My husband and I wanted something special for brunch the other day and I made Eggs Benedict. This is something I normally order in restaurants but not often make at home. But it's so delicious and now I will definitely do it more often. This time I made Eggs Benedict with salmon and avocado which [...]
Tomato bread is a perfect match to a fresh green salad or your barbecue favourites. Tomato and oregano makes it remind me about pizza, but in bread form. Try it! Ingredients (2 loaves): 1 can whole tomatoes 1/5 cup water 1 pack dry yeast 2 tsp salt 1/2 tbs olive oil 1 tsp dried oregano [...]
I know this is not a Scandinavian dish, but let me tell you HOW big tacos, tortillas, or yes you name it, is in Scandinavia. In Sweden we call this dish "Friday cosiness". That means, each and every family with kids eat tacos on Friday (ok, not every family). In Norway, it's the same thing, [...]
A crusty baguette is something I just love. It's perfect for your family picnic, together with a tasty soup or just as a quick easy lunch. It's not so easy to find the crusty simple baguettes here where I live, but it's so easy to bake yourself. Try this recipe! Start in the evening and [...]
I love shrimp sandwich! What is typical for a Scandinavian shrimp sandwich is that you almost don't see the bread due to all the shrimps. 🙂 Ingredients (4 sandwiches): 4 slices of sourdough bread 2 lb shrimps with shells (if you prefer peeled ones, you choose that but then less) 4 tbs home-made mayonnaise (or [...]
It doesn't get more Danish than this; Smørrebrød or Open (Face) Sandwich! When I lived in Copenhagen for three years, I always took my international visitors to eat the Danish icon. They are normally made on a thin slice of Danish rye bread, a rich layer of butter and then with different delicious toppings. That [...]
This is the most common and traditional bread in Denmark. It's also the base for the famous "Smørrebrød" or open sandwich. If you haven't tried it before, you might think when you see this bread; healthy but it doesn't taste that good. Please try it and I'm sure you will have a different opinion after. [...]
The Swedish "Knäckebröd" (translated break bread) has a long history and we find the first traces of this crisp bread in Sweden around 500 AD. Originally, they were made round with a hole in the middle so that the breads could be stored for a long time, as they were threaded on long sticks hanging from [...]
After starting to bake my own hamburger rolls, I think it's difficult to buy ready rolls (if you're not in a really big hurry). I have tried different recipes but these brioche rolls are my favorite. Brioche rolls are perfect for burgers. They have a soft and delicious inside, and a harder outside which makes [...]
These bread buns are so easy to bake and they are delicious. You don't understand why you ever bought buns after eaten those fresh. 🙂 I baked them this week and served them with a dinner soup we had. Delicious! And they only need to ferment once. Ingredients (20 bread buns) 1 pack dry yeast [...]
