Textured smooth, soft and slightly sweet, the ensaymada is a Filipino-style brioche that makes perfect snacks. They can be easily heated to enjoy at any time of the day. This recipe is very easy and most of the time is spent waiting for the dough to expand. But the results are truly worth the time. This produces a batch of ensaymada dough that can produce up to 14 pieces of ensaymada length. You can freeze half of the boiled mixture for up to one month, melt it in the refrigerator overnight and form it for baking.
Hello! I really wanted to write this post since the beginning of this week because I couldn't wait to share this recipe. But you know, blog tasks around here come in installments. I write blog posts usually around 4-5 in the morning, because that's when I was least interested by my two girls. I like the brief moments of peace and quiet that I can sit and write.
By the way, last week was a nice time for me because I got this warm, soft and soft home made ensaymada. To have it homemade is always my dream!
FIRST PART: THE SPONGE
SECOND PART: THE DOUGH
FOR THE EGG WASH
FOR THE TOPPING
unsalted butter softened, for brushing the top
granulated sugar for sprinkling
MAKE THE SPONGE
Heavy duty mixer in the bowl, Add the yeast, milk, egg and 1 cup all purpose flour. Mix with a rubber spatula just until combined. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of top mixture if to cover mixture. Let this stand for about 40-45 minutes. There will be a crack on the flour at this point.
MAKE THE DOUGH
Add the sugar, salt, eggs and 1 cup of bowl with the yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, run the heavy duty mixer on low speed for about a minute, until the mixture is just about incorporated. Add the mixer in medium speed for the remaining half cup and run. Continue to beat, scraping the bowl as needed, for about 15-20 minutes. You will know when it is ready if it is coming together, and also attaches itself to the dough hook. You should see the side of the bowl, like it is almost violently throwing itself to the sides white it still clings and rotating with the dough hook. You should also hear the slapping sounds. (If you don't see the slapping minutes into the mixing, sprinkle about 2-3 pounds of flour to the bowl. Continue to beat until you reach the slapping stage, giving the dough a total of about 15-20 minutes. in the mixer).
Now add the butter bit by bit. Make sure that the butter is in room temperature, but it's not warm or oily. It should be pretty soft and malleable. It helps to enclose the butter inside a wax paper, press it down using your thumb or a rolling pin to give it a malleable consistency. When you add the butter, the dough will fall apart again for a moment. Continue to beat until you hear the slapping sounds again. This should take about 5 minutes or so. The dough is now, once again, the clinging together in the center and the dough hook with the slapping sound. Dough is sticky but shiny at this point.
FIRST RISE:
Place the ball of dough into a greased bowl and cover with a plastic wrap. Let stand in room temperature until the size is doubled, about 2 hours.
SECOND RISE:
After the dough has doubled in size. Just like the deflating it but very gently. Don't punch the dough down.) Cover the bowl again with a plastic wrap. and chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. The dough will double in size again.
