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 never had anything other than success making dough in the breadmaker and find most recipes work out absolutely fine, I just keep an eye out to see if the dough needs more water adding. If you’ve not used your breadmaker for a while, I guarantee this is a recipe you will make time and…
Bread makers are perfect for making bread dough – from adding a few ingredients to the pan, setting the menu and getting the finished dough out of the pan it took less than an hour. When the dough was ready I rolled it out to fit into a non-stick tray which I sprinkled with semolina…
I’m experimenting with the Thermomix TM5 and comparing it to my other kitchen gadgets, halving the quantities in a bread recipe was this weeks project. It’s certainly a great machine for mixing and kneading the dough but if you’re contemplating buying one please be aware that you can’t leave the machine unattended whilst it’s mixing…
I love homemade focaccia and walnuts in bread always work well. The dough uses a mix of strong white bread flour, OO Italian pasta flour and mashed potato from a baked jacket potato, this produced a very light crumb. The baked focaccia is lovely dipped into extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Any leftover…
