Cheese Stick

My friend was so generous lend me her pasta machine a week ago after we made Cheese Stick together at her house. unfortunately, we did not make lots of photos cause too busy (our first trial and directly made 2 batch recipes). and today, I made again but only one recipe and took some photographs. before I already made a promise to take step by step photos and please do forgive me, I forgot some steps :p

talking about this recipe, this savory snack is very cheesy and crunchy. you can not stop eat it until your jar is empty. i can not say it's easy to make, emmm...nope, it is easy but not simple, require more effort to do it. yet, the results are very good. it is worth enough, don't worry!
today, I made them with my dearest hubby and my daughter. thank you darling!!
well, the incredible recipe, I got it from my talented blogger friend Ine Sena @ Papua. I recommend you to visit her blog, full of drooling foods :D

bahan :
450 gr tepung terigu protein sedang / medium wheat flour/all purp flour (me : all flour using all purpose flour)
50 gr tepung terigu protein tinggi/ high wheat flour
200 gr tepung tapioka/ tapioka starch
25 gr tepung maizena/ corn starch or maizena
10 gr tepung santan instant (optional) / coconut milk powder
1/2 sdm baking powder / table spoon of baking powder
100 gr mentega / butter
250 gr keju parmesan/edam/cheddar parut / cheese : parmesan,edam,cheddar - shredded
1/2 sdm garam / tablespoon salt
2 butir telur, kocok lepas / eggs - beaten
300 ml air dingin / cold water
2 lt minyak goreng kualitas baik / oil for frying

cara membuat/ directions :
- panaskan minyak goreng dalam wajan dengan api sedang-kecil.
preheat the oil in frying pan - low until medium heat

- ayak semua bahan kering, lalu masukkan semua bahan lainnya kecuali air, aduk rata menggunakan ujung-ujung jari tangan.
sieve all the dry ingredients, mix in the other ingredients except water, using your finger tips combine all.

- tambahkan air sedikit demi sedikit, aduk hingga adonan menggumpal, jadi tidak usah terlalu lama diuleni.
pour in cold water gradually, mix until the dough gathered. you don't need to overmix them

- giling adonan sebagian-sebagian kecil dengan gilingan mie/pasta dengan ketebalan dari no. 1 hingga no. 4, potong-potong, lalu potong dengan gilingan untuk memotong kwetiaw.
with pasta machine, shape the dough, from no. 1 until no. 4 and then continue with big noodle shape.

- goreng hingga kuning keemasan.
fry until golden brown

*tips penting : agar minyak tidak berbusa, ketika akan menggiling adonan bila adonan terlihat agak lengket, gunakan tepung tapioka sesedikit mungkin. caranya, pulas setipis mungkin tepung tapioka dengan tangan di atas permukaan meja kerja kita, pipihkan adonan yang akan kita giling tempelkan di atas pulasan tepung tapioka tadi. lakukan yg sama dengan sisi lainnya. adonan siap digiling, usahakan jangan dipulas tepung tapioka lagi.

tips : try to use less tapioka starch when you are shapping, so that the oil will not so foamy. lining your working table with small amount of tapioka starch, flatten the dough and spread on the working table, do the same for the other side. then the dough ready to flatten and try not to line with more tapioka starch.

the pasta machine :

the ingredients :



the dough after shaping, so sorry, forgot to shot the dough before shapping :p



when frying, be carefull, do not put in to much dough, it was foamy and the oil spread out from the pan


just after fried, absorb the oil...you need lot of towel paper




ready to test...:D yeah mommy, it's soooo goooood ;)

Cheese Brownies (Steam or Bake)

The original recipe actually is a Steamed Cheese Brownies...but, because the batter too much for my baking pan and not enough space inside my steamer, so i put the rest of them in a small pan for brioche lined with paper cup and baked.
I liked both of the result, moist and so cheesy. I found this marvelous recipes from Dewi Anwar - Kitchen Craft.

Ah...this is tooo sweeetttt....Cheese Cake

I made this cake actually last Thursday for my Wedding Anniversary. Found the recipe here, and gave it a try. But, because I was careless in writing the recipe from the computer, I missed one ingredient, the flour...:p Yeah, because usually the Cheese cake only use a few amount of flour so i thought ah, they just omitted it.
And not only that, I made the other stupidity...I didn't check all my ingredients stock in refrigerator before I started to mix. I didn't have the sour cream (or fresh cream)...before I wanted to omitted it, but then I remembered I had 2 pots of cherry yoghurt. I decided to use it...but that made the cake became too sweet, I didn't reduce the sugar and the yogurt already sweet. so to make the correction, I decorated the cake with the sour fruits, Kiwi and Orange. It was quite ok... well...i just posted this to remind me, next time don't do this again :)
Ok, here is the recipe :

Chantal's new York Cheesecake
Source : Allrecipes.com
Ingredients :

• 15 graham crackers, crushed
• 30 g butter, melted
• 896 g cream cheese
• 300 g white sugar
• 180 ml milk
• 4 eggs
• 230 g sour cream
• 15 ml vanilla extract
• 30 g all-purpose flour

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.

Cheese Biscuits

Well, this is the third time i tried to bake this biscuits. And i succeed. The first and the second the biscuits were overbaked or burned....I gave up for a while. I didn't have any passion to try again. But, because of we ate the same kind biscuits several days ago after we found it in Supermarche, I wanted to try again. With all the preparation and the very carefully baking process, Voila...J'ai reussi...Eventhough, i still have some question about this biscuits : It's wet inside...But overall, the taste is there, so cheesy...(for me, a bit salty..,but my hubby no..).
Anyway, that's the important thing, isn't it...my family love it....
The recipe were posted in KBB Blog, kind of Challenge for Indonesian Community who loves baking.
Okay, Let us see the biscuits and the recipe below :

Cheese Biscuits

Source: Vogue Australia: Wine and Food Cook book.

225g grated mature cheese (tanti : i used Edam Cheese)

125g butter

125g flour

cayenne pepper to taste (tanti : i used pepper powder)

sesame seeds

With finger tips, mix together cheese, butter, flour and cayenne pepper until mixture forms a mass. Butter a biscuit tray. Make small balls of the dough. Roll some in sesame seeds and press on tray, placing them fairly far apart as they will spread while cooking. (We have pressed walnuts on some of the biscuits and, for a colour contrast, some chopped pistachio nuts). Bake biscuits in pre-heated oven 180C for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
