    No-Bake Nut and Date Bars

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

      • 75g (1/2 cup / 2.6 oz) almonds
      • 50g (1/2 cup / 1.8 oz) walnuts

     

      • 50g (1/2 cup / 1.8 oz) pumpkin seeds
      • 250g (1 and 2/3 cups / 8.8 oz) dates, pitted
      • 100g (1/3 cup / 3.5 oz) peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

     

    • 40g (1/4 cup / 1.4 oz) dried cranberries
    • 1 pinch of salt

    Directions

      1. Toast the Nuts:
        In a skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds for 2 minutes. Add the walnuts and pumpkin seeds, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a plate to cool completely.

     

      1. Prepare the Dates:
        Soak the dates in cold water for 15 minutes to soften them. Drain the water and remove the pits from the dates. Place the dates in a food processor or blender.
      2. Blend the Mixture:
        Add the peanut butter to the dates in the food processor and blend until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky paste. Add the cooled nuts and pulse again, ensuring the mixture remains slightly chunky for texture.
      3. Add Cranberries:
        Soak the dried cranberries in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain. Add the cranberries and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Pulse the mixture briefly, keeping it chunky to maintain the texture.

     

      1. Form the Bars:
        Place the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper. Use a spoon or spatula to press and smooth the mixture into an even, compact layer. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and press down firmly to ensure the bars hold together.
      2. Chill and Cut:
        Transfer the mixture to the freezer and chill for 2-3 hours until firm. Remove from the freezer and cut into bars or squares of your desired size.
      3. Store:
        Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months).

  • Walnut Cinnamon Sweet Bread

    Walnut Cinnamon Sweet Bread

    Walnut Cinnamon Sweet Bread

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

    For the Dough:

      • 200ml lukewarm milk
      • 100ml lukewarm water
      • 5 Tbsp (60g) sugar
      • 1 Tbsp (9g) active dry yeast
      • 2 eggs
      • 1 tsp (4g) salt
      • 700g all-purpose flour

    For the Filling:

      • 200g chopped walnuts
      • 80g sugar
    • Cinnamon to taste (about 1-2 teaspoons, depending on your preference)
    • 200g unsalted butter (softened)

    For the Egg Wash:

    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 Tbsp milk

    Steps:

    1. Prepare the Dough:
      • Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, lukewarm water, 5 tablespoons of sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy and bubbly. This means the yeast is activated and ready to use.
      • Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture to the eggs and stir to combine. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. The dough should start coming together but still be slightly sticky.
      • Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until you get a smooth and elastic dough. The dough should be soft and only slightly sticky but not too wet.
      • Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

    2. Prepare the Filling:
    • Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Set this mixture aside, as it will be the filling for your sweet bread.
    3. Shape the Bread:
      • Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle, about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
      • Spread the Butter: Take the softened butter and spread it evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Add the Walnut Filling: Sprinkle the walnut, sugar, and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Press the filling down lightly with your hands to help it stick to the dough.
    • Roll the Dough: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, making sure to seal the edges by pinching them together.
    4. Final Proof and Egg Wash:
      • Prepare the Baking Pan: Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan, seam-side down. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
    • Preheat the Oven: While the dough is proofing, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
    • Apply the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Gently brush this mixture over the top of the dough to give it a shiny, golden crust during baking.
    5. Bake the Bread:
      • Bake the Sweet Bread: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
    • Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Say Goodbye to Store-Bought Bread: Master the Art of Quick Homemade Bread in Just 5 Minute

    Table of Contents

    Are you tired of running to the store every time you crave fresh bread? Say no more! With this easy and foolproof recipe, you can whip up delicious homemade bread in just five minutes of prep time. No fancy equipment required, just a few simple ingredients and a desire for freshly baked goodness. Let’s dive into the world of baking and discover how you can become a bread-making pro right in your own kitchen.

    Importance of Fresh Yeast

    Ever wondered why your homemade bread doesn’t turn out as fluffy and delicious as you hoped? The secret lies in the yeast! Using fresh, active dry yeast is crucial for achieving that perfect rise and texture in your bread. Stale or inactive yeast can leave your bread flat and uninspiring. So, always ensure you have fresh yeast on hand and store it properly in the refrigerator to maintain its potency.

