What could be better than homemade bread, especially when it's studded with the earthy flavours of cheese, walnuts, potatoes, fresh thyme and pears. I love it served with a steaming soup on ice cold days. It's also great for a school packed lunch.

BreadCheese Spread
  • 200 g Potatoes, diced and boiled
  • 18 g Fresh yeast
  • 550 g Water, lukewarm
  • 100 g Sourdough
  • 800 g Spelt flour
  • 150 g Rye flour
  • 18 g Salt
  • 150 g Walnut, chopped
  • 4 Pears, seeded and cut into wedges
  • 150 g Gorgonzola

  • 170 g Quark
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp Bread crumb
  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces. Fill a large pot with the potatoes. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Drain and cool to room temperature.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve the yeast in water. Add in sourdough, flours, salt, walnuts and cooked potatoes. Mix on slow speed for 4 minutes, then increase the speed and mix a further 4 minutes.
  3. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 6 even portions. Shape each into a ball and rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Knead the dough balls gently and briefly. Cover, and rest for a further 15 minutes. Shape each dough ball into a baton and allow them to rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
  4. To prepare the cheese spread by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag. With a sharp serrated knife, slash the top of the bread lengthwise, about 1/4-inch deep. Pipe the cheese mixture onto the cut and press 5-6 pear wedges on top. Allow them to rest for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C/430F and bake for about 35 minutes until nicely golden brown.

Homemade Beef Ravioli with Roasted Tomato Sauce

Monday, February 06, 2012

This is an comforting and delicious homemade pasta with browned ground beef filling. It's simply sauced with a roasted tomato sauce. If you're a fan of homemade pasta, take some time and make your dinner special.

Homemade Beef Ravioli with Roasted Tomato Sauce

adapted from Klassische italienische Küche von Julia della Croce
Roasted Tomato SauceBeef Ravioli
  • 500 g Roma tomatoes
  • 1 Yellow onion, chopped
  • 6 Garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
  • 200 ml White wine
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 300 g Pasta flour (or bread flour)
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 200 g Ground beef
  • 1 Shallot, minced
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 Egg white, beaten
  • Parmesan, grated (optional)
  • Chives, chopped (optional)
  1. Preheat an oven to 200C/400F. Slice each tomato in half lengthwise and place on a sheet pan, cut side up. Roughly chop the onion and scatter the pieces around the tomatoes. Scatter the garlic cloves on top of the onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with the sugar, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. Roast the vegetables for 30 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft. Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted tomatoes into a large saucepan. With an immersion blender process the tomatoes to the desired consistency. Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer. Add in white wine and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for a further 20 minutes.
  3. Combine pasta flour and salt on a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Place 3 eggs and olive oil in the well, and incorporate the flour into the liquid ingredients until combined. Knead the dough vigorously until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Allow the dough to rest, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour before rolling it out. Flatten a manageable amount of dough (about the size of an orange) on a clean work surface dusted with flour. Cover the rest of the dough. Using a rolling pin, work from the center of the dough to the edges with a back-and-forth motion, rolling and stretching the dough. Continue rolling, turning the dough occasionally and dusting it with flour to prevent sticking and tearing, until the sheet is the desired thickness. Leave the dough sheets to dry for 10-15 minutes before cutting.
  5. Cook ground meat, minced shallot and garlic in a skillet until meat is browned. Remove and strain off the fat. Stir in one egg, parsley and salt.
  6. Cut the dough sheet into 8-cm wide strips and place spoonfuls of filling about 4cm apart on one strip. Brush the area between fillings with egg white and top with a second strip of dough. Form ravioli by pressing around each filling to form a seal. Dust with flour and cut into squares with a pastry wheel. Crimp the edges of the ravioli with a fork to ensure that they are sealed properly. Alternatively you can cut out the wraps using a 2-inch cookie cutter.
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for 5 minutes in a rapidly boiling salted water. Drain and gently toss with the sauce. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan and chopped chives on top if desired. Serve immediately.

Friday, January 27, 2012


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

Warm, soft, slightly sweet and full of flavor, these poppy (or peanut butter) filled whole wheat buns topped with almonds (or sesame seeds) are perfect for an after-school snack or a morning indulgence with a pot of steaming tea!

  • 25 g Whole wheat flour
  • 125 ml Water
  • 140 g Milk
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  • 35 g Walnut oil
  • 50 g Caster sugar
  • 5 g Salt
  • 250 g Whole wheat, ground
  • 230 g All purpose flour
  • 15 g Fresh yeast, crumbled
  • 1/2 Egg
  • 1 tsp Water
  • 150 g Poppy paste
  • 150 g Crunchy peanut butter
  • Sesame seeds and almond slices


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

  1. Combine together the wholemeal flour and water in a small pot until the mixture is well blended and lump free. Cook the mixture over the medium heat, frequently stirring, until it has turned into a thick paste and the thermometer reads about 65C/150F. It takes about 2-3 minutes. Cool the mixture to the room temperature and cover with a plastic wrap while you prepare other ingredients.
  2. In the pan of your bread machine, pour in prepared starter, milk, egg, walnut oil, caster sugar, salt, flours, and the yeast. Program the bread machine to dough cycle.
  3. Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and press it down to flatten. Divide the dough into 10 portions, each about 92 grams.
  4. Roll each portion of dough into an oval. Spread 30 grams of poppy paste or peanut butter at one end, and then slice the other end into 5 strips. Now roll the dough up from ‘filling’ side and seal the edges.
  5. Cover and proof the bread until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Brush the top with egg wash (1/2 egg beaten with 1 tsp water) and sprinkle with sesame seeds or almond slices. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 20-25 minutes until nicely golden brown.

