How to make Tulip Muffin Liners for Bakery Sytle Muffins Scrummy TV 2024-04-21 | #muffins #bakerystylemuffins #diybaking Creating your own muffin liners at home is a delightful way to add a personal touch to your baking while ensuring your muffins have that professional, bakery-style appearance. By using parchment or greaseproof paper, not only can you customize the size and shape of your liners to create bigger, taller muffins, but you can also be sure that your treats will release easily without sticking. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your own muffin liners for those impressive, oversized muffins.What You Need:Parchment paper or greaseproof paperA glass or plastic cup that fits well into your muffin tinA scissorsA pencilA cupcake/muffin tinInstructions:Step 1: Prepare Your PaperBegin by cutting your parchment or greaseproof paper into squares. The size of the squares will depend on the size of your muffin tins, but a good starting point is 5x5 inches for regular muffins or 6x6 inches for larger, bakery-style muffins. This extra paper will help create the tall sides that are characteristic of bakery muffins. Fold the paper in half and in half again and fold one last time to create a triangle shape. Unfold the paper.Step 2: Mould the LinersPlace the paper line on the glass making sure to place the centre point of the paper in the centre of the glass. Use your fingers to go over each of the creases and press down to the side. Do this for each of the creases on the paper This helps to form the pleats typical of a muffin liner. Be sure to press firmly to create distinct lines and hold the shape better.Step 3: Fit Into Muffin TinOnce the paper has been moulded around the glass, remove the can and place the newly created liner into the cupcake muffin tin. Reshape the line by placing the glass in it and pushing down and turning to shape the liner. Use your fingers to go over the pleats. Remove the glass and the liner should fit snugly. Step 4: RepeatRepeat the process for as many muffins as you plan to bake. Each liner should be made one at a time to ensure that it retains its shape when placed in the muffin tin.Step 5: Fill and BakeFill the liners with your muffin batter, typically about three-quarters full to allow space for the muffin to rise without overflowing. Bake according to your recipe’s instructions.Tips for Success:Choose the Right Paper: Not all parchment paper is the same; some are thicker and more durable, which can be beneficial if you’re aiming for very tall muffins. Greaseproof paper is also a great choice as it prevents sticking and doesn’t require additional greasing.No Folds at the Base: Try to keep the base of your liners as flat as possible to ensure even baking. Excess paper at the base can cause uneven heat distribution.Pleat as You Go: If you prefer more structured pleats, you can fold them into the paper as you mould each liner around the can or glass.Why Make Your Own Liners?There are several reasons why you might choose to make your own muffin liners:Customization: Homemade liners allow for customization in size and height, giving you control over the final look and size of your muffins.Economy: Using a roll of parchment or greaseproof paper is often more economical than buying pre-made liners, especially if you bake frequently.Availability: Sometimes, it's simply more convenient to use what you have at home rather than making an extra trip to the store.Homemade muffin liners not only elevate the look of your baked goods but also enhance the overall baking experience, adding a touch of personalization and professionalism to your creations. Happy baking!

Cranberry Raisin and Cashew Loaf Ingredients:• 4 ¼ cups (500g /17 oz) strong white flour• 1 ½ tsp (7g / 0.25 oz) fast-action yeast• ¼ tsp salt• 2 tbsp sugar or honey• ⅔ cup (150ml / 5.29 oz) milk• ¾ cup (175ml / 6.17 oz) warm water•3 ½ tbsp melted butter• ½ cup ( 75g / 2.65 oz) chopped cashews• ⅔ cup (100g / 3½ oz) raisins • ⅔ cup (100g / 3½ oz) dried cranberries•2 tbsp pumpkin seedsInstructions:1. Prepare the Dough:In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar (or honey). Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.2. Add Wet Ingredients:Pour the melted butter into the warm milk and add to the dry ingredients. Add half the warm water and mix together, continue to add the remaining water until a sticky dough forms. You c an use a wooden spoon or your hands to bring the dough together.3. Knead the Dough:Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment on medium speed for about 5-6 minutes.4. Incorporate the Add-ins:Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the chopped cashews, dried cranberries, raisins and pumpkin seeds over the top. Knead the dough gently to incorporate the nuts, fruits, and seeds evenly throughout. If it's too sticky add a little extra flour until you get a nice smooth ball.5. First Rise:Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and leave it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1½ hours, or until it has doubled in size. I place mine in the airing cupboard and usually takes 1 hour if it's warm there.6. Shape the Loaf:After the first rise, punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into an oblong and score diagonally across the top with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with a little flour. Place the shaped dough onto a lightly floured large baking tray.7. Second Rise:Cover again and let the dough rise again for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. (its important once it's doubled in size to get into the oven and not to leave it longer as the yeast will stop reacting and the bread will deflate )8. Bake:15 minutes before the dough is ready preheat your oven to the following temperatures •200°C/400°F •180°C/360°F Fan •Gas Mark 6 Place a couple of mugs of boiling water in a separate tray and place in the bottom of the oven as the bread goes in to create steam this will give the bread a crisp crust. Bake the loaf in the center of the oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.9. Cool and Serve:Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy on its own or with butter!

