whole wheat base pizza
In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
When the dough is doubled, make a thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C. Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan or baking tray. Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.
Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.

Recipe: inspired from the joy of baking site

Chocolate pound cake gets its chocolate flavor from Cocoa powder(25gms). I preferably use Hintz which is rich in chocolate texture. It needs to be mixed with warm water(60ml) until you get smooth and flowy texture.
You need to preheat your oven at 180 degrees and place tray in center.
Swift maida or all purpose flour(180gms) , baking powder and salt. Beat butter(226gms) till soft , beat-in sugar(200gms) till it become fluffy. Add one egg(3 eggs) at time. Beat in vanilla(2tsp) and cooled cocoa mix. Now no more beater required, just mix it by spatula until combined.
Pour the mix in baking pan and place in oven for 50mins. When fully bake check with toothpick. If toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease muffin pan with oil. Place 1 slice of brown bread in each muffin cup, being sure to fully cover bottom and sides and leaving about a 1/4″ overhang on all sides. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. cheese into each cup and sauteed veggies of your choice. Crack 1 egg into each, being careful not to break yolk. Drizzle 1 tsp. cream over each egg, then top with a pinch of thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bake until whites have just set, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 3 minutes. Run a knife around edges of bread baskets and scoop out of pan. Serve immediately.

Recipe: Learned by hit and trial 🙂

All purpose flour- 1.5 cups/200gms
Ghee or butter-half cup or 70 gms
Condensed milk/Full cream-1 cup/180 gms (I used Amul Mithai mate)
Milk -1 cup/200gms
Cherry(optional)-10-12
Sugar-1/2 cup (as condensed milk is quite sweet)
Baking pwd-1 tsp
Baking soda-0.5 tsp
Steps to follow:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together or you can swift too. Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda together.
2. Add chopped cherries too. Please make sure to add cherry with dry ingredient; if we add the raisins in end they have tendency to sink in the bottom of the cake.
3. Mix butter (at room temperature) and powdered sugar, till it becomes pale yellow and smooth.
4. To butter mix add condensed milk, make sure to mix well, no lumps should form there.
5. Start mixing flour mix to butter mix , slowly and keep stirring with spatula. Mix milk too in between so that the paste will become smooth not to runny and not too stiff.
Baking:
Grease the baking pan with some butter or oil. Put some flour and rotate the pan so that whole inner surface of pan is covered with flour. We don’t want our cake to stick while taking out of the pan. always remember to follow this step.
Pour the mix into the pan. and place the pan in bake mode in Preheated over at 180 degree Celsius for 30 mins.
Test the cake by inserting knife or toothpick, if it comes out clean, the cake if fully baked, else but it back in oven for 10 more mins.
When the cake comes at room temperature slide a knife at the edges of the pan so that cake will come out easily out from the pan.
