Lid cookie bears Recipe











This is a cute lid made with cookies. The bear acts as the handle of the lid. Isn't this a neat idea?
With these ingredients you can make about 5 or 6 cookie lids of about 6 cm(2,4in) in diameter each.
If you go for a smaller size you can make a few more.
Serve your cookie lids with your favorite drinks, ice cream or yogurt, and enjoy!

Lid cookie bears Recipe
ingredients
100g/3,5oz  cake flour
40g/1,4oz caster sugar
50g/1,8oz butter(room temperature) 
table spoon milk
 
For icing
black cocoa powder
powder sugar
 


Directions
1. Make the cookie dough. Put butter into a bowl and mix it thoroughly with a spatula, making it smooth. Add sugar and mix together thoroughly. Add flour, mix together again, then shape up the entire dough. Plastic wrap the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
2.Take the dough out of the fridge after leaving it there for about 1 hour and use a rolling pin to stretch it out into a rectangular shape of 22 cm by 15 cm (about 5 mm thick.)
※22cm=8,7in 15cm=5,9in About 5mm thick=About 0,2in
Use a container in the desired size to cut out the dough,and use the remaining dough to make bear cookies. For the face of the bear, make a dough ball about the size of the tip of your thumb and, for the ears, make two more small dough balls and attach them to the head. Place a baking liner on an baking tray, and then place the bear cookies on top of it.


 

  3.Pre-heat at 170(340F) and bake for 20 minutes .
Put the baked cookies onto a cooling rack and cool off.
Create the eyes and nose of the bear using icing. I left out the amount of the icing since only a small amount is used. Mix egg-whites with icing(powdered) sugar. The weight of the egg-whites should be 15% of the weight of the icing(powdered) sugar. Add a small amount of black cocoa powder to add color, and mix thoroughly. Put into the bag that was introduced in this article and squeeze out to add eyes and noses to the cookies.

Lie face down bread Bears Recipe

Lie face down bread Bears Recipe

ingredients
serving8(original recipe makes 8 lie face down bread bears)
200 g(7,1oz) bread flour
110g(3,9oz) water(use lukewarm water during wintertime)
1+1/2 tablespoon(15g/0,5oz) brown sugar
2g/0,07oz salt
15g/0,5oz butter 
1teaspoon(3g/0,1oz) instant dry yeast

Directions
Get two bowls ready, and put bread flour and salt in one.
Put water(use lukewarm water during wintertime), sugar, and dry yeast into the other bowl and mix together thoroughly.
Add this mixture into the bowl containing the bread flour, and knead.
When the mixture becomes one cluster, take it out from the bowl, and knead the cluster until the surface of the dough becomes smooth. 
When the surface becomes smooth, add butter and knead thoroughly once more.
Then, roll the dough into a ball and put into a bowl.



Put plastic wrap onto the bowl. Then, by keeping this bowl somewhere warm, do the primary fermenting until the dough blows up to twice its size. 



Take out the dough from the bowl while being careful not to damage it.

First of all, divide the dough into 8 equal parts.At this time, the weight of each part should be of about 4243g(about 1,48oz)
Next, divide each of the parts in the following way:
  - 2 pieces of dough of 1 grams(0,04oz) each, for the hands
  - 2 pieces of dough of 1 grams(0,04oz) each, for the legs
  - 2 pieces of dough of 0,5 grams(0,02oz) each, for the ears
  - a piece of 20 grams(0,7oz) for the head
  - a piece of 17 grams(0,6oz) for the body
  Roll each piece of dough into a ball.
  Let the dough sit for 15 to 20 minutes after placing a fully wrung wet cloth on top.

 
Lightly flatten the dough and punch it down. Re-roll all of them.
Place a baking sheet on a oven tray and place the pieces of dough for the head and the ears on it.
Shape the piece of dough for the body in a oval form, stretch and mold the pieces for the legs and arms into strips and attach them to the pieces of dough that you  placed on the tray before (as seen in the picture.)
To prevent the dough from drying up, place plastic wrap and a fully wrung wet cloth on top.
Make sure the plastic wrap does not stick to the dough.

 



Do the secondary fermenting until the dough blows up to twice its size.

Bake
Pre-heat at 190(370F) and bake for 15 minutes.
Baking times and the temperature of the oven will differ according to the model, so please make adjustments accordingly.

After the bread is baked, create eyes and noses using toasted nori seaweed.
