Heart Shaped Bread Recipes

HEART-SHAPED HERBED ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut crescent roll dough apart along perforations. Spread all eight triangles with butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Make four stacks by placing two pieces of dough on top of each other, stretching as needed to match the shapes. Using a 2-1/2 in. cookie cutter, cut two heart shapes out of each stack. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 11-13 minutes. Serve warm.

EASY HEART-SHAPED CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan and an 8-inch round pan. Line bottoms with parchment or wax paper. Grease paper and dust lightly with flour.
• Beat white sugar, butter, vanilla, and almond extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined.
• Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl.
• Beat 1 cup dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Add 1/2 cup milk; beat until combined. Continue adding 1 cup dry ingredients and 1/2 cup milk, beating after each addition, until all are used and batter is smooth. Divide evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on racks.
• Beat butter and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating after each addition and adding milk as needed, until frosting is fluffy, smooth, and spreadable.
• Remove 1/3 cup frosting and divide between 2 small bowls. Tint 1 dark pink with red food coloring. Tint the other orange-pink with red and yellow food coloring. Tint remaining frosting light pink with red food coloring.
• Set square cake on a work surface and rotate 45 degrees so that it resembles a diamond. Spread a little light pink frosting on left and right top sides of the diamond. Cut round cake in half crosswise to make 2 half-moons. Attach half-moons to top left and top right sides of diamond, gently pressing cake pieces together to adhere. Spread remaining light pink frosting over the assembled cake. Drop spoonfuls of dark pink and pink-orange frosting onto cake. Drag an offset spatula through frosting to create a marbled look.
• Pat sprinkles onto the sides of the cake. Chill, covered, for up to 3 days. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before slicing into 16 pieces.

HEART CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch heart-shaped pan with butter and dust with some extra bread crumbs.
• Cream 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter in a bowl with an electric mixer; mix in 2/3 cup white sugar and vanilla sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until light and foamy.
• Place 5 ounces chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, then blend into egg mixture. Mix almond meal with bread crumbs and fold into the chocolate batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the lowest rack for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cook completely, about 1 hour. Remove from pan.
• Place 5 ounces chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, then mix in confectioner's sugar.
• Cream 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Stir in chocolate-sugar mixture and almond extract until ganache is smooth.
• Cut heart cake horizontally into 2 layers. Cover the bottom layer with some chocolate ganache and place second layer on top. Cover heart on all sides with remaining chocolate ganache.
• Roll out marzipan into a thin layer on parchment paper. Cut out circles with a small glass to make petals; you need about 12 petals per rose. Roll one of the circles into a spiral shape for the center of the rose. Add the next marzipan circle and roll it around the center piece. The marzipan should just stick together. If you need extra "glue", use some water. Decorate cake with pink roses and other candy to your liking.

HEART SHAPED BREAD!!

Steps:

• Before you start cooking make sure you have washed your hands and also that your hair is tied back (if needed). Preheat the oven to about 200 degrees celcius.
• Put the flour, water, yeast, olive oil, salt and sugar all into a bowl and mix it all together (preferably with a fork but you can use a spoon) until it becomes a dough mixture.
• Then knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes, untill it has a smooth and elastic-like texture.
• After you have done this, leave the bread dough to prove for about half an hour, to do this, wrap it in cling foil and leave it in a warm place (for example on a warm window ledge) to doubke in size.
• Now for the fun bit! Take the cling film off and knock the air out of the dough, then roll your dough out so that it has a fairly large area. Then add your cheese and bacon, you can add as much or as little of the 60g as you like!
• After you have done this, close your dough back up and shape it into your heart shape (if you would prefer to do another shape feel free!)
• *(OPTIONAL) Add a few slits in the top of your bread dough and add a salt water glaze for a shiny and crunchy end result. You may also add sesame seeds or any other seeds you wish.
• After you have done this, leave it to prove for a final time for 30 minutes to an hour until it has doubled in size once more.
• Once you have done this, place your heart shaped bread into the oven to cook for about 12-15 minutes.
• Once the time is up, take the bread out of the oven and make sure it is good by tapping the bottom of your bread, if it sounds hollow its done, if it doesn't put it back into the oven for a few minutes until it does. After it is ready, it is now time eat your own homemade heart shaped bread!
