Ingredients
  • 365g All-purpose flour
  • 45ml Sugar
  • 6.25ml Baking powder
  • 6.25ml Bicarbonate of soda
  • 6.25ml Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 430ml Cultured buttermilk
  • 125ml Beer or stout
  • 5ml Vanilla extract
  • 45ml Butter melted

  5. Allow this to fry for 2.5 to 3 minutes until bubbles open on the top of the pancake.

  8. Remove the pancake from the pan and continue with the remaining pancakes. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.

Escargot Melba - Escargot with Garlic, Chilli & Sour Cream on Melba Toast
Author: 
Recipe type: Starter / Appetizer
Cuisine: French
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 4
 
One of my favorite ingredients are snails, however every restaurant seems to the same boring renditions over and over. This recipe gives a new flavor, texture and presentation to what has become an otherwise boring and mundane dish.
Ingredients
  • 24 Escargot
  • 30g Butter
  • 5ml Granulated garlic
  • 2.5ml Chilli flakes
  • 60ml Sour cream
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 4 Slices square loaf white bread
Instructions
  1. To start, we need to make the curly melba triangles. For this you need regular square loaf white bread.
  2. Working with 2 slices at a time, toast the slices in your toaster until they are well browned, then slice of the edges. Keep the edges on one side.
  3. Use your bread knife to cut the 2 crispy sides apart. The center is very soft and the knife will literally slide through.
  4. Turn each piece over and rub the inside surface on the work surface. The moisture in the untoasted side will cause the excess bread to ball up and rub away onto the counter, leaving you with a beautifully thin wafer of toast.
  5. Cut the wafers from corner to corner to make the triangles.
  6. Repeat this until all of the slices are processed.
  7. Place the melba triangles with the untoasted side facing upward onto a large baking sheet.
  8. Toast the melba in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f for about 90 seconds until the triangles have browned slightly and curled up.
  9. Clear the baking sheet and place any remaining triangles on the sheet along with the toast edges.
  10. Pop the sheet back in the oven for 90 seconds.
  11. Remove this from the oven and put the melba and bread batons aside.
  12. Now onto the snails.... remove the snails from the can and drain them in colander. Rinse the snails thoroughly under running water for 5 full minutes. This removes the terrible rancid brine from the snails.
  13. Measure out the dried chilli flakes, garlic granules, cultured sour cream and butter.
  14. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter.
  15. Once the butter is bubbling pour in the snails. Fry the snails gently for 2 minutes.
  16. Add the garlic granules and chilli flakes and continue to fry for a further 60 seconds.
  17. Turn off the gas or remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
  18. To serve the escargot, place 3 triangles of melba on each serving plate.
  19. Top each of these with 2 snails.
  20. Dress each triangle with 2 toast batons and serve immediately.

How to Make Crispy Golden Waffles - Classic Crispy Waffle Recipe
Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
 
Waffles are certainly among the most well known desserts and comfort foods served in high end and low end establishments across the world. Making a waffle is really easy, but making a great waffle takes a couple of extra steps.
Ingredients
  • 285g All purpose flour
  • 10ml Baking powder
  • 2.5ml Salt
  • 15ml Caster sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 105g Butter
  • 360ml Full cream milk
Instructions
  1. Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder and caster sugar into a mixing bowl.
  2. Separate the eggs into 2 jugs, measure out the milk and melt the butter in your microwave.
  3. Pour the egg whites into your processor with whisk attached. Whisk the whites until nice and frothy and the whisk is starting to leave trails in the egg.
  4. Pour the white from the mixer into another bowl.
  5. Return the bowl to the mixer and add the egg yolks. Whisk these for a minute until well mixed then add the milk and melted butter. Stir this in thoroughly.
  6. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir it in briefly. Don't mix this until smooth. You want it to be mixed through but the batter must have a pebbly texture.
  7. Pour in the egg white and fold this in briefly until just combined.
  8. Heat your waffle iron following the manufacturers instructions. When the ready light comes on, pour in the require amount of batter for your machine.
  9. Very shortly after closing the iron large amounts of steam will rise from the machine. This steam will tell you when the waffle is ready, not the lights on the machine.
  10. After a few minutes the steam will almost stop... the waffles are ready to remove. Remove the waffles and continue with the remaining batter.
  11. Whisking the egg whites separately, using extra butter and following the steam signals will have you on the road to awesomely crispy, golden waffles.
  12. This recipe will make 12-16 Belgian style waffles.

