    Irresistible Oven-Roasted Pork — Bursting with Flavor

    Irresistibly Flavorful Roasted Pork

    A tender, marinated pork roast with bold, aromatic flavors and a golden, crispy finish.


    Ingredients

    For the Pork:

    • 2.5 kg pork (loin or shoulder preferred)

    • 4 cloves garlic, crushed or finely minced

    • 2 tbsp white vinegar

    • Juice of ½ lemon

    • ½ large onion, finely chopped

    • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    • Salt, to taste

    • ½ cup chimichurri sauce (see recipe below)

    Optional Garnish:

    • Fresh parsley or coriander

    • Extra chimichurri for serving


    Homemade Chimichurri Sauce (for marinade and serving)

    Ingredients:

    • ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

    • 3 garlic cloves, minced

    • 1 tsp dried oregano

    • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)

    • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

    • Juice of ½ lemon

    • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Instructions:

    1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.

    2. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to develop.

    3. Divide: Use half for marinating and reserve the other half for serving.


    Preparation Guide

    Step 1: Prepare the Meat

    1. Rinse and pat dry the pork. Remove any excess fat if desired.

    2. Use a sharp knife to make deep incisions all over the pork roast—about 2 to 3 cm deep. These help the marinade penetrate the meat and add flavor inside.

    3. Place the pork in a large bowl or baking dish.


    Step 2: Season the Meat

    1. In a small bowl, mix the crushed garlic, black pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar.

    2. Rub this mixture into the pork thoroughly, working it into the cuts.

    3. Spread the chopped onion over and under the pork.

    4. Spoon or brush chimichurri sauce over the entire pork roast, making sure it’s well coated.


    Step 3: Marinate

    • Minimum: Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.

    • Best: Cover the pork with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12–24 hours to intensify flavor. Turn the meat halfway through marinating for even coverage.

    • Before baking, bring the pork to room temperature for 30 minutes if it was refrigerated.


    Cooking the Pork

    Step 4: Roast

    1. Preheat your oven to 280°C (536°F). This high heat helps form a golden crust.

    2. Transfer the marinated pork to a baking dish or roasting pan.

    3. Cover with aluminum foil to trap moisture and tenderness.

    4. Roast for 2 hours, covered.


    Step 5: Crisp & Brown

    1. Remove the foil after 2 hours.

    2. Increase the oven temperature to 290°C (or switch to broil mode if available).

    3. Roast uncovered for 15–25 more minutes until the pork is crispy and golden on the outside.

    4. Use a meat thermometer: internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F) in the thickest part.


    ⏱️ Final Steps

    Step 6: Rest the Meat

    • Remove the pork from the oven and cover loosely with foil.

    • Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside, ensuring moist, flavorful meat.


    ️ Serving Suggestions

    Serve the roasted pork sliced thick with:

    • Roasted vegetables (carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions)

    • Mashed potatoes or cauliflower puree

    • A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette

    • Warm chimichurri sauce drizzled over each portion


    Tips for Success

    • Customize the Chimichurri: Add fresh cilantro, shallots, or a touch of paprika for a unique twist.

    • Make Ahead: Marinate the pork a day before for better depth of flavor.

    • Batch Cooking: Leftovers are excellent in sandwiches, tacos, or grain bowls.


    Storage & Reheating

    • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

    • Freezer: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

    • Reheat: Rewarm in the oven at 150°C (300°F) covered with foil, or microwave with a splash of broth.

    1. Wash the eggplants thoroughly.

    2. Slice into 3 mm rounds.

    3. Place slices in a bowl of salted water and cover with a plate or weight to keep submerged. Let soak for 20 minutes to reduce bitterness.

    4. Drain and pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel.

    Step 2: Grill the Eggplants

    1. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan.

    2. Grill the slices on both sides until golden. To save time, use two pans at once.

    3. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

    Step 3: Assemble the Eggplant Cake

    1. In a baking dish, arrange the first layer of grilled eggplant slices.

    2. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    3. Pour evenly over the layered eggplants in the baking dish.

    4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

    Step 5: Bake

    1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).

    2. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.

    3. Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.

    Step 6: Serve

    1. Let the dish rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the layers set and intensifies the flavors.

  • Pistachio Mango Ice Cream (No-Churn Option Included)

    Pistachio Mango Ice Cream (No-Churn Option Included)

    Pistachio Mango Ice Cream (No-Churn Option Included)

    This recipe offers a delightful blend of sweet, tropical mango and the nutty, slightly earthy flavor of pistachios, resulting in a vibrant and creamy ice cream.

