Tomato bread against the tomato glut

August 19th, 2018 | bread & pastries

The other day we were invited for a barbecue with dear friends. They served a super-tasty tomato bread. As a matter of course, I immediately asked for the recipe, of course! The bread was made in a Thermomix food processor. I do not own such a processor. Of course, the recipe also works without the device, and quite sensually with your hands in the dough.

Tomato bread against the tomato glut

Since I had received an incredible number of tomatoes from the greenhouse from other friends, I decided to use twice the amount of dough to process the beautiful, red, ripe fruit. The result was a really BIG bread, super-fluffy, super-juicy, super-delicious.

I had replaced about one third of the flour with common wheat flour Type 00, which made it particularly supple and fine-pored.

This bread tastes best only with butter and some salt! You can serve it as well with my eggplant dip or with wild garlic aioli.

Schupfnudeln means potato noodles. Here they are served with minced meat, apples and a horseradish-dip. October 25th, 2018 | main dishes

Schupfnudeln – Autumn Soulfood

“Schupfnudeln” is a typical German dish. We talk about fingershaped dumplings made of potoatoes. This recipe combines these dumplings with minced meat and apples – very simple. But often the simple dishes are the most popular ones. Especially with children. Same with our stir-fried Schupfnudeln with apples. Our son and daughter have been crazy about this dish since childhood. Apple and horseradish anyhow are a perfect pair, endive salad as a vegetable and a quick horseradish dip provide the freshness kick.
