We all have our favourite bites. My favourite bite of a brownie is the slightly burnt corner edge. My favorite sips of coffee are the first and the last. My favourite part of a pizza is the crusty edge.

Dough:

2 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 pkt fresh yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cups water (lukewarm)
1/3 cup melted butter

Make a dough, leave to rise for an hour. 
Once risen, knead dough and seperate into balls and roll out pizza dough. 
Pre heat oven to 180 

1 Bottle All Joy Pasta Sauce
Tomato Cubed
Green and Red Pepper Cubed
Onion RIngs
1 jalepeno diced finely or store bought preserved  jalepeno peppers
Cheese ( I Prefer White Cheese and Mozzarella)
Feta Cubes
Garnish with Fresh Herbs 

Spread some of the Pasta sauce on the bottom of pizza Base, top with toppings and bake.





I stand by the fact that the best part of baking is sharing what you create with people who you love.  Baking is totally a love language.  If you can share your favourite bites?… now that’s something special.



Vanilla Vanilla Cuppies


Cupcake


  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract




  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Line 2 (1/2 cup-12 capacity) muffin tins with cupcake papers.
    In a small bowl, combine the flours. Set aside.
    In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not over beat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended. Carefully spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
    Cool the cupcakes in tins for 15 minutes. Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before icing.

    Malva Pudding

    2 large eggs
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    3 Tbs apricot jam
    2 Tbs melted butter
    2/3 cup full cream milk
    1 tsp vinegar
    1 cup cake flour
    1 tsp bicarbonate
    1 pinch salt


    Sauce:
    80 ml cream
    40 ml water
    1 Tbs butter
    80 ml brown sugar

    Topping:
    250 ml fresh cream - to whip
    60 ml icing sugar 

    Preheat the oven to 180ÂșC.
    Beat the sugar and eggs together until the sugar has dissolved.
    Add the apricot jam and melted butter and whisk/beat to combine.
    Stir the vinegar into the milk and then pour that into the egg mixture and stir through.
    Sift the dry ingredients and whisk together before adding to the wet ingredients. Whisk to form a smooth batter.

    Line a muffin baking tray with large, high-sided cupcake casings.
    Pour equal amounts of the batter into each of the 12 casings.

    Bake in the oven for 15 – 18 minutes, check if they are done by inserting a knife into the middle of one of the centre cup cakes and if it comes out clean, they are done.

    Whilst the cup cakes are in the oven, place all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously, until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.
    Once the cup cakes are done, remove from the oven, poke several wholes over each surface and pour 1 tablespoon of sauce over each cup cake.



    Allow to cool completely in the muffin tray before adding the topping.
