Chapter 525: Michelin-starred afternoon tea

Donuts can be said to be the world's most flavored desserts, vanilla, chocolate, all fruit flavors, cheese, milk, peanuts, sesame seeds have chocolate, there is no taste that cannot be combined with doughnuts, and even in some countries in Southeast Asia, there are three special salty flavors such as Thai red curry, foie gras cheese, honey ham and other three special savory doughnuts, in the United States, there are Valentine's Fruit nacho chip doughnuts, Japan has takoyaki flavor doughnuts, Italy has milk chicken flavor and cheese chicken flavor, In a cooler region like Sweden, it's not uncommon to find vegetable and chicken doughnuts or black tea doughnuts, and it's a pointless argument to decide which one tastes best.

However, there is a recognized classic flavor, which is to drizzle chocolate sauce on the fried bagels, which is undoubtedly the representative of the grandmaster, and if you like, sprinkle with a layer of powdered sugar like a galaxy.

Batisian said angrily: "You still haven't changed at all, so you don't plan to try other flavors?" There's a meat floss veggie style that's crispy and intersecting, and I think you'll love it. ”

Roman Monet shook his head and vetoed: "No, I just want the most ordinary chocolate donuts, and they are the best." ”

Battisan snorted, turned to look at Sikong Yao, and asked, "I guess you must have suffered these days, this guy is probably always disgusted with this and that, and everything he eats has the most classic taste, and he is very picky, right?" ”

Sikong Yao felt deeply, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, he still complained about an English muffin this morning. It is said that only French muffins can be called muffins. ”

Batisian smiled and said, "I knew this guy was like this." ”

Roman Monet, who was counted down, rolled his eyes helplessly on the side, he didn't dare to annoy Batisian, there would be no doughnuts to eat if he didn't do it, but he still did this kind of thing to be angry with Sikong Yao, and asked: "Then yours, you should tell me your choice, so that I can see your taste." ”

"Cut, as long as it's a doughnut made by Sister Battisian. All of them are delicious. Where is there anything classic or not, I will listen to Sister Batisian, you can arrange it. ”

Sikong Yao gave this question to Battisian, in fact, Sikong Yao really didn't care what flavor of doughnuts she would eat. It would have been a Michelin-starred dessert anyway. As long as you have a heart of awe for learning. Which one is the same.

The taste boss Kong Yao didn't have much chance, sweet and sour were acceptable, anyway, at least Batisian wouldn't be able to come up with mustard-flavored sashimi doughnuts. If that's the case, it's definitely going to turn the other cheek.

Batisian nodded, and then asked, "What about the drink?" ”

Roman Monet kept his usual approach and said: "The best companion with doughnuts is naturally black tea, I want Assam black tea, you will definitely not have it here." ”

When it comes to Assam, it is likely to remind people of a milk tea, but this black tea from India is quite famous internationally, and Assam tea near sea level is famous for its thickness, intensity, malty aroma, and clear and bright.

Historically, Assam was the second commercial tea-producing region after China. ”

Batisian said angrily, "You're not having any fun at all. ”

Sikong Yao said: "I want milk tea." ”

"Okay." Batisian nodded, and then finished his meal with a few clicks on an instrument attached to the coffee table.

Sikong Yao said suspiciously: "Huh? Sister Batisian, didn't you participate in the production yourself? ”

Batisian smiled and said: "Spare me, I have to make tens of thousands of donuts a day, I'm going crazy, it's rare to say that there are guests who come to entertain me, so I can run out and rest for a while, you just let me stop." ”

Sikong Yao stuck out her tongue and apologized, "I'm sorry. ”

Batisian shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's been a long time since I've sat down to enjoy a pleasant afternoon tea time, I've almost forgotten this feeling, you guys are really instant." ”

Roman Monet said with some puzzlement: "You are not in the baking room, so who is cooking?" ”

"It's great that my daughter, who is also quite an amazing pastry chef, is willing to inherit the shop, and I'm going to announce my retirement in a few years," Battisian explains. ”

Sikong Yao nodded, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Well, it's time to walk around, it's not the same thing to always hold back work, you have to see how wonderful the world is." ”

Battisian smiled, "Yes, but also to appreciate the cuisine of various parts of the world." ”

"Haha, that's not it, if it weren't for food, I wouldn't have come all the way to Canada." Sikong Yao also sighed deeply that for those who love to eat, traveling is just to enjoy the food of various places.

