Rub the flour and butter together with your fingers to create a breadcrumb-like mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Add the sugar, eggs and baking powder and use a wooden spoon to turn the mixture gently. Make sure you mix all the way down to the bottom and incorporate all of the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Now add half of the milk and keep turning the mixture gently with the spoon to combine. Then add the remaining milk a little at a time and bring everything together to form a very soft, wet dough. (You may not need to add all of the milk.)<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle most of the remaining flour onto a clean work surface. Tip the soft dough out onto the work surface and sprinkle the rest of the flour on top. The mixture will be wet and sticky.<\/p>\n<p>Use your hands to fold the dough in half, then turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat. By folding and turning the mixture in this way (called &#8218;chaffing&#8216;), you incorporate the last of the flour and add air. Do this a few times until you\u2019ve formed a smooth dough. If the mixture becomes too sticky use some extra flour to coat the mixture or your hands to make it more manageable. Be careful not to overwork your dough.<\/p>\n<p>Next roll the dough out: sprinkle flour onto the work surface and the top of the dough, then use the rolling pin to roll up from the middle and then down from the middle. Turn the dough by 90 degrees and continue to roll until it\u2019s about 2.5cm\/1in thick. \u2018Relax\u2019 the dough slightly by lifting the edges and allowing the dough to drop back onto the work surface.<\/p>\n<p>Using a pastry cutter, stamp out rounds from the pastry and place them onto the baking tray. Dip the edge of the pastry cutter in flour to make it easier to cut out the scones without them sticking. Don\u2019t twist the cutter \u2013 just press firmly, then lift it up and push the dough out.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve cut 4 or 5 rounds you can re-work and re-roll the dough to make it easier to cut out the remaining rounds. Any leftover dough can be worked and rolled again, but the resulting scones won\u2019t be as fluffy.<\/p>\n<p>Place the scones on the baking tray and leave them to rest for a few minutes to let the baking powder work. Then use a pastry brush (or your finger if you don\u2019t have a brush) to glaze them with the beaten egg and salt mixture. Be careful to keep the glaze on the top of the scones. (If it runs down the sides it will stop them rising evenly.)<\/p>\n<p>Bake the scones in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until the scones are risen and golden-brown.<\/p>\n<p>Leave the scones to cool, then split in half and add butter, jam and clotted cream to serve.<\/p>\n<p>Rezept: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/food\/recipes\/paul_hollywoods_scones_70005\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/food\/recipes\/paul_hollywoods_scones_70005<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>S1E3: Cob<\/h2>\n<p>Makes 1 loaf<br \/>\nPrep 3 hours<br \/>\nBake 30 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>500g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting<br \/>\n10g salt<br \/>\n10g instant yeast<br \/>\n30g unsalted butter, softened<br \/>\n320ml cool water<br \/>\nOlive oil for kneading<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are a novice baker you can use this recipe to make a basic loaf in a tin, although the quantities here provide more dough than you would need to make a tin loaf.<\/p>\n<p>1. Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl and then add the salt and yeast, making sure they are placed on opposite sides of the bowl. Add the butter and \u00be of the water, turning the mixture around using your fingers. Slowly add more water until all the flour has been incorporated. When the dough is soft and not soggy it is ready. Move the mixture around the bowl to clean the sides until the mixture forms a rough dough.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cover your work surface with a little oil and then begin to knead the dough. Knead for 5 \u2013 10 minutes, working through the wet stage until the dough starts to form a soft, smooth skin and feels silky. Put the dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel. When it has risen to at least double in size and the dough is bouncy and shiny it is ready. This should take at least 1 hour, but can be left for 2 or even 3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>3. Line a baking tray with baking parchment or silicone paper.<\/p>\n<p>4. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball by knocking it inwards several times until all the air is knocked out and the dough is smooth. Then flatten the dough into a rough rectangle and then roll it into an oblong. Turn the dough so that the longer edge is running away from you and flatten it slightly. Now roll the two ends in towards the centre, so you end up with a chunky squarish shape. Turn the dough over so that the join is underneath.<\/p>\n<p>5. Next, using both hands you need to shape the dough into a smooth domed cob. With your palms turned upwards, position your hands on each side and slightly under the dough. Using your hands tuck the dough neatly underneath itself. Continue, softly forcing the sides of the dough down and underneath, creating a smooth, taut top and a rough underside. Try not to add too much extra flour during shaping.<\/p>\n<p>6. The dough is now ready for proving. Place it on your baking tray and place this in a clean plastic bag. Leave to prove for about 1 hour, until it has at least doubled in size and the dough springs back if you prod it gently with your finger. Whilst the dough is proving turn your oven to 230\u00b0C and put a roasting tray in the bottom to heat up.<\/p>\n<p>7. Once ready dust your dough with some flour and then slash deeply with a knife. Add hot water to the hot roasting tray, this will create steam in your oven giving your bread a lighter crust. Put your bread into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until it is cooked and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Leave your cob to cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n<p>Rezept: <a href=\"http:\/\/paulhollywood.com\/recipes\/white-cob\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/paulhollywood.com\/recipes\/white-cob\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S1E4: Lemon Souffle<br \/>\nS1E5: Cornish pasties<\/p>\n<p>S2E1: Coffee and Walnut Battenburg cake<br \/>\nS2E2: Tarte au Citron<br \/>\nS2E3: Focaccia<br \/>\nS2E4: Brandy Snaps<br \/>\nS2E5: miniature pork pies<br \/>\nS2E6: chocolate roulade<br \/>\nS2E7: Iced Fingers<br \/>\nS2E8: Sachertorte<\/p>\n<p>S3E1: Rum Baba<br \/>\nS3E2: eight-strand plaited loaf<br \/>\nS3E3: Treacle Tart<br \/>\nS3E4: Cr\u00e8me Caramel<br \/>\nS3E5: Hand-Raised Pie<br \/>\nS3E6: Queen of Puddings<br \/>\nS3E7: Jam Doughnuts<br \/>\nS3E8: Chocolate Teacakes<br \/>\nS3E9: Fraisier cake<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meine pers\u00f6nliche Herausforderung: alle Kuchen, Brote &amp; Mehlspeisen der technischen Aufgaben von The Great British Bake Off (TGBBO) backen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[144],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6564"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6564"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6564\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6568,"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6564\/revisions\/6568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nueckel.at\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
