I make this or a variation of it every week. I tend to cook it in a 1lb loaf tin, because I have an old Hovis one and it amuses me but I have doubled it and baked it in a 2lb tin. I like this recipe because it's quick to mix up. Tip: grease …

Low Carb Corn Bread
Not cornbread, that's a different animal and made of cornmeal which is too high carb for me. No, this is bread made with corn in it, but it is very tasty! I did add some sweetcorn extract, because I had it, but this is not necessary. 4 fresh baby corn cobs (4g carbs) 250ml hot …
Low Carb Bread Rolls
I am persevering in my low carb cooking. Because of the constant NHS nagging since I passed puberty and first went to a GP appointment, I joined their Second Nature program to get some peace, and appear as a Good Fatty on their books, instead of just being a Good Fatty by myself with no …
Çörek/daktyla/sesame bread Cypriot style!
This is not the full, traditional recipe, but it's what I made when I really wanted a small loaf of bread to go with soup, and also wanted that particular Cypriot flavour. For the full recipe go here. Mastic is probably not something many people associate with food, more than likely people think it's to …
TikTok Custard Toast
I'd never heard of this until earlier this week. I got a random email from Charlotte at the BBC, asking me to comment on this custard toast nonsense. Turns out Charlotte had asked on Twitter for someone to talk, so my boss from way back at Capita had told them to talk to me. What …
Crunchy Bread Pockets
I hate waste. I've probably said this before. I had a few slices of bread left that had gone a little mouldy on the crusts so I sprang* into action. Cut off the crusts, then rolled them as flat as I could with a rolling pin. Brown bread is surprisingly resilient. Cheap white bread would …
Plantain Not Quite Brioche Swirls
I follow many channels on YouTube, quite a few of which are food based. Surprising, yes? [/irony] There is one channel whose owner has such a relaxing voice, that I could probably listen to her reading the phone book to be honest, but when she's talking about her cooking, that's much better than Smith, Jones …
Old Fashioned Bread Pudding
Last weekend I baked some bread, ate two slices, and then promptly forgot about it. It was wrapped, and out of sight, which is probably the best way for me to lose track of things. Thankfully I found it again before it went furry, but it was a lot more dense than it had been, …
Hallloumi & Mint snacks
Greek (Orthodox) Easter came and went this year, and more or less passed me by. When you're the only Cypriot around for miles (that I know of, anyway) there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing much about it. If we had an Orthodox church near, I'd probably go, but we don't, …
No Knead Slow Cooker Bread
Totally inspired by Bakingqueen74, who has been baking in her slow cooker since forever, and then reminded, poked and prodded into actually giving it a go by the colourful bread recipes that Bootstrapcook has been posting. I love the no knead method, and I can stir it all together and just leave it to do its …
