Cheese Fatayer#BreadBakers

A Fatayer, is part of Lebanese cuisine and also of other Middle Eastern countries. Fatayer can be made with different type of fillings like mince, spinach, etc. Traditionally a Cheese Fatayer is made with the Akkawi cheese but you can also make it with feta cheese or mozarella cheese or a mix of both. Here I have used Kiri Cheese and zaatar spice to make these Fatayer .

Makes 6 
Ingredients

150 Grams Bread Flour
¼ Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Sugar
6 Grams Fresh Yeast
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon Oil
½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
Half An Egg
1½ Tablespoons Water
For The Filling
4 Squares Kiri Cheese
1 Teaspoon Zaatar
1 Teaspoon Oil
For Brushing
Half An Egg
Sesame Seeds - optional 
Method 
In a large bowl add the sugar and yeast, mix it well and let is aside for 10 minutes or till it is frothy. 
Once the yeast has bloomed add in the flour, milk, baking powder, oil, salt and egg together in the bowl and mix it gradually to make a combined dough. Take this dough on to a work surface and knead it to make a nice soft and smooth dough. Keep this in a oiled bowl , cling wrap it, till it doubles in volume.
In the meantime in a small bowl mix in the Zataar and oil well, then add in the Kiri chees and mix it well. Refrigerate it.
When the dough has doubled, deflate it and make 6 equal balls. Roll each dough in to smooth balls, cover and leave it aside for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes flatten each ball into small round circles.
Divide the cheese filling into 6 equal parts. Fill the cheese in the middle. Fold the flattened dough and close in the middle (As shown in the pic).
Place on the greased baking pan. Repeat same process until the remaining circles.
Brush on top of each piece with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds ( I skip this).
Bake them in a preheated oven 180°C for about 18 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. These were done in 18 minutes.
Enjoy them for breakfast or as evening snacks. These taste good when hot and fresh! These were simply super delicious!!

Oats and Apple pancake with, maple syrup
Fluffy gluten free apple pancakes that you can make in your blender!

Makes 6 Pancakes
Ingredients

1 Cup Oats
1 Cup Fresh Yogurt
1 Large Egg
1 Cup Grated Apple
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 Tablespoon Baking powder
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
A Pinch of Salt

Method
In blender pulse the oats till powdered then add rest of the ingredients, except for the grated apple in the blender. Blend until it forms a smooth batter, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Remove this batter into a bowl, stir in the grated apple and mix it well.
Heat a skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, lightly brush the surface with butter.
Take a 1/3 measure cup, fill it with batter and pour this into the pan. Since it's quite thick , spread it lightly into a circle. Let the pancake cook for about 2-3 minutes on medium low flame . Be patient, these pancakes take a little longer to cook.
Once the underside is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides on medium low flame. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
Serve them immediately with maple syrup.

2 Ingredients Bagels#BreadBakers

These homemade bagels are just 2 ingredients which are plain thick yogurt/Greek yogurt and self-rising flour! The recipe doesn’t require any yeast or proofing. You can have fresh chewy and soft bagels in less than an hour.
These bagels have a thicker chewy skin and an airy and chewy interior. They do have a slight tangy taste from the yogurt. It makes them taste almost like sourdough bagels. These bagels don’t expand to be quite as large as traditional flour yeasted bagels but they are a great personal size. You can top with whatever toppings you like. I actually love my bagels plain but made a quick everything bagel seasoning and topped them with it and then baked them.
Served these warm homemade quick bagels with some Nutella and they vanished in a jiffy.

1 Cup Measurement =250Ml
Makes 5 Bagels
Ingredients

1 Cup Thick Yogurt / Greek yogurt
1½ Cup Self-Rising Flour
For The Toppings
Everything Bagel Seasoning
1 Egg yolk - whisked

Method
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, add yogurt and flour. When measuring out the yogurt, make sure that you strain out any extra liquid. Any extra liquid sitting in your yogurt will cause the dough to be too wet.
Using a large spoon or spatula, mix together flour and yogurt until it begins to form a crumbly dough. Use your hands to push the dough together into one ball. The dough will be very sticky. Take this dough into a lightly floured surface and knead till it forms a smooth dough.
Oil your hand a little and cut into 5 equal parts.
Dust the work surface with flour. Roll them into round ball. Flatten it lightly and poke a finger into it and roll it in floured surface to make a nice big hole.
Place them in a lined tray and brush them with egg ( I had an egg white used that to brush but didn't then rich brown color had I to use an egg yolk only), sprinkle bagel seasoning.
Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden. 
Let bagels cool a few minutes before slicing and making a sandwich with the filling of your choice. 
Served them with Nutella. These are perfect quick breakfast or an snack.

Cheesy Mushroom Calzone#BreadBakers

Calzone is an Italian delight which looks absolutely tempting when served. This cheesy vegetarian calzone is so deliciously mouth watering, prepared using simple ingredients like mushrooms, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves. 
This makes a perfect snack to go with your tea or coffee, kitty parties, buffets, birthdays or picnics or pack these calzones in kids tiffin. I served this for my friends at our get-together and they relished them.

Makes 8
Ingredients
For The Filling

250 Grams Mushrooms - chopped
4 Medium Tomatoes - chopped
10 Basil Leaves
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Teaspoon Cumin seeds
175 grams Grated Mozzarella
For The Pizza Dough
200 Grams Bread Flour
10 Grams Sugar
3 Grams Instant Sugar
2 Grams Salt
10 Grams Butter
170Ml +- Milk
Method
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the water. Stir with a spoon, then knead with your hand just until the flour is moistened and the dough begins to form. Do not over-mix! The dough will be very sticky and rough looking, not silky smooth. With damp hands, roll each piece into a rough ball and place into a container with 2 tablespoons of oil. Flatten the top with an oiled hand. Cover tightly. Let rise at room temperature till double.
For The Filling 
Place a large pan on medium flame with oil and butter. Once the oil is hot enough, add cumin seeds chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, salt, black pepper powder in it. Fry the veggies until they are cooked. Then add the chopped capsicum and basil leaves sauté for 2 minutes Now, remove the pan from the flame and transfer the cooked veggies in a bowl.
To Make The Calzone
Pre-heat the oven at 180 degree Celsius. 
Start dividing the pizza dough into 8 small balls.  
Using a rolling pin and flatten them into circles like rotis.
Add the filling prepared in it.
Add mozzarella cheese
Fold the other half of the circle to cover it. Seal the edges well.
Grease the baking sheet now, using a little olive oil. Place the calzones over it and brush the upper layer of calzones with olive oil.  
Slide this in the pre-heated oven and bake it for minimum 20 minutes until the dough is puffed. 
Brush them with butter or oil.
Your calzones are now ready. Serve them hot with your favorite dip and enjoy.
