Rose Apple Cake




Last time when I was in Belize City, I got hold of sliced almonds. I had to pay 12 BZ (6$ or 4,50 €) for 170 g - almost a fortune... but sometimes it's worth it.

For the Rose-Apple Cake I needed 80 grams - so I can bake another one... or try something different.

Yogurt-Pecan Munchies with a touch of cocoa




It's not so easy to get nice ingredients here, but every now and then I'll find something special.

This time I was successful at FTC and got some yogurt drops.

I used them together with pecan nuts and cocoa for a new munchie creation.

No Knead Bread


If you bake a lot of bread and you're looking always for new recipes... it's only a question of time until you'll find recipes for "No-Knead-Bread".

Most of them use only all-purpose flour but I found one recipe with different varieties of flour. I used (different as listed) rye, spelt and whole wheat flour. I added pumpkin and sunflower seeds... and pine nuts I brought from Germany. My dough was not as fluid as it should be, but it was gluing like hell at my hands.

The taste is nuttily, the crumbs are fine and the crust is crispy.

But to be honest - I'm more the typ "I-love-to-knead-bread"
