High-Protein Naan

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Perfect for curries, dips, salads, bean bowls, or even just a tasty snack. The silken tofu adds extra protein while keeping the naan soft and tender. Ingredients For the Naan 135 g spelt flour (scant 1 cup) 135 g plain flour (1 cup) 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (5 ml) ½ tsp sea salt (2.5 ml) 100 g silken tofu 3 tbsp soy yoghurt (45 ml) 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml) 1 tbsp water (15 ml) For the Garlic Butter 3 tbsp melted vegan butter or olive oil (45 ml) 2 garlic cloves, grated ½ tsp sea salt (2.5 ml) small bunch of fresh parsley leaves, very finely chopped Instructions In a mixing bowl, sift the flours and bicarbonate of soda, then add the salt. Gently mix to combine. In a small blender, blend the silken tofu and soy yoghurt together until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the tofu mixture, along with the olive oil and water. Knead with your hand until a ball forms. If it’s too dry, add a splash more water. If it’s too wet, add a touch more flour. You want it to be dry and spring back a little when you touch it. Cover the dough with a damp tea towel and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. Once rested, dust the work surface with a little flour, then divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each one into a ball. Roll out each ball with a rolling pin (or if you don’t have one, a clean bottle of wine or vinegar will do) into naan shapes, about 5-7mm thick. Heat a dry frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on each side until puffed and golden brown spots appear. While still hot, mix together the garlic butter ingredients. Brush the cooked naan generously with the garlic butter mixture. Serve immediately while warm. Notes Protein boost: The silken tofu not only adds protein but also creates a softer, more tender texture than traditional naan. ...

Hot Dog Buns (Korvbröd)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Just like with hamburger buns, the functional aspect is important when it comes to hot dog buns. The sausage and the bread should bite off in the same bite, so the buns should neither be too chewy nor too large. This dough produces light-colored hot dog buns, but if you want a bit of whole grain in yours, you can use the hamburger bun dough instead and shape it into hot dog buns. ...

Martin's Hamburger Buns (Whole Grain)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. There are of course different opinions on what a good hamburger bun should be like. I think they must be really soft so you can easily take a bite. These buns have a bit of whole grain in the dough. If you want yours lighter, you can instead use the hot dog bun dough and shape it into hamburger buns. ...

Martin's No-Knead Sourdough Bread

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Because there are very few steps in this recipe, there isn’t much that can go wrong. The most important thing is that the sourdough starter is really bubbly and lively when you mix the dough. The warmer the dough is, the faster it ferments, so if it’s very warm indoors, shorten the rising times. You can easily replace some of the wheat flour with another type of flour - up to a third of the flour amount can be substituted without significantly affecting the baking. ...

Martin's Sourdough Pizza Dough (Pizzadeg på Surdeg)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. If you want to eat your sourdough pizza on Friday evening, you feed your sourdough starter on Thursday evening. Friday morning you mix the actual dough and form balls that ferment in the refrigerator during the day. You can use wheat sourdough or rye sourdough. The latter gives a slightly heartier pizza. Version 1: Wheat Sourdough Wheat Sourdough Starter (Levain) 25 g wheat sourdough starter (2 tbsp) 150 g water (1.5 dl) 150 g bread flour (2.5 dl) Dough all of the prepared wheat sourdough starter (save 25g for next bake) 250 g water (2.5 dl) 25 g olive oil (2 tbsp) 12 g salt (2 tsp) 6 g sugar (1.5 tsp) 450 g bread flour (7.5 dl) Version 2: Rye Sourdough Rye Sourdough Starter (Levain) 25 g rye sourdough starter (2 tbsp) 200 g water (2 dl) 120 g rye flour (2.25 dl) Dough all of the prepared rye sourdough starter (save 25g for next bake) 200 g water (2 dl) 25 g olive oil (2 tbsp) 12 g salt (2 tsp) 6 g sugar (1.5 tsp) 480 g bread flour (8 dl) Instructions Day 1 Evening (6-10 hours before mixing dough) Mix sourdough starter with water and flour in a bowl. Cover loosely with a lid and let stand at room temperature until the sourdough has bubbled up, 6-10 hours. Day 2 Morning (Mix dough) Save a dollop (25g / 2 tbsp) of the levain in a jar in the refrigerator for your next bake. Mix the remaining levain with the other dough ingredients in a bowl - by hand or with a dough mixer until the dough just comes together. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 45-60 minutes.

Drizzle a few drops of oil on each dough ball and cover with plastic wrap (the oil prevents the plastic from sticking). Let ferment for about 8 hours in the refrigerator. If you want to bake the pizzas earlier, you can leave the dough at room temperature for a couple of hours beforehand. Baking When ready to bake, preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually 250-275°C / 480-525°F) with a baking steel or stone if you have one, for at least 30 minutes. Stretch each dough ball into a pizza base, add your toppings, and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Notes Timeline: Feed starter Thursday evening → Mix dough Friday morning → Cold ferment all day → Bake Friday evening. ...

Naan Bread

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Of course, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to replicate at home the super-hot oven used when baking naan bread the traditional way. But you can get pretty close! This recipe uses both a frying pan and the oven - first pan-frying to get the right surface, then finishing in the oven. If you want, you can skip the frying pan step, and the bread will still turn out well. ...

Overnight Baguettes (Nattjästa Baguetter)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. You can think of this dough as a base dough that can be varied however you like. For example, you can replace 100-200 grams of the wheat flour with some type of whole grain flour. You can also roll the baguettes in seeds before putting them in the oven, for example sesame, sunflower, or poppy seeds. And by the way, don’t hang up on them having to be overnight - it works just as well to make the dough in the morning, let it ferment during the day, and bake in the afternoon. ...

