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 …
No Knead Cider Bread
No knead bread is an addiction. That you can go from gloop to bread in 2 hours (at its fastest) is just such a wonder to me. I love recipes that you can change up, fiddle around with, and they still work.I found a shallot in the fridge that needed using, the tail end of …
Journey Bread–Methi Roti–Thepla
Well, sort of. Apart from the fact that I didn’t have any fresh or even any dried methi. (Fenugreek) so ground it was. Fenugreek is a herb that has staying power. It clings to you. Your hands, your clothes, your kitchen and your whole house if you use a lot of it, and don’t open …
More adventures in bread: light rye
I’m having such fun with the Even Faster No Knead Bread recipe. The usual white bread flour one has become a total staple, but I wanted to branch out a bit, so I bought some wholemeal rye flour. I use measuring cups, as it’s easier, and you can buy them in most supermarkets now or …
