Description
As it turned out, I like pastries with pepper. So by this recipe (from oxana-sh LJ) could not pass. The original recipe for Pepper Cakes (Gateaux au Poivre) it is adapted from Bernard Clayton's "The Breads of France". Bernard Clayton borrowed it from a Baker Roger Rebolledo from the French region of Limoux. I must say, the recipe is very "male". The optimal combination of salt and pepper. Harnesses are good in and of themselves, to beer and some wines, and soups, According to Clayton, no need to wait for the perfect form at their first baking; not much time will pass before they will. I have almost happened, and I allow myself to share them with chefs, the best will be reserved for men, and the best - Pickle Mayonnaise for the support of our "Stuff".
Ingredients
-
Flour
2.5 cup
-
Water
0.66 cup
-
Salt
1 tsp
-
Yeast
1 tsp
-
Black pepper
2 tsp

Butter

Chicken egg

Cooking
Knead the dough. Shiver bred in warm water 40-46 S. Pepper grind to get quite large pieces. Mix the pepper, salt, 1,5 Cup flour, butter room temperature, yeast. Add remaining flour, knead the dough several minutes until smooth. The dough is quite stiff, it is better to knead by hand, not mixer.
Divide the dough into several pieces. In the original 8 parts, I divided by 16. Cover it with foil. In job to start up from 2 pieces. Give the piece a cylindrical shape and begin to slowly roll with your palms in a thin harness. Not in a hurry, leave the first tourniquet to relax and take a second, then leave the second and take the first, and so in turn. Harness can easily be broken, but connecting it will be very difficult. Roll out a rope with a thick pencil. I have every piece turned a rope with a length of about 80 cm Clayton recommends that you roll out all 8 pieces, but I didn't have such a large working surface.
Twist the 2 harness together, leave for 1-2 minutes to lie down. Then cut twisted rope with a length of 15-20 cm as a result of Clayton should get 48 cookies double harness. I turned 32, we will continue to work :)
Connect each end of the harness; the consistency will not allow you to connect them together, nothing to worry about. Lubricated with mixture of egg and water, sprinkle with pepper, spread on a baking sheet and sent without proofing in pre-heated to 215 With the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Here a biscuit is obtained. Fantastically fragrant!
