Proudly presenting: super soft Babka muffins in 6 different flavors because I couldn't decide, which one to make for a regular sized Babka-challah fusion sweet bread. So I turned them into small batch muffins to try! Realized all flavors are good and muffins are actually a good way to eat them, so I gotta stick to this. 😊🧁 Flavors: - matcha custard (see my matcha spread) - mixed berry (jam, frozen berries, some flour and heated) + salt - cinnamon-brown sugar, in oil+ some salt - ube jam (store bought) - toasted almonds, salted roasted pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and maple syrup, mixed and heated - classic chopped dark and milk chocolate with a pinch of cinnamon, butter and salt They are soft, not too sweet and are so pretty and fun to make!! This will be my new to go recipe! Dough for 12 muffins: 1) 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted in 1/4 cup whole milk + 1/4 cup water. Set aside. 2) 2 tsp dry yeast in 4-5 Tbsp warm water dissolving for 5 mins. Set aside. 3) beat 1 large egg at room temperature. 4) 2 1/3 scooped, then levelled cups all-purpose flour, + 1/2 tsp salt +4-5 tbsp sugar (it is not too sweet, so sweetness come mainly from filling!) 5) sift dry ingredients, add milk, yeast, eggs while stirring in one direction with a chopstick until combined, add 1 tbsp flours at a time until just not sticking to the bowl and knead for 15-20 mins, until not sticking to your hands. 6) rise covered for at least 2h (3 in my case because cold), should double. 7) knead air out and divide in 12 balls, roll rectangular, fill, roll or fold and cut the log in the middle vertically 8) face fillings upwards and braid, coil and ruck the end in the middle 9) rest for 20-30 mins in pan and preheat oven to 375, they should rise in the oiled muffin tin 10) bake for 17 mins, brush milk on top immediately! And let it cool completely before taking out! I will play around and try to make a healthier version as well :) #dessert #baking #muffins #babka #selbstgemacht #backen #lecker #challah #homemade #delicious #ube #matcha #berry #almonds #cranberry #chocolate #cinnamon #braidedbun #braidedbread #foodphotography #banhngot #ケーキ #マッフィン #甘いパン #甘い #美味しい #家庭料理 #パン #ケーキ作り #パン作り
