Best 6 Baba Au Rhum Recette Recipes

BABA AU RHUM

Steps:

• First, in advance, before you start making the dough, soak the raisins in rum and make sure the butter has softened to room temperature consistency. Next, combine the dry and fresh yeast with warm water and leave aside.
• To make the dough, mound the flour on the working surface, shape a well in the mound of flour, and add sugar, a pinch of salt, two eggs, and the yeast mixture into the well. With a wooden spatula, mix the ingredients until they are combined.
• Now, incorporate two more eggs into the dough by first adding one egg, then working it in - repeat the same with the second egg. Last, add the softened butter and work the dough until it becomes elastic, then incorporate the dried raisins; set aside the rum from the raisins for later and let the dough rise in a warm place.
• Brush 16 dariole molds - or individual ring molds - with melted butter, fill with the risen dough and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes. When baked, take it out onto a rack and leave to cool.
• Prepare a wire rack on which you will transfer the drained babas and leave them to cool; make sure there is a dish under the wire rack to collect the extra liquid. Then, make a syrup from water and sugar and when boiled, submerge the individual babas in the boiling syrup until no more air bubbles are released. Take out, and place onto the prepared wire rack. Let them cool completely.
• Now place the babas in the reserved rum and let them absorb the liquid by repeatedly spooning the rum over them.
• Serve with whipped cream - filled or topped, fresh fruit, or a few decorative rum-soaked raisins.

CLASSIC FRENCH RUM BABA (BABA AU RHUM) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Stir the yeast and the warm water together in a large bowl and allow the yeast to dissolve for 5 minutes. Lightly beat the eggs into the yeast and water.
• In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, citrus zests, and salt together. Stir the mixture into the yeast and eggs.
• Work the mixture in the bowl with a spatula until it holds together. On a very lightly floured surface, knead the dough with the softened butter until it becomes soft and elastic, about 5 minutes. The dough will be very sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover the dough, and allow it to rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, soak the raisins or currants in 3 tablespoons of rum.
• Once the dough has doubled, fold the rum-soaked fruit into it.
• Grease the baba molds and divide the dough evenly among them. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. Cover the molds and allow the dough to rise until the dough has just started to rise above the molds' edges, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Uncover the babas and bake them until they turn golden brown and begin to pull away from the sides of the molds, 20 to 25 minutes
• Immediately remove the babas from the molds and allow them to cool on a wire rack while you make the rum syrup.
• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, bring the water and sugar to a boil until the syrup has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the syrup from the heat and stir the rum and vanilla extract into the mixture.
• Place the babas into the hot rum syrup in batches, turning them several times, allowing them to soak up the syrup. They will swell and absorb most of the syrup. Continue to soak the babas until all the syrup is used.
• Carefully transfer each baba onto a dessert plate and brush with a generous amount of warmed apricot preserves.
• Garnish the babas au rhum with vanilla Chantilly cream to serve.

BABA AU RHUM CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the butter, milk and water to 120°-130°. Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Stir in rum., Bake cakes at 375° for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown. Poke holes in cakes with a fork; slowly pour 1 tablespoon rum syrup over each cake. Top each with a cherry half. Let stand for 10 minutes before removing from pans. Serve warm.

