Bun Round Up
Over the last month members of ‘Fresh From The Oven‘ have been baking my Cinnamon Bun recipe. The FFTO site now shows all the entrants here but I wanted to show you my pick of the bunch. I am delighted that so many people put their own slant on the recipe. After all that’s how recipes are developed […]
Hot Crosses and Big Buns
April 24, 2011
"24 BUNS! What am I going to do with 24 buns?" I asked myself. I didn't know the answer so I decided to make 8 chunky buns and a huge loaf sized one.
Layer Bread
March 28, 2011
I baked these layered rolls, based on a recipe from Richard Bertinet’s ‘Dough’ this morning. We had them for lunch, fresh from the oven, with mozzarella, avocado, tomatoes, pesto and rocket. They are very easy to make as there is no shaping, just some random cutting and stacking. I made two batches of dough to […]
My Polenta Bread
March 5, 2011
This loaf gives you a light, even textured, superbly flavoured bread with a 'not too crusty' crust that's good for toast or sandwiches and lasts for several days.
Khrushchev Dough
January 28, 2011
January’s Fresh From The Oven Challenge is Khrushchev Dough. Apparently this butter rich dough was the favourite bread recipe of the Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev. It was left up to us to decide how to shape and fill the bread. I rolled and stuffed some like Serbian Kiflice, tiny stuffed cheese rolls. I made one third with […]
Kiflice
November 28, 2010
The best way to introduce this post is to let the host of the November Fresh From The Oven Challenge tell you herself: Hi! I’m Maja (pronounced Maya) alias mamajac from Cooks and Bakes, I live in Belgrade, Serbia. I joined FFTO a year ago, and now I’m proud to host the November challenge. I decided […]
Chelsea Bunliness
October 28, 2010
If Wendy from Quirky Cookies wasn’t so lovely I would really be quite cross with her at the moment. Because I really don’t need this temptation. A sweet, doughy, baked delicious thing that I will now end up cooking regularly when really I should be doing other things. A thing that (as has been proven) […]
Polenta Bread
September 28, 2010
It occured to me that some of you may be getting bored of my monthly bread baking posts for Fresh From the Oven. So I will try to keep it brief and breezy but I won’t be offended if you don’t look at it. Stop looking. You don’t need to see this. Are you still here? […]
Brioche
August 28, 2010
Here is the result of August’s Fresh From The Oven baking challenge: Brioche. As the recipe in The River Cottage Bread Guide says it is a very wet dough. It’s a real ‘stir it with a wooden spoon’ job rather than ‘knead it on the worktop.’ Eventually with the addition of a good handful of […]
Not Nut Bread
July 27, 2010
This months Fresh From The Oven bread baking challenge was for a Wholemeal Walnut Bread. I have a confession. I don’t like walnuts. That’s not strictly true. I remember eating a whole bowl full of walnuts whilst staying in a farmhouse in France many years ago. They were straight from the tree outside and we had […]
Cinnamon Buns
June 8, 2010
Check out the bun show It all started with the Kringel that we made for a fresh from the oven challenge. We liked it very much but there was a suggestion that it would be nice with just a bit of icing, …so it was like a big Belgian Bun. This had a couple of […]
Pizza…Doh
May 27, 2010
Thanks go to Lauren from Coffee Muffins blog who chose May’s Fresh From The Oven Challenge. It’s a Pizza Napoletana recipe from Peter Reinhart’s ‘The Bread Baker’s Apprentice’. You need to plan ahead a little for this one as you make the dough the day before you need it. Now I am not usually sure […]
Seedy Loaf
May 8, 2010
There’s nothing very clever about this loaf. I like it because it looks impressive with very little effort. I just make a standard ‘read it off the back of the yeast packet’ bread recipe, although I have tweaked it a bit. I make up the water amount to include an egg yolk and some milk. […]
Croissants
April 27, 2010
I only just got these made in time for the April Bake off for ‘Fresh From The Oven’. This month it was chosen by Corrie from Hot Potato Blog. I was glad it was another recipe from the River Cottage Bread Handbook as I like their recipes and find the book easy to follow, albeit […]
Estonian Kringel – Fresh From The Oven
March 27, 2010
I was really pleased that this was the bread chosen by Jo from Jo’s Kitchen for March’s Fresh From The Oven Baking Challenge. It’s a fabulous looking loaf even before it gets its chocolate topping. In fact when I make it again I am going to add cinnamon to the sugar and leave out the […]
No Knead Bread V2.0
February 27, 2010
I have made this bread almost every week. It gives you a sturdy, crusty loaf, with an almost ciabatta like airiness inside. It is the only loaf I know that crackles as it cools; it's that crusty.
Choccy Buns
January 27, 2010
It’s January. As I write this we are only 9 days into the month and I have already completed this month’s baking challenge for Fresh From The Oven. I’m a good girl I am. I was nervous about starting this challenge it as it look quite complicated but as Eddie Izzard once said you should go towards […]
Super Quick Oatmeal Bread
January 13, 2010
Thanks to Helen from a forkful of spaghetti who added this to her blog yesterday after a few of us asked for the recipe that she mentioned on Twitter. It’s a quick bread, with no yeast, no kneading and takes only 1 hour. Heaven! Go to a forkful of spaghetti for the full details. Here it […]
Last Minuten Stollen
December 28, 2009
This month’s “Fresh From The Oven” challenge was to make a Stollen. Now I have to admit to reservations about this one. Not least that I don’t like marzipan, but I also knew things would be quite hectic on the run up to Christmas and that I would not have chance to get it done. […]
