Squid Ink Milk Bread

Red Pepper Garnish

Method

Squid Ink Milk Bread

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, squid ink, and beaten egg until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Bread

    Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Allow it to cool before slicing.

Beef Tartare

  1. 8

    Prepare the Beef

    Finely chop the beef tenderloin using a sharp knife. Ensure that it is cut into very small pieces.

  2. 9

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the chopped beef, capers, shallot, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Mix gently.

  3. 10

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  4. 11

    Add Egg Yolk

    Carefully incorporate the egg yolk into the tartare mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

  5. 12

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a round cookie cutter, plate the tartare mixture on a serving plate.

Red Pepper Garnish

  1. 13

    Prepare the Red Pepper

    Roast the red bell pepper over an open flame or in the oven until the skin is charred. Let it cool, peel off the skin, and slice it thinly.

  2. 14

    Finish the Garnish

    Drizzle the sliced red pepper with olive oil and season with salt to taste.

  3. 15

    Serve

    Arrange the roasted red pepper slices around the beef tartare on the plate for garnish.
