Coulant and coulant with white chocolate filling

The "normal" coulant is a small sponge cake with a really tasty hot chocolate filling. I want to tell you how to do this one and other more special, with whit chocolate filling.


Coulant's recipe:
 Ingredients for 5 units, 3 of black chocolate and 2 filling of white chocolate.
 Confectionary Chocolate  200gr
 Butter 200gr
 Flour  80gr
 Eggs 4unds
 Sugar 80gr

For the filling of white chocolate:
White chocolate 100gr
Butter 50gr
Yolk egg 1unid
Flour  20gr

Put the chocolate and the butter to the bain-marie until it melts. While separate the whites of the yolks and mount the whites. To mount the whites of egg they must be cold, when the whites are almost whisked add 20gr of the sugar.

In a bowl put the yolks and the rest of the sugar and move to mix everything. When the chocolate is warm add it to the yolks. Do not add if it is hot or the yolks get set. Add the flour sifted  and move to mix well. Next add the whisked whites, in order that they keep its texture it is necessary to to mix with a spoon, little by little, with slow movements.

The next step is preheat the oven to 180ºC and prepare the baking pans: smear them with butter and then sprinkle flour into them.

With the mass prepared before fill 3 bakings pans to ¾ , and fill other 2 to 1/2.

To prepare the white chocolate filling,  melt this one with the butter using the bain-marie. Take away it from the fire and wait until it is warm. Add the flour sifted and the yolk of egg. Put this filling it in a piping pan and "inject" it in the middle of the mass of the bakings pan that are full to the half.

With the baking pans ready you have two options: do them at once putting them in the oven or freeze them. If you freeze them you only have to put them directly in oven without defrosting when you want to eat them.

Hornear es el único punto “complicado”. Hay que hacerlos de manera que queden hechos por fuera pero líquidos por dentro. Para ello cuando los veamos hecho por fuera vamos pinchando con un palo  y este debe salir manchado de chocolate mientras que los bordes se deben haber despegado del molde. Si tienes invitados siempre puedes hacer uno o dos de más por si acaso lo sacas antes.

Baking is the only "complicated" point. It is necessary to keep an eye on them so that they remain made externally but with liquid filling. To get that when they seem cooking you have to prick them with a stick and check that the filling is liquid. If you have guests at home I advise you to prepare one on proof.

As soon as they are ready remove them from the pan and put them on a plate. You will see what a surprise when your guests take the first spoonful. Also you can do like I and present them with the chocolate already going out.

 I hope you like them!

Cinnamon Rolls

Today recipe needs some time to be made because the mass should rest until the yeast has acted. There are other recipes that use the baking powder, which does not need to rest. But I prefer this one because is the original one.

Ingredients:
The units come in cups, every cup has 200ml.

MASS
 Strong flour/bread flour  5 cups
 Sugar white 1/2cup
 Milk             1cup
 Eggs            2unids
 Butter / margarine 1/3cup
 Salt               1 teaspoon
 Dried yeast   8gr

FILLING 
Butter / margarine       1/3cup

Brown sugar      1cup
Ground cinnamon       5tablespoon
           

Beat the eggs and put them in a big bowl.  Melt the butter, warm the milk and add all the ingredients of the mass in the bowl. Knead all the ingredients up to obtaining a homogeneous mass, like bread mass. If we see that it is necessary add more flour. Leave the mass ferments until it doubles its size, more or less an hour, depending on the temperature of the kitchen, the ideal temperature it is 25º-28ºC. If the temperature is not the suitable one there is a trick: preheat the oven at 40ºC. Then put the mass inside and turn off the oven. Leave the mass there 20-30minutes.

All this process can be simplified if we have a bread machine. Put all the ingredients of the mass in the bread machine remembering that the milk must be warmed and the butter melted. Select the program just to knead the mass. I have the Clatronic BBA 3364 and the program is 8. It spends, in the whole process, 1hour 30minutes.

Once we have the mass ready,  flour the surface where we are going to work. Extend the mass of rectangular form until it has an approximate size of 45x55cm.

 

Extend the butter for the whole mass. If we see that it is not enough we can use more.

In a bowl mix the cinnamon and the brown sugar. Spreads them over the butter. As before, there is no problem in using more if we see that we do not have for the whole mass.

 

Roll up the mass and cut it. The size must be one or two cm, depending on the size that we want them. Cut them with a good knife in order not to squash the mass. I have used a knife of bread.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. While we put in a tray oven paper and put the rolls in it. They must be separated enough because they grow very much. Put them to the oven during approximately 20 minutes (the time depends according to the oven, the first time that you make them, take care to see the time that they spend on be ready).

These are the original Cinnamon rolls!!! They can be eaten alone, but if you want it is possible to put on them chocolate toppins or glazed,  or everything you want.
