Easy Curry Carrot Bread

Monday, November 22, 2021

A lovely yeast-leavened carrot bread boule made with organic bread flour, finely grated carrots and honey sweetened carrot juice. The unexpected use of curry powder and honey sweetened carrot juice give this bread a beautiful golden colour, and a warming, earthy and mildly sweet flavour that is perfect for any topping, as well as a nutritional boost. I spread it liberally with schmaltz, freshly milled black pepper and arugula. You can use butter instead.

  • 500 g Organic bread flour
  • 20 g Fresh yeast, crumbled (or 10 g active dried yeast)
  • 2 tbsp Curry powder
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 200 g Organic carrots, finely grated
  • 210 ml Honey sweetened carrot juice (or water)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, mix together the flour, crumbled yeast, curry powder and salt. Add in finely grated carrots and carrot juice. Mix at slow speed until the ingredients come together, then increase the speed and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, 7-9 minutes. Cover the dough with a clean towel and set aside at room-temperature for 45 minutes until double in size.
  2. Gently press down the dough and shape the dough into a tight ball. Place it in a parchment-lined baking tray and brush with the olive oil. Dust the bread with a little flour.
  3. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Use a sharp knife, razor blade, or bread lame to quickly score the surface of the boule. I did a common "tic-tac-toe" pattern, but a simple cross will be great too.
  4. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 50-60 minutes until crusty, golden and sound hollow when done. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

6-Week Long Maturing Spelt Gingerbread Loaf

Friday, November 19, 2021

Nothing spreads the holiday spirit like a good homemade gingerbread loaf. This particular gingerbread is well-flavoured and incredibly delicious due to the 6-week long maturing process and the generous use of homemade spice blend. For a loaf with a soft crust and tender crumb, cover the gingerbread with a few slices of bread or fruit (I used clementines) for a couple of days before slicing. Glaze the gingerbread loaf with a simple lemon icing or chocolate ganache with some chopped nuts or just serve it with some whipped cream and some stewed plums for a festive brunch or try as a teatime snack slathered with butter.

Gingerbread Spice BlendGingerbread
  • 2 tbsp Allspice, ground
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon, ground
  • 2 tbsp Ginger, ground
  • 1 tbsp Clove, ground
  • 1 tbsp Nutmeg, ground
  • A large pinch of black pepper
  • 125 ml of Honey (or molasses)
  • 100 g Coconut sugar (or raw brown sugar)
  • 60 g Butter
  • 3/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 60 ml Milk
  • 250 g White spelt flour
  • 20 g Gingerbread spice blend
  • 1 Medium egg
  1. Combine all the ingredients for the spice blend in a jar. You don't need all the spices for the recipe. So half the recipe if you prefer.
  2. 6 weeks before Christmas: Gently melt the honey, coconut sugar and butter in a saucepan. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Set aside to cool for a bit. Add soda to the milk and mix. Whisk together the spelt flour and gingerbread spice, soda with milk, egg and cooled honey mixture. Mix well. Scrape the thick batter into a 20cm loaf pan. Cover the pan with a piece of plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge, undisturbed, for 5 weeks.
  3. After 5 weeks: Preheat the oven to 170C/340F. Bake the loaf for about 50-60 minutes until nicely browned. Leave to cool in the pan, then turn out. Wrap the loaf with a large piece of tin foil. Set aside at room-temperature for a couple of days or up to a week before serving.
  4. If the gingerbread is hard, place a few slices of bread/apples/clementines on the loaf, then wrap with tin foil. They will help make the loaf tender and soft (change the bread/fruit each day with fresh ones). When the loaf is tender, glaze the gingerbread with chocolate ganache and sprinkle with some chopped nuts over, or simply dust the loaf with some powdered sugar and enjoy!

Shingled Butternut Squash with Harissa and Pistachio Dukkah

Saturday, November 13, 2021

© 2021 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




© 2021 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


This shigled butternut squash recipe, adapted from Bon Appetit, leans a bit spicy, tangy and smoky thanks to the generous use of homemade harissa (jarred versions available at specialty stores or on amazon make a good substitute), a peppery, garlicky condiment orginally from Tunisia, mixed with olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. It’s incredibly simple to put together, flavourful, and it tastes yummy.

  • 100 ml Olive oil
  • 60-80 g Harissa
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Small butternut squashes, peeled
  • Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley or arugula, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Raw pistachios
  • 2 tsp Sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp Fennel seeds
  1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Whisk together the olive oil, harissa, and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl to combine. Thinly slice butternut squashes crosswise on a mandoline 3mm/1/8inch thick.
  2. Add to bowl with harissa mixture and toss to coat. Season well with salt. Arrange the squashes so they are standing upright in concentric circles in a large baking dish, packing tightly. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over.
  3. Roast, brushing any accumulated harissa oil in dish onto squashes every 10–15 minutes, until soft and starting to brown on top, about 80 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, toss pistachios, sesame seeds, and fennel seeds on a small rimmed baking sheet. Toast alongside sweet potatoes until aromatic, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then chop coarsely. Set dukkah aside.
  5. Remove butternut squash from oven and brush with accumulated harissa oil. Sprinkle with prepared pistachio dukkah.

Roasted Carrot Buckwheat Salad with Belgian Endive and Orange Honey Dressing

Thursday, November 11, 2021

© 2021 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




© 2021 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


This hearty buckwheat salad is packed with flavour as well as nutrients. Belgian endive and roasted walnuts add crunchiness and earthiness while aromatic mint leaves adds just the right amount of zing, freshness, colour and texture. The pleasant bitterness in Belgian endive pairs perfectly with the sweetness of roasted carrots and orange honey dressing. If you don't have buckwheat, simply use your favourite grains or even quinoa instead.

SaladDressing
  • 150 g Buckwheat, rinsed
  • 600 g Carrots, tops trimmed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 150 g Belgian endive, leaves separated
  • Mint leaves
  • 50 g Walnuts, toasted & coarsely chopped
  • 100 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 100 ml Fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Arrange the carrots in a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with ground coriander, salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, or until just tender and beginning to caramelise. Set aside to cool.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add buckwheat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until toasted. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add in buckwheat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes or until al dente. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Spread over a tray lined with paper towel to dry.
  3. To make the dressing, blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combine the buckwheat, carrots (cut them into smaller pieces if too large), Belgian endive leaves, mint and roasted walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine.
