A Big Fat Focaccia Sandwich
This focaccia recipe is my favourite and it is so easy to make, there’s hardly any hands on time. No kneading required either. It’s a 90% hydration dough which means it’s light and soft. Apart from the delicious focaccia, the other star of the show is the pistachio pesto. It’s punchy, garlicy and so tasty. Any leftover is perfect for pesto pasta too.
Espresso, Brown Butter & Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I love banana bread as it is; but I love it even more when its warm from the oven, packed full of coffee and gooey chocolate chips. I’ve also chucked in some brown butter to add depth of flavour. The result is a beautifully golden loaf that’s humble in its rustic appearance with a light, moist slice. The recipe comes together quickly and easily without the need for a stand mixer. So if you have any spotty ripe bananas that need using; this recipes for you.
Ireland - Soda Bread
For those of you who have never encountered Soda Bread, it is a hearty dense 'quick bread' made without yeast. Instead, it uses Bicarbonate of Soda as a raising agent. It has quite a dense texture but is great if you want something fresh and quick.
