Bread halwa recipe | Easy bread halwa without milk

Basic bread dough

g Active dried yeast, (14 g fresh)

Sugar

Water

Flour (Main)

Salt

ml Oil

If using dried yeast, mix together the yeast and sugar in 3 Tbsp warm water. Leave for 15 minutes until it starts to foam. (Fresh yeast can be crumbled directly into the flour.)

Put the flour on a bench and make a well in the middle.

Gradually pour the yeast mix and the 325ml water into the well, using your fingers to incorporate the wet with the dry. Make sure the water does not "breach" the sides of the well. Add the salt and mix well.

Start kneading by pushing the dough away from you with the heel of your hand. You have to be vigorous with this action.

Roll and pull back towards you and repeat. This will take around 10 minutes. Move the bread slightly every time you push out so that you gradually incorporate the flour on the bench. If the dough is too damp, you can add a little flour.

With your fingers, take a small piece of dough and pull it apart to see the development of the strands of gluten. If you can see through the dough and it does not tear, the gluten has developed and the bread can rest to rise. Keep kneading until it reaches this stage.

Form into a ball shape by rolling the dough and pulling it back on itself. The bread should look smooth and glossy.

Brush a bowl lightly with oil. Coat the dough in the oil to prevent it drying out. Cover with plastic wrap or a cloth to rise. Depending on the ambient temperature of the room, this can take 30-60 minutes. It is a good idea to put it near a warm oven or hot water cupboard.

To finish, heat oven to 220C. Knock back and shape. Place on an oiled baking tray. Sprinkle with flour or brush with beaten egg or oil. Slash the top and leave to prove for 10-15 minutes.

Bake for 10 minutes then turn oven down oven to 190C and cook for another 10 minutes. You know it is cooked when you tap the bottom of the loaf and it has a "hollow" sound. Leave to cool.

Gluten-free reduced sugar mini Hummingbird cakes

Eggs,

300 ml Vegetable oil

Bananas, ripe, peeled and mashed (Main)

tsp Pure vanilla extract

tsp Ground cinnamon

280 g Spelt flour, or gluten-free flour mix (Main)

tsp Baking soda

pineapple

70 g Hazelnuts, toasted, skinned

Walnuts,

golden sugar

Butter,

g Cream cheese, cold

Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease mini muffin tins.

Put the sugar, eggs, oil, banana, vanilla and cinnamon in a mixer with a paddle attachment (or you can use a hand mixer) and beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Don't worry if the mixture looks slightly split.

Slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt and continue to beat until everything is well mixed.

By hand, carefully stir in the crushed pineapple and chopped hazelnuts and walnuts (or use one kind of nut) until evenly mixed.

Using a teaspoon, fill each greased (silicon tins are great for these) mini muffin hole till three quarters full and bake for 20 minutes.

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently tip out on to a wire cooling rack.

When cool, fill a piping bag (fit with a #20 round tip, or cut a 1cm hole at the tip of your bag) with frosting and pipe a round blob onto each mini cake and top with a whole hazelnut, half a walnut or a piece of Sweet As freeze-dried pineapple.

Beat the icing sugar and butter together on medium speed until the mixture comes together and starts to clump.

Add the cream cheese and beat until it is completely incorporated. Turn the mixer speed up and continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy. Take care not to overbeat, as it can quickly become runny.
