How To Make Self-Rising Flour at Home
I had a different conception of self-rising flour in the past. I always thought it had some sort of proofing agents that are not accessible for the home baker to make at home. I was very wrong, self rising flour is just your usual all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt, nothing more to it. Advantages in […]
Grandma’s cheesecake
I’ve made quite a few cheesecakes over the years, starting from the heavy New York cheesecake, light baked cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake etc. however I always go back to my simple grandma’s cheesecake, because for me this is the winner cheesecake recipe of them all. The idea in this recipe is simple, low-medium fat cheese of […]
Brioche Buns
Brioche is a great rich yeasted French bread, it is very rich in butter and eggs almost resembling a cake texture, so how can you go wrong with brioche buns? you guessed right, you can’t, the only downfall is that it’s hard stopping eating them. I decided to go for the buns version because I’ve been searching for a good […]
Cheese and olive rye bread sticks
When I first made these incredible bread sticks I didn’t believe bread can be so addictive, I mean these cheese and olive bread sticks are just too good. The process for the cheese and olive bread sticks is similar to making regular bread dough, I started with a rye biga, don’t skip this part. In a short proofing dough, […]
Olive oil and Apple cake
I’m always on the look for new apple cakes, I love apples in cakes in every form, size and shape, that’s why this apple and Olive oil and Apple cake (which is available in a few versions on the web) was so appealing to me.

Chocolate Banana bread
When it comes to coffee cakes, the simple pound cakes are my favorite pick, it just comes naturally with coffee rather than the heavy cream cakes, that’s why this chocolate banana bread is my pick for the morning coffee. Although the title is chocolate banana bread, the texture and flavors are definitely towards the pound […]

The name, Vegan spelt crackers, might not sound appealing, you probably thinking of a tasteless cracker that is indeed high in nutritional values but lack the taste, well, these crackers have it all, crispy texture with sesame and […]
Mung beans whole-wheat bread
I know what you have on mind when you hear the title of this, mung beans bread, immediately a dense thick bread image is coming up, not this time. If any, this bread is nothing but dense, it’s airy and tender on the inside with a thick crust on the outside. The mung beans, to be […]
Pão de Queijo (Brazilian cheese buns)
If you’re into cheese roles you will most definitely love the Pão de Queijo, the Brazilian cheese buns. I can’t explain the exact texture of this bread, it’s crispy and airy full of small holes and has a texture of something between a bubble gum and soft brioche, absolutely addictive, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Pão de Queijo basics […]
