I have been enjoying making my own bread and buns and pav for quite a while now. Whenever I make some over the weekend and I have a chance to visit my mom, I bake some bread for her too. She loves the homemade version so whenever she plans to make pav bhaji she asks me to make some pav for her. Sometime back when she wa about to come to our home she just called up and asked if I could make some pav for her for the next day so that she could use it for breakfast. I had very little time... say just about an hour and a half which was not enough to make the buns. I told her that it would take time and it will not be possible. But my mind was not happy to deny her request so quickly browsed my pinterest saves to check out the 1-hour dinner that I have always eyed on
Got this recipe that I had saved on pinterest long back and finally got a chance to try it. It was pretty quick to make and turned out very soft and feathery. My mom liked it so much that day. She was happy that I made it for her even after I said I wont be able to
Try this 1-hour pavs and I am sure you will hook on to this recipe. Enjoy feathery soft pav buns made right at home
I have always loved mushrooms but for the kids it has become a recent favourite. If some veggie is their favourite then no wonder its made multiple times in a short while. They want it in almost everything they eat. Six to eight months back they used to make faces when I would make mushroom but now I have to run away from making it too often ;)
This sandwich is a very simple recipe with not much of a spice touch too. The kids love it for a simple snack or even as breakfast. If its heir after school snack then no worries at a.... mamma can just lay down their plates and not bother about it getting finished in no time. Sandwiches are always a welcome and this one is no less
Dominos Burger Pizza has been our favourite from the first time we ever tried this. All of us fell in love with this, especially the kids. Its the perfect way to enjoy both our favourites in one recipe ... burger and pizza. So we tried this at home some time backa and it was huge success. Every time I make it I have had unexpected guests and I never got a chance to click pictures at all. This time I made sure I will do all the prep work earlier than usual so that I can relax and click pictures too. It turns out so good that you will love it more once you make it at home. My kids always say that homemade burger pizzas are the bestest and cheesiest ones ever
The recipe is very easy if you already make pizza or buns. The basic need is just pizza dough and some stuffing. You can add whatever toppings/stuffings and as much ever as you want. We love paneer and peppers in ours so we use that most of the time. Well you can always make the bun ahead of time and then do the assembling just before serving. Its easy that way as you wont feel you are spending a lot of time in the kitchen :)
I have mixed pictures from 2-3 batches as I could never click any batch completely :)
Every time we make bread and buns or pizza the basic dough that we make is almost the same. I find it too repetitive to describe the entire dough process for every recipe. So I thought I will make one detailed explanatory post on making pizza dough. This can be referred every time a similar dough is prepared. You can always use the ingredients quantity from the original post and then refer the process of making the dough in this post here
If you master making this dough then you will never think of buying bread or buns or pizza from outside. Yes I am sure you will fall in love with your breads once you start baking them. The aroma that fills your kitchen, the eagerness to check on the final product, the waiting, the testing, the tasting...... every bit of making your own bread is fun. You will love the experience and feel good about what you have learnt
Well coming to the recipe ... this is a generalised version of pizza dough. This can altered as per the ingredients quantity specified in the required recipe
The simplest snack that a kid gets to enjoy is this grilled cheese sandwich. Oh... how much they lover them. It is so simple to make that I dont mind making it for them once in a while. Its ok to have a little junk food once in a while and this one is worth it ;)
My kids love this so much that they can keep eating it anytime its served. They were introduced to this sandwich a few years back when we used to go to visit my parents in mangalore. We used to go to this ice-cream store called Pabbas and cant resist myself mentioning how good the ice-cream used to be. For the sides we used to buy these cheese sandwiches for the kids. They would order it every time we visited that place
Just couple of bread slices and a slice of cheese and a pinch of pepper is all that is needed to make these sandwiches and make the kids of the house really really happy
Oats bread is so very soft that you would really love to serve yourself a couple of extra slices than you would normally do. I just wanted to play around with the basic white bread recipe so added a little oats this time and it turned our so very soft that I am hooked onto it. Love the way the bread rises and the softness in the slices
I have an addiction towards baking breads these days and yes it really is so wonderful. It makes me so happy after my rest my dough to come later to see a well-risen beautiful loaf. The crust, the slice, the taste everything seems better. The best part is the aroma that fills my kitchen every time I bake a bread. Once you try you will be awe as to how much you get into the addiction
Hands on time when making a bread loaf is not much except the times when you have take pictures at every step ;) It just takes about a good 15 minutes the first time to make the dough then it is all a matter of waiting with patience ... which I dont have as I peek into it every now and then to see if its rising perfect :)
Thinking healthy and eating healthy is the in thing these days. Everybody is trying to make healthy stuff for their family. And the fb cookery pages that I follow are flooded with healthy bread baking. I have been into bread baking for quite a while now. We make homemade bread, pizza, stuffed buns, pav buns etc. Now moving onto the healthier side I started using 50% wheat and 50% maida for the base for all these breads. A little extra step ahead and we started making whole wheat bread
