Cheese and Pesto Fantails

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 15:06:33 +0000

These Cheese and Pesto Fantails are delightful, savory pastries with a great flavor combination and a visually stunning presentation. They are ideal as appetizers, snacks, or even a side dish for meals. They are versatile and easy to prepare, making them a crowd-pleaser for parties, gatherings, or casual meals. The savory combination of cheese and pesto in this unique pastry form is sure to impress.

These pastries are made with layers of soft dough shapedinto a fan shape, giving them their distinct “fantail” appearance. Inside, the dough is generously spread with vibrant, green pesto sauce, which provides an herby, garlicky base with a hint of nuttiness.

The pesto is complemented by cheese, like mozzarella or cheddar, which melts beautifully, giving the fantails a gooey, cheesy center. As they bake, the fantails develop a golden, crisp exterior while the pesto and cheese meld together into a deliciously aromatic filling. The combination of crunchy layers and soft, cheesy goodness makes each bite a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

How to make Cheese and Pesto Fantails

Begin by adding yeast, sugar, and warm water to a large bowl. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Next, add flour, salt, milk, egg, and melted butter to the bowl. Stir to combine and knead the dough for 5-8 minutes until it becomes soft and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size. This step is important for the fantails to become fluffy and light.

Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with a bit of oil. This will give your fantails a nice crisp edge and prevent them from sticking.

How to shape the fantails

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into two equal pieces on a floured surface.

Roll one half into a 12-inch (30cm) square. Now, spread half of your pesto evenly over the dough. For extra flavor, use homemade pesto made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil. Next, sprinkle half of your shredded cheese—mozzarella, cheddar, or even Gruyère work well—over the pesto. A pinch of salt and pepper at this stage enhances the flavors even more.

To shape the fantails, cut the dough into 6 even strips. Stack the strips on top of each other, then cut them into 6 equal pieces. Place them into the muffin cups.

Repeat the same process with the second half of the dough, pesto, and cheese. Gently separate the layers of each piece, creating that signature fan shape.

Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let them rise for about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the fantails for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. After baking, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them firm up and develop a perfect texture.

Now they’re ready to enjoy, crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, with the bold flavor of pesto in every bite.

Easy No-Knead Focaccia

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 13:22:13 +0000

This Easy No-Knead Focaccia is a simple, yet flavorful bread that requires minimal effort and delivers excellent results. This recipe is perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a hands-off baking experience.

The dough is made from just a few basic ingredients: flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil. Instead of kneading, the dough undergoes a slow fermentation process, which allows the gluten to develop naturally over time. This method will result in a soft, airy, and chewy texture, with a slightly crispy crust.

I topped this focaccia with olive oil, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt. Feel free to experiment with other toppings like olives, garlic, or different herbs to make it your own!

Bake until golden brown, and you’ll have a delicious, homemade focaccia that pairs perfectly with soups, salads, or as a base for sandwiches. It’s a fuss-free, crowd-pleasing bread, perfect for any occasion.

How to make no-knead focaccia

Begin by activating the yeast in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. After 5 minutes, mix in the flour, salt, 1 ⅔ cups (400 ml) of room-temperature water, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Gently stir until everything is well combined. The dough will be wet and sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Perform three sets of stretch and folds at 30-minute intervals. Wet your hands, stretch the dough upward, fold it toward the center, and rotate the bowl 90 degrees. Repeat this process for all four sides.

If you’d like, you can also incorporate the coil fold technique. With wet hands, gently lift the dough from the center and let the ends fold under themselves as the dough coils. Turn the bowl 90 degrees and repeat. This technique adds structure without overhandling the dough.

After the third set, lightly oil the dough, cover, and refrigerate for 12 hours or up to 2 days.

