Home made burgers and bread rolls

Today is about burgers. And home made bread which was a first attempt, but it worked out quite nicely. 

 I enjoy home made burgers because I can be sure of the meat quality and the ingredients used. 

Considering the pandemic situation, when many of our favourite restaurants are closed, I think they make a yummy dinner. 

Ingredients: 

- for the bread: 200 gr flour (mix of pizza and all purpose flour) 

10 gr yeast

2 spoons olive oil 

spices 

- for the burgers: 400 gr minced meat (beef, or mix), 1 egg 

spices 

Bread rolls take about 40 min to prepare and bake. 

For the dough is quite easy: start with the yeast in a half a glass warm water, wait about 5 min, then start to add the flour slowly. Add the oil, some pinch of salt and knead, then let it rest in a warm place about 20 min. 

Once it has risen, you can bake them in previous heated oven for about 10-12min. 

For the burgers, I use a simple recipe: meat mixed with spices and 1 egg, make 4 flat meat balls, fry them 5 min in frying pan, then move the pan in the oven for about 15 min. 

And that' it: the recipe for a home made dinner :) 

Delicious Cream cake - no baking

 A new recipe for a delicious cake suitable for a special day! 

and what is the best part no baking! :) 

Ingredients: 

3 eggs 

cream (for cakes) 

1 cup milk 

1 can of pineapple 

lady fingers 100 gr 

Prep time: around 30 min, but it is better to leave the cake in the fridge over night 

For the cream part: mix the eggs with milk and boil them over very slow fire (baine marie). you can add some flavours: vanilla, orange, etc. Careful not to make an omelette in this way stir all the time. 

When the cream gets some sour cream consistency, it is done. Leave it aside to let it cool. 

Beat up the cream separately according to the instructions. 

Once the egg/milk cream is colder, mix it up with the cream. 

In a baking tray, place a layer of foil, then lay over the pineapple pieces. Pour the cream in tray. but keep about 6-7 spoons of this mix, you will need it for the next day. 

In the juice from the pineapple, place the lad fingers cookies, one by one for couple of seconds. then place them on the top of the cream in the tray. 

Cover everything with foil and place the tray in the fridge over night. 

Next day, you need to flip this entire thingie. so the fruits are up . something like this: 

Next it is only a matter of covering the cake with the cream saved from the previous day. 

You can decorate with more fruits and it's done. Voila! 

Healthy doughnuts - no frying!

 Hello, 

I am a big fan of doughnuts: with jam, chocolate, vanilla cream or confectioners sugar. They remind me of childhood and playful afternoons with friends, when grandma was baking doughnuts for us.

But I also tried to find a more healthy way of baking them and I found one: in the oven, no frying! 

So here it is the recipe: 

Ingredients: 

3 cups flour 

2 yolks 

100 ml milk 

10gr yeast

6 spoons sugar 

3 spoons oil 

flavours (vanilla) 

For the dough, mix all the ingredients and leave it in a warm place to have time to rise. 

This dough was a bit more than I expected ;) 

Time for the work with the roller pin. Roll the dough in a layer of 1cm thickness. Then use a glass to cut the doughnuts. 

Place the doughnuts on baking paper in a tray and leave them again for 30min or so to rise up. 

Once they look puffy, it s time for the baking: 180 degrees C for about 10-12min. 

when they are done, they look like this: 

You can cover them in confectioners sugar and/or fill them up with jam or chocolate.  

More healthy and no more trouble with the frying. 

Enjoy!
