Maple Bar with Vanilla Cream Filling
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Let it cool to lukewarm.
- Add the milk mixture, eggs, and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the dough pieces on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the maple bars for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the vanilla extract.
- Using a piping bag, fill each maple bar with the vanilla cream filling.
- Serve and enjoy!
