Went to Goofy’s Kitchen in Downtown Disney for brunch today! The food is super good and there’s Disney characters walking around as people are eating. I was able to take pictures with Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, and Baloo huuuhu (´ε｀ )
Cinnamon Sugar Toast
Yields 2 pieces of toast
2 slices of bread
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Butter, for spreading
Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread
Yields 1 loaf
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups barely warm water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all purpose (or bread) flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yeast and water. Let sit 5 minutes until yeast is foamy. Mix in the olive oil, salt, and flour. If you have a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead the dough for 5-6 minutes, or until elastic. If you are doing this by hand, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until dough is elastic, 7-10 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until dough is doubled in size.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, parsley flakes, and minced garlic. Set aside.
Punch down the dough. Tear off small pieces of dough (roughly the size of the bowl of a medium spoon), coat in the butter mixture, and place in the bottom of a bundt pan. Repeat this process until you have one layer of dough balls. Sprinkle on 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Continue layering the dough balls and cheese until you have 3 layers. Cover the pan with a clean towel and allow to sit until dough has doubled in size, 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bread is golden brown. Serve hot with a side of marinara or tomato sauce.
Chocolate Dipped Panda Gummy Bears | The Cheese Thief
These are almost too cute to eat! Almost. These were done by dipping the little bears in white chocolate and then ‘painting’ on the features using cocoa powder. Apparently this was quite difficult to build up… but as TCT suggested, it would be a great use for edible ink pens! I first saw these on this website and thought… cute, but what would you use them for!? This would be perfect! Or if you’re feeling brave, you could try dipping into dark melted chocolate. Any way you do it, I doubt these cute little guys would be around long…
