Garden focaccia
Recipe Gallery Share the Love Recipe 0 Prep Time 0 Cook Time Serves 4 4 – 6 People Difficulty 0 Beginner Ingredients • 4 cups (512 g) white bread flour @eurekamils• 2 teaspoons (10 g) pink salt• 1 packet instant dry yeast (11 g) dry yeast,• 2 cups (455 g) lukewarm water, made by combining 1/2 cup boiling water with 1 1/2 cupscold water• Oil for greasing• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided• flaky sea salt• 1 to 2 teaspoons whole rosemary leaves, optional• Peppers to top• Red onion to top• Capers• Sliced tomatoes of choice• Fresh herbs or dried herbs to top Method Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Add the water. Using a rubber spatula, mix until the liquid is absorbed and the ingredients form a sticky dough ball. Rub the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel, cloth bowl cover, or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator immediately for at least 12 hours or for as long as three days. NOTE: It is important the dough really beslicked with olive oil especially if you are using a cloth bowl cover or tea towel as opposed to plastic wrap or a hard lid. If you are using a tea towel, consider securing it with a rubber bandto make a more airtight cover. If you do not slick the dough with enough oil, you risk the dough drying out and forming a crust over the top layer. Make use of a large square pan and grease with oil or coat with nonstick cooking spray. Pour a tablespoon of oil into the center of each pan or 2 tablespoons. Using two forks, deflate the dough by releasing it from the sides of the bowl and pulling it toward the center. Rotate the bowl in quarter turns as you deflate, turning the mass into a rough ball. Roll the dough ball in the oil to coat it all over, forming a rough ball. Repeat with the remaining pieces. Let the dough rest for 3 to 4 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 180 degrees Celsius. If using the rosemary, sprinkle it over the dough. Pour a tablespoon of oil over. Rub your hands lightly in the oil to coat, then, using all of your fingers, press straight down to create deep dimples. If necessary, gently stretch the dough as you dimple to allow the dough to fill the pan. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt all over. Add your desired decorations with the peppers, onions, capers, tomatoes, and herbs. Transfer the pans or pan to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the underside is golden and crisp. Remove the pans or pan from the oven and transfer the focaccia to a cooling rack. Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving; let it cool completely if youare having it with the intention of making a sandwich.

Sticky Mushroom Bao Buns
Recipe Gallery Share the Love Recipe 0 Prep Time 0 Cook Time Serves 2 4 – 6 People Difficulty 0 Beginner Ingredients Store-bought Bao buns, steamed or make your own recipe HERE 2 cups Sticky Asian fried oyster mushrooms Chopped purple cabbage chopped regular cabbage finely sliced carrot diced baby cucumber pickled radishes 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise Fresh cilantro sesame seeds Sticky Asian oyster mushroom fried “chicken” 2 cups oyster mushrooms 1 tbsp corn starch 1 cup all-purpose or self-rising flour 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 cup soy milk or plant milk of choice 1/4 cup water or soda water 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander salt and pepper to taste Crumble 1 1/2 cups cornflakes 1 heaped tbsp cornstarch salt to taste Sticky BBQ sauce 1/3 cup bbq sauce of choice 1 tbsp sriracha (sub with chilli oil or hot sauce of choice) 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 tbsp sesame oil salt to taste Method Steam or make the Bao buns. To make the Asian sticky chicken start by rubbing the oyster mushrooms clean with paper towels. For the dipping, mix the flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and salt in a bowl, whisk in the milk and soda water, and add the spices. Crunch topping, blend the cornflakes and mix with the corn starch and salt (I like to add popped popcorn, a bit chunky to this mix, as it adds so much texture) Dip the mushrooms in the flour mixture, remove with a fork to remove that excess moisture and then roll in the cornflake topping). Deep fry or air-fry/bake until crispy. Takes about 15 minutes in the air-fryer and 20 minutes in the oven. Once golden, mix the bbq sauce ingredients and dip or brush the “chicken pieces’ until covered. Bake again for another 5-8 minutes. Add sesame seeds on top and then generously start building your Bao buns. Layer with diced cabbage, carrot slices, “chicken” pieces, cucumber, radishes, and fresh cilantro. For the mayo, just mix the Sriracha and vegan mayonnaise until smooth, add generous drizzles on the Bao buns and serve. Photo Gallery Hope you love these fluffy Buns as much as I do!! M*
