Chocolate biscotti

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, In : cookies 

Our 5-year-old had some fancy biscotti at a cafe this week and asked me to make some. Always up for a baking challenge, I duly produced these. Easy to overbake biscotti, so keep an eye on it.

1/3 c coconut sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder

Ooh don't you love a good digestive for a dunking. I've never made my own, but they are so easy and satisfying to make. I think I'll add a few raisins next time. This is from Homemade Memories (Orion, 2015) by Kate Doran of thelittleloaf.com

100g spelt flour
100g cold butter, cubed
35g wheatgerm (or substitute with more ground or whole oats)

Brilliant breakfast muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, November 30, 2015, In : small cakes 

My little baby girl used to love porridge - one of her first words, one of her daily favourite foods. But at 3 and a half she's a bit more picky and some days breakfast is a scant affair and I'm left to eat the porridge she didn't touch. As I was pondering this dilemma I came across Nadia Lim's super breakfast muffins in her Good Food Cook Book (Random House, 2013). I used her recipe as a base but reduced the sugar content by 1 whole cup; I don't think you need it with the dates and banana in...

Spelt and rye spiced biscuits

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, August 30, 2015, In : cookies 

This is a European Christmassy recipe from Pease Pudding. The thinner you can roll the dough the better I think. Makes an excellent dunking biscuit. The rye and cardamom add a nice crunchy nutty bite. If you like spicy cookies, check out John's speculaas and Ginny's ninjabread men.
Makes 24-30
150g butter
100g brown sugar
200g spelt flour
100g rye
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
2 Tbs water
nuts to garnish such as pine nuts or slivered almonds

Lemon and poppy seed loaf

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, December 2, 2014, In : big cakes 

By Frances
This comes from Healthy Food Guide and is a low FODMAP recipe, good for people suffering from IBS apparently.
Turned out really nice and lemony and not too sweet. I used rice syrup for the lemon glaze instead of sugar.

100g (1/2 c) sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 1/2 Tbs lemon juice
1 1/3 c spelt flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs poppy seeds

Lemon glaze:
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c sugar or rice syrup
few grates of lemon zest plus extra for topping

Rye and spelt bread

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, November 29, 2014, In : bread 

By Frances
I've been enjoying watching Paul Hollywood's Bread on TV and following the recipes from the book from the series (Bloomsbury, 2013). He has a good pragmatic way of explaining his recipes and complementing the bread with delicious-looking dishes. He makes the kneading and shaping look easy, but I know I have to work on my technique. This loaf turned out super - soft crumb and chewy crust, with lovely wholesome rye/sourdoughish flavour. Perfect with butter and honey.

For the 'sponge'

Crusty no-knead bread

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.

3 cups unbleached all purpose flour (I used wholemeal spelt)
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
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...
