Simply Eggcellent #9 – breads, pastries and eggy puddings

1 November 2015 by Dominic Franks

chocolate custard and lincolnshire plumb bread pudding

… as tradition dictates with the Simply Eggcellent link-up, every other month has a loose theme to it and this month i’m going with breads, sweet pastries and eggy puddings.  Eggs add the most glorious colour and wonderful richness to breads, pastry and pastries as well as making puddings thick and creamy. Think of breads such as cholla or brioche, pastries like cinnamon buns and puddings such as bread and butter pudding, creme brûlée or trifle.  I’d love to see your recipes for all of these and more, so if you’re making any enriched breads, pastries or puddings then do share them with the Simply Eggcellent link-up…

    Great theme and perfect for this time of the year. Will get my thinking cap on!

    I'll assume cholla is the same as challah, a traditional egg bread served during Jewish holy days (and of course year round). My Jewish friends pronounce it as hal-lah, with a silent “c”. No matter how it's spelled or pronounced, it makes great bread pudding, french toast, and Monte Cristo sandwiches!

    Yes Loufa, cholla is the same as challah… it's simply a matter of regional spelling and grammar. This is the way my family spelt it for hundreds of years. It makes a wonderful bread and butter pudding and a brilliant garlic bread too!

Jasmine Tea Loaf This cake reminds me of grandma Jasmine Tea Loaf

This cake reminds me of grandma Sylvia who used to always make a tea loaf for tea-time on a Sunday.  She would serve each slice slathered in butter and sometimes even with a slice of cheese on top.  It’s stunning.  It’s packed with fruit and quite dense as it has no butter or fat in the cake, but it’s so tasty and the perfect accompaniment to a cuppa, so put the kettle on.

The recipe is on my website now - click on the link in my Instagram bio, then click on the pic of the recipe you want.

Blood Orange, Lemon & Marmalade Cake This is quit Blood Orange, Lemon & Marmalade Cake

This is quite literally sunshine on a plate. Such a simple loaf cake but it delivers the joys of bursts of citrus flavours in every bite!

Pea, asparagus and greek yoghurt pasta bake This Pea, asparagus and greek yoghurt pasta bake

This is such a simple concept but it tastes so good.  I'm also so glad it turned out OK because I was kind of making it up as I went along. I'm usually quite confident about savoury pasta dishes where I just 'throw things into a pan' but I wasn't quite sure if my concept of blending the sauce ingredients would work.

I'd picked up some wonderful asparagus from the local greengrocer. I simply adore asparagus and usually wait until the British grown stuff comes into season but something tempted me to buy it and I'm so glad I did.  I used my fave Greek Yoghurt by @fage_uk The taste reminds me of warm Spring days and balmy Summer evenings which is exactly the vibe we all need right now.

Eggs Florentine... a healthy green stew of spinach Eggs Florentine... a healthy green stew of spinach and peas with veggies sausages. 

I do love soft baked eggs nestled into something warm and healthy and this one pot meal is perfect.

banana, espresso, choc-chip traybake with a purely banana, espresso, choc-chip traybake with a purely filthy caramel chocolate and condensed milk icing.

Sometimes only cake will do and I was totally craving something sickly and sweet.  This traybake hits the spot perfectly and although ridiculously ugly to look at (I mean, take your pick between the cake and me) the icing was utterly divine!

NON-SOURDOUGH LOW-KNEAD ‘SOURDOUGH’ BREAD Now NON-SOURDOUGH LOW-KNEAD ‘SOURDOUGH’ BREAD

Now there’s a recipe title for you!  Non-sourdough, low-knead ‘sourdough’ bread.  What? Well let’s break it down shall we? This loaf is basically a cheats sourdough.  It has all the looks and attitude of a sourdough loaf but it’s not made with a sourdough starter. It also doesn’t take quite as long as a regular sourdough to make.

OK, so it doesn’t give you that classic sourdough, slightly sour taste or that glorious wide-crumbed texture but it has a stunning flavour, is gloriously light and fluffy and has that perfect crispy crust. I’ve made it a number of times and have had requests for the full recipe and method.

If you want the recipe simply click on the link in my bio and then click on the picture of the bread that pops up.

If you want to watch a cook-along method, then check out my highlights on my instagram page.
