Van Bake off Burger buns

Van Bake off Burger buns

This recipe is a winning star baker recipe for Van Bake Off 2020.
I organized myself in order to have freshly baked buns for lunch.

I started at 2.30 pm the day before in order to use less yeast and make these buns easier to digest. You can double the amount of yeast and start early in the morning. It is up to you. It all depends on whether or not you have access to a fridge for an overnight rest.

These little biscuit bites give the best of both worlds, a biscuit with a delicious florentine. We made these in our Omnia oven during Van Bake Off 2020.

Omnia cheddar & spring onion loaf

Omnia cheddar & spring onion loaf

One of my all time favourite comfort foods is a cheese and onion crisp sandwich using white bread. This loaf brings back those memories of this after school snack with the gentle flavours of the cheese and onion.

This is a fun and yummy meal on the go. The avocado halves are easy to make and don’t require much to make. We bring them along in a container on picnics or on long drives.

This recipe is really all about the timing! It took some experimentation but we finally got it down to perfection.

We use one pot and a 18″ cast iron skillet to whip up this delicious van favorite.

Spiced Red Lentil Mini Burgers

Spiced Red Lentil Mini Burgers

A burger-less burger. That’s my idea of heaven. I’m a vegetarian and I don’t eat bread so I am just used to avoiding burgers altogether. These little micro burgers are so useful for bite sized sustenance you can grab and eat when you are busy. They can be made ahead of time and store well in the fridge. Likewise you can freeze the ‘dough’ to make them quickly at will, handy for spontaneous camping trips or BBQs. The addition of quinoa makes them hearty and filling, and their size makes them versatile for snack boards or picnics or sliders.

They make a great lunch spread with Handmade Hummus, Summer Tomato Salad and Golden Flatbreads.
