Whole wheat banana bread shehnaz receipe


INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil or high quality vegetable oil*
½ cup honey or maple syrup
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 ½ medium or 2 large bananas)
¼ cup milk of choice or water
1 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder; they aren’t the same!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top
1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour gluten free 
Totally optional:
 ½ cup mix-ins like chopped walnuts or pecans, chocolate chips, raisins, chopped dried fruit, fresh banana slices…
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you’re adding any additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you’d like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven’t added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Pizza dough recipe

Ingredients


1 cup lukewarm milk 105 degree


1/3 cup lukewarm water 100 to 105F degree no more then that


2 1/4 tsp quick rise or instant dry yeast 


1 large egg, beaten


2 tsp sugar OR honey


3 3/4 cups (476 grams) all-purpose flour


1 tsp  fine salt


Directions


In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, stir together the milk, water, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy and dissolved. Add in the egg and sugar, stirring to combine.
Add in half the flour, stirring until absorbed. Add in the salt. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the remaining flour until combined. Increase speed to medium low and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball and place inside a greased mixing bowl. Turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Punch the dough down. Now the dough is ready to be shaped and used as you wish. If making any rolls or loaves, allow the dough to rise again after being shaped until it’s puffy, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, before baking.

Phase 1 cake

OI just tried my hand at baking with phase 2 in mind and I'm wondering if this will be acceptable. They are so moist and delicious.
I adapted a laurainthekitchen recipe, substituting sugar for splenda, flour for carbquick, cream for milk and raspberry preserve for non sugar added and added xanthan gum... the frosting was smooth until I added the raspberry, but it's still presentable (I only used 1/2 of the frosting.
Ingredients:

1 Cup Splenda

1 Stick Un-Salted Butter, softened

2 Eggs

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/8 tsp Salt

1/8 xanthan gum

1 1/3 Cups Carbquick

1/3 Cup 10% cream

For the Frosting:

1 Stick of Unsalted Butter, softened

½ cup no sugar added Raspberry Preserves

½ tsp Vanilla Extract

3 cups Splenda

Fresh Raspberries, for garnishing

my quick calcs indicate that these would have 12-15 grams of fat each, and we are supposed to be at 6 grams of fat or less. If you cut the butter in half (and change to canola) and used almond milk instead of cream - youd get there.

Kasuri Roast Lahore

Made Chicken Roast famous in Lahore as Deghi Roast or Qasoori Roast using my new steam roaster.

Recipe
Leg quarters or full chicken: 12 or 2 (with roast cuts)
Yogurt 4 table spoons (tbs)
Salt 2 tbs
Red chili powder 1 tbs
Black pepper powder 1 tea spoon (tsp)
Ginger Garlic Paste 2 tbs
Garam Masala powder 1 tbs
Red chili crushed 1 tsp
Coriander powder 1.5 tbs
Zeera powder 1 tbs
Ajwaen 2 pinch

Javetri powder 1/6 tsp
Lemon juice 2 tbs
Cooking oil 2 tbs

Well mix everything and apply this mixture on chicken. Use fingers to push it inside the roasting cuts. Refrigerate for few hours. Now ready to cook.

Gently wipe chicken with hands to remove access spice mixture and save it for next stage. Now heat up fair amount of oil and fry the chicken (2-3 minutes if whole or 1 minute if quarters). Let it rest for 5 minutes and apply spice mixture we saved before frying.

Now place chicken in the steamer (any steamer is good). Cover the pot and put on full flame for 5 minutes then turn flame medium low and let it steam for at least one hour. More is better.

Frying chicken in beginning keeps it intact as one piece and it comes out very moist and tender.

If you think you normally eat one quarter, make two for you when making this style roast and you will still feel hungry😀

Jerk chicken 5 🌟

Jerk Chicken - for dinner tonight, served with Chickpea Rice

Jerk Chicken

Ingredients:

2.5 Lbs or 1Kg Chicken (thighs & drumsticks with skin)

1 tbs ground allspice or pimento
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2/3 Cloves Garlic, minced
2/3 Scotch Bonnet pepper, minced (careful this is extremely hot)

6 Green/Spring onions, thinly chopped
Flat Parsley, thinly chopped
Fresh Coriander, thinly chopped

1/4 cup lime juice
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tbs Brown Sugar
1 tbs olive oil
1/4 tbs ground cinnamon
1/4 tbs ground nutmeg

Method:
After Mincing, Chopping and grinding all the above ingredients (except chicken LOL) mix them together to form a paste
Now coat chicken thoroughly in that paste (wear gloves and remove jewelry prior to this). Leave it to marinate in the fridge overnight (best) or for 3 hours.