    Yields: Approximately 1 quart (about 6-8 servings) Prep time: 20-30 minutes Chill time: At least 4-6 hours (or overnight) Freezing time: 4-8 hours (depending on method)

    Ingredients:

    • For the Mango Puree:

      • 2 ripe mangoes (about 2 cups of chopped mango flesh), preferably Alphonso or Ataulfo for best flavor and color
      • 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to mango sweetness)
      • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (to brighten flavor and prevent browning)
    • For the Ice Cream Base:

      • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy cream (cold)
      • 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk (cold)
      • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but enhances flavor)
      • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, but pairs beautifully with mango and pistachio)
      • ½ cup (about 60g) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (plus extra for garnish)
      • Pinch of salt (enhances sweetness)

    Equipment:

    • Blender or food processor
    • Large mixing bowl
    • Electric mixer (stand or hand mixer) or whisk
    • Freezer-safe container (loaf pan or airtight container works well)
    • Parchment paper or plastic wrap

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Mango Puree: * Peel the mangoes and chop the flesh into chunks. * Place the mango chunks in a blender or food processor. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (start with 1 and add more if your mangoes aren’t very sweet) and the lemon juice. * Blend until you have a very smooth puree. Set aside and let it chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cream base.

    2. Prepare the Pistachios: * If your pistachios are not already roasted and salted, you can lightly toast them in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Let them cool completely. * Roughly chop the pistachios. You want some larger pieces for texture. Set aside.

    3. Make the Ice Cream Base (No-Churn Method): * In a large, chilled mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy cream. * Using an electric mixer (with whisk attachment) or a hand whisk, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. Be careful not to overbeat, or it will become grainy. * In a separate bowl, combine the cold sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract (if using), ground cardamom (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well. * Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. * Then, add the remaining whipped cream and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream. * Add the chilled mango puree to the cream mixture and gently fold it in until streaks of mango are incorporated throughout, creating a beautiful swirl or uniform pale yellow color. * Fold in about half of the chopped pistachios. Reserve the other half for layering/garnish.

    4. Freeze the Ice Cream: * Pour half of the ice cream mixture into your freezer-safe container. * Sprinkle some of the remaining chopped pistachios over this layer. * Pour the rest of the ice cream mixture into the container. * Sprinkle the remaining pistachios on top for garnish. * Press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. * Cover the container with a lid or another layer of plastic wrap. * Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.

    5. Serve: * Before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. * Scoop into bowls or cones. You can add a few extra chopped pistachios or a thin slice of fresh mango as an optional garnish.

    Tips for Best Results:

    • Use ripe mangoes: The sweetness and flavor of your ice cream heavily depend on the quality of your mangoes.
    • Chill ingredients: Ensure your heavy cream and condensed milk are very cold for best whipping results. You can also chill your mixing bowl and whisk for 10-15 minutes before whipping the cream.
    • Don’t overmix: Overmixing the whipped cream or folding in the ingredients too vigorously can deflate the air, leading to a less creamy ice cream.
    • Pistachio preference: For a stronger pistachio flavor, you can briefly blend some of the pistachios into a paste with a tiny bit of the condensed milk before adding it to the mixture.
    • Ice Cream Maker Method (Alternative): If you have an ice cream maker, follow steps 1 and 2. Then, whisk together the cold heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, cardamom, and salt. Add the chilled mango puree and mix well. Churn in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fold in the chopped pistachios during the last few minutes of churning or after churning. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-4 hours until firm.
  • Chocolate-Banana Smoothie (with Peanut Butter option)

    Chocolate-Banana Smoothie (with Peanut Butter option)

    Chocolate-Banana Smoothie (with Peanut Butter option)

    This rich and creamy smoothie is a delicious and satisfying treat, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even a healthy dessert. The combination of chocolate and banana is a classic for a reason!

    Yields: 1-2 servings Prep time: 5 minutes

    Ingredients:

    • 2 ripe bananas, preferably frozen (peel and slice before freezing for best results) – Frozen bananas are key for a thick, cold smoothie.
    • 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powderAdjust to your desired chocolate intensity. Start with 2 and add more if you like it darker.
    • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, e.g., almond milk, soy milk, oat milk) – Add more if you prefer a thinner consistency.
    • 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) – Optional, but highly recommended for the “Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie” experience. You can also use almond butter or another nut butter.
    • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (optional, e.g., maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, or a few pitted dates) – Ripe bananas add natural sweetness, so taste before adding extra.
    • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, if not using frozen bananas or for extra chill)
    • Pinch of salt (enhances chocolate flavor)

