I recently received a 25 Kg bag of Pasini Millebolle panettone flour, and this was the first test. The panettone is a simple variation on my usual formula, meant to evoke a Danish pastry with pecan and apple. I added cardamom in addition to vanilla bean, plus a variety of inclusions totaling approximately the weight of flour in the recipe.
A Chai Blackberry pie. A bit rough around the edges but better than I usually do. Tasting still to come.
Trying to beat Ilya who always has an interesting post of his lovely hamantaschen every year.
The ones at the back are gluten free (almond and tapioca) whilst those at the front are more traditional and have a yeasted dough made with cake flour and a little bit of lemon zest from a Ukranian recipe.
I decided to scrap the idea of making pain suisse-based flatbread. The idea was cutting out disks of pain suisse, and bake them the millefeuille way. But too much leftover dough after the cutouts were taken. So, nope.
This flatbread is inspired by a dish of my homeland. It's called kering tempe. It's basically caked soybean, fermented by Rhizopus oligosporus mould, crispy fried, and then cooked in palm-sugar-based savory spiced syrup, meant to be eaten with rice. Think of praline, but using tempe and also savory.

The bake went pretty much verbatim to Ian's blog instructions. I am happy with the outcome. I used rehydrated onion for my topping.
Formula revision:
*After many bakes, it is clear that cutting in cold butter is unnecessary. For this application melted butter is just fine.
Here is my contribution to the latest community bake. It is Adjaruli Khachapuri. The recipe I used was from Chainbaker https://www.chainbaker.com/khachapuri/
For once I more or less followed the recipe. My dough was a little soft, so I added half a scoop of WW atta to firm it up a little.
Also I split the dough into 2 medium and one small bread as I think just 2 breads would be rather large.
The breads were rich but tasty. We had the small one cold as a snack the day after and it was still nice cold.