BABA AU RHUM

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: Put yeast and sugar in a medium bowl and stir in ¼ cup lukewarm water. Leave for 10 minutes, until mixture is bubbly. Add eggs and salt to the yeast mixture, and whisk together.
• In a medium mixing bowl, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the egg-yeast mixture and drained raisins, and beat with a wooden spoon, mixing well to make a soft, sticky dough. (Alternatively, prepare the dough in a stand mixer.) Cover bowl and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Butter 2 mini-muffin tins or 12 mini ramekins. Uncover dough, dust lightly with flour and turn out onto a clean work surface. Add flour as necessary to make dough manageable and knead lightly to make a large, slightly sticky ball. Cut the dough into 12 pieces of equal size (about 2 ounces/55 grams). Dust each with flour, roll each into a ball and place in muffin tins or ramekins. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the syrup: Put honey, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and orange zest in a medium saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups/360 milliliters water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve. Lower heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla and rum, turn off heat and let syrup cool to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake babas until lightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn babas out of their molds and onto a baking sheet, and return to the oven for 5 minutes to brown all over, as necessary. Remove and cover babas with a clean towel to keep them soft. (Store, cooled, in an airtight container at room temperature if making in advance.)
• About 2 hours before serving, place babas, top-side down, in a deep baking dish. Pour syrup over and let soak. Turn babas over a few times in syrup - they should get quite soggy.
• Prepare the whipped cream: With a whisk, hand-held beaters or in a stand mixer, whip cream to very soft peaks. Add sugar and whip lightly, leaving mixture soft.
• To serve, place one or two babas in a low soup plate. Spoon over a little more syrup, and splash on about a tablespoon of rum. Serve a big spoonful of whipped cream on the side. If desired, garnish with a strip of orange zest, plucked from the syrup.

FLAMING BABA AU RHUM

Steps:

• Pour 1/2 cup warm water into the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir in sugar and sprinkle in yeast. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• With mixer on low, beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in flour and salt. Add butter, a few cubes at a time, and beat until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Grease a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan with softened butter. Spoon half the batter into bottom of pan. Sprinkle chocolate over top of batter, making sure the chocolate doesn't touch the sides of the pan. Spoon remaining batter over chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove plastic wrap and transfer pan to oven. Bake until deep golden and firm to the touch, 30 to 40 minutes. Let baba cool in the pan, set on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Turn out onto rack while it is still warm and let cool completely.
• In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, ginger, orange peel, cloves and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain into a bowl; discard solids. Stir 1/2 cup rum into liquid.
• Place wire rack with cake over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour rum syrup slowly over surface of cake, allowing excess to drip into baking sheet below. Pour extra syrup from pan into a bowl and then pour it back on top of cake. Repeat several times until most of the syrup has soaked into the cake. (Reserve extra syrup for serving; you should have a least 1/3 cup left over.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Beat in crème fraîche. Beat in confectioner's sugar, to taste, and vanilla.
• Place cake on large platter. Place remaining 1/4 cup rum in a small skillet over high heat. Tilt skillet slightly so that rum catches fire. (If you don't have a gas range, use a long-handled match or lighter to set rum on fire.) Pour flaming rum over cake and let it burn off. Spoon whipped cream into the hollow center of the cake, then slice; or slice and then dollop with whipped cream. Serve cake with reserved rum syrup.

BABA AU RHUM

Steps:

• Make the cakes: Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 115 degrees F. Transfer the milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the yeast and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour, the 5 tablespoons butter, the eggs, orange zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix on low speed until combined, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, about 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to mix until the dough is slightly large, elastic and everything is well combined (the dough will be very runny and soft), about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and place in a warm spot to sit until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the currants and rye in a small bowl and let soak until the currants are plump, about 1 hour. Drain and set the currants aside.
• Stir the apricot preserves with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
• Whisk the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously brush 12 baba au rhum molds with butter and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Once the dough has risen, gently fold in the currants by hand. Scoop 1/4 dough into each mold. Cover the molds with a clean dish towel and place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 20 minutes. Be sure to watch closely--the dough will rise quickly and you do not want it to rise above the mold.
• Bake until the cakes are deep golden brown on top and have risen above the mold, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, make the syrup: Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, rye, rum and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking frequently, until the sugar has dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Stir occasionally to prevent film from forming.
• If needed, run a small offset spatula around the edge of each mold to loosen the cakes and pop them out. (The molds will still be warm so hold them with a clean dish towel to protect your hands). Working with one cake at a time, roll in the syrup to coat completely. Remove with a slotted spoon to a serving platter or plate and repeat with the remaining cakes. Spoon the apricot preserves over the cakes and then dollop each with some of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.