Preheat the oven to:• 160°C/320°F [Fan Oven]• 180°C/360°F [No-Fan]• Gas Mark 4.2. Line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.3. Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.4. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and eggs to the bowl, then beat until you have a smooth batter.5. Drain the cherries from the liquid and dry with a kitchen towel (reserve the liquid for later use). Mix the dried cherries with a little flour, which will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking and gently fold them into the mixture with the chocolate chips.6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. It may take a little longer than 60 minutes due to the cherries and chocolate chips so keep an eye on it.8. Once the cake is out of the oven, mix together 3 tablespoons of cherry juice with 3 tablespoons of kirsch (if you have it) if you don’t have just use cherry juice.9. While the cake is still warm, poke the cake with a skewer in a few places and drizzle it with the cherry juice.10. Allow the juice to soak in and let the cake cool completely. I leave the cake in the tin until I’m ready to decorate and then I turn it out onto a plate and use my serving place and place it on the bottom side of the cake and flip the plate over. The cake can be moist and this prevents the cake from being damaged taking it out of the tinFor the Topping:1. Whip the double cream and icing sugar together until soft peaks form.2. If the cherry jam is thick with cherries, place it in a sieve to remove the lumps.3. If desired, stir a spoonful of kirsch or cherry juice into the cherry jam to loosen it up a little. Gently swirl a few teaspoons of the jam through the whipped cream.4. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled cake.5. Sprinkle dark chocolate curls on top and garnish with fresh/tinned cherries and swirl over some of the cherry jam.6. Mmm, Scrummy!!!.Notes:• Because this cake includes cream, it's best to store it in the refrigerator. The kirsch helps keep the sponge moist; without it, the cake may become dry.• While the cherries and chocolate chips are optional additions, they greatly enhance the flavour of the cake.• If you prefer, you can top the cake with buttercream instead of just fresh cream.
Homemade Lemon Curd Scrummy TV 2024-09-21 | #lemoncurd #HomemadeLemonCurd #lemonrecipes Whip up this delicious homemade lemon curd with just a few simple ingredients! 🍋 It's tangy, creamy, and perfect for spreading on toast, filling cakes, or spooning straight from the jar. This easy recipe will bring a burst of sunshine to your kitchen. Let’s make something zesty and irresistible together!Homemade Lemon CurdTimings:Preparation Time: 15 minutesCooking Time: 15 minutesTotal Time: 30 minutesServes: 2 x 370g JarsIngredients• Zest of 5 Lemons• Juice of 5 Lemons• 2/3 cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) Unsalted Butter• 1 1/4 cups (250 g / 8.8 oz) Caster Sugar• 3 Medium Eggs• 3 Medium Egg YolksInstructions1. Sterilise your jars: Ensure your jam jars are thoroughly cleaned and sterilised so the lemon curd will keep well. A simple method is to run them through the dishwasher on their own for a squeaky-clean finish.2. Prepare the lemon mixture: In a large heatproof bowl (such as a glass bowl), combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and caster sugar. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water (make sure the water isn’t boiling). Stir occasionally until the butter has melted completely.3. Add the eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks together until well combined. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the lemon mixture while whisking constantly. Continue whisking all the ingredients together in the heatproof bowl for 10-14 minutes.4. Check consistency: The curd is ready when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon without dripping off too much. It should be smooth, creamy, and have the consistency of custard. Don’t worry if it seems slightly pourable; it will thicken more as it cools.5. Strain and cool: Strain the curd through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lemon zest, then allow it to cool completely. Stir occasionally as it cools to maintain an even consistency. Once fully cool, transfer the curd into the sterilised jars.6. Store and keep: Once cooled and jarred, store the lemon curd in the fridge. Properly stored, the lemon curd will keep for up to two weeks.7. Mmm, Scrummy!! Enjoy your delicious homemade lemon curd spread on toast, scones, or as a filling for cakes and desserts.

