Yoghurt scrolls

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, June 29, 2014, In : bread

This recipe is from I Quit Sugar Kids by Sarah Wilson. She uses mainly rice malt syrup and other natural sweeteners instead of sugar. I like the savoury version best - vegemite and cheese.
Dough Base

* About 2 cups self raising flour, plus extra for dusting
* Additional topping ingredients (see below)

Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, In : bread

1 c raw cashews
1 c buckinis (buckwheat groats sprouted then dehydrated - they give a nice crunch)
1 c sunflower seeds, soaked for a few hours
1/2 c or more dessicated coconut
1/2 c natural sweetener - use more or less to taste (I used mix of date paste, rice syrup and honey) ...

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, June 6, 2014, In : bread 

By Frances
I've made no-knead bread before, but this one has a real good crust by baking it in a casserole dish in the oven to form steam. It's from simplysogood.com.

1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 1/2 cups water

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 - 18 hours. Overnight works great...
