Recipes for yeasted baking, breads, rolls, buns, brioche and yeasted pastries
A great alternative, at Easter these Hot Cross Scones have that tradional Easter flavour but with the wonderful scone texture, associated with so many afternoon teas. Having made the traditional Hot Cross Buns for both my blog and my Youtube channel in previous years I decided to try something a little different for this year. […]
Soft bun, fresh cream with strawberry jam and topped with icing. What could be better for afternoon tea? One of the first things I baked when I started my blog in 2014 was Iced Buns. I decided to make them again, this time with a video. I hadn’t intended to make them today, but after […]
Saffron flavoured bun, originating in Cornwall. They are perfect toasted and buttered, or just filled with cream. Cornish Saffron Buns are a traditional bun in the county of Cornwall in England. They were often served to children in church. They were also served at celebrations and anniversaries. They are similar to buns which are very […]
Italians are great foodies. Maritozzi Con la Panna, soft cream buns, are a favourite with them and deservedly so. They are delicious. I do love a soft, slightly sweetened bun, made with an enriched dough. In the past I have made iced buns and have a recipe on the blog for them. Today I decided […]
Bread can be very relaxing to make and bake. This braided Italian loaf, covered with sesame seeds delivers a great texture and lovely flavour to savour after a relaxing day baking. For a very tasty bread I don’t think you can go far wrong if some sesame seeds are sprinkled over the crust. So for […]
Having seen a recipe for Oaty Banana Drop Scones on River Cottage I decided to make a slight variant of them. Drop Scones are similar, if not exactly the same as Scotch Pancakes. They also are very similar to those American pancakes so often enjoyed with maple syrup. These, though, are different in that they have […]
Focaccia, that lovely olive oil enriched bread is always so tasty. Covered with a mix of herbs and and parmesan with cheese in the dough too this one is extra special. Such a great loaf for dipping and as an accompaniment to dinner. I do love focaccia and usually make a large one, with rosemary, […]
English Muffins are great for breakfast, so imagine a loaf of bread for toasting, made to have the same texture and flavour. This is such a great toasting loaf I sometimes wish breakfast would never end. Having recently made some English Muffins, which were very good indeed, I had an idea for a bread that […]
Chelsea Buns, a sweet yeasted dough stuffed full of dried fruits and then drizzled with icing too. That all makes for a delicious bun, sweet and sticky and so very tasty. I made Chelsea Buns about 6 years ago, when I was just starting out on my blog. Today I decided to make them again, […]
It was suggested to me that Norwegian Christmas Bread, known as Jukekake or Julekage would be a great addition to my Christmas baking. So I checked out a few recipes and read up a little on the bread. It is very similar to some other Christmas breads, such as Panettone from Italy, and several other […]
