Eggless Sfogliatelle Frolle Food

EGGLESS SFOGLIATELLE FROLLE

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cold butter into cubes.
• 2. In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar.
• 3. Add the cubed butter and rub with your palms to incorporate the butter into the flour.
• 4. Take the flour butter mixture in your hands and lift it up the bowl and rub. This way you get air inside the mixture and the crust will be flaky.
• 5. Leave some pea sized chunks of butter while rubbing.
• 6. Add cold water and bring the dough together. Let the dough be crumbly and not smooth.
• 7. Divide it into two parts with one portion larger than the other.
• 8. Place them into cling wraps, cover and refrigerate until firm.
• 1. In a pan, mix together milk and sugar.
• 2. Bring it to boil.
• 3. Add semolina in a continuous stream keepin flame low.
• 4. Keep on stirring until the mixture becomes very thick and leaves the sides of the pan.
• 5. Pour this on a plate and allow it to cool completely.
• 6. In a jar of food processor, take ricotta, cooled semolina mixture, zest of one orange and cream. Run the processor until smooth.
• 7. Now remove the blade, add vanilla essence, chocolate chips and tutti frutti and mix well.
• 8. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate.
• Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll a portion into a rough rectangle.
• Place a ball of filling on the lower half.
• Bring the side of rectangle over the filling and press it.
• With a circular cutter, cut out a circle. The remaining dough from all the circles will make one more frolle.
• Arrange on a baking tray and refrigerate for 2 hours. I had some extra pie crust, so another 3..
• After baking it until golden, dust with icing sugar.
• Enjoy!!!!

SFOGLIATELLA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, the semolina flour and salt. Use your fingers to work the butter into the dough until it forms pea-like balls. Alternatively, sift the dry ingredients into the food processor and pulse the butter into the mixture until it is blended and relatively smooth. Work the water in with your fingers (or in the mixer). Turn the dough out onto a flat surface and roll it into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and press it down. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer. Whisk in the semolina flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If it forms lumps as it cooks, whisk until smooth. Transfer the milk and flour mixture to a bowl to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ricotta, the egg, sugar. Add the candied orange and lemon bits and sift a dusting of cinnamon over the surface. Stir to blend. Taste for seasoning and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide in half. Flour a flat surface and roll 1 of the halves into a rectangle about 14 inches by 24 inches. The shorter end of the rectangle should be close to you. The dough should feel very thin. The thinner the better! Brush the entire rectangle with a layer of the shortening. Sprinkle it with an even dusting of confectioners sugar. Gently and evenly roll it up into itself like a jelly sponge roll. Roll carefully, taking care that it rolls up very tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Repeat the same process with the other half of the dough.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put 1 of the dough rounds in your hand and, with the other hand, press your thumb into the middle of your other hand (and, therefore, into the dough) and start to stretch the dough. You don t want to push so much that you make a cavity just yet. First, concentrate on making the dough round bigger and flatter. When it is about the size of a large clam shell, start to smooth and push down in the middle so it forms a cavity a lot like a large clam shell. You want to finish with a cone with an opening of about 3 inches and the smaller, tapered end about 1-inch. Brush a little shortening on the dough and turn it inside out, cupping the dough cone between the length of your index finger and thumb. Carefully spoon 2 large spoonfuls of the filling into the cone. The cone should be fairly filled and go to the edges of the opening with a thin layer of the filling. Close the mouth by carefully folding the cone opening over itself. The same as if you had 2 halves of a clam shell and were closing it up. Gently press the edges of the opening, together. Arrange on a nonstick baking sheet. Repeat with all of the dough, until both of the baking sheets are filled. Brush each with the egg wash.
• Put the trays in the center of the oven and bake until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to rest a few minutes on the baking sheet.
• After the Sfogliatella have rested for a few minutes, sprinkle them with another dusting of confectioners' sugar and put each baking sheet squarely under the broiler. Do not walk away! Stay there and watch as the sugar slowly browns the top. If the layer of sugar was light and you want to make it a little browner, repeat with another dusting of sugar and another minute under the broiler. Allow them to rest a few minutes, then transfer them to a serving platter, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

SFOGLIATELLA

Steps:

• For the dough: Mix the bread flour and 1 cup water in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer with a hook attachment until firm. Take the dough out of the bowl, completely wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour.
• Press the dough as thin as possible with a rolling pin. Apply oil to the surfaces and roll the dough into a salami-shaped roll about 3 inches thick. When done, wrap in plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator overnight.
• For the filling: Put 4 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add the semolina and mix until thoroughly firm and cooked. When the semolina is cool, put in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer and add the cinnamon oil. Mix at speed 2 and add the eggs one at a time. Add the ricotta and custard cream and mix thoroughly. Add the sugar, little by little while mixing thoroughly. If mixture is still extremely firm, add a couple more eggs.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the "salami roll" into 1/4-inch discs. Each disc should be smoothed out between your palms. Using an ice cream scooper, fill the middle of the disc with filling and fold over into the shape of a clam shell. Put on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 1 hour.

THE ELEGANT EGGLESS OMELET!

Steps:

• Place flour, nutritional yeast flakes, baking powder, salt, and turmeric in a medium bowl, stir with a whisk until well combined. Pour in the milk and oil, stirring well with the whisk to make a smooth batter. Let rest 5-10 minutes, then stir again.
• Oil a 9" or 10" nonstick skillet, or mist with cooking spray. Place over medium hot heat. Pour in 1/3 cup of batter. Immediately tilt and rotate the skillet to distribute the batter evenly and creat a 5"-6" circle Cook until the top is completely dry, the bottom is deep golden and the edges start to curl up slightly.
• Carefully loosen the omelet with a spatula and gently turn it over. Cook the second side until it also is deep golden and flecked with brown. Slide the finished omelet ou of the skillet onto a plate. Cook the remaining omelets in the same way.
• Adjust the heat as necccessary during cooking, and always add a layer of oil to the skillet before cooking each omelet, to prevent from sticking.
• Stack the cookd omelets, one on top of another, on the plate.
• To serve, fold the omelets in half(most attractive side out), or stuff the omelets with your favorite filling before folding them. Enjoy!
