Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour (I used only 3 1/2)
Egg wash:
Preparation
Pour the milk and water into a saucepan and heat to a scald.Pour this into a large bowl (I used my kitchen aid bowl since I was going to knead it using the mixer), allow to cool to lukewarm. Add in the oil, sugar and salt; mix with a wooden spoon till well blended.Add in the beaten egg and 2 cups of flour; mix till smooth with a wooden spoon.Add in the instant yeast and mix.Allow to sit for 10 minutes uncovered. Now, start to slowly add in more flour. I added 1 1/2 cups...a total of 3 1/2 cups of flour. I used my Kitchen Aid to do the mixing...I kneaded the dough for 6-8 minutes. Add a tablespoon of oil to a clean bowl and place the dough into the bowl. Turn over a few times to lightly coat all sides of the dough with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest till the dough doubles in bulk, about 1 hour. While the dough is rising, make the cones. That is if you don't have any. If you do...ah, take a break:)
Make the cones out of card stock paper material or fliers that are a bit more sturdier.Tape the cones and then cover them well with aluminum foil, so that no paper shows.Set them aside.Remove dough and knead a few time to release the gas. Now cut the dough into 8 pieces.Use a scale to make sure each piece is equal in weight(I didn't do this since I don't have a scale). Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes. Take each piece of dough and roll into a 36 inch rope.Roll the dough ropes around the greased 6 inch cream horn tubes.Place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with the egg glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds(or both).Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 30 minutes in a warm environment.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 - 22 minutes or till golden brown(mine took about 18 minutes).
Place onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a couple minutes before removing the tubes.Fill them with your favorite filling and enjoy!
They freeze very well.
