    Fouace Rabelais


    "Faict fine wheat flower diluted with beautiful hubs of eggs and butter, saffron, spices and water, the Fouasse tourangelle described by Rabelais in Gargantua is the epitome of" happy delicacies "and good food so touted by the author in his novels. Say that the origin, fouace was just a cake of wheat pricked holes to keep it flat and used mainly to bowl fripp (ranging butter jam) ..! Since the Middle Ages that the fouace turned into a luxury bread enriched with butter and eggs which Gargantua was so hungry that even triggered a war because fouaciers refused to sell him! !
    Unlike the traditionally sweet fouace Nantes, Tours fouace the actual Rabelaisienne contains no sugar but spice.
    Fouaces de Rabelais - fouacetouraine (for 15 fouaces)
    • 550g flour T45
    • 2.5 cc instant dry yeast or 20g fresh yeast bakery
    • 1.5 cc salt
    • 100g honey (150g at the origin)
    • 5 eggs means (about 250g)
    • Saffron 1 cc
    • 1 cc cinnamon
    • 100ml milk
    • 85g walnuts coarsely chopped (50g at the origin)
    • 70g cold butter


    Initially, this recipe from the book "Recipes Touraine our grandmothers' and communicated by Lili is done by hand. Like her, I used my bread machine to knead. A robot dough can also be used, otherwise .. like in the good old days: up his sleeves! In a bowl or the bowl of the robot, mix sifted flour with dry yeast and salt. Dig a well and pour in eggs, honey, spices and milk. Start to mix from the center of the bowl by turning in one direction and dropping flour as to ensure that all ingredients are well combined. When the dough begins to form a uniform ball that comes off of the walls (depending on the type and quality of flour, it will adjust the dough pieces by adding a little flour always 1 tablespoon at a time), add the butter cut into small pieces and continue kneading until thoroughly incorporated. Add the chopped nuts and knead again for 2 min of incorporation: the dough should be slightly sticky, soft and elastic. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Note: as the fouace Aveyron, the dough should be very sticky. For ease of work and certainly more developed flavors, I suggest fold the dough after 1 hour of rest and put it in a cool for a few hours or the night before the shape.

    Pour the dough on the work surface and lightly flour folded several times on itself by using the cut-paste to avoid flour (the dough is very soft and sticky enough, this is normal). Divide into pieces of equal weight: I made 15 of 75g. Regular shape into balls and place on two sheets of baking parchment paper chemisées making sure to leave enough space between them. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise about 1 hour. (Lili brush with beaten egg before the primer and again before putting).

    Preheat oven 5-6 th (160 ° C).
    Fouaces Brush with beaten egg with a pinch of salt and sprinkle with sugar beans or walnuts. Oven and bake about 20 - 25 minutes watching the end of cooking.
    Cool on rack.

    I "ve really been conquered by these fouaces to light nutty flavor and so bewitching. Even those who do not love cinnamon (I am one!) Will be captivated by the delicious smell that cooking smells during cooking: an invitation to the tasting!
    Unlike fouaces by Lili, mine were not as yellow because that instead of saffron powder, I put filaments of saffron. I also recommend soaking in milk before so they can better express their fragrance and color.
    By taste and convenience, I prefer to use coarsely chopped nuts with a knife (the former) rather than crushed nuts. If you prefer to use them, they can be incorporated directly with the flour.
    ou fouée en accompagnement de foie gras ou de fromage de chèvre… sans oublier un bon vin blanc fruité.. My fouaces are not very sweet because I had to 150g of honey instead of 100 (that's all I have left), which also allows them to be used as their colleague the faluche Booster or as an accompaniment foie gras and goat cheese ... not to mention a fruity white wine .. Chinon, of course!
    Try them, and like me, you will not fail to say Merciiiii Lili!

    Fouace du Rouergue


    Cake typical Rouergue Aveyron or distant origins, the fouace (often called Rabelaisienne) is a sweet brioche generally in the form of a crown whose manufacture requires a traditional slow fermentation and kneading intensive. Depending on the region, there are hundreds of variants of the fouace whose consistency varies according to the proportions of different ingredients that they remain constant as fouace comes from Aubrac, Laguiole, Pons or elsewhere in the land of volcanoes.

    Fouace du Rouergue - fouacespa013 (for 1 large or 2 medium fouace)
    • 500g flour T45
    • 20g fresh yeast bakery
    • 100g butter
    • 150ml milk
    • 3 eggs means
    • 125g caster sugar
    • 1 pinch of salt
    • 1cs of orange flower water
    Place all ingredients at room temperature.
    In a bowl, mix the sifted flour with the sugar and salt. Digging a well, pour in eggs, yeast in a little milk (1-2cs levied on 150ml) and the orange flower water. Mix by adding the remaining milk slowly until dough forms a ball that separates the sides of the bowl (the dough should be sticky fouace, this is normal. However, if it was difficult to form a ball-homogeneous what can happen depending on the type of flour used-add a little flour until rain forming a sticky ball). Add the softened butter cut into small pieces and knead several times vigorously until thoroughly incorporated into the dough. Continue kneading by lifting and folding the dough several times in a row to incorporate air (very sticky dough initially strengthens gradually, it takes the body). Finally, it requires a slightly sticky dough, very soft and smooth. (all this can be achieved in bread machine or robot).
    Cover with a cloth and let dough rest for a night free from drafts.
    The next day, pour the dough on a work plan and flour lightly flour your hands. Rework the dough into the folding several times on itself and may add raisins or candied fruit). Divide into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball or ring (forming first a flange and close by pinching the edges). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover and let rise about 1 hour.
    Preheat oven TH5-6 (160 ° C). Brown fouaces brush with egg yolk diluted in water 1cs. Oven and cook for 25 to 30min.

    Note

    To keep their crowns to form, make an opening large enough and put flour in a glass the hole in the crown to hold it during the lifting. , il est possible de réaliser des petites roses avec un petit morceau de pâte prélevée sur un des deux morceaux selon la technique expliquée , et de faire des entailles à la lame de rasoir. To imitate fouace Laguiole, it is possible to make small roses with a small piece of dough taken from one of the two pieces using the technique described here, and make cuts to the razor blade.
