My ‘Super Quick Pizza Base’ can be made in five minutes, but the texture is inferior as it is made with baking powder. Today I wanted to make a nice crusty Pizza Base quickly. This ‘Easy Pizza Base’ took me 30 minutes, mostly waiting time, and it was nice and crusty. You can easily multiply …
I used to enjoy kneading the bread dough. These days I try to avoid kneading the dough because my hands are sore. The other day I wanted to make soft Milk Bread, and I decided to make it using my No-Knead method. I used Plain Flour that has lowest amount of gluten. I was very …
When I heard that ‘Chebureki’, Deep-fried Meat Stuffed Pastry, is a very popular street food in Ukraine, I wanted to taste them. As it is very difficult to visit the country, I decided to make them by myself. ‘Chebureki’ were delicious, and I have shared my easy recipe on this website. However, since I had …
I make ‘1-Hour Focaccia’ when I am in hurry. Using the recipe, you really can make yummy thin bread in 1 hour from scratch. However, when I have a little more time, this ‘Easy Focaccia’ tastes nicer and has a better texture. If you want to impress your guests tonight, it’s not too late to …
I found some leftover Silken Tofu in the fridge. I decided to make Tofu Doughnuts. You need No Egg and No Dairy products to make these doughnuts. Silken Tofu is basically thickened Soy Milk. It can be used for baking a variety of things. Today I coated them with ‘Kinako’ Sugar. ‘Kinako’ is finely ground …
Apple Cake, Apple Pie, Apple Clafoutis, Apple Pancakes, Apple Crumble, … I have made so many Apple desserts and snacks, but I have never tried to add Apple to Doughnuts. So, I tried. First I grated Apple and ended up adding a lot more Flour than I wished to add because of the juice from …
My ‘Panettone Style Sweet Bread’ is easy to make, but it takes time and folding the Mixed Fruit into the dough is not super easy, I admit. Today I tried to make the same Sweet Bread in a different way. I didn’t knead the dough. I just mixed everything together with extra Milk and made …
At Christmas time every year, I wanted to make Panettone, but I have never tried it. Because I didn’t have a suitable cake tin and didn’t want to buy rather expensive Panettone paper cases. The other day, when I was making a soup, I looked at the saucepan and thought it was a good size …
I have been loving ‘Pampushky’, Ukrainian Bread Rolls, since I discovered them. ‘Pampushky’ dough is made with Eggs and they have similar texture to Doughnuts. They can be savoury OR sweet. My ‘Easter Pampushky’ are absolutely delicious. Today I made savoury ones and topped with Cheese and Bacon. I knew they would taste great and …
I wanted to make 100% Oats Bread and I looked for recipes. There are not many recipes for Oats Bread that can be made without Wheat Flour. I tried a recipe but it was a very dodgy one and the dough turned like clay. That failure inspired me to make my own recipe for 100% …
I rarely make Pizza at home, but I make Flammkuchen very often. Flammkuchen is not well known in Melbourne where I live. It’s a pity people don’t know about it. Flammkuchen is sometimes called ‘German Pizza’ and it is quite easy to make at home. Toppings can be anything. Today I made slightly sweet one …
I must credit my friend Shelley for this recipe. The other day, she cooked 4 different Pizzas for my husband and me, and one of them was Mushroom and Black Olive Pizza, that inspired me to make this Flammkuchen. ‘Do not spread fresh Mushrooms over the Pizza base as a fair bit of water comes …