Sometimes a good white farm loaf just doesn't make the grade. By simply making a couple of changes you can end up with a beautifully rustic and aromatic bread like this caramelized onion bread.
Ingredients
  • 950g Strong white bread flour
  • 60g Vegetable shortening (Fat), grated
  • 15ml Sugar
  • 10ml Salt

  4. Measure out the white bread flour, milk powder, salt, sugar, granulated garlic and yeast.
  5. Grate the vegetable shortening and add this to the flour.
  6. Place the bowl on your mixer and mix this on low speed until well incorporated.
  7. Add all of the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix this in briefly.
  8. Stir the caramelized onion into the warm water and pour this into the mixer bowl.

  10. Swap out the beater paddle for the dough hook and proceed to knead the dough for 8 minutes on the second to lowest speed.
  11. Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with cling-wrap and allow this to rise in a warm place for 60 minutes.
  12. After the first rise, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
  13. Knead the dough briefly and form it into a log.
  14. Cut the log into 2 equal pieces, and form 2 logs from these.
  15. Transfer these to a parchment lined baking sheet, dust the tops of the loaves with flour and cover them loosely with cling-wrap.
  16. Allow the loaves to rise again for 30 minutes in a warm place.
  17. Bake the loaves in a pre-heated oven at 200c or 400f for 40 to 45 minutes until well browned.

Irish Guinness bread is without a doubt one of the nicest breads I have ever tasted. In addition, it is also one of the simplest breads to make. In fact, even if you have never boiled an egg, you will be able to make Guinness bread.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
  • 250ml Rolled oats
  • 500ml Whole wheat flour
  • 125ml Brown sugar
  • 10ml Baking soda (bicarb)
  • 5ml Baking powder
  • 2.5ml Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 60ml Melted butter
  • 10ml Vanilla extract
  • 250ml Cultured butter milk
  • 360ml Guinness Draught
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir these together until well combined.
  2. In a second mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, vanilla extract, cultured buttermilk and Guinness draught beer.
  3. Use a ball whisk to mix this until well combined, then add the dry ingredients. Mix this together until you have a batter that resembles porridge.
  4. Pour the batter into an 8 inch square non-stick pan. If your pan is not non-stick, give it a good rub-down with butter.
  5. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 220c or 425f for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200c or 400f and continue yo bake for a further 30 minutes.
  6. Let the loaf cool in the oven for 30 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack.
  7. And there we have it, Irish Guinness bread... with a super-crispy and caramelized crust and a soft airy crumb.
  8. This bread is best served warm with a generous dose of butter and honey.

Gourmet Garlic Bread - Crispy, Crusty Garlic Bread with Pancetta & Blue Cheese!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Bread / Baked / Barbecue
Cuisine: French
 
Yesterday we made amazing crusty white farm bread. Today we're going to use one of these loaves to make awesome gourmet garlic bread turbo-charged with creamy melted blue cheese and pancetta.
Ingredients
  • 1 x 36cm / 15 inch Baguette-style farm loaf
  • 60g Butter
  • 5 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 60g Blue cheese
  • 50g Pancetta (Italian bacon) finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Measure out the softened butter and blue cheese, and finely chop the fresh garlic and pancetta.
  2. Add the pancetta and garlic to the butter and blue cheese and mash this in thoroughly until everything is totally combined.
  3. Slice through the loaf of bread at an angle leaving the bottom crust of the loaf intact until the entire loaf is sliced with a space of 15mm or just more than a half inch between slices.
  4. Start filling the slices with the garlic butter mixture. This quantity of mixture is sufficient for one loaf.
  5. Place the loaf on a rectangle of foil and roll the log edge of the foil to enclose the loaf. Twist the ends to secure the foil. Don't twist the ends too tightly as you need to unwrap the loaf while it is hot, and if it is too tightly bound this will be very difficult and possibly dangerous.
  6. Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 180c or 350f for 20 minutes.
  7. Immediately after baking, unwrap the loaf and serve hot and steaming.
  8. You can also bake the garlic bread in your closed barbecue following the same time and temperature. (indirect heat)

Crusty White Farm Bread - How to Make Rustic, Flavorful Bread at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Bread & Dough
 
