In Amsterdam, around all the coffee shops are little bakery stands that sell belgian waffles. The yeast ones where the pearl sugar melts and forms a thin caramelized crust on the outside of the waffle. Then they put chocolate on one side or with a little more powdered sugar and sell them all sorts of different ways. Needless to say I was a fat kid who ate them all.
1/3 c Warm water
1½ tbs Sugar
1/8 tsp Salt
2 c Bread flour
3 Eggs
1 c Butter, softened
1 c Pearl sugar
1/2 c Fuji Apple, diced apple
Mix yeast, water, and sugar and let develop for 15 minutes.
Place flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well, pour in yeast mixture, and begin to knead. Continue to knead, add eggs, one at a time, and add soft butter mixing well. Let dough rest in bowl until doubled.
Gently mix in pearl sugar and apple. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Heat waffle iron. When hot, butter waffle iron, pour in 3 tablespoons dough per waffle. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until waffles lightly brown on top.
