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.

This experimental timetable for sourdough bread squeezes bulk fermentation, proofing and baking into 4h. Weirdly enough, it works. In general I like longer fermentations more, but its great to have a faster way at hand.

Cheaty Lye Rolls

Lye rolls are a very well known in Austria. As baking rolls in my oven is a pain (I don’t get the required temperatures for a good oven spring) I adapted the recipe a bit to get a decent looking result. Using a cake spring form allows for an easy process but still ends up in a beautiful shape.

Frozen Pita Bread

Pita bread was on my todo list for quite a while. As it forms one big air pocket in the middle during baking it is super easy to fill. The main goal for this project was to bake pita bread in big batches and freeze them so one can toast them up at any given time.

Simple Burger Bread

I’m not that into burgers, though I do make them once in a while. I’m still messing around with a good patty though I finally managed to make great burger bread. The recipe is actually very simple and pretty easy to make. You do need a bit of time for two resting periods though so keep that in mind.

Fast Flat Bread

I recently ran out of bread, though graved for some wheat based side dish to a salad. Usually I go for my fast naan bread in such situations though I decided to try something new. The result was a mix between the naan bread and a tortilla recipe I’m currently experimenting with. And it was delicious!
