Hello Friends,

I am back with ma special sweet bun recipe. Yeah, it's ma first time. And as you can see it turned out to be great. Isn't it? Well it tasted great too 😋

Today evening I had some spare time in my hands so thought of using it and try some delicious food. 

When I opened my fridge, found a unused package of dry yeast. That's when a thought of making these delicious sweet braid buns came to ma mind.

Quickly wore my apron and collected the required ingredients and got started with ma dish.

Here goes my recipe of Sweet Braid Buns....

Ingredients
2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ cup warm milk
½ cup water
1 tbsp dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
½ cup chopped dry fruits
½ cup melted white chocolate
2 tbsp grated dry coconut
2 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp suger
Milk for brushing

Method

To prepare dough
In water, add dry yeast and sugar. Mix well untill sugar and yeast dissolves. Place a lid on the bowl and allow yeast to activate for 10mins.

In meantime, grab the all purpose flour and add whole wheat flour to it. Add warm milk to it. Now, take the activated yeast and add it to the flour. Knead it proper with light hands. 

Cover the dough and place it aside for half hour. It will raise double from it's original size.

To prepare stuffing
Heat a pan, add ghee to it. Add dry fruits to it. Let it fry till golden brown. Add dry coconut and sugar next. Now off the stove. After 5mins add melted white chocolate to it. Mix well. Let it cool for some time.

Grab our dough and divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll it into a ball. Spread the ball to flat with hands. With help of knife make cuts for braid. Now place the stuffing in center. Place strips overlapping each other in form of braid.

Prepare all of them. Brush the braid with milk. Let's bake them for 10mins.


Our Sweet Braid Buns are ready to eat. I enjoyed them a lot with rain. 



Happy Cooking!!

Chocolate loved by all and can solve all sorts of problems isn't it?

Few days back, it was my birthday and I thought of giving surprise treat to all my office colleges. After thinking for hours of what can be done I came to a conclusion: Chocolate Truffles. 

Why chocolate truffles? Mainly due to two reasons. Firstly, chocolate is loved by all and over here in my city we don't find bakery selling Chocolate Truffles so definitely everyone was going to be amazed. Secondly, I had never tried these colorful treats so new experience and new recipe to be added to the list.

Here goes my Chocolate Truffles recipe...

2 cup All purpose flour
1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder

2 tbsp Coco powder
1 cup warm milk
1 cup water
1 cup Choco chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cream
1 cup melted Dark Chocolate
1/2 cup melted white chocolate

Method

Mix the dry ingredients first. In another bowl, add butter, milk, vanilla extract and mix well. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Pour this batter to the tray and bake it just like the normal Chocolate cake base. Once ready, let it cool.
