Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Instructions

  1. Cut the butter into pieces and leave to soften at room temperature.
  2. Warm the milk and sprinkle the yeast over it. Be careful, the milk shouldnt be hot or it will kill the yeast.
  3. In a big bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Rub in the butter until you get a crumb-like consistency.
  4. Mix in the egg, using a hard spatula.
  5. Slowly add the milk and knead until the dough is smooth, soft and no longer sticky.
  6. Cover with Clingfilm and allow to rest for about 1h30, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  7. Once your dough has risen, tip it onto your working surface and knock the air out.
  8. To shape the Mannele, you can use of the 2 following methods:
  9. 1.divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into logs. Cut one third and roll it to form the head. Using a pair of scissors or a sharp knife, make two oblique cuts into the cylinder, for the arms, and a vertical one at the bottom to cut the legs. Place the head over the shoulders;
  10. 2.roll out the dough with a rolling pin and use a gingerbread man cookie cutter. I used a 14cm/5.5 in. cookie cutter.
  11. Place the Mannele on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Do not put more than 6 Mannele per sheet or theyll stick together during the second rise.
  12. Cover with a towel and let rise for about an hour.
  13. Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.
  14. Beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon milk and brush over the Mannele.
  15. Pin the chocolate chips/sultanas/pine nuts onto the dough for the eyes, buttons and/or other decorations.
  16. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
  17. Cool on a wire rack before eating them with a mug of hot chocolate
  18. Enjoy!
  19. Note: if you are vegan and/or follow a dairy-free and/or gluten-free diet, I would love to have your feedback on the possible substitutions and the results you get. Thank you :-)
