This sourdough discard pizza dough made with spelt, is my go-to for pretty much any flatbread application. The sourdough starter discard (or simply un-fed sourdough starter) provides extra flavour, while the active dry yeast makes this dough ready to use in just over an hour. The dough also benefits from a long cold ferment in the refrigerator, so it truly works with your schedule! As for the method, a rough mix followed by a short autolyse turns a shaggy mass into a smooth and supple dough … [Read more...]
Orange & Coconut Buns
There's something about the impending long weekend that accompanies Easter -- and the inescapable invasion of hot cross buns marching like fluffy little soldiers across the shelves of every bakery and grocery store in Sydney -- that makes me want to bake. My history with hot cross buns is well documented and this year, thanks to the universe sending inspiring flavours my way, my head was full of orange & almond brioche and orange & coconut pull apart bread and that challah I made a … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Tahini Toast
Things have been a little crazy around here lately. Well not HERE specifically, here it's been crickets, but real life has been a touch nuts. If you're following along at home over on Instagram or Facebook you would have seen that we're moving currently, but that's the pointy end of 6-months since we moved out of our old apartment in the end of May, stuffed everything into storage, and fled the country (haha). When our two month overseas trip ended we got an Airbnb for a month in Sydney, … [Read more...]
Seriously Amazing Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (they’re Dairy Free too)
Sometimes I have all the words, other times I sit here without a single thing to say. I should probably claim it's simply because these seriously amazing dairy free and gluten free chocolate chip cookies render me speechless -- haha -- however they tend to inspire exclamations of joy rather than bouts of silence. I've had these cookies on rotation for months -- including making them en-masse for 30+ family members at our cousin-fest reunion back in July, and having even those relatives … [Read more...]
Post-Workout Pineapple & Lime Smoothie
You know that girl who makes a green smoothie when she gets home from yoga? I'm totally that girl. (Or I was, back when I wrote this post nearly a year agao, before the shoulder reconstruction, when I was still going to yoga. Upside is that I can nearly raise my arm over my head at this point in time so a return to yoga is looking more promising every day. Also, it's a good thing I looked at my draft posts or this may have been lost forever in the black hole of unpublished content, ahem. Ok, … [Read more...]
Chocolate Hazelnut Granola
One of the things I found during my cupboard and fridge clean out was three open bags of hazelnuts. Really? Really. Not-tella Chocolate Hazelnut Granola was the obvious answer. Of course if you find yourself in a similar position and are not under the moving-house-need-to-use-all-the-things pump there's always a range of chocolate hazelnut spreads and truffles to fit whatever craving you may have, but for now, granola. Not-tella Chocolate Hazelnut Granola The final recipe … [Read more...]
