Naan

This homemade naan recipe makes soft, chewy naan with a buttery taste. It is the best I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. Simply delicious eaten warm brushed with melted butter or served with your favorite curry.

Breakfast and Brunch

Vegan Overnight Pancakes

These vegan pancakes are amazing and sweet! And if you don’t want to bother with a lot of dishes this is a good recipe because you use the blender! Plus, you don’t have to get up early to make them; make the night before and store in fridge. Gently stir fruit into the batter before cooking, if desired.

Bread

Easy Homemade Pizza Dough

This is a great recipe when you don’t want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it’s ready to go! It yields a soft, chewy crust.

Julene’s Spelt Cookies

These are a heartier version of the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipes. Using spelt flour, which is higher in protein and lower in carbohydrate, is a very nice change. The cookies are easy to make and are delicious!
Spelt flour is now available in many grocery stores and all health food stores. Try adding sunflower seeds, almonds, shredded coconut, or oats to the batter for something different!

Breakfast and Brunch

Authentic German Bread (Bauernbrot)

Here is a great recipe for authentic German Sourdough Bread. This bread tastes almost exactly like the bread we buy back home in Bavaria, Germany. There, to this day, they bake their bread in a very old stone oven in the middle of a small village, once every 2 weeks. They bake a whole bunch at once, and then you can buy it and freeze extras until the next baking day. It’s the best German bread I know!

Cuisine

Rosettes

Cook rosettes on a rosette iron, then sprinkle with sugar.

Cuisine

Easy Mochi

Mochi are small, sweet Japanese cakes made with glutinous rice flour (mochiko). They have a soft, chewy outer layer and a deliciously sticky filling made of sweetened red bean paste. Freezing the red bean paste before you use it is optional but it does make the process easier.

Mom’s Spelt Bread

My mother’s wheat allergy means that in our house everything was baked with spelt. This is the bread recipe I grew up on, and I’ve never seen a spelt bread to equal it. This bread is delicious warm but will slice much more neatly when cooled fully.
