Cranberry Oat Bread

Wednesday, May 26, 2010


Ok, I must admit that I am a true bread lover. I could have bread for breakfast I, for breakfast II (yes, I need two breakfasts a day :-) ) bread lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. My husband finds it amusing one who grew up eating rice adores bread so much.
There is a great choice of bread for all the tastes and costs available in Germany. But not many things beat a homemade artisan bread and don't you love the smell of fresh bread right out of your oven?
I first discovered this bread in Heavenly Housewife at From Donuts to Delirium and I was immediately intrigued. You can also find the original recipe from Dan Lepard's cranberry oat bread recipe at Guardian

  • 3 g Cinnamon
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 50 g Unsalted butter
  • 6 g Instant dry yeast
  • Olive oil, for kneading
  1. Put the oats and cranberries in a bowl and add the boiling water. Leave for 15-20 minutes, until the mixture is warm. Spoon the spelt flour, salt, cinnamon and zest into another bowl, rub in the butter, toss the yeast through, then add the oats and berries, and mix well. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Oil your hands and a 30cm patch of worktop, knead the dough on it for 10 seconds, then leave for 10 minutes. Repeat this knead-and-rest sequence twice more at 10-minute intervals, then cover the dough and leave for 30 minutes.
  3. Pat the dough into a rectangle, roll up tightly and squeeze, seam-side down, into a large, deep, 19cm-long loaf tin. Or use any loaf pan you have. Leave for an hour until risen by half. Heat the oven to 210C/420F. Brush the top of the loaf with water, press on a handful of oats, cut a gash down the middle and bake for 50 minutes. It will scorch on top, but that's typical for fruit bread.
THANK YOU!

Zucchini Buckwheat Pancakes

Sunday, May 23, 2010

These zucchini pancakes are prepared with grated zucchini and a hint of cheddar cheese. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream. This is much easier to persuade your kids or your picky hubby to eat their veggies. And if you are growing zucchini, then this is also one very delicious way to use up a lot at once. I used the mild cheddar, which is matured about 4 months, for the recipe, but Feta, or parmesan would work great too.


  • 300 g Zucchini, grated
  • 2 Shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 Eggs
  • 60 g Cheddar, grated
  • 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Spring onion, chopped
  1. Grate the zucchini into a mixing bowl. Stir in the finely chopped shallots, eggs, cheddar, parsley, spring onion, and garlic. Stir in the buckwheat and wholewheat flours, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop tablespoons of the batter into the skillet. Cook the pancakes two minutes on each side until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Continue to pan-fry the pancakes until all the batter is used.
