Pumpkin Potato Pie 南瓜马铃薯派

A low fat savoury vegetarian pie made of thin shortcrust and low fat pumpkin filling. This simple pie will whet your appetite without guilt :)

Yield: 2 mini 12cm pies

Ingredients材料
Pie filling 派馅
160g pumpkin, peeled 南瓜,去皮
50g potato, peeled 马铃薯,去皮
10g sour cream 酸奶油
1/4 tsp seasoning powder 调味粉
1/8 tsp black pepper powder 黑胡椒粉

Shortcrust 派皮
70g all-purpose flour 中筋面粉
1/4 tsp salt 盐
30g cold butter, unsalted 无盐冷奶油
2 tsp ice water 冰水

Direction
1. Cut pumpkin and potato into chunks. Place the potato above the pumpkin, as the former needs longer cooking time.
将南瓜和马铃薯切块。把慢熟的马铃薯叠在南瓜上。

2. Steam the potato and pumpkin for 20 to 25 minutes under medium high heat till softened.
把马铃薯和南瓜以中高火蒸大概20至25分钟,直到马铃薯变软。


3. Separate the potato and pumpkin. Drain away the excess liquid before mashing the pumpkin while it is hot, by using a fork. Partially cover it to cool down.
将马铃薯和南瓜分开。将碗中的水份倒去,再趁热将南瓜压成泥。半掩的盖上盖子,让南瓜泥降温。


4. Cut the potato into smaller chunks. Set aside.
将马铃薯切成小块。待用。

5. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Place the butter on top and send the entire bowl into a fridge to chill for 5 minutes. As the rubbing process needs to operate in low temperature.
在一碗中把面粉和盐混合,把奶油置于上方后,把碗和材料一起放入冰箱5分钟。由于在接下来的步骤,用手指把奶油与面粉搓成粒状时,需在低温进行。


6. Break the butter into smaller chunks and start rubbing the butter with flour into crumbs using the first three fingers. 
先把奶油折成小块,再与面粉用手指搓成细粒,如面包糠。



7. Add 2 tsp of ice cold water to bind the crumbs together. 
加2茶匙的冰水,够把奶油粒捏成团就行。



8. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions, about 55g each. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
将面团分成两份,各大约55g。让面团休息15分钟。

9. After cooling down, add sour cream, seasoning powder, black pepper powder and egg to the mashed pumpkin, and mix well. Set aside.
把降温后的南瓜泥,加入酸奶油、调味粉、黑胡椒粉和鸡蛋,混均待用。



10. After 15 minutes of resting, place a dough between two plastic sheets. And roll it out into a thin sheet, either by using a flat base plate, or a rolling pin.
面团休息15分钟后,取一面团置于两张槊料纸之间,用一平底盘压,或用杆面棍杆成薄片。



11. With the help of the plastic sheet, slot the pastry skin into the pie pan. Use a knife to trim away the excess.
利用槊料纸将面皮装入派碗中。再用小刀将多余的面皮切去。


12. Prick a series of holes at the base of the pie shell by using a fork. This will prevent the base from bulging during baking.
用叉在面皮底部戳出细孔,这有助在烘焙时排汽。

13. Fill the pie shell with half of the pumpkins filling, and arrange potato chunks on it. Then fill the pie shells with the remaining pumpkin filling. 
将一半的南瓜泥装入派碗中后,在上面摆置马铃薯块,再将剩余的南瓜泥装入。

14. Level the surface of the filling by giving a few sturdy jolts. Hold a fork just lightly touching the pumpkin filling, turn the  pie pan to create concentric ring pattern.
敲打桌面数下以整平南瓜泥。再把叉子轻置在南瓜泥上,另一支手转动派碗、以画出数条同心圆。

15. Bake the pie in a pre-heated toaster oven set at 190 degree for 20 to 25 minutes.
将派放入预热至190度C,烤20至25分钟。

16. The pie is cooked when the edge of the pie shell begins to brown and pull away from the wall.
当派皮开始有点焦,又开始缩离派碗的边,派已熟。