    For Garnish (Optional, as shown in image):

    • Sliced fresh banana
    • Mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
    • A few whole coffee beans (for visual appeal, not necessarily for eating)
    • Shaved chocolate or chocolate chunks

    Equipment:

    • Blender

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare your bananas: If you’re not using pre-frozen bananas, peel and slice your ripe bananas and freeze them for at least 2-4 hours, or until solid. This is crucial for a thick, cold smoothie without needing too much ice which can dilute the flavor.
    2. Combine ingredients in blender: Add the frozen banana slices, cocoa powder, milk, peanut butter (if using), sweetener (if using), and a pinch of salt to your blender.
    3. Blend until smooth: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Use the tamper if your blender has one, or stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
      • Tip: If the smoothie is too thick and your blender is struggling, add a splash more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it blends smoothly. Avoid adding too much milk at once to maintain thickness.
    4. Check consistency and taste: Once smooth and creamy, taste the smoothie. Add more cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor, more sweetener if desired, or more milk for a thinner consistency.
    5. Pour and Garnish: Pour the chocolate-banana smoothie into glasses.
    6. Garnish and serve immediately: Top with fresh banana slices, mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs, and any other desired garnishes as seen in the image. Enjoy immediately while cold.

    Tips & Variations:

    • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite chocolate or plain protein powder for an extra boost.
    • Hidden Veggies: For an extra nutritional punch, try adding a handful of spinach (you won’t taste it!).
    • Extra Creaminess: A tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds can add thickness and omega-3s. Allow the smoothie to sit for a few minutes for the seeds to absorb liquid.
    • Spiced Smoothie: A tiny pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract can elevate the flavors.
    • Coffee Kick: Add 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee granules or a shot of cooled espresso for a mocha-banana smoothie.
    • Thick Smoothie Bowl: Reduce the milk slightly to create a thicker consistency suitable for a smoothie bowl, then top with granola, fruit, nuts, and seeds.

  • Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

    Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

    Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

    This recipe makes a delicious, refreshing, and healthy smoothie, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a light meal.

    Yields: 2 servings Prep time: 5 minutes

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
    • 1 ripe banana, fresh or frozen (if using fresh, you might want to add a few ice cubes)
    • 1/2 to 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, or oat milk), adjust for desired consistency
    • 1-2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess and protein)
    • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness, adjust to taste)
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)
    • A few ice cubes (if using fresh fruit and you want a colder, thicker smoothie)

    Equipment:

    • Blender
    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Serving glasses

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the fruit: If using fresh strawberries, hull them. If using a fresh banana, peel it and break it into a few pieces. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw completely.
    2. Combine ingredients in blender: Add the strawberries, banana, 1/2 cup of milk, and Greek yogurt (if using) to your blender.
    3. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
    4. Adjust consistency and sweetness: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon at a time, and blend until combined. Add vanilla extract if desired and blend briefly.
    5. Add ice (if needed): If you used fresh fruit and want a colder, thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend until completely smooth and no ice chunks remain.

    Tips for the Best Strawberry Banana Smoothie:

    • Use frozen fruit: For an extra thick and cold smoothie without diluting the flavor, use frozen strawberries and/or a frozen banana. You might need less or no ice if using all frozen fruit.
    • Adjust milk: The amount of milk you use will depend on how thick or thin you like your smoothie. Start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed.
    • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or even a pitted date) to your preference. Ripe bananas are naturally sweet, so you might not need much added sweetener.
    • Boost the nutrition:
      • Add a handful of spinach (you won’t taste it!).
      • Include a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for omega-3s and fiber.
      • Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein boost.
    • Make ahead: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the fruit and store it in the freezer in individual bags for quick blending later.

  • Fried Rice That’s Even Better Than Restaurant Takeout

    Fried Rice That’s Even Better Than Restaurant Takeout

    Ingredients:
    3 eggs, whisked gently

    1 big carrot, peeled and cut into small pieces.

    2 teaspoons of sesame oil

    1 little white onion, diced

    3 pieces of garlic, finely chopped

    1 cup of frozen peas

    3 tablespoons of butter, separated.

    4 green onions cut into small pieces

    1/4 cup of soy sauce (and add more if needed)

    3 teaspoons of oyster sauce

    4-5 cups of cooked and cold rice

    Salt and pepper.

    Instructions:

    PREPARATION:

    Heat a big pan or wok on medium heat. The author mentions using both a nonstick and a regular pan, but they lean towards using a nonstick pan for cooking this rice. Put one tablespoon of butter in the pan. After the butter has melted, put in the eggs that have been lightly beaten. Let them cook for around 30-40 seconds or until they are firm, then mix them. Once the eggs are done cooking, take them out and put them to the side.

