Ingredients 2 large free-range eggs 1 small ripe banana ground nutmeg ground cinnamon 2 thick slices of seeded wholemeal bread 150 gr. raspberries olive oil 20 gr. shelled pistachios 4 heaped tablespoons fat-free natural yoghurt manuka honey Method In a blender, blitz the eggs, peeled banana, and 1 pinch each of nutmeg and cinnamon until smooth, then pour into a wide shallow bowl. Cut your bread 2, cm thick, then cut a slit into the longest side of each slice and wiggle your knife inside to make a pocket. Use your finger to stuff the raspberries inside, pack as many in as you can, but be gentle so you don’t tear the bread. Lay in the eggy mixture and gently squash the bread so it soaks up the eggs. Meanwhile, put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-low heat with 1 teaspoon of oil, then wipe it around and out with kitchen paper. Pour half the excess egg mixture into one side of the pan, then place a piece of soaked bread on top to give it a lovely pancake layer. Repeat with the rest of the mixture and the other slice alongside it. Cook for 3 - 4', or until golden, then confidently flip over to cook for the same amount of time. Meanwhile, smash up the pistachios in a pestle and mortar, toast them first, if you like.

Ingredients 3.5 gr. dried yeast 1 teaspoon runny honey 45 gr. ghee , or unsalted butter 250 gr. strong white bread flour , plus extra for dusting 3 heaped tablespoons low-fat natural yoghurt 1 tablespoon nigella seeds Method Combine the yeast, honey and 125 ml of lukewarm water in a bowl, then set aside for 5', or until starting to bubble. Melt the ghee in a small pan over a low heat. Meanwhile, combine the flour and ½ tablespoon of sea salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour 1 tablespoon of the melted ghee into the well, followed by the yoghurt and yeast mixture, then beat the wet ingredients together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour from the sides until it starts to form a rough dough, then bring it together with your hands, it should be soft and sticky, so add a splash more water, if you think it needs it. Knead the dough on a flour-dusted surface for around 5', or until smooth, then place into a lightly floured bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for 90', or until doubled in size. Once risen, knock back the dough with your fist, then divide into 6 balls. Roll each portion into an oval shape, roughly 1½cm thick. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add a naan bread and cook for 5 - 6', or until cooked through, turning halfway.

Ingredients 40 gr. candied peel 50 gr. glacé cherries 1 orange 100 gr. raisins, sultanas and currants 25 gr. dried cranberries 2 tablespoons brandy or dried rum 3-4 cardamom pods 7 gr. dried active yeast 25 gr. sugar 125 ml whole milk , plus a little extra 275 gr. strong white bread flour , plus extra for dusting ½ teaspoon mixed spice 50 gr. unsalted butter at room temperature 1 medium free-range egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 25 gr. almonds 25 gr. shelled pistachios 225 gr. marzipan olive oil , or vegetable oil, for greasing icing sugar , for dusting Method Finely chop the candied peel, and quarter the glacé cherries and finely grate the orange zest. Place all of the dried fruit into a bowl with the orange zest. Squeeze the orange juice into a pan, add the brandy or rum and heat to just below boiling point, then pour it over the dried fruit. Mix well, then set aside for 1 - 2 hours to allow it to plump up. Dough Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods, then grind to a powder in a pestle and mortar, roughly ¼ of a teaspoon. Spoon the yeast into the bowl of a free-standing mixer, then add the sugar. In a pan, heat the milk until just warm, add to the yeast and whisk to combine. Set aside for 5 - 10', until the yeast has formed a thick, foamy crust on the milk. Add the flour, spices and ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Using a dough hook, combine the butter, egg and vanilla, then mix for 5', until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside. Roughly chop the almonds and pistachios. Pour away about half the liquid from the soaked fruit, then add the fruit and remaining liquid to the dough, along with the nuts, mix again. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly for 1'. Shape the dough into an oval shape, about A4 size. Roll the marzipan into a neat log, about 4cm shorter than the length of the dough, and place in the middle of the oval. Brush one long edge of the dough with milk and fold it over, completely encasing the marzipan, and press the edges together to seal. Carefully lift the dough onto the baking sheet, cover loosely with oiled clingfilm and leave to rise for 45 - 60', until nearly doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Remove the clingfilm, then bake the stollen for 30', or until golden, risen and the underside sounds slightly hollow when tapped. Leave to cool on a wire rack before dredging with icing sugar to serve. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/