Invert out the pie when it is still warm.
当派还热时就可将派倒扣出来。趁热享用 :)

Golden Cheese Buns 小烤箱芝士面


Yield: 9 pieces of 5cm round buns

Ingredients
135g bread flour 高筋面粉
15g top flour 低筋面粉
20g fine sugar 细糖
5g condensed milk 炼乳
15g beaten egg 蛋液
1/2 tsp instant dry yeast 即发酵母粉
1/8 tsp salt 盐
90g fresh milk 鲜奶
20g unsalted butter 无盐奶油

Some beaten egg for glazing 蛋液
40g Emmental cheese, shredded 
        Emmental乳酪丝
1 tsp icing sugar 糖霜

Directions
1. Mix all ingredients, except milk and butter, in a mixing bowl. 
将所有材料、除了牛奶和奶油,放进搅拌盆中混合。

2. Slowly add in the fresh milk, combine into a lump. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
慢慢将牛奶倒入,搅拌混合成团。盖上盖子,让面团休息15分钟,以吸收水分。




3. As the dough is quite sticky, wearing a CPE disposable gloves would make kneading easier. Knead the dough within the mixing bowl, by throwing, pulling, and folding the dough, until the dough becomes smooth. This process takes about 15 minutes.
由于面团开始有点粘手,如果戴上手套,较容易搓面团。只需抓住面团一角,甩打在搅拌盆里,微向后拉,再折上,再转90度抓住面团另一角,重复这些动作,直到面团成光滑状。大概需15分钟。

4. Spread out the dough and apply softened butter onto it. Knead to incorporate butter into the dough.
摊开面团,涂上奶油,将奶油搓进面团里。


5. Continue to knead till you can stretch out the dough. This takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
继续甩、拉、折动作,直到面团可拉出薄膜。大概需5到10分钟



6. Shape the dough into a ball by pulling down the sides several times, till the dough surface is stretched and smooth, and seal at the bottom. 
将面团的四周往下拉数次,直到面团表面被拉紧而呈光滑状。

7. Spray some water over the dough, cover with a lid and let it proof for about 60 minutes.
将面团放入碗中,喷些水,盖上盖子,让面团发大概60分钟,或两倍大。



8. At the end of proofing, turn out the dough onto a floured surface and flatten the dough with your palm.
发酵完毕,将面团倒在撒有面粉的台面。用手掌将空气排出。

9. Divide the dough into 9 equal portions, about 32g each. 
将面团分隔成9等份,各约32g。

10. Shape the dough into a ball by pulling down the sides of the dough several times till the surface is tight and smooth, and seal at the bottom. Roll the dough within your palm to shape into a ball.
将面团四周拉下数回,直到面皮拉紧光滑,收口在下面。面团撒些粉,置手掌中轻滚动成圆形。


11. Place the doughs onto a tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle some water over them.
将面团放置在铺上烘焙纸的烤盘上,表面喷些水。

12. Proof the doughs for 50 minutes with the toaster oven door close.
让面团送进小烤箱,关上门,发酵50分钟。

13. At the end of 50 minutes, remove the dough from the toaster oven. And preheat the toaster oven to 180 degree
Celsius.
50分钟后将面团移出烤箱,再预热烤箱至180度C。

14. Apply egg wash over the surface of the dough. Then sprinkle shredded Emmental cheese over.
面团先涂一层蛋液,再洒上Emmental乳酪。


15. Bake the bread at 180 degree Celsius for about 15 minutes, or till the cheese turns golden.
在预热180度C的小烤箱中烤大约15分钟,至到面包呈金黄色。


6. Remove the buns from the toaster oven, and sprinkle some icing sugar on top.
将面包移出烤箱后,洒上糖粉。

16. Let the cheese buns cool on a wire rack. Serve fresh :)
将面包放置在铁架上降温。新鲜享用:)
