Quick bread!

The Daring Bakers’ February 2012 host was – Lis! Lisa stepped in last minute and challenged us to create a quick bread we could call our own. She supplied us with a base recipe and shared some recipes she loves fom various websites and encouraged us to build upon them and create new flavor profiles.

I made the quick bread as soon as I read the challenge in the beginning of Februari. In fact I was so early (this was a first!) that I couldn't publish it on my blog yet. And now I realised I forgot to do it at all!!! OMG I hope I'm just in time :-s

Here's my quick bread: superfast corn muffins with bacon and cheese... yummie!



Supersnel maïsbrood (4 personen)

Bereiden: 5 minuten In de oven: 35 minuten

Dit cake-achtige broodje is supersnel klaar. Niet uitgebreid kneden, niet uren rijzen op een warme plek. Het is gewoon een kwestie van even alle ingrediënten door elkaar roeren en vervolgens kan het de oven in. Dampend warm het lekkerst! Bijvoorbeeld bij een maaltijdsalade, of met een dipschaaltje olijfolie erbij.

Nodig: 1kopje bloem (100 g) 1kopje polenta(maïsgriesmeel) (150 g) 1el bakpoeder 2eieren 1kopje melk (2 dl) flinke scheut olijfolie (1/4 kopje) 1volle tl zout klontje boter (om in te vetten)

1. Oven voorverwarmen op 200°C 2. Meng bloem, polenta, bakpoeder en zout door elkaar. 3. Giet de eieren, melk en olijfolie erbij. 4. Klop alles kort door elkaar. 5. Vet een cakeblik in met wat boter en bepoeder licht met wat bloem. 6. Giet het mengsel erin en zet in de oven. 7. Na 35-40minuten is het brood goudbruin en gaar.

Serveren: Snij het brood (dat niet heel hoog wordt) in handzame smalle sneetjes. Ideale begeleider van salade, bijvoorbeeld deze andijviesalade met linzen. Ook lekker met een schaaltje olijfolie om in te dippen, of wat roomboter.

Back to Basics:Scones

Audax Artifex was our January 2012 Daring Bakers’ host. Aud worked tirelessly to master light and fluffy scones (a/k/a biscuits) to help us create delicious and perfect batches in our own kitchens!


Deze scones heb ik bij De Taart van m'n Tante gemaakt voor een publicatie in het J/M magazine :-D

LETTING NATURE DO THE WORK: SOURDOUGH

Our Daring Bakers Host for December 2011 was Jessica of My Recipe Project and she showed us how fun it is to create Sour Dough bread in our own kitchens! She provided us with Sour Dough recipes from Bread Matters by AndrewWhitley as well as delicious recipes to use our Sour Dough bread in from Tonia George’s Things on Toast and Canteen’s Great British Food!

Candylicious!

The August 2011 Daring Bakers’ Challenge was hosted by Lisa of Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drive and Mandy of What the Fruitcake?!. These two sugar mavens challenged us to make sinfully delicious candies! This was a special challenge for the Daring Bakers because the good folks at http://www.chocoley.com offered an amazing prize for the winner of the most creative and delicious candy!

This is my third Daring Bakers Challenge, and finally one I was able to complete before the deadline :-D
I liked the theme very much, and the results even better!

I decided to try a few different things, because I have a weak for everything sweet.

So here are:

Chocolate marshmallow fudge

Coconut Ice

Chocolate with a running caramel filling

Chocolate with a filling of almond and walnut paste

Chocolate with a filling of chewy caramel

Chocolate with a creamy coconut filling

Honeycomb

Pate de Fruit (blackberry)

and cakepops!

The Daring Bakers’ July, 2011 Challenge: Fresh Fraisiers

Jana of Cherry Tea Cakes was our July Daring Bakers’ host and she challenges us to make Fresh Frasiers inspired by recipes written by Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson in the beautiful cookbook Tartine.

MARQUISE ON MERINGUE

The May 2011 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Emma of CookCraftGrow and Jenny of Purple House Dirt. They chose to challenge everyone to make a Chocolate Marquise. The inspiration for this recipe comes from a dessert they prepared at a restaurant in Seattle.

Dit was de eerste keer dat ik mee deed aan de Daring Bakers. Niet helemaal handig gepland zo vlak voor mijn eindpresentatie van school, maar op het nippertje nog net kunnen maken (en posten!).