This delicious homemade herb-flavoured tomato soup is healthy, creamy and easy to put together. It is best enjoyed with some cheesy croutons. The recipe calls for the canned tomato, so pick the best quality canned tomatoes you can find, for example, Roma, San Marzano.

This multigrain seed bread ring is made with rye, oats, millet, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and fennel seeds. It’s delicious, crispy, hearty, nutritious and easily adjustable to what you have on hand.

Fennel Potato Soup with Saffron

Sunday, January 15, 2012


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


Once the winter chill comes in, many of us long for some comfort food. Soups are a healthy and satisfying choice of the season.
Today I am sharing with you an easy broth-based soup filled with fennel, potato, soya cream (optional) and flavoured with saffron. If you prefer a lighter version, just leave out the soya cream at the final step.
Fennel bulb is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is the body's primary antioxidant and a necessity for the proper function of the immune system. In addition to its vitamin C, fennel is a very good source of fiber and potassium.

  • 300 g Fennel bulb, trimmed and diced
  • 100 g Potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 Small shallots, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 350 ml Vegetable stock
  • 1/8 tsp Saffron threads
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 60 ml Soya cream (or heavy cream)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Trim the fennel by removing the thin stalks and the thick base. Cut the bulb into 1cm pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1cm pieces too. Finely dice the shallots.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and add in the diced shallots. Cook until aromatic and softened. Add in prepared fennel and potatoes. Sautee for 3 minutes. Add in vegetable stock, saffron, and bay leaf. Bring it to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Remove the bay leaf and puree the soup with an immersion blender. Stir in the cream and season. Serve in hot bowls with some chopped fennel fronds on top.

Wholegrain Spelt Apple and Marzipan Cake

Wednesday, January 11, 2012


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


A classic German apple cake with marzipan. The marzipan paste, made of sugar and almond, is used in the cake batter to enrich the flavour and texture. If you are an almond lover, feel free to use more marzipan instead of sugar, and adjust accordingly flour quantity. The batter should look like a smooth and thick paste.
I do still use my favourite wholegrain spelt flour, but you can use wheat flour (wholegrain or not) instead if you want. Allergic reaction to eggs? No problem, use 1 cup of applesauce instead of 3 eggs.
After baking, a glaze could be created to brush the apples by warming 2 tablespoons of water and 3 tablespoons of apricot jam together. I chose to leave it. It’s rich and sweet enough for me.

  • 2-3 Sour apples
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 100 g Marzipan, grated
  • 150 g Butter, softened
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Almond extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 Eggs
  • 180 g Wholegrain spelt flour
  • 1/2 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Almond slices
  1. Peel apples, cut into quarters lengthwise, and remove cores. Slice deep lines along the length of the apple quarters and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Line a 30x12x9-cm loaf pan with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
  2. Roughly grate the marzipan. Place them in a mixing bowl together with butter, sugar, almond extract and salt. Beat until creamy. Add in eggs, one at time, beat until well combined.
  3. Whisk together the wholegrain spelt flour and baking powder. Sift the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir until just incorporated. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Arrange the apple quarters over the top, cut side up, pressing lightly into the batter. Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool the cake on a wire rack to room temperature. Dust the surface with powdered sugar if desired.

Chocolate Swirl Loaf

Saturday, January 07, 2012


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


This is basically a sweet yeast bread swirled with chocolate-flavoured dough and formed into a two-toned braided loaf. It might seem to be difficult to make but it is simply a braided challah with two-toned effect.

Chocolate Swirl Loaf

inspired by Away of Mind
  • 120 ml Milk, lukewarm
  • 60 ml Water, lukewarm
  • 60 g Butter, room temperature
  • 1 Egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 50 g White sugar
  • 360 g All purpose flour
  • 7 g Instant active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp Dark chocolate spread
  • 1 tbsp Flaxseed, ground
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all the ingredients in the order given except the dark chocolate cream and ground flaxseed. Using a dough hook, mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface. Combine the dark chocolate cream with 1/3 of dough. Knead each portion for a few minutes to form two smooth and elastic balls of dough. Place two dough balls separately on two lightly greased bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.
  3. After dough balls have risen, roll and stretch each dough into approximately a 10 x 6-inch / 25 x 15-cm rectangle. Place the chocolate dough on top of plain dough, then roll it out to a 12 x 8-inch / 30 x 20-cm rectangle. Cut the rectangle into half, so you have two 6 x 8-inch / 15 x 20-cm rectangles. Now stack one rectangle on top of the other and roll it out again to a 12 x 8-inch / 30 x 20-cm rectangle. Repeat the above steps twice more.
  4. Slice the rectangle into 4-6 strands, leaving one end intact, and braid the strands to form a loaf. Place it in a loaf pan lined with baking paper. Cover with the plastic wrap and allow it to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until it doubles in size. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Spray the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle the ground flaxseed over. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