First Rise.Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.6. Shape the Loaf.Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Shape it into an oval loaf by folding and tucking the sides under. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lightly sprinkled with flour. Use a sharp knife to make three diagonal slashes across the top of the loaf and sprinkle with a little flour.7. Second Rise.Cover the loaf with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise again for about 45 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.8. Preheat the Oven.While the dough is undergoing its second rise, preheat your oven.9. Bake.Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bakeFor 25 minutes at220°C/ 440°F200°C/400°F FanGas Mark 7.And then turn down to the following for 10 minutes200°C/ 400°F180°C/360°F FanGas Mark 6.10 Cool.Remove the loaf from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack.

Soft, fluffy cupcakes topped with a swirl of buttercream and delicate ‘wings’, these sweet treats are perfect for any occasion. Fun to make and delicious to eat, they’re sure to bring smiles all around. 🍰🧁 Butterfly BunsTIMINGS.• Prep Time: 5 min.• Cooking Time: 20 mins.• Total Time: 25 min.SERVINGS. 12 cakesINGREDIENTS.Fairy Cakes• ½ cup (110g/3 ½ oz) Butter/Margarine (I use Stork Margarine)• ½ cup (110g/3 ½ oz) Sugar• 2 Eggs• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract• ½ cup (110g/3 ½ oz) Self Raising Flour• ½ tsp Baking PowderVanilla Buttercream• ¼ cup (100g/3 ½ oz) Butter, room temperature• 1 ½ cups (225g/8 oz) Icing/Powdered Sugar• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract• 1-2 tbsp Hot Water (only if the buttercream is thick )To Decorate• 6 tsp Strawberry/Raspberry Jam• Icing SugarMethod:1. Preheat the oven to the following temperatures.•160°C/320°F [Fan Oven]• 180°C/360°F [No-Fan]• Gas Mark 4.2. Place fairy cases in a 12-hole tin. I place some dried rice in each of the holes as this absorbs the oil during baking.3. In a medium size bowl mix together the butter/margarine and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.4. Add the eggs 1 at a time while continuing to mix while adding, add the vanilla extract and mix it in.5. Fold in the flour and baking powder and mix until fully combined, be careful not to overmix.6. Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 fairy cake cases. I use an ice cream scoop if you don’t have one use two dessert spoons.7. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.8. When baked, allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.9. To make the buttercream, beat the butter for 5 minutes to get a nice white colour.10. Add the icing sugar in three stages making sure to mix it in between each addition.11. Add the vanilla extract and when all the icing sugar is added mix for about 5 minutes.12. If you find the buttercream is too thick add a little warm water to loosen it up.13. To decorate the butterfly buns use a sharp knife and cut out a round disc. I like to cut a little from the edge of the fairy cake, cut at an angle and when fully cut push the knife in and lift out the sponge disc.14. Remove the cake disc and if there is a lot of sponge on the bottom cut it off pop the sponge into the hole in the fairy cake and push it down.15. Using a piping bag or a teaspoon, place some buttercream in the hole or pipe a nice big swirl.16. Cut the sponge disc in half and arrange it in the centre of the buttercream-like wings.17. Add a little jam to the centre of the wings.18. Sieve over some icing sugar.19. Mmm, Scrummy!!!

Bake it today and enjoy a slice of comfort! 🍋🍞 Sultana Loaf CakeTIMINGS.• Prep Time: 15 min.• Cooking Time: 45 mins.• Total Time: 60 min.SERVINGS. 8-10 slicesINGREDIENTS.• ½ cup (125g/4 ½) Butter/Margarine (I use Stork)• ½ cup (125g/4 ½ oz) Sugar• 2 Medium Eggs• Zest of 1 Lemon or 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract or 1 tsp of Almond Extract.• 1 ¼ cup (225g/8 oz) Self Raising Flour• 1 cup (175g/7 oz) Sultanas• 2 tbsp of Plain/Self Raising flour (to coat the fruit)Method:1. A few hours before/the night before you want to bake the sultana loaf, soak the sultanas in a mug of cold black tea. When the fruit is plump, use a sieve to drain the fruit and dry the sultanas with a paper towel. This is an optional step but doing this will leave the fruit in the cake nice, moist and flavoursome when baked.2. Preheat the oven to:160°C/320°F [Fan Oven]180°C/360°F [No-Fan]Gas Mark 4.3. Line a 2lb loaf tin with a liner or greaseproof paper and set aside.4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter or margarine with the caster sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, mix in the lemon zest with the first egg.6. Add the self-raising flour and the sultanas, before adding the sultanas add two tablespoons of flour to the sultanas and mix them so that they are fully covered in the flour. Doing this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.7. Gently fold in the flour and sultanas.8. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and level the top.9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake has risen, turned golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.9. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.10. Mmm, Scrummy!!!

