M-a lovit azi o pofta nebuna de ceva bun si usor de facut, dar care sa-mi inunde simturile cu aromele copilariei. Primul meu gand a fost cozonacul… insa stim cu totii cat iti ia sa faci un cozonac.. si atunci mi-am amintit ca vazusem undeva o reteta de muffins Panettone si am incercat sa o reproduc din amintiri, insa ce a iesit mi-a intrecut orice asteptari. Un muffins pufos, aromat, plin de mici surprize delicioase si care e perfect pentru micul dejun sau cu o cana de lapte alaturi.

Ingrediente:

• 300g faina
• 100g zahar
• 12g drojdie proaspata
• 130ml lapte
• vanilie
• 1 oua intreg + 1 galbenus
• 100g unt topit si racit
• 1 lingurita coaja de lamaie
• 1 lingurita coaja de portocala
• 40g miez de nuca maruntita
• 20g nuca de cocos
• 20g stafide
• 20g picaturi de ciocolata
• 40g rahat
• 1 ou si nuca de cocos pentru uns si presarat deasupra

E tare simplu de facut. Se cerne faina cu un praf de sare intr-un bol, se face o gropita in mijloc, se adauga drojdia sfaramata si jumatate din cantitatea de lapte, plus o lingura de zahar, apoi se amesteca usor, incorporand si putina faina, astfel incat sa obtineti un aluat moale. Se lasa acest plamadet la crescut 5-10minute. Daca drojdia e proaspata, isi va dubla volumul imediat. Intre timp, laptele se amesteca cu esenta de vanilie si zaharul ramas pentru a-l topi pe acesta din urma. Dupa ce plamadetul a crescut, se adauga laptele, oul+galbenusul si untul topit si se mixeaza pana obtineti un aluat omogen, care face basici. Se adauga coaja de lamaie si cea de portocala si se lasa la dospit 30-40min. Intre timp, se pregatesc celelalte mirodenii: miezul de nuca maruntit, stafidele, rahatul taiat cuburi, picaturile de ciocolata, iar cand aluatul e suficient de dospit se incorporeaza usor in acesta. Se toarna cate o lingura in fiecare forma de muffin si se mai lasa sa creasca inca 30min in forma. Se unge cu ou, se presara nuca de cocos si se coc la 180C pana devin usor aurii. Sunt extraordinar de bune si parfumate si tare rau imi pare ca n-am facut portie dubla, dar nu-i nimic caci e si maine o zi 🙂

Ingredients:

• 300g flour
• 100g sugar
• 12g fresh yeast
• 130ml milk
• vanilla
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 100g butter melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 40g chopped walnuts
• 20g shredded coconut
• 20g raisins
• 20g chocolate drops
• 40g turkish delight
• 1 egg+ shredded coconut to finish the muffins

They’re easy to make. Sift the flour with a dash of salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center, add the fresh yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 75ml of milk. Stir slowly with a spoon incorporating a bit of flour until you get a runny dough. Set aside and allow it to rise for 5-10minutes. Meanwhile, mix the remaining milk with vanilla the rest of the sugar then pour it over the flour. Add the egg + egg yolk and melted butter and mix well. Finally, add the lemon and orange zest and set aside 30-40mins to rise. After the dough has risen, fold in the chopped walnuts, coconut, raisins, chocolate and the turkish delight. Pour one tablespoon of dough in each of your muffin cups and allow them to rise one more time. Brush the muffins with the remaining egg, sprinkle some coconut and bake at 180C until nice and golden. Their scent is lovely, just makes me think about cosy things and brings back childhood memories. Enjoy them!!
