PAN BREAD

Leave a comment

Welcome here.

I will share a simple recipe with you. One you can use to make home made tasty meal for wither breakfast or as a snack.

Bread is a staple in many parts of the world, the middle eastern parts more precisely. I have had the opportunity to live in Northern Africa where bread is a daily meal and I have had the opportunity to eat different types of bread.

Recently, I have been making pan bread alot and I will share the easy recipe with you.

Ingredients

  • Flour
  • Yeast
  • Water
  • Butter/Oil
  • Salt
  • Sugar (optional)
  • Herbs ( eg nutmeg, leaves optional)
  • Egg (optional)

PROCEDURE

Add flour (according to desired quantity) to a bowl, two pinches of salt, (adding sugar is based on preference, however you aren’t making sweet pie, so it should be at most twice the quantity of salt), and butter. Mix together.

Dry ingredients go first.

(If you are using eggs, add it before the water)

Mix yeast and warm water (this aids the dough to rise faster).

Add to mixture and knead.

If dough is sticky, add more dry flour until paste is smooth.

(N.B I do not use measuring cups, I measure offhand).

You rub butter or oil or dough to give it a soft finish. Cover bowl and allow for at least an hour with maximum of 2 to 3 hours.

I prefer using butter to oil.

Cut dough into smaller chunks, using dry flour roll out and spread until flat.

Butter/oil in pan, on moderate heat, place your flat dough and turn over after every one minute.

You should have a brown finish when cooked.

Time for each bread reduces as pan gets hotter.

Voila! Pan bread completed.

Serve with your favourite sauce.

Will you try this out?

I’ll share this recently made one with and share the rest later.

Ingredients

  • Tiger nuts (dried or fresh)
  • Sweet mangoes
  • Milk (optional)
  • Sugar (optional)

If the tigernuts are fresh, you go straight into making this drink. However, if it is dried you may want to fist soak it for at least 4 to 5 hours before blending.

Place tigernuts in blender, blend until smooth.

Place in a sieve and drain out the juice using enough water.

Use the tiger nut milk as the liquid, put back in blender then add diced mangoes.

Leave a comment

Hello!

It’s been like forever but I promise that I have so many things to share here.

I will try to share gradually.

I will be sharing this recipe with a touch of my own uniqueness…

ABOUT

Moi Moi is baked ground beans. It is of Nigerian origin.

It is made by first cleaning the beans, removing the skin after rigorous cleaning then adding spicy condiments, fish then seasoning. Afterwards, boiling for about hour.

It is eaten with any cereal, bread, cooked gruels.

N.B The opportunity of powder beans flour is also used which is what I am using.

INGREDIENTS

  • Beans powder
  • Salt
  • Seasoning cubes
  • Crayfish
  • Dried fish
  • Tomato paste/fresh tomatoes
  • Curry powder and Thyme
  • Soy sauce
  • Boiled Eggs
  • Vegetable oils
  • Sweet Potatoes

PROCESS

Add ingredients: beans powder, diced sweet potatoes, salt, seasoning cube, soy sauce, crayfish, smoked and dried fish, curry and thyme.

N.B grounded onion and garlic would be great. I used the powder form.

Then the tomato paste/fresh blended tomatoes (this will regulate the amount of water you will put)

Afterwards add water and mix properly until it is has a sticky form. It shouldn’t be watery and shouldn’t be thick for a better cooked outcome.

It should look like this:

Boiled eggs have been added to the mixture.

You may add vegetable oil when mixing or afterwards. The vegetable oild helps the bean cake easy to be removed after cooking.

Then cook for 1 hour.

It should come out looking like this:

Final serving:

I ate mine with slices of bread. Other popular ways it is eaten is by using pap, oats, garri or with rice, spaghetti.

I enjoyed this bowl of deliciousness.

Until another recipe, stay safe and healthy.

3 minimal meals to make when you are broke 💸

Leave a comment

Hello,

Welcome to today’s post.

I will share three meals that have helped me when I did not have ingredients to make a full meal.

I hope it helps you too.

Requirements

You will need basic food items like:

  • Flour (Wheat, all purpose, sorghum). Have a type of flour.
  • Onions
  • Rice
  • Potatoes
  • Seasoning
  • Salt
  • Oil

Aditional

Eggs, fish, beans or a source of animal or plant protein.

1st Option: Spicy Buns

Mix your flour with your spices. If you have yeast or baking powder, good for you.

Mix and fry….

Wheat buns 😌

2nd Option: Plain or Sweet Bread

Mix your flour with yeast or baking powder then mix with water. If you have sugar then good for you.

Mix and allow to rise, if no raising agent was added then bake straight away.

Sun Buns ❤

Note. You can interchange the spicy buns as sweet and the plain or sweet bread as spicy bread. ✌🤗

3rd Option: Onions Sauce

I use this a lot 😀

If you do not have eggs, meat, fish or any plant protein you would still enjoy this sauce.

All you need to do is to dice and fry your onions and add your spices and salt to taste.

Rice would go beautifully with this sauce. Potatoes too.

If you have additional protein, good for you.

Mine had chicken
This had an egg 😌

Other things to keep you going

Black Tea

Lime tea

Mint tea

Ginger Tea

So….

If you do not have a lot of ingredients these few meals would keep you afloat until you restock again..

Making Pan Bread 🍞

Leave a comment

Welcome again…..

Today, I will share a very simple recipe that you can make comfortably at home.

Bread is one of the oldest meals made in homes. It is very popular in the Middle East and Arabic culture. It is considered as the most important meal, hence making a part of every meal.

I love to eat this simple bread, it has a special taste and until you try, you would not understand its unique tatse.

In Sudan, it is called “esh“

There is the flat type the long type. The flat type is more fluffy and heavy. I enjoy eating both.

Recently, tried this pan bread and was lucky to get it at an almost similar texture to the one I eat from the local bakery.

That is what I will share with you today 😁

Ingredients

  • Whole purpose flour
  • Wholemeal wheat flour
  • Nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt
  • Yeast
  • Water

Procedure

Measure desired quantity of whole purpose flour into bowl.

Be very liberal when adding yeast, the flufflier, the better 😅.

Add a pinch of nutmeg and salt (this depends on how you like it)

When adding water, add a quarter of the quantity of flour. If its not enough, add mildly.

Knead thoroughly for about 10 minutes.

Allow to allow for 2 hours or more.

TO THE PAN

Smear pan with oil (very minimal oil use) and set on moderate heat (not too hot please so it can bake properly)

Flatten out desired size of dough and smoothen with the wholemeal flour. It helps improve texture.

Spread the flattened dough in pan and allow to bake for 5 to 10 minutes on each sides. Turning gradually with a flat spoon at intervals.

And voila…. Ready!!

Depending on how much dough you get from the yeast, you may have to repeat this procedure until the dough is finished.

I tried it twice.

The second time, I coated the dough with sugar before putting in the pan. It gave it an extra brownish finish (as if I coated it with eggs)

Gallery

Super Plain 😊

With eggs, oil-less potatoes sauce and coffe milk

Coated with sugar…

N.B I used minimal sugar so it did not affect the plain taste much. The bread was only mildy sweetened. Also, because I used coconut flakes, it was not as plain as the previous bread.

This is a great option if an oven is unavailable plus it does not take a lot of time to bake.

Kindly let me know when you try it.