How to make a Batch Loaf Scrummy TV 2024-09-04 | #BatchLoaf #HomemadeBread #yeastbread Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked batch loaf straight from the oven! 🍞 Soft, fluffy, and perfect with butter and jam, this traditional bread is a comforting classic. Try baking your own and enjoy a slice of homemade goodness! TIMINGS.• Prep Time: 15 min.• Proofing Time: 2 hours 15 mins.• Baking Time: 45 mins• Total Time: 3 hours 15 min.SERVINGS. 6INGREDIENTS.• 1 ¾ cups (450ml/15.2 fl oz) Warm Water• 1 tbsp (10g/ ½ oz) Fast-action dried yeast• 5 cups (650g/23 oz) Strown White Flour, plus extra for dusting• 1 tsp Salt• 3 tbsp (40g/1 ½ oz) Rapeseed/Vegetable OilMETHOD.1. Place the yeast in a bowl and pour in half the warm water. Stiri the liquid and leave to settle for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.2. Sieve the flour into a large bowl and stir in the salt.3. Pour the oil into the yeast liquid and add to the dry ingredients gradually add the remaining water mixing well until a smooth dough forms. You may need a little more or less water to bring the dough to a consistency where it just has the slightest stickiness. I add the remaining water a little at a time until I get the right consistency.4. Tip the dough on a lightly floured surface and use the heel of your hand to knead the dough for at least 8 minutes until silky and smooth. Alternatively, use a mixer with a dough hook.5. Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and cover with some oiled cling wrap or a damp clean tea towel.6. Leave in a warm place to double in size for 1 ½ to 2 hours.7. When the dough has risen, punch it to knock the air out, then divide it into four equal pieces and form each into a smooth ball. Check out my video to see how I do this.8. Line an 8”/20 cm square deep tin with greaseproof paper. Place the dough balls in the tin, close together so they can join snugly when in the oven.9. Cover the tin with the oiled cling wrap and leave it in a warm place to rise again for around 45 minutes, until doubled in size. (Just be aware once the dough has doubled in size it needs to go in the oven otherwise if left the yeast will stop reacting in the dough and will cause the bread to deflate and won’t rise in the oven).10. Ten minutes before the dough has finished proofing preheat the oven to the following temperatures:• 240°C/480°F [Fan Oven]• 260°C/520°F [No-Fan]• Gas Mark 10.11.Check to see if the dough is ready by placing your finger on one of the loaves and gently pressing down and if it springs back up the dough is ready. If the dough doesn’t spring back up then you have overproofed your bread - it can still be baked but won’t rise any further in the oven.12. Sprinkle the tops of the bread with a little flour.13. Fill a deep tray with a few cups of boiling water and place it in the oven on the bottom shelf. This will give the bread a nice crunchy crust on top. Place the bread in the oven.14. Bake for 45 minutes until the tops are dark and crisp and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped.15. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the tin and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.16. When ready to use, tear the bread into individual loaves and cut it into thick slices. Enjoy with butter and jam.17. Mmm, Scrummy!!!

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake has risen, turned golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.7.