This rustic farmhouse bread is amazing. It can be free-formed, rolled and baked in the shape of a baguette, or baked in a bread pan. Most amazing though, is the amazing crust.... thick and chewy, with a flavor from heaven.
Ingredients
  • 950g Strong white bread flour
  • 60g Butter, grated
  • 15ml Sugar
  • 10ml Salt
  • 12.5ml Instant yeast
  • 30ml Milk powder
  • 600ml Warm Water
Instructions
  1. Measure out the flour, grate the butter and measure the salt, sugar, milk powder, instant yeast and warm water.
  2. Place the mixer bowl on your stand mixer and add the grated butter. Attach the beater paddle to the mixer for this stage.
  3. Run the mixer on low speed for 60 seconds until the butter has been rubbed into the flour.
  4. Add all of the remaining dry ingredients and mix these in until well combined.
  5. Pour in the warm water and run the mixer on low speed to form the dough. When all of the water has been absorbed, and there is no loose flour at the bottom of the bowl, stop the mixer and exchange the beater for the dough hook.
  6. Allow the dough hook to knead the dough on medium-low speed for 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  7. Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape the dough down from the sides of the bowl, cover the bowl with cling-wrap and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.
  8. After rising, the dough will be at least doubled. Punch it down and turn it out onto a floured work surface. Flour the top of the dough as well, then knead the dough briefly, adding a little extra flour every time it becomes too sticky. Using a dough scraper also helps tremendously.
  9. Roll the dough into a large log and divide it into 4 equal pieces for baguette-style rolls, 2 pieces for 2 large 900g loaves, or leave it in one piece for extra-large loaf.
  10. I am doing baguette-style rolls which will be featured in another recipe tomorrow when I make gourmet pancetta, blue cheese, garlic and butter rolls.
  11. Knead the dough briefly and shape it into loaves, or in this case, roll it into lengths to fit your baguette pan or baking sheet.
  12. Transfer the rolls to the pan and cover them lightly with cling-wrap. Allow to rise again for 30 minutes. While they rise, preheat your oven to 200c or 400f.
  13. After 30 minutes the loaves will have doubled in size. Dust the tops of the loaves with flour then slash the loaves with a sharp blade. Spray your oven with a mist of water and bake the loaves for 30 minutes. Spray more water into the bottom of the oven halfway through.
  14. Bake 35 minutes for a 2 large loaves and 40-45 minutes for the extra large loaf.
  15. Test for doneness by flicking the loaves --- if it sounds hollow it is done.
  16. Once baked and golden, remove them from the oven. If you're using a perforated baguette pan, allow them to cool on the pan, otherwise transfer the loaves to wire racks to cool.
  17. All that remains is to savour these wonderful breads.

Serves: 2
 
What life or love be without a little sweet and a little savoury? This pizza gives you both in one. The strongly flavored Pancetta is offset by the sweetness of the preserved figs, and this all melted together with creamy Camembert and mozzarella.
Ingredients
For 2 Large (35cm) Pizzas
  • 1 Batch of Instant Pizza Dough
  • 400g Grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Round of Camembert cheese
  • 8 Slices of rolled pancetta
  • 2 Preserved figs
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. For the toppings, cut a round of camembert into 8 wedges. Turn the on their side and cut them through the center giving you 16 pieces.
  2. Cut the preserved figs into slices, then cut 8 slices of pancetta.
  3. In addition, grate 400g of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Divide the pizza dough in 2. This is the instant pizza dough we featured a few weeks back and you can see this by clicking the onscreen link.
  5. Press each half into a large disc. Lightly flour the work surface and roll this out to 35cm in diameter, or 14 inches.
  6. Transfer the bases to baking sheets. Dock the bases using the tines of a fork to stop the dough from bubbling up during baking.
  7. Sprinkle a little less than half of the mozzarella onto each base. Arrange 8 wedges of the camembert on each each base, followed by 4 rounds of pancetta and the sliced preserved fig.
  8. Finish it off by sprinkling half of the remaining mozzarella over each one.
  9. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 250c or 480f for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden.
  10. Remove the pizzas from the oven, slice into wedges and serve immediately.

