Introduction

Strawberry Crunch Cookies offer a delightful combination of sweet, fruity flavors and a satisfying crunchy texture. These cookies are perfect for anyone looking for a fun twist on a classic treat that can brighten up any snack time.

The image shows a stack of two round cookies on a white plate, each cookie with a crumbly golden-brown base dotted with small red pieces inside, topped with a glossy red jelly-like layer in the center. On top of this layer, smooth drizzles of white and light pink icing are spread in parallel lines across the cookies. At the very top of the cookie on the stack, a single fresh raspberry sits, bright red and textured, adding a fresh contrast. The background is a white marbled texture and more similar cookies are blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

500 g flour (Type 550)
10 g salt
5 g dry yeast
350 ml water
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast thoroughly.
Step 2: Add the water and stir until a dough begins to form.
Step 3: Mix in the chopped garlic and olive oil evenly throughout the dough.
Step 4: Cover the dough and let it rest undisturbed for 12 hours to allow fermentation and flavor development.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the number of garlic cloves to suit your taste.
Do not move or disturb the dough during the resting period to ensure proper rise and texture.
Consider adding chopped fresh strawberries or a bit of strawberry jam folded into the dough before baking for an extra fruity note.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crunch. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.

FAQs

Can I use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast?

Yes, you can substitute fresh yeast, but remember to use about three times the amount since fresh yeast is less concentrated than dry yeast.

What if I want to skip the garlic?

You can omit the garlic for a more neutral taste. Adding vanilla or lemon zest can provide a different but lovely flavor instead.
