Don’t get your knickers in a twist when I tell you that chocolate brioche exists: these chocolate pistachio twists are real, and they’re spectacular!

: Some unsolicited hairstyling tutorials popped up on my Youtube feed, and I thought, “Hey! I can do a messy bun!” 🙋🏻‍♀️

These scruffy scrolls are laminated sweet brioche, chocolate brioche and raspberry jam, dolloped with more raspberry jam and almond frangipane. Super messy because I can never resist the temptation to overload on bloody bouffant frangipane 😆.

: Depending on where we've been in the world's time zones, my love's been known to host his own solitary Superbowl party - sometimes in the middle of the night or some other stupid o'clock. These cheese and salami-stuffed soft work any time of day, though - they're great gorged all on your own, or reluctantly shared with friends.⁠⠀

Method for basic soft pretzels, using a bicarb bath, adapted from 👇🏻.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀
Use your favourite strong bread dough recipe. Finely dice of your choosing (I used a odd-shaped end of a ), and shred a nice melty . When ready to shape, portion your dough into balls sufficient for a nice size bread roll 65-75g. Shape the balls into longish sausages, and roll each into an oblong shape suitable for stuffing. Sprinkle a mix of meat and cheese down the centre (or olives/sundried tomatoes/whatever floats your boat), fold over to secure the innards, and then gently roll the whole shebang until long enough to shape into that classic pretzel heart. Allow to rest a little - if you like an airier pretzel - then plop into a bicarb bath for a few minutes on each side (because who has lye in the pantry ⚠️). Transfer to a dry tea or kitchen towel just to drain a little, then to your lined baking sheet. Sprinkle flamboyantly with flaked salt, sesame seeds, or seasoning, and bake until deeply golden. Irresistible! PS: These would be delicious without the swim - but the bicarb treatment gives you that irreplaceable exterior crunch that takes these to next level . 👌🏻⁠⠀

Me and Mr Dough, we got an early morning thing going on... 😅❤️

on toast: when you feel like something semi-virtuous, but CBF doing too much about it. This is a fairly low-effort snack, that still packs a nutritious (well - there's kale in it!) and flavoursome punch: kale and pea "pesto" with basil-marinated young pecorino, all slouching haphazardly on grilled local sourdough. - and happy to you! 🥖🍋🧀💚⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The bread and lemon were grilled on the barbecue, and the cheese fingers left to sit in a puddle of pounded basil oil. Boiled water poured over the kale and frozen peas. The blanched greens blitzed with plenty of anchovies, a garlic clove, a pinch of red chilli flakes, lemon juice, and plenty of olive oil. A nearly-raw flavour 💣 to accompany all the things.⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀

💛: want to have a go at these Bacon and Maple Bread and Butter Pudding Muffins for your week-end brunch? They really couldn't be easier, and are a great way to jazz up leftover bread or - roundabout this time of year - . Recipe below 👇🏻- do your best not to hog these all on your own. 😉🥖🥓🍁⁠⠀

Makes 12 large pudding muffins

Ingredients:
500g Pandoro/plain panettone, cut into large cubes
250g-500g bacon, cut into lardons
250ml full cream/pure cream
6 eggs
1l whole/full cream milk
80g light brown sugar
Coarse coffee sugar crystals ( makes one in Aus)
Maple syrup

Method:
Cube your panettone. If not stale, leave open for a few hours/overnight to dry out a little.

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 170C, and line your jumbo/Texas muffin tins with suitable liners. Fry or grill your bacon to the point of doneness you prefer. Set aside to cool a little.

In a large bowl, lightly whisk the dairy, light brown sugar and eggs, just until well combined. Drop in panettone and cooked bacon, and allow the dairy mix to saturate the panettone (don’t leave too long, as the panettone will soften up and break apart much faster bread - and you want it to retain its large chunky shape for these puds).

Ladle the mix into the muffin liners, top with a sprinkling of coarse sugar and bake for about 30 mins until the custard is puffed, set and golden (the pudding will dome up in the oven, but will settle back down once cooled).

Drizzle with maple syrup to serve - best at room temperature IMHO. 😊