If using charcoal BBQ, place chicken (skin side down first), flip after every 5-7 minutes (twice or more as desired).

If not using BBQ, then preheat a pan and add a thin coat of olive oil, sear chicken for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180 C. Place the seared chicken in dutch oven or on a foil covered tray and cook for 30 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

Enjoy with Rice and Peas (I prefer Chickpeas)

For the Rice ‘n’ Peas

Add the kidney beans (including the liquid) & the coconut milk to a large saucepan with the onion, garlic, thyme & salt. Add 2 cups of water, stir through & then bring to the boil.

Meanwhile rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Once the Coconut Milk has reached boiling point add the rice, stir, reduce the heat & simmer for 30 mins or until the rice is cooked.

Once the chicken is cooked, serve alongside the rice ‘n’ peas

Recipe Notes

Yeast

If you are using the packets, you can just use 2 x 7 g sachets, that is 4 1/2 tsp which is slightly more than 1 tablespoon but it works just fine. Doesn't taste yeasty and makes it rise a touch more.

If using fresh yeast (comes in a block that crumbles, not powder like dry yeast), use 27g/ 0.9 oz. You don't actually need to dissolve it in liquid. Crumble it in water and sugar and let stand until it foams up, same as using dry yeast.

2. Scalding hot milk and hot water kills the yeast. I heat milk for 45 seconds on high in the microwave, and use warm tap water. The test is this: stick your finger in  would it be pleasant? Good. It's not too hot or too cold!

3. Breads are fluffier and slightly more tender if made with bread flour rather than normal flour (plain or all purpose). However, this recipe works great with normal white flour .

4. WARM PLACE for dough: This is what I do all year round - use my dryer. Laugh - but try it! Run the (empty) dryer for 1 - 2 minutes, then place the bowl inside. If you do that, the dough will rise in 1.5 hours. Even if it's snowing outside!

5. SUGAR:
This is not a sweet roll (I'd use 1/2 cup+ for that) but there is a touch of sweet. 1/4 cup of sugar across 12 rolls = 1 tsp per roll. You can reduce it to 2 tablespoons of sugar.

6a. MAKE AHEAD: Follow recipe up to rolling balls and cover with cling wrap. Then refrigerate for 4 hours - 24 hours (this is the 2nd rise), take them out 30 minutes before then bake!

6b. STORING: As with all homemade bread, it is best served on the day it's made. Things made using this No-Knead version doesn't keep as well as the kneaded version - dries out more. For the day after, reheating makes all the difference to make them soft and moist again - 15 sec in the microwave! These freeze great cooked, then just defrost. The dough can be frozen too but it won't rise as well (but still fluffy). To reheat batches, I pop them on a tray and cover with foil (to avoid the surface getting too crisp), then reheat at 160C/320F for 8 minutes or so. Or cut in half and toast.

6c. DOUBLING: Make double the batter in one large bowl, then divide the batter into 2 bowls for the first rise (if double the dough is in one giant bowl, may struggle

6d. EXTREME HUMIDITY (eg. South East Asia) can make the dough stickier after the 1st rise and makes it a bit harder to form into balls. Just be generous sprinkling with flour with forming into log, cutting, rolling into balls - don't knead the flour in, use it on the surface for handling purposes only. The dough is stickier than usual kneaded dough, so the technique I demo in the video to make the rolls is specifically to minimise making contact with the sticky dough.

7. This recipe is adapted from various no-knead bread recipes I've come across over the years. I probably first saw it on Martha Stewart or New York Times. The recipe has been tweaked and now I firmly consider this version to be "mine"! 🙂

8. HIGH ALTITUDE: Multiple readers have now reported that this recipe worked out great! Also, varying reports on the dough seeming too dry or too wet then adjusted with more flour compared to that demonstrated in the video have all also worked out fine, proving that this recipe is actually very forgiving!

Fresh parsley or thyme for garnishing

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl combine steak, potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, and seasonings and toss to combine.

Grill over high heat for about 10 minutes on each side or until steak and potatoes are cooked through

OR

bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through to desired doneness.

4 cups vegetable or canola oil for frying
1 cup water
1//2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot to between 350 and 375 degrees.
Meanwhile, make the dough by heating water, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large saucepan. Once the butter is completely melted and the mixture begins to simmer, remove from heat and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon.
Add in the eggs one at a time, stirring and mashing the dough together until the egg is fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star-shaped tip.
Working in batches of 3 to 5, pipe the dough directly into the hot oil using scissors to trim to the desired length.
Cook until dough puffs and turns golden brown, turning halfway through so all sides evenly cook. This should just take 2 to 4 minutes total.
Carefully remove churro from oil using tongs and place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
