Sweet Boule Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of bread dough and the sweetness of cookie dough. Start with 180g of strong flour, 10g of sugar, 3g of salt, 25g of butter (no salt), 1 egg yolk, 120g of milk (including the egg yolk), and 3g of dry yeast for the bread dough. For the cookie dough, you'll need 40g of butter (no salt), 40g of sugar, 40g of whole egg, an appropriate amount of vanilla paste, and 40g of light flour. Mix all ingredients in your home bakery for the bread dough, let it ferment, and then divide it into 6 equal parts.
Ingredients for Bread Dough:
- 180g strong flour
- 10g sugar
- 3g salt
- 25g butter (no salt)
- 1 egg yolk
- 120g milk (including egg yolk)
- 3g dry yeast
Ingredients for Cookie Dough:
- 40g butter (no salt)
- 40g sugar
- 40g whole egg
- Appropriate amount of vanilla paste
- 40g light flour
Preparation Steps:
1. Bread Dough:
- Mix all ingredients in your home bakery and let it ferment.
- Once fermentation is done, divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
- Roll each part into a ball, ensuring tight seams.
- Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Use your oven's fermentation function at 40℃ for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 200℃.
- While preheating, place your baking sheet in a plastic bag to keep it moist.
- After fermentation, bake at 190℃ for 15 minutes.
- If your oven doesn't bake evenly, rotate the baking sheet halfway through.
2. Cookie Dough:
- Bring the butter and eggs to room temperature.
- Mix the sugar, whole egg, vanilla oil, and soft flour.
- Add the soft flour last, being careful not to overmix.
- If the dough sags (common in hot weather), refrigerate it until just before the second fermentation of the bread dough.
Tips:
- Baked bread is best fresh, but if you want to eat it the next day, toast it in the toaster for 2-3 minutes to restore its crispiness.
- For the cookie dough, use a round nozzle (about 6-8 mm) and a piping bag. If you're new to it, cover the piping bag with a cup to make it easier.
