Happy baking!
1. Overnight Focaccia
This is one of the most popular recipes on the blog for a reason! An overnight prove in the fridge, paired with a high level of hydration makes a focaccia with a soft & fluffy, open crumb and a perfectly crisp crust.
Once you’ve made this, I’d recommend using it to make the best BLT sandwiches!
2. Tangzhong Burger Buns
To make the perfect burger, you need a great burger bun! These are made with a tangzhong & enriched with butter, milk & egg which gives them an incredibly soft & fluffy texture. These will also stay fresh for longer than your average bun, thanks to the tangzhong.
If you fancy making something a bit different with these buns, take a look at our chicken kiev sandwich recipe.
3. Step By Step Sourdough
Sourdough might seem complicated & difficult to make but it doesn’t have to be! In this in depth guide, you’ll find my step by step process to making, shaping & baking your own loaves of sourdough bread. Plus there’s a handy guide to making & maintaining your own sourdough starter.
Once you’ve got this recipe nailed, you should definitely take a look at some of our other sourdough recipes. This includes cinnamon rolls & brown butter porridge sourdough!
4. Pizza Oven Pittas
If you’ve got a pizza oven at home, this is the recipe for you! These pitta breads are surprisingly quick & easy to make and go incredibly well with a homemade hummus. These take less than a minute to cook in a pizza oven & you get to watch them puff up like a balloon. So satisfying!
5. Tear & Share Cheesy Garlic Bread
Possibly the best garlic bread ever! Here, soft & fluffy dough balls are stuffed with mozzarella, brushed with homemade garlic butter & topped with grated parmesan. If you’re a fan of garlic bread and cheese, this is the bread for you!
6. Overnight Tangzhong Doughnuts
Fancy making a batch of doughnuts that rival Krispy Kreme? These are proved overnight for the best possible flavour before being deep fried & finished with a brown butter glaze. Soft, fluffy & sweet, these doughnuts are a real winner!
7. Potato Burger Buns
Not your average bread roll! These are made with mashed potato & crispy potato skin which gives them a light, fluffy texture & deep, well rounded flavour. Perfect for burgers or even a fillet of beer battered fish!
8. Everything Bagels – New York Style
New York style bagels are super easy to make at home! These have that authentic crisp & shiny crust & chewy interior. We’re also making a homemade “everything bagel” seasoning for maximum flavour. Time to level up your lunchtime!
9. Hot Dog Buns
Soft, fluffy & buttery, these homemade hot dog buns are surprisingly simple to make. Great for serving hot dogs in or you could toast them & use for a lobster roll or fill them with spicy prawns! Super easy to make & incredibly versatile…
10. English Muffins
Finally, we have English muffins. These are pan fried before baking which gives them that deep, brown colour on each side. Quick & easy to make, these are best used for homemade sausage & egg muffins or eggs benedict. This recipe makes four muffins but can easily be scaled up to make more…
