for fabulously frugal food
The milk makes this a lovely soft bread, the tomatoes and chives make it very flavoursome. Can be enjoyed just as it is, especially still warm from the oven. Or have it with soup, with butter, or not, or a sliver of cheese.
A couple of very quick things for you today. Super simple. Do you remember I bought some big bags of wonderful sun dried tomatoes from Healthy Supplies. They taste wonderfully fresh and tangy, the best I’ve had. If you can afford the initial outlay, they are a great...
These are just some of the things I have made using Magic Dough. I’m sure there will be others!
Tried something a little different today. I have a huge bag of stuffing mix from Approved Foods that isn’t being used up very quickly, so I am thinking about how I can use more of it. I wondered what it would be like used as part of the mix when making bread rolls. I...
Experimenting with wholemeal flour, sparkling water and no yeast to make a very nice loaf
Made the carrot soup for Mike’s lunch today (I’m back on the diet and had something different), and some tomato flavoured rolls to go with it using the sparkling water loaf recipe from a few days ago. This time I used the same ingredients as for the stripped back loaf...
I started off with lentil flour and ended up with a superb, no knead, no yeast loaf made with fizzy water, via beer bread
Chapatti To make a batch of chapatti, I used the recipe from the back of the sack of flour. Mix 300g of chapatti or wholemeal flour with enough cold water to make a stiff dough. They didn't say to add any salt, so I didn't. Knead for 3 or 4 minutes, place in a bowl,...
We are always treated to lovely coffee and something interesting to nibble at U3A meetings. Today the nibble was a little pastry tartlet filled with leftover breadcrumbs, a little onion and a smidgen of anchovy. It was divine!
Walked round the block today, and didn’t cough once! Hooray, progress. Do you remember the primrose that had been flowering continually for about three years now? That’s it at the top of the page, lovely isn’t it, in all it’s spring finery. Really going for it now, in...
If I said to you I was going to bake a loaf, what would you think of? I would think of mixing flour, water, yeast and salt, giving the dough a good mix, leaving it to prove, knocking it back, shaping it, leaving for a second rise, then baking it in a hot hot oven....
A little experiment today with the fridge dwelling Magic Dough. I thought I could almost certainly make crumpets with it. So I put a little in a bowl and beat in some water, so it looked like a Yorkshire pudding batter, greased some rings and poured a little batter...
