Ingredients
Dough:
- 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 to 4 cups bread flour
Egg Wash:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
Method
Pour the milk and water into a saucepan and heat to a scald.
Pour this into a large bowl, 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.
When the mixture becomes to hard to mix in the bowl, pour out onto a well floured surface and knead in more flour for 8 minutes. The dough will become smooth and elastic. Add just enough flour that the dough no longer sticks to your hands while kneading.
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.
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. 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 cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 - 22 minutes or till golden brown. Place onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a couple minutes before removing the tubes.
