Dutch Whole Wheat Bread

Dutch Whole Wheat Bread

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like bread that sticks to the roof of my mouth. I have tried many recipes and this recipe from Toine is the closest to the bread I was used to. I didn’t have to change anything to his recipe. If you like to watch the video instead of the pictures I post here, you can watch the video on Toine’s Kitchen.

Wentelteefje

Wentelteefje

‘Wentelteefjes’ literally translated in English is ‘Turning Bitches’. Where does the name come from and what are they called elsewhere? The old Dutch word ‘ Wentelteefjes ‘ can indeed be traced back. ‘Wentel’ comes from the word ‘turn around’, so to turn around. ‘Teefje’ is a word that used to be used as the predecessor of the word ‘pastry’. Teefje is also a female dog.

In English ‘Wentelteefjes’ called ‘French Toast’. There are several stories about the origin of this name. The most surprising is the claim that this name has been assigned to this dish because the word ‘French’ ensured a more luxurious look. This way the chefs could ask more money for the dish.
French toast is definitely not the French name for French toast. In France they call them ‘Pain Perdu’. The literal translation of this is ‘lost bread’, so stale bread. This in turn links to the discovery that the Romans once made and sealed the ‘lost bread’ as tasty. They have also been the creators of this recipe

 
Ingredients
  • Stale Bread
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla (optional)
  • Butter
 
Instructions
  1. You know how it is, sometimes you make too much bread. One of the things you can do with it, is make “Wentelteefjes’. Cut thick slices of bread( if you don’t have home made bread, get the Texas toast). Some people will cut the crust off, I don’t.
  2. Put the milk, in a bowl and add 1 egg, cinnamon and sugar. Optional you can add vanilla. Whisk well. Let the bread soak for a few minutes. Then add butter to your skillet and fry the bread on both sides. You can top it with for example with sugar, syrup, butter and fruit of your choice.

Raisin Buns

Raisin Buns

Krentenbollen (currant buns) is very popular in The Netherlands. Nowadays currant buns are almost always made with a mixture of raisins and currants, which technically makes them raisin-currant buns. This is also what they print on the back of the bags of currant buns you buy in the supermarket, but everyone just keeps calling them currant bun (krentenbol).I call mine Raisin Buns.
