Beer-soaked fig quick banana bread combines chewy, sweet dried figs with a malty English beer. The bitterness of beer and walnuts cut through the thick sweetness of the black mission figs and overripe bananas, resulting a deeply satisfying, delicious and ultra-moist quick bread that you will really love. DO NOT skip the brown butter step! It takes just a few minutes to transform a simple quick bread into gourmet baked goods with that rich, nutty, and caramel flavour that you can’t get enough.

These soft, fluffy and slightly sweet rosette patterned braided buns are surprisingly easy and fun to make. They require a soft, enriched dough, such as challah or tangzhong bread, and are great for breakfast or afternoon snack. I made these plain with a sprinkle of streusel. If desired, you can fill the individual dough portion with nutella, nut butter or homemade jam to make them even more lusicious.
Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini fritters are a delicious and easy way to use up your summer squash excess. These crispy fritters are great as a light lunch, or a side dish. The spriralized zucchini soaks up the spices and fresh herb to give you a bite that is just bursting with flavour. Feel free to add your own twist by using your favourite spices and herbs. I served them with some greens, boiled eggs and a homemade hot sauce. But herby yoghurt, poached eggs or smoked salmon would work beautifully too.
Zucchini Bread with Cranberry and Chocolate

Baking zucchini bread is a great way to make the most of the bountiful summer harvest in a tasty and varied way! This moist zucchini bread is the perfect quick alternative to traditional yeast bread. Zucchini adds natural moisture and structure to baked goods, yielding an incredibly tender crumb and stays fresh for a long time. A hearty treat that’s ideal for breakfast or as a snack between meals. Instead of cranberries and chocolate, you can also use other add-ins like nuts and raisins for the loaf.

Meet the cutest bread design: bow tie shaped buns filled with black tahini! Not only are they easy to make and shape, but they held their shape after baking! They are tender, fluffy and beautiful golden. Whether you are hosting a weekend brunch, or treating your family to an afternoon cup of tea, these buns are sure an absolute delight. I used black tahini as the filling, but homemade jam or nutella would work beautifully too.
Brioche Challah Buns

|
Those brioche challah buns are pillowy soft, fluffy and slightly sweet. They are perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack or served as dinner rolls. It’s fun to braid the dough into small challah buns, but you certainly can shape the dough into a large round challah or even just a standard loaf. I made these buns straight through in a few hours, but you can cold-ferment the dough for 12-18 hours if you want to break up the process to fit your time schedule.

Sometimes you just need something quick – and that's when a simple spelt roll recipe comes in handy! Whether you're baking them for a leisurely brunch or dinner with the family, these spelt flour rolls always taste great. Baking bread is often considered complicated, especially by beginners. And of course, making and using your own sourdough starter isn't exactly the quickest thing to do, though definitely worth it! The dough is super easy to work with and the result is fantastic. So if you don't have much experience or time, you should definitely start by baking these simple spelt rolls. They have a wonderful crust and are beautifully moist inside.
Quick Wild Garlic Loaf

This aromatic bread gets its distinctive flavour from the addition of finely chopped wild garlic, which not only adds a fantastic, mild, and sweet garlicky flavour to the loaf, but it is also a nutrient-dense "superfood" with numerous health benefits. With spelt flour, milk and Parmigiano Reggiano, it turns out wonderfully hearty and moist. Best of all: it requires no yeast at all and can be mixed together with baking powder in just a few minutes. Whether for breakfast, as a side dish for a barbecue, or simply spread with butter – this quick bread is a real treat for all wild garlic fans!
Millet Bread
Tuesday, April 21, 2026| |
|
This light millet bread is wonderfully moist and fluffy thanks to the use of milk and honey. In addition to the mineral-rich and easy-to-digest millet, which will be cooked beforehand, I also used both spelt flour and regular wheat flour for the dough, but you can use either just wheat or spelt. Perfect for sandwich or a delicious breakfast with homemade jam or cheese.
Spelt Bread with Walnuts and Raisins
Friday, March 20, 2026| |

Crispy and fresh from the oven – that's how we like our bread best. This delicious homemade spelt bread with walnuts and raisins relies on long, slow fermentation with just a little yeast to develop gluten and flavour, rather than manual kneading. A 24-hour fermentation help develop a deeper, more complex, sourdough-like flavour and makes the bread more digestible. If you bake this bread in summer or your kitchen is very warm, or simply because you want to delay baking even longer, you can leave the dough rise in the refrigerator. I left mine in the refrigerator for the last 4 hours and the sticky dough was actually much easier to work with when it’s cold.
Sunflower Whole Spelt Bread

|
A hearty and nutritious loaf of homemade spelt sandwich bread dotted with roasted sunflower seeds, which gives it a nutty taste and unique texture. The bread uses a mix of white and whole spelt flour, along with a significant amount of sunflower seeds. It’s perfect for lunch or toasted with butter and honey for breakfast.
Parsley Root Saffron Bread
Saturday, February 21, 2026| |

Mashed parsley root has significantly increased the moisture, softness, and tenderness to this sandwich loaf. I have added saffron to the dough for its bright golden-yellow colour, but it’s completely optional. You could just as easily throw some nutmeg or cinnamon into this bread too.
At first glance, parsley root and parsnip look quite similar in appearance, but the two plants are botanically quite different. Parsnip is kinda like a pale carrot, with a sweet, slightly nutty taste and a starchy texture while parsley root is earthy, savoury and herbaceous.