How to bake the focaccia

When ready, grease a 9×13 inch (23-x33cm) pan with olive oil, transfer the dough into it, and let it relax for 5 minutes. Gently stretch the dough towards the edges of the pan. Cover and let it rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Drizzle olive oil over the dough, dimple the surface with your fingertips. The dimples will help trap the oil and any toppings you add. Now, add your favorite toppings like cherry tomatoes, red onion, rosemary, and flaky sea salt. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and crispy. Once baked, allow the focaccia to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Hope you will try it out and enjoy your homemade focaccia! If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

Calories 289kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

4 cups (500g) bread flour or all-purpose flour
1 tsp (4g) active dry yeast
2 tbsp (30ml) water to activate the yeast
2 tsp (10g) salt
2 tbsp (30g) olive oil
1 ⅔ cup (400ml) water

Instructions

Prepare the dough.

In a large bowl, add the active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Let it rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Add the flour, salt, 1 ⅔ cups (400 ml) water, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix with a spatula until everything is well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, perform the first set of stretch and folds.
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Grab one side of the dough, gently stretch it upward, then fold it over toward the center. Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and repeat the process on the next side. Continue this for all four sides of the dough. (you’ll make a total of 4 stretches and folds)
Let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.
Repeat the stretch and fold process two more times at 30-minute intervals, for a total of 3 sets.
Alternatively, after the first round of stretch and folds, you can use the coil fold technique: Wet your hands, gently lift the dough from the middle, and let the ends fold under themselves as the dough coils into the bowl. Turn the bowl 90 degrees and repeat the same motion. This technique adds structure to the dough without overhandling it.
After the final set of folds (either stretch and fold or coil fold), spray the dough lightly with oil to keep it from drying out.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours up to 2 days.

How to bake the focaccia.

Grease a 9×13 inch (23x33cm) pan generously with olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
Carefully turn the dough out into the prepared pan. Gently shape it into a rough rectangle without pressing too hard to preserve the dough’s airiness. Let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes, allowing it to relax.
After resting, use your oiled fingers to gently stretch the dough towards the edges of the pan. Work from the center outward, being careful not to deflate the dough. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for a few more minutes and try again.
Once the dough is spread to the edges, cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, allowing it to rise and fill the pan. The dough should become puffy and soft during this time.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough.
Using your fingertips, press into the dough to create dimples all over the surface.
Now, add your favorite toppings. In this case, top the dough with halved cherry tomatoes, slices of red onion, fresh rosemary sprigs, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Bake the focaccia for about 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Optional: After baking, drizzle a little more olive oil over the focaccia for extra richness and shine.
Allow the focaccia to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures the bottom stays crisp and doesn’t become soggy.

Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 14:11:31 +0000

These Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a delightful and healthy appetizer or snack option, perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings. Enjoy these zucchini chips on their own, or pair them with your favorite dip for an extra treat. They are a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet without compromising on flavor or texture.

These chips begin with fresh zucchini, sliced into thin rounds to ensure an even, crispy texture. Each slice is first dredged in flour, which helps the next layers adhere better, creating a perfect base for that extra crunch. Following the flour coating, the zucchini slices are dipped into beaten eggs and then coated into a breadcrumb and cornmeal mixture.

The combination of breadcrumbs and cornmeal is enhanced with a touch of oregano and a pinch of salt, adding a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch with every bite. Once the zucchini slices are thoroughly coated, they are arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring even cooking.

Baking these chips in the oven not only makes them healthier than their fried counterparts but also allows the zucchini to cook through while the exterior becomes perfectly golden and crispy.

How to make crispy baked zucchini chips

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil and set it aside. Next, cut the zucchini into ¼ inch (6mm) thick rounds and sprinkle them with salt. Allow the slices to sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture.

In the meantime, beat the eggs in a deep plate. Prepare another plate with flour, and a third plate with a mixture of breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, and oregano.

Take each zucchini slice, dredge it in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with olive oil and bake for 17-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve immediately with Greek Tzatziki Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Hope you will try these amazing baked zucchini chips. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turned out for you. Enjoy!
