Hi there!

I haven't been active at all for a very long time, it's only because my life spells chaos.
Anyway, so I have moved around a little but now I have my own apartment with all my stuff!
So I hope I'm going to get started, going to get active.
Right now I'm in the middle of a Chocolate squares recipe, it's in the oven, so later tonight you'll get the first new recipe in months!
I'll hope the passion for baking will start to come back to me now, when I can build up my life again.

I'm actually hosting a cake party in a couple of weeks, then I guess four new recipes will get posted! And I found a wierd bread recipe I really want to try, so I'll guess that end up here to soon.

See you soon!

Apple cake

This recipe I got from someone I know,
But I made it my own and I made it vegan.
The recipe should in reality contain nectarine instead of apple, but now I want apple!

Ingredients:
100 g of room temperated butter
1,5 dl sugar
2,5 dl flour
1,5 dl soy flour, I add it so that the finished thing doesn't crumple so much
1 dl soy milk
1 dl oat cream
3 teaspoons of No Egg
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 large apples


Preparation Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 175 C or 347 F. Line a small baking pan with butter and breadcrumbs.
Peel the apples and make into slices.
Add the butter with the sugar and mix.
Then add the flour, mix.
Add the soy milk and the oat cream, mix.
Then add everything else and mix.
Then just get it all into the baking pan and put apple pieces in it.
Then take your milkfree butter out of the fridge and take a cheese slicer you warm under hot water, and make butter slices that you cover your cake with.
When everything is covered with butter slices you add pearl sugar over it all, and rather a lot then a little now  pop it in the oven for 40 minutes.
The thing about the pearl sugar and the butter, it will melt together and create a really good and crunchy surface.
It's actually the best part of the cake!

Walnut and raisin bread

Yes, I love walnut bread! It's true, and I also love raisin bread!
So why not put them together and make an AWESOME bread?!?!?

Ingredients:
50 g yeast
5 dl 37C water / 98 F
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon bread syrup
5 dl Manitoba Cream
6-7 dl rye flour
1 dl walnuts
1 dl raisins


Preparation Instructions:
Crumble the yeast into a bowl.
Add the water and the salt and stir till the yeast has dissolved.
Now add the bread syrup and stir.
Add 3 dl of Manitoba cream and 2 dl of rye flour, stir.
Now add the raisins and the walnuts and 2 dl of rye flour, and stir.
Now add the rest of the Manitoba cream, wich is 2 dl.
Now start adding the rest of the rye flour 1 dl at a time and work the flour in throughly before you add another dl.
Now leave it to rise for 40 min.
Tip the dough over on to a wax paper and split the dough into two and form into whatever bread you'd like. I've chosen to make two large breads.
Now let them rise for 40 min.
Heat the oven to 225 C or 437 F. Bake the bread for 40-50 min.

Sourdough Lussebullar

Today I saw snow!
SNOW! <3
It got me into a good Holiday spirit so I decided to make Lussebullar with sourdough, something I've never made. Of course I've made Lussebullar! But never have I added sourdough into the dough!
But right now I'm really into sourdough, and I know you can add sourdough into regular Cinnamon Buns so why not in Lussebullar?

Ingredients:
75 g melted butter
2,5 dl soy milk
25g yeast
1,5 dl sourdough
1,25 dl sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 dl Manitoba Cream Flour
5 dl flour
Raisins or Marzipan or both


Preparation Instructions:
Crumble the yeast into a big bowl.
Melt the butter and add the soymilk(I heat the soymilk a little before in the microwave, if you add the soymilk directly into the melted butter it could clump, and it's not so fun)
I'd recommend you to use an digital meat thermometer, so that you can get an exactly 37 C, that's when you get the best result.
Pour the milk mixture over the yeast and stir till the yeast has dissolved, now add 0,5 g of saffron.
Then add the sugar, salt and 2 dl of regular flour and 2 dl of Manitoba Cream, and the sourdough, stir.
Now add 2 dl of Manitoba cream an stir.
Now add 3-4 dl flour with 1 dl at a time till the dough is smooth, it shouldn't stick to the bowl or to anything, but it should still be a little sticky to the touch, but the dough shouldn't stick to your fingers.
Now you have to let it sit for 30 minutes while it rises.
When it has doubled in size make buns! If you want to add marzipan into the dough, then take you marzipan and cut it into little pieces and knead it in.
I'm going to make half with marzipan and the other half with out anything.
The traditional shape is to make a rope of dough about six inches long (about 15 cm) and then form it into an S. Lay it on a wax paper and tuck raisins into the curls of the S.
Now, when you have done this with all the dough it has to sit for another 30 minutes. Now is a good time to put on the oven 225 C or 427 F.

After 30 minutes it's time to pop the first baking plate into the oven, but before we do that we can if you'd like, to brush the buns with a mixture of ½ dl liquid butter and ½ dl oat cream and then  just pop it in the oven.
Usually they should bake for about 8-10 minutes, but it depends on how big you've made them.
