Start by combining flour, sugar and salt together. Mix with a spatula. Add boiling water and slowly incorporatenow microwave some cold milk for 30 seconds. add yeast and mix. pour into the flour and water mixture. add eggs and mix. the dough should be very sticky. DO NOT add more flour. Rest for 20 mins with a lid onafter you have rested add oil. Oil should make the dough no sticky. Knead the dough until the oil in incorporated and it is sticky again. Cover and rest for 1 hour.after one hour, punch the dough with floured hands until you have let most of the air out. It should be about the size of the dough before resting. Now, split into three pieces. flour a surface and roll it out. fold both ways in. then, smooth side down, roll it out with a pin. With your hands, roll it into a roll ( sorry, is this confusing?) and place into a prepared bread tin. This is optional. If you want to just place all the pieces into the bread tin. but doing that will help the bread have more layers and fluffiness. rest in bread tin for 1 hour.now, make your egg wash by combing all ingredients and mixi with a whisk. using a brush bush a thin layer on. cook at 190C for 30 mins. take out and cool for 5 mins..

My tiramisu cheesecake based on a recipe I found here

I messed up a bit at the heart shape there, a bit frustrated about it but don't mind too much because the end result was just too tasty. I like this more than tiramisu or cheesecake on their own.

The recipe in text form, originally written by u/italian_cook (link to original post and video at the end of this comment)

Ingredients :

500 gr mascarpone (1.1 pound)100 gr heavy cream ( 3.53 ounce )130 gr sugar ( 4.59 ounce )300 gr savoiardi (10.58 ounce )250 gr coffee (8.82 ounce )unsweetened cocoa powder250 gr cream cheese (8.82 ounce )10 gr gelatin ( 0.35 ounce ) 1100 gr butter ( 3.53 ounce )6 EGGS----------- How to make a Savoiardi Crust ------------------

Take 190 gr ( 6.7 ounce ) of savoiardi and put them in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin. transfer the crumbs to a bowltake 100 gr (3.53 ounce) of butter, put it in a saucepan and melt itonce the butter is well melted put it in the savoiardi's crumbs, add 50 gr ( 1.76 ounce ) of coffee too and mix wellPress the mixture into the bottom of an 20 cm (8 inch) springform pan, you can put a cake collar in it now. Chill in fridge until firm, normally 40 minutes.----------- How to Mascarpone Cream ---------------

separate the egg yolks from the egg whitesput the gelatin in abundant water for at least 10 minutes until is softin a mixing bowl put the yolk and begin to work it with an electric whisk if you are not sure of the freshness and quality of the eggs you can always pasteurize the eggs ( see*)add 1/2 of sugar at the time and let the yolks absorb itwork the yolks until they change coloradd the mascarpone a little at the time beating with an electric whisk until it becomes smooth.Repeat the operation with the cream cheeseput the heavy cream in a saucepan, warm it on low heat and put the gelatin well drained from the water. Mix until the gelatin is well melted in the heavy creamAdd the heavy cream at the mixture a little at the time and continue to beat until the batter is creamy and smooth------------ Assembly-------------------------

Cut the remaining savoiardi in halftake the springform pan from the fridge and pour half of the cream cheese mixtureSoak the savoiardi in the cold coffee for a few moments and distributed it on the cream pressing gently until you obtain a layer pour another quarter of the cream.can happen that the savoiardi will rise a little, don't panic. Put the cake in the fridge for 20 minutes then press a little the savoiardi in the cream.Finally cover with the remaining cream cheese mixture put the springform pan in fridge for at least 3 hour.take off the cake collar and using a strainer dust the cheesecake with a dense layer of unsweetened cocoa powder.That's all! if you have any question feel free to ask. See you next time, i think that will be a classic carbonara! In the meanwhile Buon Appetito!!!

*To pasteurize egg yolks. Whip them with 65 gr sugar while you prepare the syrup with another 65 gr sugar and 45 gr of water. Wait for the syrup to reach 120° C. ( 248°F), then pour it very slowly over the whipped yolks, mixing the syrup well with the yolks if you have a stand mixer and a food thermometer the operation it's pretty easy

Mini brownie trifles

Link to recipe:

https://bakerinretrograde.wordpress.com/2020/12/20/brownie-trifle/

Chocolate Diplomat Cream Layer

1 cup milk

1/2 tbsp vanilla

3 egg yolks

1/3 cup sugar

1/8 cup cornstarch

1/2 tbsp unsalted butter

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Add the milk to a medium saucepan, place over medium heat and bring to a boil.

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cornstarch and whisk until smooth.

Whisk the hot milk gradually into the egg mixture until incorporated.

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. You know it is done when you can run a wooden spoon along the bottom of the saucepan, and it leaves a clean line.

Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and butter until melted. Let cool slightly.

Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the plastic against the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Chill about an hour.

Once chilled, whip up the heavy cream until thick and you can overturn the bowl without any cream falling out. Remember not to over-whip.

Fold the whipped into the chocolate pastry cream.

Brownie Layer

2 cups semisweet chopped chocolate or chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment, and grease with oil. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, cook butter over medium heat until melted and browned, stirring constantly. It should take about 4 minutes. You will see it change color and aroma with brown bits forming at the bottom. Immediately take it off the heat and pour over the chocolate chips.

Let the mixture sit to allow the chocolate chips to melt and then stir until no more chunks of chocolate remain. Whisk in the brown sugar.

Next add the eggs and whisk until evenly combined. Next mix in the vanilla until smooth. Stir in the salt and flour until they’re evenly incorporated. Then pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the brownies cool completely and cut or crumble into bite-sized pieces.

Whipped Cream Layer

1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Whip up the heavy cream until thick and you can overturn the bowl without any cream falling out. Remember not to over-whip.

Assembly

In each glass, place alternating layers of brownie bits, chocolate diplomat cream, and whipped cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate on top.
