TWD - Brioche Sandwich Buns

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Brioche Sandwich Buns. A rich brioche dough is formed into buns for your favourite sandwich filling.

Here’s a peek at the crumb:

The buns have nice browned crusty tops, the way I like my bread rolls.

I made one of my buns into a chicken and salad sandwich:

TWD - Coffee Shortbread

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Coffee Shortbread. As well as being flavoured with coffee, this shortbread contains cardamom and lemon zest.

The shortbread is easy and quick to make in a round cake tin, and is very tasty.

TWD - Tender Biscuits

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Tender Biscuits.

In Australia, we’d call these scones - and they are seriously good ones. I had mine with apricot jam and cheese.

The secret to these biscuits is that they contain yoghurt, which makes them tangy and light.

TWD - Rugelach with Four Fillings

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Rugelach with Four Fillings. I made a half batch with one filling.

I chose the cream cheese, apricot ham and chocolate chip filling.

I found the dough a little challenging to work with, but the resulting biscuits are delicious.

TWD - Orange Spice Cake

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Orange Spice Cake. This cake is made in an unusual fashion by adding eggs to fragrant orange sugar, and adding melted butter after that.

There is an optional marmalade glaze - who am I kidding, a glaze is not optional! It makes the cake pretty and shiny and adds moisture and flavour.

I really love the crusty outside of this cake - like a yummy biscuit.

TWD - Maple Walnut Tart

 

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Maple Walnut Tart.

I couldn’t be bothered trying to make pastry in the heat, so I filled a store bought pie crust with the filling.

It turned out beautifully- such a delicious tart, even my mum liked it.

TWD - Tarte Tatin

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Tarte Tatin. Dorie makes this version with tart dough rather than puff pastry.

This dessert was tasty, but I found that the caramel made the pastry a bit soggy by the time I came to eat it. I think that puff pastry holds up better.

It is very hot weather here, so working with pastry is challenging.
