Trying something very new

Hello!Today I decided to try a new recipe from Giallo Zafferano... As you see, I'll use Mascarpone cheese. But it doesn't mean it's tiramisu ... (by the way, I can cook tiramisu dessert and I like it very much) 

Let's see!Today I'll need milk chocolate, ladyfingers and coffee... 

Always try something new!

Bake a pizza with me!

Hello!Today I decided to bake something tasty.It was pizza...No doubt, everyone loves pizza!!!The filling for my pizza was sausages with tomato pasta Dolmio (which I recommend to you if you like tasty pizza fillings)

For one pizza you need:

500 g flour

300 ml water

25 g yeast

salt 

sugar

2 tbsp olive oil

+

300 g sausages (the ones I used are Munich sausages)

500 ml Dolmio classic tomato pasta

300 g cheese ( such as Parmigiano)

2 tbsp olive oil

Add the salt, sugar, oil and the yeast into the flour. Then add water and mix everything with your hands.

Leave the pastry for about 1 hour in a warm place and put a tea-towel onto it.

Fry the sausages with the olive oil, after 2-3 minutes add Dolmio pasta. You don't need pepper or salt, because Dolmio contains them. Grate the cheese

When the pastry is ready, form it as a pizza.Put, firstly, a 2/3 of the grated cheese, then the sausage filling and then the left part of the cheese.Sprinkle the pizza with the olive oil.

Put your pizza into the oven for about 30 minutes (200 degrees C)

Good appetite!!!

Baked potato and cheese

Hello my dear readers!Today I cooked a really delicious kind of dish.Well, firstly, I wanted just to fry potatos, but then I decided to prepare something more interesting.

What I used?

It's not a kind of recipe where you need to follow strict proportions...Use your imagination and your own taste, but still, there are some things I'd like to tell you:

Take 5-6 potatos

100 g medium soft cheese (any one you like)

100 g parmigiano regiano

50 g butter

500 ml milk

3 tbsp flour

aromatical herbs

Firstly, boil the potatoes. Then prepare beshamel sauce in the following way: add butter, then parmigiano regiano,flour and milk. Mix it until the sauce boils.

Then cut the potatos and put them on the bottom of your baking dish, then put the cheese (medium soft) cut into cubes onto the potatos.

Put the beshamel sauce onto the cheese and send the dish into the oven (250 degrees) for approximately 15 minutes. 

If you'd like to, you may use some aromatical herbs. The ones I used are called "Italian herbs".

Good appetite!

Orange salmon

Hello!New food post!:)

Today mom decided to prepare the salmon.I remembered one recipe I had seen a long time ago on Giallo Zafferano.The only thing I needed was...oranges!It was not a problem, I ran to bought some oranges at once.So, by the time my family sat to eat my salmon had already been ready!

I think salmon with oranges is really healthy dish, because it contains many vitamins and is so tasty and unusual:)

I Also made a tomato&ruccola salad with a sauce with mustard mixed with fig balsamic cream.Sounds great, doesn't it??:)

I really love cooking for my family, sure you enjoy it too!Always try and try new recipes and never stop;)

Grape mood

Hello!Today I tried a new recipe;)It is grape focaccia,a kind of Italian pastry.We enjoyed it so much and I decided to share with you!Sure you would like to see the recipe and try to bake it!Here we go!!!

For filling:

Sugar 100 g

Black grapes 800 g

Olive oil extra virgin 8 tbsp

For the bread dough:

Flour 500 g

Water 300 ml

Yeast 12 g (fresh)

Malt (or honey, sugar) 1 tsp

To prepare the grape focaccia, begin by making the bread dough: dissolve the yeast (1) and the malt (2) in a little lukewarm water (taken from the total amount needed), mix and let it rest for a few minutes. In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the sifted flour with the yeast and malt mixture (3)

and start beating, adding the remaining water in a thin stream (4). When it forms a smooth and soft dough, transfer to a floured pastry board and knead quickly with your hands (5). Form into a ball, place in a bowl, covered with cling film (or with a clean, damp cloth) and let it rise for a couple of hours in the turned off oven, with the light turned on: it should double in volume (6).

When the bread dough has risen, return to the mixer and beat for another 5 minutes, adding ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar and 4 tablespoons of oil (7) (if you prefer, you can knead by hand). Now wash the grapes under cold running water (8) and remove from the stems (9).

Divide the bread dough into 2 parts and roll them out with a rolling pin to a thickness of ½ inch (1 cm) (10). Brush a 12x15-inch (30x40 cm) baking pan with oil (11-12);

place the first sheet of dough on the bottom of the pan, top with half of the grapes (13), sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar (14) and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (15).

Now place the second sheet of dough on top (16), add the remaining grapes, then sprinkle with sugar (17) and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake your grape focaccia in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50-60 minutes (18); once cooked, let it cool and serve sliced.

I took the recipe from Giallo Zafferano app, I find it really exciting and very useful!

More sweet inspiration...
