1768. Caramel Chocolate Pudding


Here is a simple idea using just three ingredients which are calculated as a ratio. So depending on what you have available, and how many you plan to make for, you can work out the rest based on that. Simple!

1767. Airfryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers


Most times, a lengthy ingredients list (anything over 10 ingredients) is enough to deter me from making a recipe. In this case, most of the ingredients are pantry spices, so I tried it and was not disappointed.

1766. Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats


Another overnight oat recipe is probably not what this blog needs, but this was just too go not to share. Instead of jam, frozen blueberries are cooked down, sweetened with some honey, and thickened with chia seeds.

1765. Baguettes


This is an easy no-knead baguette recipe that only asks for some of your time and attention to make. The beautiful baguette tray is optional, but does make the baking experience nicer. The flour, salt, yeast, and water are mixed, rested, and follow two cycles of stretch and fold, with resting times between. Then the mixture is put to sleep in the refrigerator overnight, before being shaped and baked the next day.


Ingredients:

3.5 cups flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp  sugar
2 cups warm water



Method:

Mix all ingredients by hand until no more flour can be seen and the dough forms a sticky ball to the fingers. Cover and let rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
Uncover: the dough has doubled in volume so fold over the edges once and then cover.
After another 30 minutes, repeat the operation one last time by folding the edges.
Cover and let rest refrigerated overnight.
Place the dough on a floured work surface and divide into 4 pieces.
Form 4 long strands, flatten them slightly and roll the dough on itself to form a French baguette.
Place on a lined baking sheet (or lined baguette baking tray), brush with cold water and let rest for 30 minutes uncovered, at room temperature.
Score the bread and bake in a preheated 420F oven for 20 minutes with an ice tray under, then remove the ice tray and bake for another 15 minutes. Cool at least 45 minutes before cutting.

1764. Cinnamon Roll Cake


I have a tender spot for family recipes. Usually, they just can't be beat. They would make the cut as family recipes because they stood the test of time. Although this cinnamon bun cake is somebody's family recipe, I wouldn't go as far a making it mine, but it certainly does satisfy a donut craving for sure.

1762. Lebanese Molokhiya


Molokhiya is such a buzz in the Arab world, but I just couldn't bring myself to give it a chance after one botched experience. The leaves are naturally slimy, and the resulting stew is apparently a large pot of delicious slime. Problem is, I couldn't get myself to accept it. Now I've found the solution.
