Pâte à Choux | Choux pastry dough | Recipe

Hello, Welcome back to my channel. Today we are starting a new recipe focussed series, and making choux pastry is the perfect recipe to start this new series on the channel. Pâte à choux (or choux pastry) is very versatile, and this recipe can open a world of delicious possibilities for you! Once you master it, not only the classic chouquettes, profiteroles, choux aux craquelins, and cheese gougères are opening for you. So many more recipes leave so much space for your imagination. --------------------------------------------------- 🥚 RECIPE (main) - Pâte à choux 120ml of water (or milk) 40g of butter (salted or unsalted is ok, depending on what you're making) 120g of all-purpose flour 2 large eggs (room temperature) 🥚 RECIPE VARIATIONS 🌸 - Choux aux craquelins (craquelin recipe) This can be done in advance... either just before making one batch of the pâte à choux dough or 1-2 days in advance. Keep in the fridge until you're ready. 60g of soft butter (unsalted, room temp) 70g of brown sugar (light or dark will work) 70g of all-purpose flour ...mix together all the ingredients and flatten the dough to a 0.5cm thin sheet (I strongly recommend flattening the craquelin dough between two parchment paper sheets) and leave it in the fridge until it gets harder. Once it's hardened, get it out of the fridge and, with a round cookie cutter, cut a bunch of disks. When you are assembling your choux aux craquelins, make sure the craquelin disk is a little bit bigger than your pipped choux pastry dough (as shown in the video) 🌸 - Cheese gougères Add about 100g of finely grated cheese per batch of choux pastry dough. Gruyère, Parmesan or Pecorino are the best. No soft cheese. Let your imagination run wild. 🌸 - Chouquettes No modification to the original recipe, but topped (before baking) with Pearl sugar which is compressed sugar crystals that won't melt away once baked. You can usually find pearl sugar in specialty baking supply stores. 🌸 - Chocolate eclairs No modification to the original recipe piped in a log shape. Once cooled down, dip the top of your eclairs in melted chocolate and stuff (either with a whole from the bottom or slice them in half to make little sandwiches style (my favourite way)) with pastry cream, diplomate cream or anything else you fancy. --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- ⚠️✨ BEWARE OF SCAMMER USING MY PHOTOS, VIDEO CONTENT & ART TO SCAM YOU ✨⚠️ 👉 Linktr.ee/arielrebel 👉 MissRebelCreates.com/about --------------------------------------------------- If you enjoy my photography & painting style, I sell prints on Etsy 🎨 - Etsy.com/shop/MissRebelCreates *⚠️* DISCLAIMER *⚠️* - I do NOT have a twin sister, an assistant or anyone else managing my social media accounts.

Episode 7 - The journey to your best Minestrone.

🍲 Episode 7: To celebrate the brand new year ahead of us, I felt compelled to upload a longer video than usual. Today's upload is kind of a summary of the past year on Youtube and a very personal insight into many of the moods and events that happened this year with the significant lesson that has been learned. It also serves as a segue into what I hope will be a more significant presence on Youtube on my part. Like most of us, I'm starting this year full of hopes and projects for 2023 and uploading more videos on this channel is one of the many goals I've set for this year. I hope you enjoy this upload and that it gives you some clarity on what you've witnessed of me in this past year. I hope it also helps you move forward with a more positive mindset. Lastly, I hope you get to try this delicious Minestrone recipe because it's one of my favourite soups, and this recipe will not disappoint.

Episode 5 - Hindsight, road trip & pumpkin muffins

🧁 Episode 5: This month, I'm reflecting on the importance of allowing ourselves to learn something new and allowing the universe to guide us where we should be going while enjoying the journey. I'm going through a bit of a ramble; a challenge I gave myself for this episode was to become more comfortable rambling in front of the camera without caring so much. In hindsight, I could have been more careful formulating my sentences to avoid saying "LIKE" every second, but we learn new things every day... right? 😉✨ The video finishes with a delicious pumpkin recipe that is suuuuuper easy and quick to do. Hope you enjoy today's episode and wish you a lovely rest of your day. Thank you for watching ✨ --------------------------------------------------- 🧁 RECIPE ----- For the crumble * 50g of unsalted pumpkin seeds 80g of quick oats 15g of all-purpose flour 15g of brown sugar 20g of unsalted butter ----- For the muffins 240g of pumpkin puree 70g of cane sugar 60g of brown sugar 1 large egg 4g of cinnamon 0.3g of nutmeg 0.5g of ground cloves 1g of ginger powder 150g of all-purpose flour 3g of baking soda 5g of baking powder Oven 350F (20mins) * This crumble recipe will make way more than what you need for 6 big muffins.

✨ Life update - Staying curious & travelling around Europe/Asia for 4 months. 🌏 / Summer 2022

What I originally thought would be a month-long backpacking trip around Europe... ended up being a 4 month-long trip around Europe and Asia! This is a fun visual recap of my summer with a bit of wisdom that I learned while travelling, which I hope you'll enjoy. This vlog is about staying curious. It's about tapping into that child's mind we all have and remaining open to all possibilities ahead of us. It's about discoveries, manifestations and obviously FOOD. ----------------------------------------------------- ⭐️ It's been such a task trying to choose which footage would go in this video, and I still feel like I could have edited 10 different versions using all the footage shot during the summer. As I'm posting this, in my eyes, it's not perfect, but it's still great. Truth be told, it's hard, sometimes, to remind myself that I'm still learning video editing and the millions of tricks that are possible to do. So, hopefully, you won't be too dizzy looking at all the pieces of information on the screen, and I'll be looking forward to reading your comments. Have a wonderful day/night/evening/early morning... whenever you watch this. --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- ⚠️✨ BEWARE OF SCAMMER USING MY PHOTOS, VIDEO CONTENT & ART TO SCAM YOU ✨⚠️ 👉 Linktr.ee/arielrebel 👉 MissRebelCreates.com/about --------------------------------------------------- If you enjoy my photography & painting style, I sell prints on Etsy 🎨 - Etsy.com/shop/MissRebelCreates *⚠️* DISCLAIMER *⚠️* - I do NOT have a twin sister, an assistant or anyone else managing my social media accounts.