Preheat the oven to: 160°C/320°F [Fan Oven]180°C/360 [No-Fan]Gas Mark 4.2. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper. My baking tray measures 12 ½ “ x 9 “.3. In a saucepan add the golden syrup and butter and melt under medium heat making sure to stir continuously so it doesn’t burn or stick. A good tip to remove the golden syrup from the tin is to lightly grease a spoon with a little oil before placing it in the tin and it runs off the spoon real easily.4. When melted, mix together the baking soda and boiling water in a bowl and add to the melted butter and syrup and mix it in. The mixture will foam up a little. Remove from the heat.5. In a medium-sized bowl add the self-raising flour, porridge oats, sugar and desiccated and mix.6. Pour the butter and golden syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.7. Take a heaped dessert spoon of the mixture and place it in your hand and bring it together into a ball (I squeeze it) about the size of a large walnut, flatten it a little and shape it into a circle before placing it on the lined baking tray. Repeat this until all the mixture is used up. Leave room between each one for the biscuits to spread. I place 8 biscuits on each baking tray.8. Bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.9. When golden in colour remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes on the tray before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.10. Mmm, Scrummy!!! STORAGE.• The flapjacks will keep in an airtight tin for up to 7 days. • You can freeze flapjacks for up to 3 months.

Preheat your oven to the following temperatures• 160°C/320°F [Fan Oven]• 180°C/260°F [No-Fan]• Gas Mark 4.2. Prepare your 8"/20cm deep springform tin. If using a springform tin, line it with a piece of parchment paper or flip the base of the tin the other way around so there is no ridge, making it easier to get the cheesecake off the base. Check out my video on how to remove a cheesecake from a tin for lots of tips. 3. In a food processor, blitz the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and place them into a medium-sized bowl. 4 Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin and refrigerate for 15 minutes.The Cheesecake Filling1. In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix the full-fat cream cheese, sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice and creme fraiche on a slow speed until well combined.2. Slowly add in the eggs while continuing to whisk on low speed.3. Gently fold in the raspberries then carefully pour the mixture into the prepared tin and level the top.4. Bake in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.5. Once baked, leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for 2 hours. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking as it cools.6. After cooling, wrap the cheesecake (still in the tin) in foil or cling wrap and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 7 hours.7. The next day, once fully chilled, run a knife around the edges of the tin and carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin. I use a knife and carefully place it under the biscuit base and slide it the whole way around. Then I gently slide it onto a serving plate.Raspberry Coulis1. Place the raspberries in a saucepan with the sugar and heat over medium heat.2. Mash the raspberries with a fork and continue to heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the fruit turns into a sauce.3. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl, discarding the leftover seeds.4. Refrigerate the coulis until needed.5. When ready to serve, decorate your cheesecake with fresh raspberries, drizzles of the coulis, and a dusting of icing sugar. Enjoy!6. Mmm, Scrummy!!!

Classic White LoafTimings.• Prep Time: 10 mins.• Proofing Time: 1 hour 45 mins• Baking Time: 45 mins.• Total Time: 2 hours 40 mins Servings. 16 slicesIngredients.• 3 cups (500g/17 ½ oz) Strong White Flour *(All-purpose or Plain Flour can also be used see note)• 1 tbsp Sugar• 2 tsp (7g/ 0.25 oz) Sachet of Fast Action Yeast• 1 tsp Salt• 1 ¼ cups (325ml/10.98 fl oz) Lukewarm Water.• 3 tbsp (50g/1 ½ oz) Butter, melted• 1 Medium Egg, beaten. • Oil for greasing.Oven Temperatures:Preheat the oven: • Fan Oven: 180°C/360°F. •Oven: 200°C/400°F.• Gas Mark 6. METHOD.1. Combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl, make sure not to place the salt on top of the yeast or it will affect the yeast's reaction in the dough.2. In a jug mix together the lukewarm water, melted butter and egg.3. Create a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in half the liquid and mix with your fingers or a wooden spoon until a slightly wet and workable dough forms. Continue to add more liquid until you get a nice soft dough.4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, this can be done using a tabletop mixer with a dough hook. 5. Place the dough in a clean, oiled bowl, and cover with cling film,( I lightly grease the cling wrap with oil to help prevent it from sticking to the dough when it rises). 6. Place in a warm place and allow it to rise until it doubles in size. This should take about an hour if it doesn't double in size move to a warmer place.7. When it’s doubled in size knock back the dough with your fist by just pushing your fist down through the centre of the dough. 8. Tip it onto a floured surface and shape the dough into an oblong shape.9. Brush a 900g/2Ib loaf tin with some oil making sure to oil the top edges of the tin as the dough will expand over them.10. Place the dough in the tin and gently press it so it fits.11. Cover with a clean tea towel or lightly oiled cling wrap and let it prove in a warm place for 40 minutes until it doubles in size. (Be cautious not to overproof the dough by leaving it too long before putting it in the oven, as this can cause it to deflate and lose its rise. The yeast will start to lose its effectiveness if over-proofed).12. 15 minutes before the proofing time is up, preheat the oven to the above temperatures. A hot oven is important for baking the bread.13. Remove the cling wrap and dust the top lightly with a little flour.14. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden in colour or, until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base after being removed from the tin. 15. Cool the bread completely on a wire rack. The loaf will remain fresh in an airtight container for 3-4 days or can be frozen for up to 1 month.16. Mmm, Scrummy!!!NOTEAll-purpose and plain flour can be used for this recipe but won’t need as much liquid compared to strong white flour or bread flour so my advice is add half the liquid, mix it in and add a little at a time mixing until you get the right consistency.

