Slovenian Farmers bread made in wooden Bread bakers oven

BREAD MAKING IN A WOODEN OVEN

This week is bread traditionally made in Slovenia.

I am amazed to see how these woman bake their breads. You haven't tasted any better bread than theirs.

When they bake their breads in their ovens they make up to 9 breads at a time because as it takes allot of work to prepare the oven. They told me they use up to 10kg of flour to make their farmers breads.

That's allot of bread.

I haven't got a proper recipe for their breads as they prepare these breads out of their heads as they were taught from childhood how to make bread.

They use for white bread 1kg white bread flour or cake flour. For brown they would use 350gr light brown flour T850, 350gr brown flour T1100, 350gr spelt flour.

It is really up to your preference. I find that the modern world has made bread making so complicated when in actually fact it is very easy as it contains only flour, salt, yeast, oil if preferred and your water.

The main secret I found is the usage of the amount of water used in the bread. Your dough has to be very sticky & then you don't knead like I have been taught. You just gently shape it into a ball in your bowl as you can see in this video.

I have been a lover of bread forever & I am so glad that these ladies were so kind enough to show me how they make their breads. When I came to Slovenia I was astounded how tasty, chewy and springy their breads were. I hope that you will really give it a try with their method of making bread.

I was very weary about the one bread they were making. The one lady made Buckwheat bread with walnuts. I was checking this out while she was making this & I was like yeah right this is not for me. I have eaten Buckwheat bread before (not in Slovenia) and it was gross. After the breads were ready to be eaten I thought "come on, give it a try". Well, I was blown away how nice this bread really is.
Now get this, the secret!!!! You have to prepare the buckwheat flour with boiling water into a paste first!!!! You can not believe what a difference it makes.
The lady told me that her recipe was 300gr Buckwheat flour, 600gr cake flour, 25gr yeast, 1 tbsp salt, 30ml oil & then the water which you would have to play around with.

Please have a look at the video because there is allot of tips in how the bread is made.

I know you will enjoy it & you can go to my website for more recipes www.canibake4you.weebly.com

Good luck & never give up in trying to perfect your bread.

BREAD PUDDING FROM BELGIUM

This bread pudding is one of my mothers recipes. My mom told me that in the war the people use to gather old bread to make this bread pudding so that they had something edible to eat. Obviously it wasn't made so fancy like we do it today but you get my drift. She use to always just make the bread pudding without any measurement and it always came out 2 different ways. The one way was like a cake like texture whereas the other way was my favourite which I am sharing with you now. It took me a couple of years to figure out why the recipe was always different. When I use to ask my mom how she got it so dense she didn't know. She use to say she just makes the bread pudding out of her head & with the ingredients she had. One day I was on holiday in Brugge and there in one of the bakeries was my bread pudding I liked. You can only find the cake like bread pudding and not this dense one. I asked my sister in law what made this bread pudding so diffe...

KOEKSISTERS

This week is one of South Africa's favourite treats.Koeksisters are almost like a baklava but with a doughnut texture made with yummy sugar syrup & not honey. These lovely treats are found everywhere in South Africa. You can get different types of koeksisters but I prefer the old fashion one. People have started putting out recipes where the koeksisters are now with different syrup flavours like rooibos thee, cinnamon etc. Also people have become lazy and they don't plait their koeksister anymore but just give it a twist or they make little balls with them. I prefer the old fashioned plaited koeksister as it just gives it a beautiful finish. My recipe was given to me by my mother in law. The original recipe is really a long process where you have to make your syrup the night before & refrigerate it for the next day. The syrup must be ice cold before you can use it. My syrup can b...

SLOVENIAN SKUTA STRUDEL This week I want to show you how to make a delicious Slovenian version of a Strudel . This recipe was shown to me by my friend Anica. You can make 2 different types of fillings on your dough. Also it doesn't just need to be sweet fillings but you can have sweet & savoury on one dough of strudel. It's all up to you! Improvise! Imagine you can make your meal & dessert all at once. Brilliant!! Hope you enjoy it. PS. I like the skuta filling one & I froze mine. It was still flakky once defrosted. TIP: Be careful of fillings with moisture (apples, pears, etc.) as it is only good to eat on the same day.
