Oatmeal Bread with Walnuts and Sesame

Ingredients:

Oats: 280 grams (3 cups)

Eggs: 2

Yogur: 250 grams (1 cup)

Baking powder: 2 teaspoons

Salt: Pinch

Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon

Walnuts: Handful, roughly chopped

Black pepper: Pinch (optional)

Oatmeal Bread with Walnuts and Sesame

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This will ensure that your bread bakes evenly and gets a lovely golden crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

Measure the Oats: In a large mixing bowl, add 280 grams of oats (about 3 cups). These oats will serve as the base of the bread and provide a rich, hearty texture.

Add the Baking Powder and Salt: To the oats, mix in 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. The baking powder helps the bread rise, giving it a nice fluffy texture.

Optional – Add Black Pepper: If you want a subtle spice kick, add a pinch of black pepper to the dry mix. This step is optional but adds a nice balance to the sweetness of the oats and walnuts.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Crack the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are well combined. Eggs help to bind the ingredients and give the bread structure.

Incorporate the Yogurt: Add 250 grams (1 cup) of yogurt to the eggs and stir until smooth. The yogurt adds moisture and a slight tangy flavor to the bread, making it soft yet flavorful.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Mix the Wet into the Dry: Pour the egg and yogurt mixture into the bowl with the oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined. The mixture should have a thick, batter-like consistency.

Fold in Walnuts and Sesame Seeds: Add a handful of roughly chopped walnuts and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds to the mixture. G!ently fold them in until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. These add a lovely crunch and nutty flavor to the bread.

Step 5: Prepare the Bread Pan

Grease a Bread Pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan with butter or a non-stick cooking spray. This will ensure that the bread doesn’t stick and is easy to remove once baked.

Step 6: Bake the Oatmeal Bread

Pour the Batter: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Top with Extra Seeds (optional): If you like, sprinkle some extra sesame seeds or chopped walnuts on top for added texture and visual appeal.

Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Cool in the Pan: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled, slice the bread and serve it with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or even avocado. Enjoy

Honey-Cardamom Apple Clafoutis Squares
There’s something irresistible about the fragrant combination of honey, cardamom, and fresh apples baked into a delicate custard. This Honey-Cardamom Apple Clafoutis takes the traditional French dessert and transforms it into convenient squares perfect for serving at brunches, afternoon teas, or as a not-too-sweet dessert. The cardamom adds an exotic, aromatic dimension that elevates this apple-studded treat beyond the ordinary, while the honey contributes natural sweetness and a subtle floral note that perfectly complements the fruit.

Ingredients
For the Batter
2 large eggs
¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (120ml) whole milk
⅓ cup (80ml) honey, plus 1 tablespoon (15ml) for drizzling
3 tablespoons (42g) melted butter, cooled
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Apple Layer
3 medium Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples (about 1½ pounds/680g total)
1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
For Garnish
Powdered sugar for dusting
2 tablespoons (15g) sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides for easy removal later.
Preparing the Apples
Core the apples and slice them thinly (about ⅛ inch thick). You can peel them if preferred, but the skin adds nice color and texture.
Place the apple slices in a bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice to prevent browning and add a touch of brightness to the flavor.
Making the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, about 1 minute.
Add the milk, ⅓ cup honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cardamom, and salt to ensure even distribution of the spice.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Assembling the Clafoutis
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Arrange about half of the apple slices in an overlapping pattern on top of the batter, creating a beautiful layer.
Gently pour the remaining batter over the apples, trying to cover most of them.
Arrange the remaining apple slices on top in a decorative pattern. You can create concentric circles, rows, or any design you prefer.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey evenly over the arranged apples.
If using, sprinkle the sliced almonds across the top for added texture and visual appeal.
Baking
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. The clafoutis is done when the edges are golden brown and puffed up, and the center is set but still has a slight jiggle when the pan is gently shaken.
Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. The clafoutis will deflate slightly as it cools – this is completely normal.
Serving
Once slightly cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the entire dessert out onto a cooling rack.
Allow to cool to room temperature, which will make it easier to cut cleanly.
Just before serving, dust generously with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
Cut into 9 squares and serve alone or with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cooking Tips and Tricks
Apple selection: Choose firm, crisp apples that hold their shape when baked. Honeycrisp and Pink Lady are excellent choices, but Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Jonagold work well too.
Slicing consistency: Try to slice the apples to a uniform thickness so they cook evenly. A mandoline slicer works wonderfully for this if you have one.
Cardamom freshness: Ground cardamom loses its potency quickly. For the best flavor, purchase small quantities or grind your own from cardamom pods.
Batter rest: For an even silkier texture, allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes before pouring it into the baking dish.
Visual cue for doneness: The edges should be golden and set, while the center should be just set but with a slight wobble when gently shaken.
Temperature control: If the top is browning too quickly but the center isn’t set, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
Variations and Substitutions
Fruit Alternatives:
Pear Variation: Substitute firm pears (like Bosc or Anjou) for a delicate flavor that pairs beautifully with cardamom.
Mixed Fruit: Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries scattered among the apple slices.
Stone Fruit: In summer, try this with sliced plums, peaches, or nectarines instead of apples.
Flavor Adaptations:
Spice Blends: Replace the cardamom with cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice for a different flavor profile.
Citrus Twist: Add 1 teaspoon of orange or lemon zest to the batter for a bright citrusy note.
Almond Flavor: Substitute almond extract for half of the vanilla extract and use almond milk instead of whole milk.
Dietary Modifications:
Gluten-Free: Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour.
Dairy-Free: Use a plant-based milk (almond or oat work well) and substitute coconut oil for the butter.
Lower Sugar: Reduce the honey to ¼ cup and use naturally sweeter apples like Fuji or Gala.
Textural Variations:
Nutty Crunch: Add ¼ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture.
Oat Topping: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of rolled oats mixed with a little honey on top before baking.
Caramel Drizzle: After baking and cooling, drizzle with a simple caramel sauce for added decadence.

