The secret to the perfect waffle

2024. 07. 24.

Even the ancient Greeks baked wafers between iron plates. A few thousand years later, a creative craftsman came up with the grooved shape, reminiscent of a beehive. Since then it has spread all over the world.

Someone eats waffles with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
However, it is not considered a dessert everywhere. There are places where they make sandwiches out of it, and they also eat it with crispy bacon.

The recipe

Let's look at the ingredients:

550 grams of fine flour
850 milliliters of milk
5-6 eggs
130 grams of tea butter
4 tablespoons of sugar (approx. 80-90 grams)
25 grams of fresh yeast
16 grams of vanilla sugar
salt

How to make:

Beat the eggs with the two types of sugar and salt until frothy!
Heat the milk a little. Pour a little milk into a separate container and crumble the yeast into it together with a little sugar.
Leave to rest for 15 minutes until the yeast takes effect.
Meanwhile, add melted butter to the eggs. Add the flour and milk to the eggs.
Using a stand mixer, you will get a lump-free end result by constantly mixing.
After the resting time is over, it is worth gently mixing the dough with loose movements. Be careful! Small air bubbles must be protected. It is worth mixing the mass not only before baking for the first time, but also before baking each waffle. It's just a few moves.
Take out the waffle machine, and let the baking begin!

Raw materials

However, the perfect recipe is only half the battle. The acquisition of high-quality raw materials is essential.

The secret

99% of waffle recipes recommend baking powder to loosen the dough. However, a much lighter and airier dough is obtained if yeast is used instead of baking powder. Of the latter, we should also choose fresh instead of instant. Caution! While the baking powder dough can be used immediately after mixing, this version must be allowed to rest for a while. Let the yeast fungus work for 30-40 minutes.

Waffles will be phenomenal if you use sourdough dough! Try it, believe it, we speak from experience!

The baking

You will need a waffle maker for baking. These devices are usually made with a Teflon coating, so no preparations are required. On the other hand, with older machines, where this layer is already worn, it is worth greasing the baking surface with a little butter so that the dough does not stick..

What else is worth paying attention to

Baking time is very important. With a properly functioning machine, the baking time is 3-4 minutes. If you bake the dough for 3 minutes, you get lighter colored, softer waffles. The closer we go to 4 minutes, the crispier and darker the color will be. It is important to emphasize that every waffle maker is different, so you have to experience your own baking time.

However, if you apply this recipe and use a professional machine success is guaranteed. The whole family will love it!
