Tilla's Buns

Thursday, 15. May 2008, 04:40:52

I got my hands on some free apples the other day. I ate some of them, and tried to figure out what to do with the rest.

I used some of them for muffins (check recipe here). I know the recipe is for carrot muffins, but replace the carrots with grated apples and add extra cinnamon and you'll have the most delicious apple muffins!

There were still apples left. Why not try to make apple buns?

Here is the recipe - I made it up myself.

Tilla's Recipe Service (TRS) proudly presents:

Tilla's Own Buns

6 dl luke warm water (20.2 fl. Oz)
50 g yeast (1.8 Oz)
2 peeled grated apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 dl whole grain wheat flour (half a cupful)
Wheat flour until the dough is doughy (I don't know excactly how much I used)

Dissolve the yeast into the water. Add apples, cinnamon, salt and the whole grain flour. Knead in as much ordinary wheat flour you need to have a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough into a bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

Punch it down and shape it into buns, let them rise again for half an hour. Then bake them for 20 minutes at 200 C (392 F).

I promise you, they are very delicious!

I'll admit they don't look particularly appetising but it sounds like there's no way they can taste anything less than wonderful.

:etc:

@ Darko ~ Your mom should have taught you not to speak with food in your mouth!

@ Moe ~ I just had one for breakfast, and it's yummy!

I expect the :etc:-smiley will come on the list of smileys next time!

By attilasoul, # 15. May 2008, 05:45:35

I always use :etc: when I can't think of any more smilies

But yes, hopefully there will be an :etc: smiley soon.

By Moesring, # 15. May 2008, 05:47:30

I'm hungry now

Morning lumpy buns.

By Furie, # 15. May 2008, 07:57:34

That sounds really yummy! I love apple/cinnamon

.
I'm so impressed that you just made up that recipe on your own! I could never do that...

@ Kimmie ~ hopefully you had a nice breakfast, like mine.

@ Mik ~ Morning Hungryface

@ Rose ~ I just thought that applebuns could be an idea, and since I love the apple/cinnamon-taste, well, then I thought I wanted to experiment a bit.

@ Cois ~ Hey, not so hard! You'll crush them!

@ Darko ~

Yummy - got to get something to eat

mmmmm nice buns 'Tilla..

I hope you got yourself something good, Stomyr!

Thank you Henry. I think they are pretty good myself too.

Hey 'Tilla..

We have grabbed your recipe... and the muffin recipe as well...i'll let you know how we get on. I have never used fresh apple in buns before, have used dried fruits..

..and tend to use oil with our muffins.
....Yaaay dinner time....
The family thank you as i do....

By AOTEAROAnz, # 19. May 2008, 04:59:48

Thank you Henry, I'll be looking forward to hearing how it went. Fresh apples are good in both bread and cakes. It makes it possible to reduce the amount of oil/butter/fat, and you still have bakery that isn't dry in any way. And the taste... mmmmmm!

By attilasoul, # 19. May 2008, 05:38:17

...we were able to convert most of the measurements to metric and cups, but were wondering what 'dl' was..?

By AOTEAROAnz, # 19. May 2008, 07:44:04

I tried to translate it into Oz in the recipes - look at the parentheses after the ingredients. I don't know what you measure for instance water in?

By attilasoul, # 19. May 2008, 08:10:44

I think that when Tilla writes 6 dl, she means 6 decilitres = 600 millilitres. I know that here in the UK it is common to measure in litres and millilitres but centilitres and decilitres are not often used except in maths questions.

On a side note, I'm not an expert on imperial measurements but I thought "ounces" are only used to measure solids and "fluid ounces" (fl oz.) are used to measure liquids.

By Moesring, # 19. May 2008, 08:20:34

I am glad to know someone as wise as you, Moe!

You're right, dl = decilitres, which is common to use in recipes here.

But... isn't my "translation" into "oz" correct, then?

By attilasoul, # 19. May 2008, 08:29:35

It is - but the unit should be "fl oz." not "oz" as far as I know. (As you have undoubtedly noticed by now, I refused to use such abominations as AFAIK

)

Of course, giving the units purely in metric alleviates the problem anyway

By Moesring, # 19. May 2008, 08:32:26

I corrected it in this recipe, thank you Moe.

So - in the future it's better to write fx 600 millilitres? Will everybody understand how much it is then, no matter what continent they live in?

By attilasoul, # 19. May 2008, 08:47:11

I would use whatever units you are happy with, Tilla. At the end of the day, most people should be able to convert from one unit to another (Google is good for this). As long as people know that "dl" = "decilitres" they can convert it into their own preferred units (such as 6 decilitres = 0.6 litres or 6 decilitres = 20.2 fl oz)

By Moesring, # 19. May 2008, 08:53:36

Hey thanks 'Tilla, cheers Moe..
