This lovely bread loaf won't make you disappointed. It's a moist and semi-coarse bread that I think is perfect for a slice of bread for breakfast. If you would like to add dried fruit or nuts, it's a perfect base to experiment with. Ingredients (1 loaf): 1 1/2 tsp dry yeast250 g strong white bread [...]
Happy New Year! I can't believe that we finally have left THE 2020 year behind us and now started a new, hopefully lovely year. I am really excited about 2021, what it has to bring and all new possibilities that will come. With that said, I also have a lot of respect for the ongoing [...]
This is a very popular bread in Sweden called Hönökaka. It is like a flatbread and named after the island town Hönö in Gothenburg's northern archipelago. The bread is baked in round flat pieces, but when you buy it in Sweden, it is normally sold as half-circles. Just as with round Swedish crisp breads, the [...]
This is a quick bread loaf that can be done in the morning and be ready when everyone in the family is awake and wants breakfast. No planing needed, no yeast needed and no time for ferment. This is perfect for a weekend morning breakfast and reminds me about a slice of a Scandinavian breakfast [...]
Cod with egg and caviar is common in the Scandinavian cuisine. I made a sourdough toast the other day where I quickly steamed a cod fillet, boiled eggs and made a sauce based on sour cream and caviar. This is a fresh, creamy and easy dish that reminds me a lot of a summer lunch [...]
Have you always wanted to bake your own sourdough bread but always been a bit concerned if it really works and if it will get a bread out of this bubbly sourdough starter? I know the feeling, but just try it out. Here I have a recipe where you will add grated apple, which stimulates [...]
Walnuts, with their rich flavor and buttery, smooth consistency, add a lot to this bread. The base recipe is similar to this, so if you prefer to bake your bread without walnuts, follow that recipe. Ingredients (1 loaf): 6 cups (625g) flour (e.g. unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour) 1 tsp dry active yeast 1/2 [...]
Bagels, can it be more American? 😉 I know this is not a Scandinavian tradition. But as I have been writing about before when it comes to the Scandinavian cuisine, we are very much influenced and taken other food cultures into our own. I LOVE bagels. I do! I think it is because you can't [...]
Okey, I just love this! I don't use Marcarpone, which is an Italian creme cheese, that often. But this is something I have to spread (!). I had it in a restaurant as an appetizer and created thereafter this recipe at home. Try it! Ingredients (4 pers): 4 slices sourdough bread slices 1 tbsp olive [...]
You know that I love bread and I have a whole category here with my favorite bread recipes. I have learned that you call a whole night fermented bread "No-knead bread" and that is what this favorite bread is. You only need a very small amount of active yeast and instead you let it ferment [...]
