To cook autumn song start with cookies. Knead soft and pliable dough of 1 Cup sifted flour (adding it on the tip of a teaspoon of soda), 50 g butter room temperature 50 g mayonnaise 40 grams of sugar. Divide the dough into four parts. To one portion beat in 1-2 teaspoons grated on a fine grater boiled beets, the second grated carrot, in the third - 1 tsp cocoa powder. (The excess liquid from the vegetables pre-press, but without much fanaticism, that the dough could be painted). In the dough with beets and carrots add a bit more flour - it brought the feelings to the consistency of the underlying test.

Then begins the creative process, which can be connected to children. Part of the test subject to plain - of them, we will have Burgundy, brown or yellow-orange leaves. As part of the test generated as colored balls: bringing together the small pieces of dough of different colors and roll them.

From balls detachable pieces and sculpt the autumn leaves, with a thickness of about 4 mm. Great fun to consider what unpredictable color options and patterns obtained from the leaves. Put the cookies on the baking sheet, covered with baking paper. Since this dough during baking keeps the reliefs, to give an even greater affinity with autumn leaves with the back of a small knife you can squeeze veins, to make a likeness of the serrated edges of the leaves. ( As the sample this time I had ivy leaf, painted in bright crimson color)

A beat I made some more mushrooms. ( And a couple of pieces just round cookies basic dough, which had planned to use in the loaf.) To cookies kept the gloss surface before baking it is advisable to grease lightly beaten egg whites. And cookies of yellow color can lubricate the yolk.

Put the pan in a preheated 180 deg. the oven. Don't fall back! Depending on the thickness of the leaves, they will be ready after 10 minutes - 15. Cooled cookies spread on a dish and compare with the originals. Similar. Wouldn't you say? As colorful and unpredictable!

Put cookie on the side and begin to roll. Since then, I came across a recipe of biscuit dough Luke Montersino ( which he uses especially for rolls), then completely forgotten about all the other options - so flawless was the rolls. But since from time to time experimenting with breads, I tried to add to the dough a little Mayo, and was pleasantly surprised! The cake not only has not lost its quality but has become self-sufficient and to taste! ( three baking loaf I made with the addition of a tbsp of mayonnaise Maheev ). Luke Montersino a special technique of kneading the loaf. And if you follow it, the cake turns out amazingly tender and lush, but very elastic. We will need four eggs. Two eggs divided into yolks and whites, and two remain intact. In the yolks beat the 2 whole eggs, add 100 g of sugar, vanilla essence to taste, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise Maheev.

Beat with a mixer for a few minutes at high speed until the volume increases and receiving a lush thick mass of light. Pending 2 protein, with a small pinch of salt begin whisking at low speed with a mixer ( don't forget to pre-wash the beaters of the mixer) until sustainable lush mass, then increase the speed, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue whisking until stable peak.

Pre-sifted flour -80 g ( Luke recommends that you sift twice) and beaten 2 protein introduced into the egg-yolk mixture in three installments: one-third of the flour sift again into the mixture, gently stir with a spatula, then enter the third part of the whipped egg whites. Stir them with a spatula from top to bottom. Then again, part of the flour.. part of proteins. Mix and add a third of flour... and protein... you Should get a soft and airy dough.

Spread the dough on parchment paper covered baking sheet ( I have a 30x40 cm), carefully even out and send in a preheated 180 deg oven for 12-15 min. don't overdo it in the oven! As soon as the cake bakes - just get it. ( you can use a toothpick to check)

Overturn the cake on a towel ( or paper). Gently remove the paper on which the cake was baked ( take the paper at the edges, then it can be removed without problems with a biscuit) and cut off the dried edges. ( The cropping I sent dried in the oven until the croutons. They still need us). Again, turn over the cake and turn it into a roll together with the towel ( as I do with paper)

As the roll is conceived to take the form of a log, do billet of the heart. Melt in a water bath 50 g of chocolate with two tablespoons of milk (you can add another spoon drain. oil). Added crumb cake from dried clippings. ( I added a little crumb of the cookies baked from a basic test) should Not be stuffing too cool!

An expandable sponge. First lay out the core "sticks". For the rest, apply orange marmalade. Though competition is devoted to recipes with mayonnaise, I couldn't do without delicious orange marmalade "Mahe".

Collapsible roll. And send him to the cold. ( In this photo, however the quality of the biscuit. And the fact that we took the trouble to turn twice baked biscuit, allowed us to obtain very smooth and beautiful surface, easy for further work)

While the loaf cools, make the "crust" for the log. 70 ml of milk mixed with 50g of sugar, boil. Add 20g of cocoa powder, stir, remove from heat. Add 3 grams of pre-soaked gelatin. ( I use sheet, plates). Mix thoroughly to dissolve gelatin and allow to cool to room temperature. To the cooled mixture add 70 g of butter (also room temperature), mix with a mixer.

Put the chocolate icing on the cooled loaf. In two parts, with a small intermediate cooling below the layer of "crust" turned out thicker. Make out either with a spoon.

... or like this: using plastic wrap, I"hugged" a roll of baking paper, pre-compressed in the form of bark, and made prints. After a short cooling, the film can be easily removed. Sent our roll-a log for a few hours in the fridge.

Autumn fantasy... For a finishing touch I wanted to make for our "sticks" mushrooms are mushrooms that like to grow on fallen trees. I have used the old molds and made a few pieces. Dough recipe, do not write, because it is out of the competition. But I also have a spoon of mayonnaise "Maheev" added.)))

Left to put the mushrooms on the rolls and compare our "log" with the original. I think this could be it.)))