Batisian quipped, "You know what? A while ago, there was a professor in England, who seemed to be a lecturer in mathematics at Sheffield University, who used the calculus formula to discover the secret of the deliciousness of doughnuts. ”

Roman Monet said incredulously: "Can this be calculated? ”

Battisian nodded, "Well, she calculated that the perfect donut should be between 72 mm and 82 mm in diameter, and the optimal diameter of the middle round hole is 11 mm, so that the 'soft crisp ratio' of the doughnut can reach 3.5 to 1 of gold." For those who like a softer taste, you can make the hole in the middle smaller; And those who like to eat crispy shells should open the hole wider. ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "That's simply the realm of molecular cuisine." ”

Battisian nodded: "No, she also calculated that the best amount of icing to wrap a doughnut is 5.8 grams, my God, do you have to use a micrometer to measure a dessert, how can something made like that be delicious?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded, cooking is definitely not something that can be standardized. Even if you get a recipe for a dish, sometimes you can't do it exactly as you want, and the most important ingredient in the recipe is the mind, and the only thing you can make is delicious if you want to bring happiness to the diners.

The doughnut recipe is not complicated, to put it bluntly, it is kneaded together, cut into strips, rolled into rounds, and then fried, but if you want to make a Michelin-starred doughnut, you can't be so casual.

The first ingredients to prepare are 200g of high powder, 9g of dry yeast powder, 2g of salt, 130cc of milk, 53g of high powder, 8g of milk powder, 21g of egg, 2g of salt, 31g of sugar, 4cc of milk, and 30g of cream.

Mix the high flour and yeast powder with milk and knead it evenly until the dough is shiny and non-sticky, and it takes 90 minutes for the dough to rise for the first time.

After the dough has risen, add the rest of the ingredients except the cream, continue to stir well, then turn the oven to 38 degrees and put the dough in.

Of course, it's not baking right away, it's not delicious at 38 degrees, it's not much different from holding it with your hands, it's for the second proofing of the bread crust, and it's important to put a bowl of boiling water to create a warm and humid environment.

After half an hour of proofing, you can add the last remaining cream to the bread crust, knead until the dough is stretched up and gluten and shiny, and then you can use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thickness of about 1.5cm, without even the slightest deviation, which is quite a torturous step, and finally the dough has to be wrapped in plastic wrap and let it relax for 15 minutes.

The taste of the doughnut is derived from this, as long as the relaxation is completed, the rest is very simple, take out the circle with a mold, put it in hot oil about 180 degrees, fry one side for 30 seconds, then turn over and continue to fry until both sides are golden brown, drain the oil, and then add your favorite ingredients to make a moving doughnut.

Even though taste preferences are ever-changing, there is no doubt that most people love chocolate, and the doughnut drizzled with chocolate sauce is undoubtedly the grandmaster representative of the doughnut, but the doughnut prepared by Batisian for Sikong Yao is not inferior at all.

One is a lace doughnut with strawberry pulp, the pale pink powdered sugar is definitely not small for girls, and the addition of strawberry pulp is also quite interesting, the slightly frozen strawberry sour sweetness and doughnut combination is wonderful, plus a cup of warm milk tea, life already feels extremely satisfying.

The other doughnut is much more detailed, the whole doughnut is soaked in cocoa sauce, and then the thin white chocolate outlines a very elegant assembly line ripples, which is classic and a little more popular.

Sikong Yao and Roman Monet were both contented to enjoy the Michelin-starred afternoon tea, not to mention how touched they were, just fried bagels, can be so delicious, I really have to sigh at the colorful world of desserts.

Batisian himself asked for a doughnut of rainbow beans, and enjoyed a cup of warm black tea to relieve the fatigue of a long day's work, and he was very happy.

Sikong Yao sighed: "This is a Michelin-starred dessert, it's so good." ”

Although it was not made by Batisian himself, he was able to take it out and sell it to customers, but since it was made by Batisian's daughter, it must not be too bad.

Turning his head slightly, Sikong Yao looked at the photo on the wall and sighed, "If only I could participate in the pastry master competition when I can." ”

Batisian also looked at the photo full of memories on the wall, and he was also very nostalgic, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiang Sikong Yao instead: "There seems to be an international dessert exchange event near here recently, do you want to try it?" (To be continued......)