    Put the rest of the butter in the pan. When it’s hot, add the carrot and onion. Cook until they are soft. Then, add the garlic and cook until it smells good, being careful not to let it turn brown. Increase the temperature a little and put in the leftover rice and peas.

    1f538 4 tbsp. of neutral oil (sunflower or grapeseed)

    2️⃣ Fill with mozzarella
    • Place a slice of mozzarella in the center of each cutlet.
    • Lightly salt and pepper around the cheese.
    • Fold the cutlet into a wallet, pressing down to seal.

  • Can Onion Juice Really Help Your Vision? Here’s the Truth (And a Safe Way to Try It)

    Can Onion Juice Really Help Your Vision? Here’s the Truth (And a Safe Way to Try It)

    Can Onion Juice Really Help Your Vision? Here’s the Truth (And a Safe Way to Try It)
    You’ve probably seen those viral claims:

    “Drink onion juice for five days and your eyesight will magically improve!”

    It sounds a little far-fetched—like something straight out of a kitchen remedy myth.
    But before you dismiss it entirely, there’s actually some truth hidden beneath the hype.

    Let’s peel back the layers (yes, pun intended ) and take a calm, realistic look at what onion juice can actually do for your eyes—and how to try it safely.

    Why Onions Might Be Good for Your Eyes
    Onions may not look like your typical superfood, but they’re packed with natural compounds that gently support overall eye wellness. Here’s what makes them interesting:

    1. Quercetin – Your Eye’s Anti-Inflammatory Ally
    Quercetin is a plant antioxidant found in onions that helps calm inflammation, including around the eyes. Early research links it with support for:

    Dry or irritated eyes
    Age-related eye stress
    General eye fatigue
    By reducing oxidative stress, quercetin can play a subtle role in eye comfort.

    2. Sulfur Compounds – Natural Detox Support
    Onions contain sulfur-based compounds that help the body produce glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants. This helps your eyes deal with environmental stress over time.

    3. A Touch of Vitamin C
    While not a Vitamin C powerhouse, onions still contribute to your daily intake. This vitamin helps with:

    Tissue repair
    Immunity
    Keeping minor eye irritations at bay
    Can Drinking Onion Juice Improve Vision in 5 Days?
    Let’s keep it real: onion juice won’t fix your eyesight overnight or reverse serious eye conditions in a week.

    But here’s what regular use may help with:

    ✅ Reducing minor inflammation
    ✅ Supporting circulation to the eyes
    ✅ Easing occasional eye strain or dryness

    If your eyes feel tired from screen time or dryness, this natural juice might offer gentle support—especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

    ⚠️ Please Note: Do Not Put Onion Juice in Your Eyes
    Let’s be super clear:
    Never apply raw onion juice directly into your eyes.

    It may burn, irritate, or even damage sensitive eye tissues.
    All potential benefits come from drinking the juice—not applying it topically.

    How to Make Onion Juice (The Safe Way)
    If you’re curious to try it, here’s a simple, sippable version of onion juice that’s safe to drink:

    8 Surprising Benefits of Sleeping on Your Left Side (Backed by Science & Ancient Wisdom)
    8 Surprising Benefits of Sleeping on Your Left Side (Backed by Science & Ancient Wisdom)
    Ingredients:
    ½ raw onion (red or white)
    ½ cup warm water
    1 tsp raw honey (optional)
    Directions:
    Grate or blend the onion to extract juice.
    Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
    Mix 1–2 teaspoons of onion juice into the warm water.
    Stir in honey for taste (optional).
    Drink it on an empty stomach in the morning for 3–5 days.
    Repeat daily—but always listen to your body. Start small and observe how you feel.

    Don’t Love the Taste? Try These Alternatives
    If drinking onion juice isn’t your thing (totally fair!), here are other ways to benefit:

    ✅ 1. Onion-Based Supplements
    Look for quercetin or onion extract capsules—less smell, same antioxidant support.

    ✅ 2. Herbal Vision Tonics
    Some natural blends combine onion, turmeric, garlic, or green tea—designed to gently support eye health.

    ️ 5 Bonus Habits to Support Eye Wellness Daily
    Pair your onion juice (or supplement) with these small, eye-friendly habits:

    Eat More Leafy Greens – Rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two key nutrients for vision.
    Hydrate – Dehydration can dry out your eyes. Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
    Try the 20-20-20 Rule – Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
    Get Enough Sleep – Your eyes need downtime to repair. Aim for 7–8 hours.
    ️ Wear Sunglasses – Even on cloudy days. UV exposure adds up over time.

