At My House + a recipe

Today I attempted to make some more yogurt, my third try but for some reason it's just not working for me so no pictures to show. Maybe fourth time lucky tomorrow, cross fingers;)


I made a card and wrapped my Spring Washer Swap gift (inspired wrapping from here) so it's ready to go into the mail tomorrow,

and after reading this ladies blog and seeing a Butter Chicken slow cooker recipe served with naan bread I just knew I had to give it a try. So this is my first go at naan bread and was a favourite with everyone and it worked!

To see what has been happening at other people's homes, stop by Lou's and check them out.



P.S. Here's the recipe for the Spelt Loaf I promised yesterday.

Spelt Loaf
3/4 cup warm milk
1 tablespoon caster sugar
7g sachet dried yeast
2 cups white spelt flour
2 cups wholemeal plain flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons honey
Extra flour for kneading
Melted butter, for greasing
Extra egg, lightly beaten

1. Put milk, sugar and yeast in a jug and whisk with a fork to combine. Stand jug in a warm place for 10 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Sift flours and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre; add milk, oil, egg, honey and yeast mixture. Stir until well combined and a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth. Put dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place for 1 hour or until well risen.
2. Preheat oven to 200 degree celsius. Brush an oven tray with butter. Punch down dough, knead for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Form into a 15 x 7 cm high round and put on prepared tray. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for 45 minutes or until well risen. Remove wrap, brush loaf top with egg and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until shiny brown and loaf wound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy:)

  5. Who needs cook books with recipes like this !
    Thanks for posting the spelt loaf Catherine - I make bread but never a spelt - looks delicious.

    Naan bread is dangerous though - especially garlic - can't leave it alone :)

    Your wrapping is lovely - might have to steal that idea too (and the button card!