    Gathering Your Ingredients

    • 5.5 cups of flour
    • 562.5 ml (2 1/4 cup) of water
    • 2 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast
    • 1/4 cup of sugar
    • 2 tbsp. of olive oil
    • 1 tbsp. of salt
    • Butter (optional, for topping)

    Mixing and Kneading the Dough

    Now that we have our ingredients ready, it’s time to get our hands dirty (literally)! Start by dissolving the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. This step ensures that the yeast is activated and ready to work its magic. Once foamy, mix in the flour, sugar, olive oil, and salt until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead the dough until it’s elastic and springs back when touched.

    Letting the Dough Rise

    Patience is key when it comes to bread-making. Allow your dough to rise for about an hour in a warm, draft-free environment. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. During this time, the yeast will work its magic, causing the dough to double in size and develop those desirable pockets of air that give bread its light and airy texture.

    Shaping Your Bread

    Once your dough has doubled in size, it’s time to shape it into loaves. Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each into a rectangle about 20 cm wide. Starting from the shortest side, roll the dough into cylinders to create your loaves. Place them in oiled molds, cover, and let them rise for another hour.

    Second Rise and Preparing to Bake

    As your loaves undergo their second rise, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Once they’ve doubled in size again, brush the tops with melted butter for added flavor and a golden finish. This step is optional but highly recommended for that extra touch of indulgence.

      • Instant Yeast: 2 tsp (6 g)
      • Fresh Milk (lukewarm): 1 cup (240 ml)
      • Cooking Oil: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
      • All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups (405 g)
    • Salt: 1/2 tsp (3 g)

    Instructions:

    Mix Egg and Sugar:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until well combined.

    Activate Yeast:

      • Add the instant yeast to the lukewarm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy to ensure the yeast is active.

    Combine Wet Ingredients:

      • Pour the activated yeast mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
      • Add the cooking oil and whisk until combined.

    Form Dough:

      • Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture.
      • Mix and knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms. This should take about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer.

    First Rise:

    • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (approximately 1-2 hours).

    Shape Dough:

      • Punch down the risen dough to release excess air.
      • Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and shape them into rolls or desired shapes.
      • Place the shaped dough in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each roll for expansion.

    Air Fry:

      • Air fry at 125°C (260°F) for 10 minutes. If your air fryer allows, preheat it beforehand.
      • Note that the bread may brown only on top due to the air fryer’s heating element. For even browning, flip the rolls halfway through cooking.
    • Check for doneness; the rolls should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

    Serve:

      • Let the bread cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as a side for soups and stews.

    Serving Suggestions:

      • Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey for a simple treat.
      • Pair with scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast.
      • Use as sandwich buns for burgers or sliders.
      • Serve as a side with soups or stews for a comforting meal.
      • Slice and toast for a quick snack with your favorite spread.

    Cooking Tips:

      • Ensure the milk is lukewarm (not hot) to activate the yeast effectively without killing it.
      • Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten for soft and fluffy rolls.
      • Allow the dough enough time to rise; a warm spot in your kitchen works best.
      • Test your air fryer to determine the best cooking time, as models vary.
      • Brush the rolls with melted butter or milk before air frying for a glossy finish.

    Nutritional Benefits:

      • Milk: Adds protein and calcium, contributing to the soft texture.
      • Egg: Provides structure and adds richness.
    • Olive Oil: Contains healthy fats that keep the bread moist.
    • Flour: A good source of carbohydrates for energy.

    Cooking Tips:

      1. Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour mixture to ensure soft and fluffy muffins.
      2. Make sure the cream cheese filling is fully frozen before using to prevent it from melting too much while baking.

     

    1. Grate the carrots finely for the best texture in the muffins.
    2. Use fresh orange juice and zest for a bright, citrusy flavor.
    3. Let the muffins cool slightly before serving to avoid burning from the cream cheese filling.
