Bruschetta

9 August , , , , ,

The recipe that I bring this time, is more than delicious. I believe that many of you, may have already made a bruschetta, but I’m posting my recipe. I can only say that it is delicious, perhaps more tasty than a pizza, the bread with the help of butter, got that perfect crispy crunch and you can’t go wrong with the combination of mozzarella, tomato and olives. And it is super easy and quick to make it. Simply delicious.

Bruschetta

Ingredients:

10 italian bread slices
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 tomatoes, cut into cubes
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup, black olives, chopped
80g mozzarella, grated
50g Parmesan cheese, grated
Basil leaves

Directions:

In a baking dish, place the slices of bread coated with butter. Bake in preheated oven at 400° F until golden brown.
Meanwhile in a frying pan, heat the olive oil and brown the garlic, add the tomatoes, the salt, pepper and olives. Mix everything together and remove from heat. Distribute the tomatoes on each slice of bread, top with mozzarella and parmesan and sprinkle the basil leaves. Return to oven and bake the slices until the cheese has melted.

Cherry Lime Bread

19 February , , , ,

The other day I saw this recipe and I kept it in my memory, but yesterday I was with my mother at the supermarket and she saw some Limes that she wanted to buy,  and automatically I remembered the bread and asked if she wanted me to bake it, and she liked the idea. The recipe is very simple, quick and easy, but for me it’s not really a bread or a cake,  for me it was something in the middle. But it is perfect with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, it is super tasty, and smells great, delicious. In the recipe you can use either cherry preserves or jam, I used the cherry preserves, but next time I’ll cut the cherries into small pieces, to distribute them better into the bread and I believe that with the  cherry jam it should be even more delicious.

Cherry Lime Bread

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp lime zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup cherry preserves/jam (not cherry pie filling)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, melted butter and egg until smooth. Add in lime juice, lime zest, vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add in flour mixture and stir until no streaks of flour remain.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Carefully spread cherry preserves in a layer over the batter. Pour remaining batter into an even layer on top of the preserves.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let bread cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Brazilian Honey Bread

14 December , , , , ,

honey breadOriginally called “pão de mel” (honey bread) in Brazil, where it’s a local favorite, this dark chocolate covered little dense spice honey cake will amaze your taste buds. It’s great with a hot cup of coffee, tea, chai or just by itself. You can also use a dulce de leche filling, and make them even more delicious. Oh my, I can’t get enough…I love honey bread. Just a reminder, you’ll probably need to reduce the recipe or otherwise you’ll have lots and lots of breads, so you should do half or even a third. But one thing I’m sure, you’ll love it.

Ham and Cheese Roll

13 May , , , , , ,

Ham and Cheese Roll

This is another recipe that I discovered in the same magazine of the Hot Dog Sausage Bread, and it is as good as. The recipe said to only make one big roll but I decided to make several rolls of different sizes and shapes, and I also changed the filling, and I alternated between, ham, mozzarella, olive, tomatoes and cream cheese. It was a party, I served them while they were still hot and I think that in less than 20 minutes they were all gone, and I preferred the big one because they had more filling…haha. Delicious!
