The clue really is in the name with this recipe – these are quick flatbreads because there’s no need to prove this particular dough. You pretty much just mix it up, knead it briefly, roll them out, fling them in a frying pan, and they’re ready. There’s a trade off however, being that due to… Continue reading Quick flatbreads

Cinnamon rolls
Well these lasted all of about 5 minutes before they’d all been scoffed, they are THAT GOOD. They take a bit of effort, time wise, but there’s no crazy equipment or skills needed. The trick is to do most of the work during the day before the day you want to eat them, then in… Continue reading Cinnamon rolls
Hot cross bun loaf
This bread is a-ma-zing, and seriously shouldn’t just be eaten at Easter – feel free to leave off the cross bit and just enjoy the buttery fruity loaf. Yes it takes a bit of effort and time to make, although the actual hands on time isn’t extensive or tricky at all, so I try to… Continue reading Hot cross bun loaf
Deep-pan pizza
Our obsession with lockdown Friday night pizza continues, but as the BBQ is currently broken (where we make crispy thin based pizzas in the summer), we’ve switched to deep-pan pizzas cooked in the oven. As with all doughs this one takes a couple of hours to prove, and I always make a double batch of… Continue reading Deep-pan pizza
Simit
How do you keep 3 small children entertained when traipsing around Istanbul catching up with friends (and when those 3 small children don’t speak Turkish)? Well, according to my parents c1980 you give them some simit and they’ll be happy. Available absolutely everywhere from street stalls and sellers that wander about touting their wares, these… Continue reading Simit
Baguettes
Another Paul Hollywood recipe, because he knows everything there is to know about bread, obvs. I tend to hum along to Fou de Fafa by Flight of the Conchords when making baguettes, or listen to my entire La Belle France playlist that I made a couple of years ago which features classics like Chanson d’Amour,… Continue reading Baguettes
Bloomer
Aka White Bread. This is one of Paul Hollywood’s recipes, and, lets face it, what Paul doesn’t know about bread isn’t worth knowing. It’s amazing what four simple ingredients can make, and this bread is yummy, straightforward and makes wonderful sandwiches and toast. Ingredients 500g strong white bread flour 7g fast action dried yeast 10g… Continue reading Bloomer
Pizza
On Fridays we eat pizza, and this recipe for both dough and sauce works every time. All it takes is a bit of forward planning and (assume your best Tommy Cooper voice) Just Like That you have the makings of a wonderful evening. Just add toppings of your choice, and wine. Oh and this dough… Continue reading Pizza
Pide
If I could only ever eat one type of bread again, it would be Pide. I think its the nigella seeds that do it really, but this bread instantly makes me feel like I’m on holiday in Turkey. And lets face it, pretty much all the time I’d rather be on holiday in Turkey. It’s… Continue reading Pide
Focaccia
A bread recipe that doesn’t need endless kneading? Oh yes indeedy. Be warned however, you need to give yourself a 10-24 hour head start while the dough works its magic. Other than that, its a breeze. Ingredients 400g strong white bread flour 1 tsp fast action dried yeast 1 tsp free flowing salt (for the… Continue reading Focaccia
