Salty Hotteok

This is my second version of hotteok, an korean street food. While most recipes do use the same dough for sweet and salty fillings I do prefer different doughs for different fillings. As a first salty hotteok I made sauerkraut filled hotteok. Korean Austrian fusion at its finest.

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.

Poppy Cake With Lemon Glaze

This is one of the unhealthiest but best cakes Ive made in a long time. The combination of lemon sugar and poppy is insanely good. Also its gluten free, in case you are in need of a gluten free dessert.

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.

Caramelized Condensed Milk

Condensed milk was bad tasting milk that my grand parents would pour into their coffee. I was wrong. Self made caramelized condensed milk has nothing to do with that kind of milk. Its sweet and delicious, think melted butterscotch. Its an amazing base ingredient for a lot of sweets and desserts and I will use this in several desserts in the near future.
