One dough - different faces

The dough I'm talking about is a special yeast-dough. The specific thing about is the time, the dough has to be kneaded.

By kneading the dough for a long time, the texture is getting smoother and warmer again.

The baked result is a very fluffy and tastful cake.

When green mango meets red plum..

... and on their way together they come across a little bit of cinnamon... this will defenitely end as a jam on french baguette.




At least when this happens at Vanilla Hills.

Welcome the new member of our "Bread Family"

Maxi Grain Bread


The new bread is definitely something for bread lovers, who set a great value upon good nutrition. The bread includes 7 different kind of seeds and grains.
Rye flour and freshly ground whole grains, whole wheat grains (freshly ground), spelt flour, sesame and flax seeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. It contains home made breadspices with caraway, anise and fennel.

Needless to say that only my new "fancy" kitchen gadget (the mill), made it possible to get the freshly ground rye and wheat.

the right equipment

To bake good bread with fresh ingredients, you need the right equipment.

Yesterday I got a seed grinder in Spanish Lookout. (By the way... this thing looks like from the Middle Ages).


Now I can grind my rye and wheat grains and use the shredded grains for a very healthy bread.