In this episode we're making burger buns without an oven - these buns are superb and will rival the best buns you have ever tasted!!!
Ingredients
Group 1 Ingredients
  • 30ml Instant dried yeast
  • 280ml Warm water
  • 80ml Oil
  • 60ml Sugar
Group 2 Ingredients
  • 1 Egg
  • 5ml Salt
  • 480g Strong white bread flour
  • 6 Tbs extra strong white bread flour
Instructions
  1. Place the yeast, sugar, warm water and oil in your mixer bowl. Mix this briefly, then allow it to stand for 10 minutes until very frothy.
  2. Add the egg and the salt and mix briefly again.
  3. Add half of the flour and mix this for 3 minutes until combined, then allow this to stand for 10 minutes. This standing time allows the flour to autolyse. This means than the flour becomes absolutely saturated with water resulting in a softer and better textured bread.
  4. (if you're mixing by hand, use a wooden paddle to mix until combined)
  5. Add the second half of the flour and mixt again for 7 minutes. During this time, gradually add the extra 6 tablespoons of flour.
  6. (if you're mixing by hand, mix the dough with the paddle until it comes together and comes away from the sides of the bowl, then turn it out and knead by hand for 7 minutes, adding the additional flour while kneading)
  7. After the kneading time, the dough will be soft and elastic and only very slightly sticky.
  8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll it into a log. Divide the dough into 6 for jumbo buns, 9 for regular buns and 12 for cocktail size.
  9. (if by hand, roll into a log and divide)
  10. Each piece will be in the shape of a small cylinder. Place the cylinders on their end and flatten them into discs.
  11. Allow these to stand for 10 minutes to relax the gluten. After 10 minutes, you can place these on a tray covered loosely with cling-wrap and store them in your refrigerator should you not wish to bake them immediately.
  12. Otherwise heat a pan over medium low heat and drop 2 or 3 buns into the pan. Allow these to cook for 6 to 7 minutes before flipping them over. If you are cooking refrigerated buns, give these an extra 2 minutes per side. Flip the buns over and cook for a further 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the buns from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Continue with the remaining buns.
  13. Surprisingly, these buns cut very well even before cooling, as I am doing here. Inside you see a beautifully soft, well textured crumb with an aroma from heaven, and tons of flavor.
  14. Toast the sliced buns face down in a pan in butter, then make up your burgers, or whatever you have planned for them.
  15. For cocktail buns adjust the cooking time to 4 to 5 minutes per side, and for regular size buns, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

Gourmet Hotdog Rolls - Vietnamese Baguettes - Super-Crispy Crust, Super Soft Inside!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Hot Dogs / Bread & Dough
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Serves: 8
 
These gourmet hotdog rolls are actually Vietnamese Baguettes. The super-crispy crust and beautiful soft center makes for perfect hotdog roll. The process is simple, however it is time-consuming, so I do suggest making at least this batch size to make it worth your while.
Ingredients
  • 540g Strong White flour
  • 400ml Water
  • 7.5ml Salt
  • 10ml Sugar
  • 20ml Fast acting dry yeast
Instructions
  1. Place the strong white flour, salt, sugar and yeast in your mixer bowl. Place the bowl on your mixer and mix the dry ingredients together briefly.
  2. Add the water and allow the mixer to mix and knead for 8 minutes. If you're kneading by hand, knead for 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Remove the bowl from the machine, scrape the dough down, cover the bowl with cling-wrap and let the dough rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.
  4. Rub a little oil onto your work surface. Turn the dough out and cut it into 8 equal pieces for regular rolls, or 4 for foot-longs.
  5. Working with oiled hands, fold each piece of dough in on itself 3 times, then transfer these to a baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet with an inverted roasting tin and allow these to rest for a further 20 minutes. This is the second rise.
  6. Make sure the work surface is still adequately oiled. Place one of the dough pieces on the surface and flatten it into a rectangle.
  7. Use your rolling pin to roll it out to a rectangle of 4 to 5 inches wide by about 8 inches long.
  8. Starting at the top, roll the dough down to form the roll. Roll the dough on the surface using your fingers to close the ends. Transfer the roll to your baguette pan or a baking sheet. Repeat this until all of the baguettes are formed.
  9. Time for the third rising.... lightly cover the buns lightly with cling-wrap and allow these to rise again for 45 to 50 minutes.
  10. Halfway through this time, start to pre-heat your oven to 230c or 450f.
  11. After the third rise, remove the cling-wrap and mist the rolls with water. Use a sharp knife or blade to slash 3 cuts into the tops of each roll. Spray the rolls again.
  12. Place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven.... place the buns in the center of the oven, and bake them for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
  13. Remove the buns from the oven. If you're using a perforated baguette pan, allow them to cool on the pan, otherwise transfer the buns to a wire rack.
  14. And there it is... beautifully crispy crust with light, soft and airy inside.... just waiting to become a gourmet hotdog.
