Frozen Fruit Cake

A cake recipe that works with all kinds of frozen fruits. Most recipes only work with frozen berries, but this one was tweaked so the additional liquid gets absorbed very well.

Protein Cheesecake

For the meme only. We were joking about a protein cake for years, and now its time to actually try it. Its hands down not as good as the normal Cheesecake, but it is still tasty for the reduced sugar and fat content.

Baguettes Slow

Three variations of slow fermentation baguettes. To simplify the process I went with twisted ones. They look great, but especially the texture is awesome!

Long Fermented Sourdough - Part 1

Recently I tried a sourdough bread, fermented at room temperature for 1.5 days. I loved it. With a day of first and half a day for the second fermentation this is a totally different game than my usual recipes. Thanks for the inspiration Verena!

This is my new favorite bread recipe by far. The roasted sunflower seeds do alter the taste of this loaf in a way I really did not expect them to do.

Cream-Cheesecake

15 years ago I got a piece of creamy cheesecake from a coworkers wife. I vividly remembered the taste of the cake, though not that I actually had the recipe for it. I found it on an old hard drive a few weeks back. The recipe is not the fastest one, but man is it worth the wait. This was, and still is, the best creamy cheesecake Ive ever eaten.

Pesto Flat Bread

Currently I’m playing around with yeast rise times at different temperatures. Having a lot of carrot top pesto left I tried to combine them and ended up with this flat bread snack. Pretty delicious and for sure just the first version I made. Different toppings and sourdough variants are things I want to try in the nearish future.

Short Sourdough Timetable Experiment (4h)
