Summer pudding❤️

Hello my glamorous friends I hope you are well . As summer is closely apporching I though this will be perfect recipe to kick start things with this recipe .  I love summer pudding and I don't what it is but that is just summer in one recipe .  Nothing says summer like summer pudding . So lets get started .... 

SERVES: 12
PREPARATION: 20 MINUTES, PLUS OVERNIGHT CHILLING
COOKING TIME: 2-3 MINUTES
  
You will need : 
Butter, for greasing
1.5kg mixed summer berries (such as blueberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries, blackberries and loganberries)
400g caster sugar
1 large unsliced white tin loaf, about 2-3 days old

Method
  1. Butter and line a 900g loaf tin, or two 450g tins, with a double layer of cling film.
  2. Remove leaves and stalks from the fruit and put blueberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants in a pan with the sugar and 75ml water and bring to the boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the berries have just softened and burst. Raspberries, blackberries and loganberries don’t need cooking, but if using only these, cook one type to release the juice. If used in combination with cooked fruit, just add to the pan at the end.
  3. Cut all the crusts off the loaf. Cut the bread lengthways into medium-thick slices. Generously brush berry juice on one side of each slice that will line the tin.
  4. Place a slice of bread in the base of the tin, juice side down. Trim to fit. Put a slice of the bread on either side, inside the tin, and cut slices to fit the ends, putting the juicy sides against the tin. Spoon a little berry juice into the base, making sure the bread is well soaked. Add the fruit gradually, making sure the bread soaks up the juices and becomes red. When the tin is full, top with bread to seal it, making sure there are no gaps. Spoon over a couple of tablespoons of juice to turn the top red. You should have about half the berries left.
  5. Cover the top of the tin with cling film. Put a weight, such as a can of baked beans, on top of the loaf to press the mixture down and allow it to soak into the bread. Put the loaf in the fridge overnight.
  6. Peel back the cling film, turn the loaf upside down on a plate and free it from the tin. Remove the cling film. Serve sliced with the remaining berries and juice.
Enjoy PS ... Why not serve it with cream or ice cream .

What will you have with your summer pudding ?

Succulent Focaccia Bread Recipe






Hello my glamorous Friends I hope you are all well . Now is bread is not easy to make but it is super delicious as well and I'm thrilled that I'm sharing this recipe with you guys . So lets get started ,

             


Serves 6-8


Ingredients:

4 cups All Purpose Flour¼ cup

Extra Virgin Olive Oil1

 Tbsp Kosher Salt1 cup

 Warm Water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit)

2 Tbsp Sugar1 Package Dry Yeast1½

 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary 4 Cloves Garlic Thinly Sliced

Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Drizzling

Kosher Salt and Coarse Ground Black Pepper (to sprinkle over top)

Process,

1) In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, proof the yeast by combining it with the warm water and sugar. Stir gently to dissolve. Let stand 3 minutes until foam appears.

 

2) Turn mixer on low and slowly add the flour to the bowl. Dissolve salt in 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the mixture. Pour in 1/4 cup olive oil.

 

3) When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium. Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

 

4) Turn the dough out onto a work surface and fold it over itself a few times. Form the dough into a round ball and place in an oiled bowl, turn to coat the entire ball with oil so it doesn't form a skin. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until double in size about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

 

5) Coat a sheet pan with a little olive oil and corn meal. Once the dough is doubled and domed, turn it out onto an oiled baking sheet. Stretch the dough out to an rectangular shape (same size as the baking sheet) about 1/2-inch thick. Lay the flattened dough on the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 20 minutes.

 

6) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

 

7) Once rested uncover and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary, sliced garlic, and salt and pepper. Cover once again and let it rest for 25 minutes.

 

8) Bake on the bottom rack for 20 minutes, or until its golden brown.

 

This focaccia is perfect along with a selection of cheeses or a lovely spicy dip .

Roasted Rosemary And Garilic Wedges ♥






Hello my glamorous friends happy Tuesday ! Have you fancied making your own wedges and don't know how ? Well do not fear Chyna is here ! ( that's sounds cheesy but you get the idea) . Just to let you know you kitchen will smell of rosemary heven while the seasoned potatoes are in the oven . This is a healthier snack because the wedges are baked not fried also I mention how crispy they are when first bit into them . So I hope you enjoy this recipe guys ..... 


Serves 4

 


Ingredients:4 Large Yukon Gold Potatoes, washed and dried2 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary5 Cloves of Garlic, whole in their skin2 Tbsp Granulated Garlic Salt and Pepper (to taste)3 Tbsp Olive Oil

METHOD ,       

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place a large non stick baking sheet into the oven to get extremely hot (this is so that potatoes wont stick and they get very crispy)

2) Place all the ingredients except potatoes into a large zip lock bag and toss to mix.

3) Cut each potato into 8 wedges and place them on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 5 minutes.

4) Once the potatoes come out of the microwave place them in the zip lock bag with the rosemary mixture and let stand for 10 minutes so that the warm potatoes can absorb all the flavour of the garlic, rosemary and olive oil.
 

5) Roast potatoes for 30 minutes or until crispy golden brown, turning them
once after 15 minutes so that both sides get crispy golden brown. Now that's what I call  yummm!!
 
 
How Crispy Do You Like Your Wedges ?
