I think there’s only one trick to pita bread. The oven has to be really really hot. Really.
I’m loving my everyday sourdough these days. I make a small loaf every second day (since there’s only two of us to eat it on everyday days). It’s getting heavier and heavier as I get the knack!
Carambolas (Star Fruit) don’t appear in fruit shops much, and I wonder why? They’re a really nice fruit, sweet and juicy and full of vitamin C and potassium. If you live in an area where they will grow, they fruit prolifically in mid-winter and you are likely to have a glut of them.
I’ve cracked it – everyday bread – “everyday” meaning healthy enough for every day (even for someone too inactive to be spendthrift with carbohydrates), and “everyday” meaning easy enough to bother making even on a workday (when all I am looking forward to when I get home is a hot bath and a glass of wine).
I have been waiting for apple season to post this recipe. It is, like all the Muesli Bar Challenge recipes, fast and easy enough to knock up on a weeknight, and low fat, low sugar, low GI enough to belong in everyday school or work lunch boxes.
This recipe is in my handwritten book as Wwoofer’s Zuke Bread because the original came to me from a wwoofer years ago. It’s evolved a bit since then, and I’ve turned it into a muffin to make it more suitable for lunch boxes.
Our northern apricots don’t compare with the golden, aromatic, dripping with juice things I remember from Tasmania.
This is an adaption of an adaption of a traditional Italian recipe.
Our blueberry bushes are bearing and the farm up the road is selling bags of blueberry seconds so this is the second in the Muesli Bar Challenge series featuring blueberries.
Blueberries are right in season up here in northern NSW.
