As we know, baking doesn’t always deliver what we expect and these cakes were made from a chocolate cake which didn’t quite go to plan. The cocoa powder didn’t mix into the raw cake batter, my cake was a little heavy but rather than throw the chocolate sponge away I cut out tiny rounds and…
We never bought stollen when I was a child, growing up or when I was a young adult. I’m not sure I even knew what it was, maybe it was something only posh people were aware of and ate at Christmas time. I lived in a small market town and maybe it had yet to…
There’s nothing more satisfying than making a batch of bread rolls and pulling them apart to reveal their light fluffy interior. I cut these in half, spread mayonnaise over and filled mine with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, home made beef burger, and melted some cheese over the burger. Yum. These are perfect rolls for beef burgers…
There is nothing quite like making your own bread. I’ve never been one to break out into a sweat kneading bread dough and any piece of kitchen equipment that helps make life easier is okay by me. I find it easier to make the bread dough in the evening and then place the covered dough…
The crust on this bread took me by surprise! One of the ladies on the Thermomix forum gave me a few hints and tips on how to bake bread in a casserole dish and for my first attempt I was more than a tad pleased. I think on this occasion the crust was the star…
Hooray! My raspberries didn’t sink – joy of joys. This cake has been very kind to me, it was moist, has a tender crumb, is full of lovely flavours and I used the last of the autumn raspberries. It’s an all in one cake mix, which means less time spent in the kitchen if you…
This is a very straightforward pizza, a standard pizza dough topped with organic tinned chopped tomatoes and grated mozzarella. The original recipe says to knead for 2 minutes but that’s not long enough, knead for 4 minutes and you’ll end up with a fabulous dough. Ingredients: Dough Topping Method Place water, sugar and yeast into…
Bread making in the Thermomix is so easy and homemade bread is one of my life’s pleasures. I’m never going to knead and pummel bread dough by hand it’s just too hard work and I like to let one of my kitchen gadgets do all the hard work. I made these bread rolls with fresh…
I’ve never made so much bread since owning my Thermomix. It takes only a few minutes to make the most amazing bread dough. I don’t think I’ve bought bread for many a year, this isn’t entirely due to my newest kitchen gadget because previously I used my bread maker to make complete loaves of bread…
I’ve been away on holiday to the wonderful island of Madeira, we had amazing food at our hotel and I especially loved the vast choice of desserts but now it’s back to every day home cooking and salad, salad and more salad! I made these bread rolls before I went away on holiday. I used…
