treacle pecan loaf – a step-by-step tutorial

9 November 2013 by Dominic Franks

… when the good folk at lizi’s granola contacted me and asked me to make a video of myself making my low-knead granola loaf I jumped at the chance however I hadn’t considered not being able to afford the assistant directors fees and so with The Viking on some kind of union strike I struck out on my own and created this quite natty vintage step-by-step montage… the ingredients below are enough for two loaves – one plain and one filled with lizi’s wonderful treacle and pecan granola… both made using some equally delicious viannos extra virgin olive oil… enjoy!
800g strong white flour
2 x 8g sachet’s of fast action yeast
2 large pinches of salt
a general handful of lizi’s granola
plenty of extra virgin olive oil
600ml tap water
eat and of course, enjoy!

    I love step-by-step tutorials and use them sometimes myself with bread recipes and croissants etc and it is so great to see the steps explained in images, so a GREAT idea Dom! Lot's of work for you, but I KNOW your readers will appreciate it! And, what a FAB loaf of bread too! Karen xxx

    Very nicely done! Great tutorial and the loaves look fab. Do you think you'll do more step-by-step posts in the future?

    Love the step by step tutorial and this bread sounds super; love the idea of adding the granola to the loaf to make it really tasty + hearty

    That bread looks utterly scrumptious and well done for such a fabulous step by step guide, these have brought me to tears before now so I know how labour intensive they are – well done Dom:-)

    Oh, you clever baker, you! Great tutorial! I'm going to try shaping loaves the way you do … I always just slap thing down and roll the dough ball around to make the shape I prefer … your folding over/over/end to end must bring some air into the mix! Hmmm!

    Love the retro images. Love the look of the finished product. Good rolling and folding – giving that method a go.

    Lovely! Fanny was a fan of the pic-strip too, although she always seemed to get her poor abused assistants to do them!

    Who needs a video – most detailed step-by-step I've seen and really useful if you haven't a clue what to do. Fabulous.

    A brilliant step-by-step, in some ways even better than a video as you can use it as a reference without pausing the video. And a fab recipe

    This is such a brilliantly thought out post. It must have taken you ages to get all those pics in a row. Well done!

    Dom, is it just me or does this recipe seem like a bit of genius? It looks fabulous! I can't wait to try it x

Tomato, Feta and Strawberry Salad with my Slightly Tomato, Feta and Strawberry Salad with my Slightly Pickled Pink Onions

I wanted to share the pics of this salad the moment I made it cos it’s just so vibrant and summery. 

The real star of the show are the amazing slightly pickled pink onions… but… (and I hate to be a tease) you’ll have to wait till next week for the recipe!

Apricot & Strawberry Frangipani Pudding (recipe be Apricot & Strawberry Frangipani Pudding (recipe below)

This pudding is like a bowlful of summer. It’s light and fruity and sweet and so easy to put together.  I think it’s also quite unexpected to serve a pudding when fresh fruit is in abundance and a simple fruit salad would suffice but that’s what I adore about this.  Plus, this pudding makes very good use of those punnet’s of strawberries that look great in the supermarket but in fact taste all spongy and gloopy when you get them home.

Here’s the #recipe:

🍓 200g butter
🍓 200g golden caster sugar
🍓 3 large free-range eggs
🍓 200g ground almonds
🍓 100g strawberries – quartered
🍓 4 apricots – sliced into wedges
🍓 the finely grated zest and juice of half a lemon
🍓 2 tablespoons @fage_uk Greek Yoghurt
🍓 1 teaspoon @little_pod Vanilla Bean Paste

I greased a 20cm fluted ceramic pie dish and pre-heated the oven to 160C

beat the sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and creamy… a stand mixer will do this in 4 minutes, a hand held electric whisk will do it in 6 minutes and a wooden spoon will do it in 8 minutes.

add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of ground almonds and beat in, then add the rest of the ground almonds and gently beat in, followed by the Greek Yoghurt, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and half the strawberries and beat in – the strawberries will become mush – which is exactly what you want.

lay half the remaining fruit into the bottom of your dish and cover with the frangipane batter, then scatter the remaining fruit on top

bake for 45 mins or until darkly golden brown, then remove from the oven and let it cool to set

Potato Kugel Traybake with Poached Eggs and Mushro Potato Kugel Traybake with Poached Eggs and Mushrooms

Is there anything more ‘Sunday Brunch’ than a crispy rosti with a delicately fragile poached egg on top? This Traybake rosti is a twist on a Jewish potato cake made with potatoes, carrots and onion. It’s amazing and really does make the perfect brunch. 

What are you having for brunch today?

for the kugel:
🍳 5 medium potatoes
🍳 2 large onions
🍳 2 large carrots – roughly grated
🍳 2 eggs – beaten
🍳 2 tablespoons flour
🍳 salt and pepper
🍳 a large handful of fresh rosemary
🍳 2 tablespoons of olive oil

for the poached eggs:
🥚 2 eggs per person
🥚 water
🥚 salt
🥚 a ramekin or similar

pre-heat the oven to 180C and butter your baking tin… i’m using an oblong swiss roll tin but any metal pan will do, a quiche or tarte tin is good.  Earthenware will work too but there’s something about the metal tin that makes it more ‘roasty’

Cut the potatoes and carrots into large chunks and par-boil till just beginning to yeald, drain and place in the fridge for one hour.  I usually do mine the night before.

Once the potatoes and carrots are cold, grate them and add them with the rest if the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together well.

Tip into your cake tin or roasting tray and roast in the oven on 190C till golden and grisp around the edges, roughly 40 mins

To make the poached eggs I prefer to use my large shallow cast-iron casserole dish.  There’s something about the cast-iron that holds the heat and cooks them evenly.  Fill the pan with water and heat it till it’s rapidly boiling, then turn down the heat until it is just steaming. 

Once it’s steadily hot with no bubbles lower the eggs into the hot water and leave them alone at this exact heat.  They should take about 5 minutes to become perfect with soft yolks but feel free to go until you like them.
