𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞: 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐦 1 large egg 1 tablespoon water All-purpose flour, for dusting 1 puff pastry sheet, defrosted according to the package instructions 8 ounces brie cheese 2 to 3 tablespoons pepper jam or jelly, plus more for serving Crackers, crostini, crudites, or sliced apples for serving Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until combined. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Lay out the puff pastry dough and lightly flour the top. Gently roll out the pastry dough into a 10- to 11-inch square, rotating and flipping it and dusting it with more flour as needed. Brush off any excess flour with a pastry brush. Transfer the dough square to the sheet pan and place the brie in the middle. (If your cheese is a wedge shape rather than a round, cut off enough of a piece that you can form a makeshift square by pressing the two parts together.) Top the cheese with the jam, spreading it all the way to the edges and letting some spill over the sides. Fold each corner of the puff pastry over the brie, using the egg wash to seal the last corner. Brush the entire exterior of the pastry with the egg wash. Bake for about 25 minutes until the pastry is golden and slightly puffy. Let cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes.

☀️There’s no easier (or sunnier!) app than this brie baked in puff pastry and topped with sweet jam. Ingredients ½ tbsp oil for brushing 1 wheel (8 oz.) brie cheese 2 pkgs (13.2 oz.) refrigerated puff pastry sheets ¼ cup prepared mixed berry jam ¼ cup butter, melted 1 pkg (0.75 oz) fresh rosemary Directions Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and brush the Large Round Stone with oil. Trim the rind off the top of the brie. Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto the stone. Place the brie in the center of the sheet. Spoon the jam on top of the brie. Brush the dough with melted butter. Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and place it on top, turning the sheet so the long and short sides are alternating. Press the sheets of dough together and gently push out any air around the brie. Poke holes with a fork or knife in the top of the crust covering the brie to vent. Using a knife or pizza cutter, trim the edges of the pastry around the stone to create a circle. Use the scraps to make extra twists and place them on a baking sheet. Cut the circle of dough into 16 strips, starting at the edges and leaving ½" (1 cm) around the brie. Twist each strip. Place a sprig of rosemary on each twist (or every other twist) and one in the center. Brush all of the dough with butter. Bake the extra twists for 16–18 minutes, and the brie for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown. To serve, cut the top off the center of the pastry and tear the twists off to dip into the cheese. Yield: 8 servings Cook's Tips: Use your favorite fruit jellies, jams, or preserves. Strawberry, fig, and apple butter work great! You can make this recipe a day before. Prepare as directed up to step 8, then refrigerate the dough. Let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes and bake as directed. #Luvz2cook4u #MyPcKitchen #ilovewhatido #letsgetcooking

HOW TO MAKE CHOUX To make choux pastry, start by combining 1 cup of water, ½ cup of unsalted butter, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring continuously until a smooth ball forms and pulls away from the pan sides. This creates a dough known as "panade." Allow it to cool slightly before incorporating 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing until the dough is smooth and glossy. Once your choux pastry is ready, transfer it to a piping bag and pipe mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to ensure proper puffing. Once cooled, fill with cream or custard as desired muhammad anas Faisal Akbar Politeknik Pariwisata Makassar #CULINARYARTS #skugenk24

Easy Apple Strudel. Sweet and cinnamony apples, woven into golden brown, flaky puff pastry. The apples are tender, the pastry is crisp and feathery, and the whole thing is dusted with crunchy sugar. https://lnkd.in/g_6K7cP Serves 4 to 6 INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon butter 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Mackintosh), cored and thinly sliced (see note above) 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling over the strudel 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon cornstarch Flour or powdered sugar for dusting the work surface (about 1 tablespoon) 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed according to package directions 1 egg 1 tablespoon water INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until they soften, stirring frequently. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cinnamon and toss to coat. Cook for 1 more minute. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat the apples. Remove the pan from the heat. Lightly dust your work surface with flour or powdered sugar. Roll the puff pastry out on the surface until you have a 12x15-inch rectangle. Spoon the apples on the shorter (12-inch) end, covering about 1/3 of the bottom of the pastry, to within 1-inch of edges. Roll up the pastry tightly, jelly roll style. Transfer the strudel to the prepared pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the mixture all over the strudel. Sprinkle sugar all over the top of the strudel. Make several slits in the surface of the strudel (to allow steam to escape during cooking). Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing.
