Belgian Waffles
- 90 grams Cake flour
- 90 grams Strong bread flour
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 10 grams Dry yeast
- 130 to 150 grams 1 egg and milk
- 80 grams Unsalted butter - chilled and finely diced
- 50 grams Nib sugar
- 1 dash Vanilla oil or essence
- Put all the ingredients except for the nib sugar and vanilla oil into the bread machine.
- Set the machine to bread dough and complete the first rising.
- When the mixture has come together, add vanilla oil.
- The dough may seem really sticky and dense at first, but will eventually become nice and shiny.
- Take the dough out after the first rising is finished.
- Divide into 8 portions.
- Mix in the nib sugar.
- There's no need to form the dough into balls!
- It's actually better if the nib sugar sticks out rather than being completely folded in.
- If the dough is too runny, scoop it out with a spoon or a spatula to put directly onto the sandwich maker.
- Preheat the sandwich maker.
- Cover the dough with a damp (tightly squeezed) cloth to prevent it from drying up.
- Bake in the preheated sandwich maker.
- It will be nice and crunchy if the nib sugar is a little visible on the surface of the dough.
- Press the edges to test its doneness - it should be a little spongy.
- It's ready to be served when the surface is golden brown as in the photo!
- I also tried baking it in different shapes as shown here.
- I've had a lot of feedback saying that the batter was too runny, so I reduced the amount of milk and eggs.
- If they get cold, wrap them up in aluminum foil and warm them up in a toaster oven.