This quick dinner roll recipe will help you make super soft and fluffy dinner rolls in less than two hours. They have a rich  buttery smell and flavour with a very simple recipe. Add milk to a large mixing bowl, sugar and a teaspoon of yeast.  Add in one egg and softened butter, and make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature.

Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything. For the dry ingredients, you can use  cake flour or all-purpose flour, combine everything until they are well mixed then move the dough to a floured work surface and start to knead it by hand.

The dough will be a little sticky at the beginning but as you continue to knead it, the texture will start to change. Knead the dough until you get a soft and elastic texture that springs back when you press on with your fingers and it is no longer sticky.

You can also check the doneness of your dough with the windowpane test which is to pull a small portion of the dough and stretch it with your hands. It should stretch to form a very thin sheet without tearing. To divide and shape the dough, roll the dough into a log shape then divide the dough into equal pieces.

To roll the dough flatten each of the dough pieces and then tuck in the edges towards the centre and then roll it into the shape of a round ball then place them into a baking dish lined with a parchment paper. Once you are done, cover the tray with a plastic film then let the dough sit and rise in a warm environment for about 60 minutes.

Brush the top of the rolls with egg wash then bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Once done, take the tray out of the oven and let them cool before serving. These will be some of the best dinner rolls you will ever have.

Ingredients;

• 325 g Flour(Bread Flour/All purpose flour) 2 1/2 cups(loosely packed
• 50 g Butter 3 1/2 tbsp
• 1 Egg
• 150 ml Milk 1/2 cup+2 tbsp
• 1 1/4 tsp Salt
• 30 g Sugar 2 1/2 tbsp
• 1 tsp Yeast(instant yeast/active dried yeast)

Instructions;

1. Add all of the ingredients(milk, sugar, yeast, egg butter, salt and flour) into a bowl and mix them to form a shaggy mass of dough.
2. Knead the dough until it is very soft and elastic. A well-kneaded dough will be able to form a thin membrane when pulled and stretched with hands without tearing.
3. Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll them into the shape of a round ball.
4. Cover it with a plastic film and let it sit and rise in a warm environment for 1 hour.
5. After 1 hour the dough balls will be doubled in size.
6. Optionally, you can give an egg wash which will give that shine and golden brown colour to the rolls.
7. Bake at 375F preheated oven for 18-20 minutes.
8. Place the baking tray on the lowest rack so that the tops won’t get browned too fast.

Ingredients:

600g biscuits

120 grams of sugar

250ml milk

10 grams of vanilla sugar

150 grams of butter

60 grams of cocoa powder

100 grams of chocolate

100g cream (33% fat)

Instructions:

Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, milk, vanilla sugar, butter, and cocoa powder. Heat over low heat until everything is melted and well combined, stirring continuously.

Add the crushed biscuits to the mixture and stir until they are fully coated.

Press the mixture into a cake pan or mold, creating an even layer.

In a microwave or on the stovetop, melt the chocolate and cream until smooth. Pour this chocolate ganache over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly.

Refrigerate the cake for a few hours or until it’s set.

Enjoy this quick and no-bake chocolate cake! It’s a real crowd-pleaser!

TIPS

1. Use good quality chocolate: Since chocolate is the star of this cake, using a high-quality chocolate or cocoa powder will make a big difference in the flavor.
2. Add a pinch of salt: A tiny pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavor and balance the sweetness.
3. Chill the cake: After assembling, let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help the layers set and improve the texture. You can even make it ahead of time!
4. Customize with toppings: Get creative with toppings! Crushed nuts, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel or peanut butter can add extra flavor and texture.
5. Use a food processor: If you’re using biscuits or cookies as a base, a food processor will help you crush them to the perfect fine crumb consistency without the mess.
6. Substitute with dairy-free options: You can easily make this cake dairy-free by using non-dairy chocolate, coconut cream, or almond milk.
7. Serve chilled: This cake is best served chilled, so make sure it’s set and firm before slicing.