Episode 4 - Insecurities, perspective & glazed donuts

🍩 Episode 4 - Like anyone I have my insecurities and because I went through the editing of 5 (decent) videos for this channel, I decided to challenge myself a bit. Culinary speaking, making donuts has always been my worst nightmare and over the years, I had never been able to create a decent donut recipe. Not only that deep frying is terrifying to me, the donuts never really came out good enough to share a recipe. So the first challenge was to make the donuts and then the second one was to talk directly to my camera. Hence why the different introduction on today's episode. Prior to launching this channel, I've battled with a lot of inner demons and it's the change of perspective that allowed me to jump in the unknown and start this youtube adventure. With that said... I realize my concept for this cooking channel, as of now, might be a little strange for most people. That on itself is causing a rise in my level of anxiety and it obviously triggers a lot of new insecurities but it isn't something that I have chosen to do. It is something that I feel called to do. So it's ok... I'm embracing all my insecurities and all my weird because that's the direction my heart and my soul feel pushed toward to and with every new upload, a piece of my soul feels at rest. As selfish as this process might sound, I truly hope it inspires a few people out there to challenge themselves to get out of their comfort zone. I hope that through my process, of putting all my raw emotions for the world to see and judge, it allows a few of you to make the changes needed in order to follow what you feel called to do. Wishing you guys all the best. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this text. Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel and liking my videos. Hope you enjoy today's episode. ---------------------------- ✨ CHAPTERS Introduction 0:00 Recipe 3:38 -------------------------- ✨ Ingredients - For the pre-ferment 5g of active dried yeast 120ml of 3.25% fat cow milk 80ml of boiling water 50g of cane sugar 150g of all purpose flour - For the dough 2 large eggs 200g of all purpose flour 100g of plain yogurt pinch of fine sea salt - Donut Glaze (3) 🍁 MAPLE 20ml of maple syrup 50g of powdered sugar 10ml of milk 🍫 CHOCOLATE 50g of powdered sugar 5g of cocoa powder 15ml of milk 🍓 STRAWBERRY (This makes a lot of glaze, you'll have extra for a second batch of donuts) 50ml of strawberry sauce* 200g of powdered sugar 10ml of milk * to make the strawberry sauce: Boil down fresh strawberries with a little bit of sugar (you don't need to add a lot of sugar).

Forgiveness and focaccia

Episode 2 Forgiveness is something you have to do for yourself. It's an act of love and empathy and a skill we should all try to master. We forgive to give ourselves peace of mind but also as a gift to others who offered us a valuable lesson. Love yourself enough to forgive and love others who did you wrong because they are only humans. ------------------------------------- Time stamps Story - 0:00 Recipe introduction - 1:50 Recipe - 2:49 ------------------------------------- INGREDIENTS - Sponge 200ml of lukewarm water 150g of all purpose flour 5g of acive dried yeast (instant yeast works too) - Dough 180g of all purpose flour 100ml of lukewarm water 50ml of olive oil 2g of fine sea salt - Saumure (liquid we pour on top) 10ml of water 10ml of olive oil 5g of fine sea salt - Extras Maldon salt flakes (for topping) Extra olive oil (to generously oil thee pan with) --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- ⚠️✨ BEWARE OF SCAMMER USING MY PHOTOS, VIDEO CONTENT & ART TO SCAM YOU ✨⚠️ 👉 Linktr.ee/arielrebel 👉 MissRebelCreates.com/about --------------------------------------------------- If you enjoy my photography & painting style, I sell prints on Etsy 🎨 - Etsy.com/shop/MissRebelCreates *⚠️* DISCLAIMER *⚠️* - I do NOT have a twin sister, an assistant or anyone else managing my social media accounts.

Words from the heart.

Art has always been the essence of who I am.

From my earliest memories, art has been a crucial outlet for self-expression and understanding the whirlwind of emotions within me. It served as a refuge, helping to soothe the confusion and alienation I often felt, standing out as the odd one in many rooms.

My journey in the arts has been far from straightforward.

From a young age, I was drawn to the performing arts, dedicating years to acting, singing, modelling, and theatre. This passion eventually led me behind the camera.

 

In my early twenties, my adventurous spirit and creative curiosity guided me into the adult industry. There, I found success as an erotic model, becoming one very recognized and celebrated figure in my field, earning numerous awards and nominations.

 

Despite the obvious challenges one in this line of work may encounter, I found joy and fulfillment in my work.

However, as years went by, a craving for new challenges emerged, prompting me to explore other facets of my creativity that had been dormant or underdeveloped.

It was around 2020 that painting began to shape my evolution profoundly.

 

Surprisingly, it quickly became a vital part of my identity, a tool for deeper introspection than I had ever known. It opened doors of my subconscious that I had not explored before, and I haven't looked back since. Sculpting is making a humble beginning in my practice, and each new creative day adds a new chapter to my story.

With every new piece, a new version of myself emerges. The saying that art saves lives rings true in my experience; it's a reality I cherish deeply.
