Fruit bread with sourdough


Ingredients:
175 g mixed dried fruit
150 g mixed dried fruit roughly chopped
50 g yeast
3 dl 37C/98F water
1,5 teaspoon salt
4 dl rye flour
6 dl manitoba cream flour
3 dl sourdough
7 dl flour

Preparation Instructions:
Take the 175 g of mixed fruit of your pleasing a put it in water for a few hours, then mix it to a pure.
Crumble the yeast into a bowl.
Add the water and the salt and stir till the yeast has dissolved.
Add 2 dl of Manitoba cream and 2 dl of rye flour, stir.
Now add the fruit pure, sourdough and roughly chopped mixed fruit, and stir.
Now add the rest of the Manitoba cream, wich is 4 dl.
Now add 2 dl of rye flour, mix throughly.
Now start adding the rest of the flour 1 dl at a time and work the flour in throughly before you add another dl. The dough is still very sticky, but we'll leave it like that and add a little more flour when we're kneading the dough.
Now leave it to rise for 40 min.
Tip the dough over on to a wax paper that you've dusted a layer of flour on and split the dough into two and start to knead on of the halves of the dough.
When it's smooth, spilt the dough into three pieces, roll them and braid them into a bread, do the same with the other half.
Now let them rise for 40 min.
Heat the oven to 175 C or 347 F. Bake the bread for 35-45 min.

Heavenly chocolate cake



Ingredients:
100 g butter
150 g dark chocolate (I used Eldorados Dark chocolate for baking, mainly because it doesn't taste like dark chocolate at all with only 20% cocoa)
0,75 dl sugar
0,5 dl cocoa
0,5 dl O'boy dark powder
2 teaspoons of vanilla
2 teaspoons of baking powder
0,5 ml real vanilla powder
3,5 dl flour
1 dl soy milk
1 dl oat cream
1 tablespoon chocolate sauce
50 g chopped dark chocolate(preferably another chocolate than the one you already used. I used Fazer dark chocolate for baking, it contains 44% cocoa)

Preparation Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 175 C or 347 F. Line a baking pan with butter and coconut flakes or breadcrumbs.
Melt the butter and the chocolate together.
Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Add the chocolate sauce, soy milk and the oat cream into the now melted butter and chocolate, add this to the dry ingredients and mix.
Now add the chopped chocolate and mix for just a few seconds.
Then just get it all into the baking pan and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes.
Done!