No Knead Crusty Bread Scrummy TV 2024-07-04 | #NoKneadBread #CrustyBread #EasyBreadRecipeDiscover the easiest way to make delicious, no-knead crusty white bread right at home! 🍞✨ Watch my step-by-step video tutorial and impress your family with bakery-quality bread. This yeast bread doesn't need kneading and is super fast to make, even with yeast. Click now to start baking! No Knead Crusty BreadTimings.• Prep Time: 10 mins.• Proofing Time: 2 hours• Cook Time: 40 mins.• Total Time: 2 hours 50 mins.Servings. 12 slicesIngredients.• 2 ¾ cups (450g/15 ½ oz) Strong White Flour (can use all-purpose/plain flour)• 2 tsp Fast Action Yeast• 2 tsp Salt• 1 ½ cups (375ml/12 ½ floz) Warm WaterOven Temperatures:• Preheat the oven: • Fan Oven: 220°C/440°F.• Oven: 240°C/480°F.• Gas Mark 9. METHOD.1. Mix the Dough: Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add water, and use the handle of a wooden spoon to stir until the flour is fully incorporated. The dough should be wet and sticky, not kneadable but also not runny like cake batter. Adjust with more water or flour as necessary to achieve the right consistency.2. Let It Rise: Cover the bowl with cling wrap or a plate and let it sit on the counter for 2-3 hours until it doubles in size, becomes wobbly like jelly, and has a bubbly top. If after an hour it hasn't started rising, move it to a warmer spot.3. Optional - Refrigeration for Enhanced Flavour: At this point, you can either proceed to baking (move to Step 5) or refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days to develop more flavour.4. Warm the Dough: If you refrigerate the dough, let it sit on the counter for 45-60 minutes while the oven preheats, as the cold dough doesn't rise as well.5. Preheat the Oven: Place a Dutch oven or heavy roasting dish with its lid on in the oven (my pot is 10 inches in width and 4 inches deep ) and preheat to the above temperatures for 30 minutes before baking. (See Note 8 if you don't have a Dutch oven).6. Shape the Dough: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour on a piece of parchment/greaseproof paper (big enough to fit in a Dutch oven), and scrape the dough out of the bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of flour on top. Use a dough scraper, cake server, large knife, or spatula to fold the sides inward (about 6 folds) to form a rough, round shape. 7. Place Dough in Pot: Remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven and use the paper to place the dough into the pot. Put the lid on.8. Bake: Bake the dough for 30 minutes with the lid on, then for an additional 12 minutes uncovered, or until the bread is deep golden and crispy.9. Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool on a rack for 30 minutes before slicing.10. Mmm, Scrummy!!!Notes if you don’t have a Dutch Oven Alternative to Dutch Oven: If you don't have a Dutch oven, use a 20cm (8 inches) square metal pan (avoid glass, as it may shatter). Place the metal pan in the oven on the middle shelf where the bread will bake, or on the shelf below if the tray doesn’t fit on the same shelf. Preheat the oven and boil a kettle. Place the parchment paper with the shaped dough on a baking tray. When ready to bake, work quickly: put the bread in the oven, fill the metal pan with boiling water, and close the oven door. This creates a makeshift Dutch oven steamer effect. Bake for the full 40 minutes until the bread is a deep golden brown.Using a Roasting Pan: A heavy roasting pan with a high lid can also be used. Preheat it as per the recipe instructions. The bread should rise to about 8-10cm (3.2-4 inches) tall.

The dough should become smooth and elastic, stretching without breaking.5. Place the dough into a large oiled bowl and let it proof in a warm spot for about one hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Roll each piece gently between your palms to form a round shape.7. Place the rolls a little apart in a slightly oiled 9-inch x 13-inch baking tray.

