Christmas Recipes Pretzel Buns Well, technically this is a recipe for soft pretzels. I got it from a friend of mine, eons ago. Ran into his recipe today and decided it was time to give them a try. They were a huge hit! But pretzels? I dunno. The point is though that they tasted like a pretzel but were really more like pretzel buns. They’re highly addictive when eaten with peanut butter. Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 slightly heaping tsp instant yeast 2/3 cup water 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt (1/4 would have been better) 1/3 cup water 1 tbsp baking soda kosher salt or coarse sea salt Directions: Start by combining the yeast and sugar. Add 2/3 cup warm water and let the machine spin for a while or let it just sit in a bowl for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 a tsp salt (I think I’ll go for 1/4 tsp next time) and let the machine spin for a while. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, put a little oil on top as well, cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size.
Nutella Ice Cream This is, by far, the best ice cream I’ve made. And it’s among the easiest — just a couple of ingredients, very little effort, and the best, chocolate-y, most decadent result. If you’re not familiar with nutella, check in the grocery store where you find the peanut butter — you’ll probably find it. And when you do, take the jar, bring it home (pay for it first), spread a tablespoon or two on a piece of bread, and taste. Swoon. Repeat. Then make this ice cream. Nutella is, quite frankly, one of the best culinary creations out there — a mixture of chocolate and hazelnuts that almost defies words. It was the inspiration behind my flourless chocolate hazelnut cake, and now this. Nutella Ice Cream INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup nutella 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 cup milk 1 tbsp vodka DIRECTIONS Beat together the nutella, sugar, heavy cream, milk and vodka until blended evenly. Makes about 2 cups.
