Ingredients:

Bread flour: 2 ½ cups (320 grams)
Water: ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (210 ml), lukewarm
Brewer’s yeast: 1 tsp. (3 grams) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (2 grams)
Sugar: 1 tsp.
Salt: 1 tsp.

Instructions:

Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water. Make sure the water is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast. Let this mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating that the yeast is activated.

Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture.
Gradually mix the flour with the water, using a spatula or your hands, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes. The goal is to develop the gluten, which will give the bread its structure and elasticity.
The dough should become smooth and elastic by the end of kneading.

First Rise:
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Dough:
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
You can shape it into a round loaf, a baguette-style loaf, or even place it into a bread tin for a more uniform shape.

Second Rise:
Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf tin. Cover it again with a damp cloth and let it rise for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until it has puffed up.

Preheat the Oven:
While the dough is doing its second rise, preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If you want a crispy crust, place a shallow pan of water on the bottom of the oven to create steam while the bread bakes.

Bake the Bread:
Once the dough has risen, make a few shallow slashes on the surface with a sharp knife or bread lame. This helps the bread expand while baking.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
If using a bread tin, the baking time may extend slightly to ensure the bread is fully cooked through.

Cool the Bread:
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. It’s important to let the bread cool before slicing, as this allows the interior to set properly.

Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: Store the bread in an airtight container or a bread bag at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Avoid storing bread in the fridge, as it can dry out faster.
Freezing: If you want to store the bread for longer, you can freeze it. Once cooled, slice the loaf and place the slices in a freezer-safe bag. Bread can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply toast the slices or warm them in the oven.

Cooking Tips:
Use Lukewarm Water: The water should be warm to the touch but not hot, around 38°C (100°F), to help the yeast activate.
Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour for the best results, as too much flour can make the bread dense.
Kneading the Dough: If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour, but avoid adding too much as it can make the bread heavy.
Crust Variations: For a softer crust, you can brush the bread with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven. For a crunchier crust, add the pan of water to the oven as mentioned earlier.
Flavor Additions: This basic bread recipe can be easily customized. You can add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder for extra flavor. Seeds like sesame, flax, or sunflower can also be sprinkled on top for added texture.

Ingredients:

• • 5 eggs
  • Salt – to taste

 

• • 220 g flour
  • 100 ml milk
  • 5 potatoes (medium-sized)

 

• • 5 g baking powder
  • 100 g feta cheese
  • 40 g butter (softened)

 

• • 30 ml olive oil
  • Fresh spring onions – finely chopped (a few sprigs)
  • A bunch of fresh parsley – chopped

 

• • 40 g olives – pitted and chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic – minced
  • 1 red pepper – chopped

 

• • 1 yellow pepper – chopped
  • 1 onion – finely chopped
  • 50 g mozzarella cheese – grated

 

• Baking dish (20cm in diameter)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

• • Start by peeling and boiling the potatoes until they are tender. This should take around 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain the boiled potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, mash them using a potato masher or fork until they are smooth but still have a bit of texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetable Mixture

• • While the potatoes are cooking, heat 30 ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red pepper, yellow pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they soften and begin to caramelize slightly.
  • Once the vegetables are soft and aromatic, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the finely chopped fresh spring onions, chopped parsley, and chopped olives. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Make the Batter

• • In a large bowl, whisk together the 5 eggs and 100 ml of milk until well combined. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Gradually sift in the 220 g of flour and 5 g of baking powder, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

• • Now, fold the mashed potatoes into the egg and flour mixture until well incorporated. The mixture should resemble a thick, pancake-like batter.
  • Gently stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture, mixing until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

 

• Crumble the feta cheese into the mixture and fold it in gently, ensuring you don’t over-mix so that the feta retains its crumbly texture.
• Finally, add the grated mozzarella cheese to the batter and mix lightly.

Step 5: Prepare the Baking Dish

 

• • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Grease a 20 cm baking dish with the softened butter. This helps to prevent the potato cake from sticking and also adds richness to the base of the cake.
  • Pour the potato, vegetable, and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 6: Bake the Potato Cake

• • Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, you can increase the oven temperature slightly to achieve a crispy golden top, but watch it carefully to prevent burning.

Step 7: Serve

• • Once the potato cake is fully baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake set and makes it easier to cut into clean slices.
  • Garnish with extra parsley or spring onions if desired, and serve warm as a main dish or side.

 

Cooking Tips:

• • Cheese Options: Feel free to substitute the feta and mozzarella with other cheeses like goat cheese or cheddar, depending on your taste preferences.
  • Add Proteins: For a non-vegetarian version, you can add small pieces of cooked bacon or ham to the mixture for extra flavor.
  • Herbs: You can experiment with herbs like dill or thyme to give the dish an even more Mediterranean touch.

 

• Extra Vegetables: If you have other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes, you can add them to the mix for added flavor and texture.
• Skillet Cooking: If you don’t have an oven, you can try cooking the potato cake on the stovetop in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Cover it and cook on low heat until the edges are crispy, then carefully flip it over to cook the other side.

Storage:

• • Refrigeration: The potato cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave or warm it in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

 

• Freezing: You can freeze slices of the cake in individual portions by wrapping them in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
