you can eat these lovely sausage rolls just as they are as well.

Sparkling Strawberry Lemon Cocktail

Lightly sweetened homemade strawberry vodka is the main ingredient of this sparkling strawberry lemon cocktail, refreshingly cold, perfect for summer!

Food Lust People Love: Lightly sweetened homemade strawberry vodka is the main ingredient of this sparkling strawberry lemon cocktail, refreshingly cold, perfect for summer!

More than a month ago I shared the how-to instructions for making simple strawberry vodka so I hope you all got right on that! If so, you are ready to make this cocktail today. 

If not, what are you waiting for? It’s one of the easiest ways of preserving the flavor of sweet summer strawberries to enjoy all year round. 

Sparkling Strawberry Lemon Cocktail

I am not a fan of the flavored vodkas you can buy in the stores because they always taste artificial to me but if you are a fan, feel free to use one in this cocktail. You’ll need to add a little simple syrup as well though, if your store-bought strawberry vodka isn’t sweetened. Most are not. 

Ingredients
1/2 oz or 15ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 1/2 oz or 75ml club soda
Curled lemon peel or strawberry for garnish (optional)

Method
Fill a cocktail shaker 2/3 full with ice cubes. Add in the strawberry vodka and lemon juice. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds.

Fill a glass with ice. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass. Top up with club soda and stir gently.

Cream Cheese Coffee Muffins #MuffinMonday

Cream cheese coffee muffins are made with espresso granules for great coffee flavor but even better, they have espresso morsels, my new favorite chip!

Food Lust People Love: Cream cheese coffee muffins are made with espresso granules for great coffee flavor but even better, they have espresso morsels, my new favorite chip! These muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack time treat. Serve them with a cup of coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk.

During most of the pandemic, my only outing was a once-a-week trip to the grocery store. Sometimes it was a quick get-in get-out and no one gets hurt sortie. Other weeks, I took my time and really looked at the options on the shelves. It was one of those second times that I found the Nestlé Tollhouse espresso morsels. 

Maybe they’ve been around a while but they were new to me. I love coffee so how could a coffee chip be anything but good? I’m here to report that they are fabulous! The package says, and I quote: Made with real coffee, no preservatives, no artificial flavors or colors. 

They have the texture of semi-sweet chocolate chips but are full-on coffee flavor instead! If you love coffee, you are going to love these too. 

Cream Cheese Coffee Muffins 

These muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack time treat. Serve them with a cup of coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk.

Ingredients
2 cups or 250g flour
3/4 cup or 150g sugar
2 teaspoons instant espresso granules
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup or 170g espresso morsels
2 eggs, at room temperature
8 oz or 227g cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup or 180ml milk

Method
Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by lining it with paper muffin liners.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, espresso granules, baking powder and salt together. Set aside 24 espresso morsels and add the rest of them to the dry ingredients and stir to coat the morsels with flour. 


Whisk the eggs in a large bowl then add the cream cheese. Use a whisk to chop the cream cheese into smaller pieces then whisk until smooth and creamy. 


Add in the milk and whisk again to combine. 


Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. 


Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Top with the reserved coffee morsels.


Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until golden and well-risen.