    It’s a gentle support, not a miracle cure
    It works best when paired with good habits
    Never apply it to your eyes—drink it instead

    Fruit pie

    Learn how to make a quick fruit pie that doesn’t require an oven, is ready in no time, and is extremely creamy and refreshing.

    Ingredients:

      • 300 g milk biscuits or ground cornstarch
      • 130 g melted butter
      • 500 ml of milk
    • 1 tablespoon (ha) of vanilla sugar
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 4 tablespoons of sugar
    • 4 tablespoons of cornstarch (maizena)
    • 1 tablespoon of butter at room temperature
    • Chopped strawberries to taste (you can also use cherries or raspberries)

    Preparation method:

    Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until you get a uniform mixture.

    Note: Crush the cookies in a blender or food processor until you get a flour.

    Place half of the cookie mixture in a round pan, preferably with a removable bottom.

    Press this down with the bottom of a glass to compact and form an even crust.

    Moisten the top of the crust with 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk.

    Tip: If you don’t have a springform pan, line the bottom and sides of a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make it easier to unmold.

    Prepare the filling:

    In a saucepan, combine the vanilla sugar, egg yolk, sugar, cornstarch and milk (500 ml). Mix well.

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and takes on a firm creamy consistency.

    At the end of cooking, add a spoonful of room temperature butter and mix well.

    Pie assembly:

    Pour the filling (cream) over the crust in the pan, add the chopped strawberries and spread the remaining biscuit mixture on top of the fruit.

    Drizzle 4 tablespoons of milk evenly over the cookie layer.

    Leave the pie in the fridge for about an hour to set.

    If desired, garnish with powdered sugar before serving.

     

  • Mix milk with vinegar! Forgotten recipe from the 70s! This is how my grandmother used to make it

    Mix milk with vinegar! Forgotten recipe from the 70s! This is how my grandmother used to make it

    Making homemade bread is an art, but how about giving your traditional recipe a special touch?

    Mixing warm milk with vinegar is the secret to bread with an incredibly soft texture and a flavor that will delight everyone at the table.

    Surprisingly, the vinegar helps activate the yeast, creating a fluffy, airy crumb, while the milk adds smoothness to the dough.

    Follow the step-by-step instructions for this unique recipe and prepare perfect breads for any occasion.

    Ingredients

      • 250 ml warm milk
      • 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar (You can use another vinegar, but red wine vinegar will give the bread a very special touch)
      • 25 g fresh yeast
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
      • 1 egg white
      • 80 ml vegetable oil
      • 1 teaspoon salt
    • Wheat flour (quantity required, as described in the preparation)

      Preparation Method

      1. Activate the Yeast

      1. In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with the wine vinegar.
      2. Add the fresh yeast and vanilla sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes, until the mixture bubbles, a sign that the yeast is activated.

      2. Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients

      1. In a large bowl, mix the flour (start with about 500g and adjust as needed) with the salt.
      2. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, vinegar and yeast mixture.

      3. Incorporate the Liquids

      1. Add the egg white and vegetable oil to the bowl.
      2. Mix with a wooden spoon or with your hands until a homogeneous dough forms.
      3. If the dough is too sticky, add flour little by little until it reaches the desired consistency: soft and slightly sticky.

      4. Knead the Dough

      1. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
      2. Knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth, elastic and a little sticky.

      5. Let it rest

        1. Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl.
      1. Cover with a clean, damp cloth and let rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

      6. Form the Loaves

      1. After the dough has risen, divide it into portions of the desired size.
      2. Shape the bread into balls or small cylinders and place them on a floured baking sheet.

      7. Let It Rest Again

      1. Cover the formed loaves with a cloth and let them rest for another 20-30 minutes.
      2. They should rise a little more before going into the oven.

      8. Bake

      1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
      2. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
      3. Tap the bottom of the loaves lightly; if they sound hollow, they are ready.

      9. Let it cool

      1. Remove the breads from the oven and place them on a rack to cool.
      2. Serve when warm or completely cool.

        Tips for Recipe Success

          • Flour at the right point: Add the flour little by little, always adjusting the texture of the dough.
        • Warm place to rise: If the environment is cold, place the dough inside the turned off oven with a bowl of hot water to create a favorable environment.
        • Even softer breads: You can brush the breads with milk before baking to ensure a softer, golden crust.
        • Adaptations: Try substituting lemon juice for the wine vinegar for a flavor variation.