Try this creamy tomato garlic pasta! It's an easy, time-effective recipe that brings together the tangy flavour of tomatoes, the richness of Parmesan cheese, and the warmth of garlic in just 10 minutesCreamy Tomato and Garlic One Pot Pasta Timings.• Prep Time: 5 mins.• Cooking Time: 5 mins• Total Time: 10 mins.Servings. 1.Ingredients.• 1 cup (75g/2 ½ oz) Pasta, I use Rigatoni • 1 tbsp Olive Oil• 2 tbsp Garlic, chopped finely• 12 Cherry Tomatoes, sliced in half• Pinch of Black pepper• Pinch of Salt• 1 tsp Chilli flakes (optional)• A couple of basil leaves.• 1 ladle of Pasta Water• Parmesan as much as you fancyMethod.1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Important: Do not discard the pasta water, as it is vital for the recipe.2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.3. Add chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.4. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.5. Push the tomatoes to the side of the skillet and add tomato paste. Stir it around for a minute to cook off the raw taste.6. Sprinkle black pepper, salt and chili flakes (if using) over the pasta. Adjust the amount of chilli flakes to your spice preference.7. When the pasta is al dente, take a ladleful of pasta water and add it to the tomato mixture. This helps the pasta stick to the sauce and makes the tomatoes more sauce-like.8. Toss the cooked pasta into the pan with the tomato paste and cherry tomatoes. Mix everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.9. Grate Parmesan cheese directly over the pasta, adding as much as you desire. Gently mix the pasta to incorporate the cheese and create a creamy texture. The heat from the pasta and skillet will melt the cheese and create a delicious sauce.10. Plate the creamy tomato garlic pasta in bowls. Top with additional Parmesan cheese and a couple of basil leaves.11. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding cooked chicken, Quorn meat replacement or sautéed vegetables!12. Mmm, Scrummy!!

Add the buttermilk a little at a time to the dry ingredients and mix until you get a soft dough, if it’s too wet add a little extra flour.5. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead a little, bringing it into a round shape about 1 ½ inches deep.7. Place on the floured baking tray and cut a deep cross in the dough. Use a sharp knife and sprinkle with flour to get a nice clean cut. Use the knife to poke a hole in each of the bread sections.8. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes, test with a skewer to ensure it’s fully baked. 9. Allow to cool fully before cutting.10. Mmm, Scrummy!!

Strawberry and Peach Trifle Scrummy TV 2024-05-14 | #trifle #fruittriflerecipe #easytriflerecipe My mother has been perfecting her unique Strawberry and Peach Trifle recipe for over three decades. This delightful dessert stands out from the conventional jelly and fruit trifle. In our family's version, strawberries and peaches are blended into a smooth puree and gently poured over trifle sponges, allowing the rich fruit flavors to soak into the sponge. Optionally, sherry can be added to enhance the taste, and it is equally delicious with or without alcohol. The trifle is then layered with creamy custard and topped with a generous amount of fresh whipped cream. For decoration, it features a sprinkle of hundreds and thousands, fresh strawberries, and a touch of mint, making it visually appealing as well. This trifle has become a beloved highlight at family gatherings and is consistently enjoyed by all who taste it. If you're looking to try a trifle with a twist, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try.Strawberry and Peach Trifle/Christmas TrifleStrawberry and Peach Trifle/Christmas TrifleTimings.• Prep Time: 15 mins.• Chill Time: 5 hours.• Total Time: 5 hrs 15Ingredients.• 1 tin (410g/14oz) Strawberries in juice• 1 tin (410g/14 oz) of Peaches in juice.• 3 Packs x 160g Trifle Sponges • Juice of 2 large Oranges.• 1 ¼ cup (300ml/10.14 fl oz ) Fresh Cream, whipped.• 1 pint (568 ml/19.02 fl oz) of Custard, I use Birds.• 3 tbsp (50ml/1.7 fl.oz) Sherry ,(optional).• Fresh Strawberries, to decorate.• Sprinkles - Hundreds and Thousands• Fresh Mint (optional).• Edible Silver Glitter (optional).Method.1.

Using a knife poke it into the trifle in a few places this helps the fruit absorb into the sponges.9. Cover with cling wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 5 hours or overnight.10. Make the custard and allow it to cool slightly before pouring it onto the trifle.11.