I have had some failures when making bread initially. I remember days when I had big trouble in getting good risen loaves or loaves with soft slices that would serve a happy and satisfying breakfast. There is certainly a special feeling and satisfaction when we make something special for our family. When I started cooking I never ever thought I would try my hands on baking breads. But now when my family enjoys homemade bread ... its one great feeling to feel
It definitely takes a lot of time to make bread though hands on time is very less. Recipe is very simple except that you got to get the trick to check proper kneading, proofing and baking times to get it right. If you new to making bread then I would suggest you try making some basic white bread before you try your hands on whole wheat bread
Whole wheat bread is a little denser and bit nuttier in taste than regular white bread and that is what is expected too. I use a little bit of maida or all-purpose flour sometimes but not always. There are people who use gluten to make softer loaves of whole-wheat bread but I am not sure if I would use it... knowing its side effects. Everybody is running to get gluten-free and should I turn back to add some to my recipe... I dont think so :) As of now I would I say I am not in for gluten but never know :)
I have picked this recipe from a website called jennycancook but made little tweaks to suit my style
Mayonnaise .... a creamy favourite which is liked by a lot of people. We love it as sides and sauces and dips and spread and dressing too. We love mayo in our home too... and we use our homemade mayonnaise version for our recipes. Sandwiches are always welcome for breakfast and this one is sure loved. Veggie Mayo sandwich is a fresh, very filling and healthy sandwich that will sure be upto your liking. Try this for a quick breakfast and enjoy
Finely chopped raw veggies tossed in creamy mayo filling in soft slices of bread makes a very simple and tasty sandwich. I can say t is so filling that you can eat only one :)
Chilli Cheese Toast is a super yummy snack that you cannot say not to. Me and my kids are a big fan of this toast. Hmm.... the cheesy cheese, the spicy chillies, the crispy bread, the soft tomatoes, crunchy capsicum ...... its such a beautiful combi that everybody will fall in love with it. It just takes a couple of minutes to put things together and just a few more minutes to toast it... and voila your snack is ready
My kids love this an after-school snack. Their faces just brighten up when they come to know whats gonna be served. Try this and am sure you will love it
The food market is going nowhere. We really dont know if we are eating real food or just pesticide filled slow poison. These things have been worrying us for a long while now. On top of this to add up a little more oil to the fire, breads have a trace of dangerous chemicals. Now even kids make sure we dont buy any bread from outside and they talk about how chemicals are dangerous to all of us. Nice to know that they know a lot but the worry is actually about the food that we eat
We love bread at our home and we can dive into it for breakfast, snack or dinner. Eating no bread cannot be the case so best solution is to make at home. I have been making bread for quite a while but not on a regular basis. I am just lazy. But now after all the stupid news falling into our ears about how not good it is to buy it from the store makes me make it more often despite the laziness :) It is simple to make but needs a little prep time though not much of hands-on time. So .....Now we just dont buy bread at all ... the whole family relishes home made fresh bread and relish its goodness to the last bite
Homemade is homemade.... with all that love in it. The house is so filled with the aroma of fresh bread ... hmmm ... nothing can beat that :) Bake your loaf at home with this simple recipe
I have been a fan of this recipe for quite a while now since they introduced it in the menu in a local restaurant nearby. Me and kids used to order this a lot. Thinking about the recipe it made us feel that it is so simple that it is a waste spending so much money in the restaurants for this quick and easy snack
Fresh veggies with a little bit of cheese to perk up the taste is all it it needs to make this super yummy sandwich. It takes very little time to make it. Make it ass an after-school snack and your kids will love it. My kids hate raw vegetables but they are perfectly ok with this sandwich :)
Veggies choice is yours. You can add carrots, cooked baby corn, cabbage etc. Its all upto your taste. The sandwich is very filling to serve as breakfast/even dinner
A simple recipe that is all time welcome for breakfast or snack time. My mom used to make it for us when we were kids and even now :) I make them for y kids and there is never a "no" to it. It is a very very handy recipe for those lazy days when I have no mood to get into the kitchen to make breakfast or an evening snack. I would sit till the last minute that my hubby and kids start asking for food and am like "What shoud I make?" Oh yes there have been many a days like that for me and I dont shy away from that. Everybody has lazy days... rightttttttt??
I love this as the only time it takes is to put the breads together with a little spread. Toasting a few seconds gives a nice, aromatic, sweet and crisp sugar sandwich that you are sure to love..... oh only if you are a ghee lover though :D
Doughnuts are my kids favorite and I should say my favorite too. I love munching on them especially the munchkins. I have loved them from day one. I feel that the doughnuts I find here in my place dont taste as good or fresh as they are meant to be. Initially I had to deal with it to help with my craze but once my kitchen saw these beauties were better and absolutely fresh when made at home, there was no going back.
We love making them at home and yes I get a lot of help from my little buddies as its their favorite snack. They love making them and glazing/decorating/dipping them.
I love everytihng except the deep frying part but I never stop eating it inspite of the guilt. I have always thought of trying the baked version but it has never happened. I fear it will not taste as good these. But I am planning to try that too though I dont know when
Well these are perfect to enjoy as your favorite snack
