From my artisan bread recipe, “You make the dough by mixing all the ingredients (no kneading) and let it sit for 2 hours. You can then use the dough right away or store in the fridge and use it within two weeks. The idea is that you pinch off a portion...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/06/dinner-rolls-olive-oil-dough-no-knead-recipe-artisan-bread-in-5.html/feed 2 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/05/sourdough-banana-muffins.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/05/sourdough-banana-muffins.html#comments Mon, 09 May 2016 03:08:03 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=22238 I am always looking out for sourdough recipes because the family is bored of the few usual things I make with sourdough starter. This is an easy peasy banana bread using sourdough starter. The bread uses no oil or butter, but was still very moist. The chocolate chips and strawberry add a nice touch, but can be...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/05/sourdough-banana-muffins.html/feed 1 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/03/best-cocoa-brownies.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/03/best-cocoa-brownies.html#comments Fri, 25 Mar 2016 22:06:12 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=22134 This is the brownie recipe that all of you must try. Yes, it is simple to make and tastes out of this world. I have made it three times since bookmarking the recipe. It is just too good and very hard to resist. The center is fudgy and will melt in the mouth and the...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/03/best-cocoa-brownies.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/artisan-bread-in-5-minutes-a-day-no-knead.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/artisan-bread-in-5-minutes-a-day-no-knead.html#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2016 00:37:12 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=21935 My latest interest  has been no-knead bread and I have been bitten by the “Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day” master recipes.

These crackers use caraway seeds and I was finally able to find them online for a good price. The seeds have a unique flavor and the family loves the seeds in bread.

She then talked about the soft and tasty flour tortillas that her friend makes and also shared the recipe with me. The recipe sat in my book for a couple of months and finally I made it.

Sometimes we do end up with a ton of kefir. While looking around for recipes to use up the extra kefir, my friend passed over this recipe to me.

It has a few steps to it, but is still pretty simple. Strawberries are in season now and is a perfect time to make these beauties. The crunch from the biscuits, the richness from the cream and the sweetness of the strawberries all work perfectly...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/04/strawberry-shortcake.html/feed 1