Pita Bread (Pitabröd)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. These breads are fairly small, smaller than the ones you get at the kebab shop on the corner, but that’s quite practical. If you want larger breads, you can of course make them bigger. The point of pita bread is that you should be able to stuff food into it. That’s why it’s important that the breads split and puff up into balls in the oven. And for them to do that, they must be as even as possible when you shape and roll them. Normally, I think bread should be baked thoroughly and get lots of color, but that doesn’t apply to pita bread. If you bake them too much, they just become dry and break apart. ...

Pizza Dough with Yeast (Pizzadeg med Jäst)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. You can choose whether you want the dough ready as quickly as possible or if you want to prepare it in the morning and let it ferment until evening. It’s only the amount of yeast that differs. Ingredients For Quick Fermentation (1 hour) 8 g fresh yeast (1½ tsp) or 2.5 g instant yeast 400 g cold water (4 dl) 25 g olive oil (2 tbsp) 12 g salt (2 tsp) 6 g sugar (1½ tsp) 600 g bread flour (10 dl) For Slow Fermentation (11 hours) 4 g fresh yeast (¾ tsp) or 1.3 g instant yeast 400 g cold water (4 dl) 25 g olive oil (2 tbsp) 12 g salt (2 tsp) 6 g sugar (1½ tsp) 600 g bread flour (10 dl) Instructions Quick Method (1 hour total) Mix all ingredients (with 8g yeast) in a bowl, by hand until the dough has just come together or for a couple of minutes with a dough mixer. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 45-60 minutes. Slow Method (11 hours total) Mix all ingredients (with 4g yeast) in a bowl, by hand until the dough has just come together or for a couple of minutes with a dough mixer. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 8-10 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Shaping (Both Methods) Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces (about 250g per pizza). Shape the dough pieces into smooth balls and place them on a tray or platter. Drizzle a few drops of oil on each dough ball and cover with plastic wrap (the oil prevents the plastic from sticking). Let proof at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to 10 hours. Baking When ready to bake, preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually 250-275°C / 480-525°F) with a baking steel or stone if you have one, for at least 30 minutes. Stretch each dough ball into a pizza base, add your toppings, and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Notes Flexible timing: The beauty of this recipe is flexibility.

Sourdough Bread #1 (Surdegsbröd #1)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. This is a good bread to start with if you’ve never baked sourdough bread before. It’s a simple dough that ferments well and the result is a bread that keeps for a long time and has a distinct sourdough character. There’s a bit of caraway in the dough, but you can of course skip it or exchange it for another spice if you want. Fennel and anise work well, for example. ...

Sourdough Pizza Dough

We stumbled across a really nice and cozy pizza place in Gwangju during a trip to Korea and they had the most amazing pizza. I leafed through a pizza book in the restaurant and took a pic of this recipe. ⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Sourdough pizza dough is extremely versatile and a great all-rounder, but it is a labor of love. It takes a little longer to ferment and proof. The addition of the sourdough starter gives this dough amazing flavor and a signature airy texture. It’s a little more fragile than other pizza doughs so it needs to be handled with extra care. ...

Wheat Tortillas (Vetetortilla)

These breads are incredibly easy to make and so much better than the ready-made ones you buy. Wheat flour tortillas are preferred because they’re significantly easier to bake than corn tortillas. (If you still want to try baking with corn flour, you must get maseca flour, a corn flour specifically for tortillas.) The trick is to try to cook one tortilla while rolling the next - once you find the rhythm, it goes very quickly. ...

Bagels (New York-style)

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. The bagel originally comes from Poland. With this recipe, you can prepare your bagels, store them in the fridge, and eat them freshly baked for evening snack or breakfast. Ingredients 300 g cold water (3 dl) 10 g fresh yeast 1 tbsp granulated sugar 1 egg 1½ tsp salt 550 g special wheat flour (vetemjöl special) (9 dl) flavorless oil for the parchment paper (e.g., rapeseed oil) seeds to sprinkle on top (optional) Instructions Weigh up the water in a bowl and stir the yeast into it. Weigh all other ingredients, pour straight from the package and zero the scale between each ingredient to save on dishes. Knead the dough in a stand mixer for 5 minutes on the lowest speed. If you knead by hand, double the time. Be careful not to add more flour to the dough than the recipe indicates. Cover the bowl with plastic and let the dough rest for 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 parts weighing 100–110 g each. Roll the dough pieces into round balls, press a finger into the middle and work out the dough into a ring. Alternatively: roll out the dough piece so it becomes long enough to reach around your hand at the knuckles, and press the ends together so a ring forms. Place the seam against the surface and roll back and forth so the ends are pressed together further. Place a piece of parchment paper on a tray or baking sheet, and oil it. Place the rings on the paper. Place a towel on top and cover with plastic wrap or a large plastic bag. Place the tray in the refrigerator and let stand for 8–10 hours. Set the oven to 230–250°C, convection. Boil 1½–2 liters of water. Drop one bagel at a time into the water, and boil it about 30 seconds on each side. Put it back on the tray. Do the same with all of them. Sprinkle seeds on top if you want. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12 minutes. Source: Maria Blohm, Långjäst och lättbakat ...

Carrot and Lentil Patties

⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Vegan carrot and lentil patties using soaked (not cooked) red lentils. Simple and well-structured. Ingredients 200 ml dried red lentils (2 dl) 1 garlic clove 1 tbsp peanut butter or tahini (15 ml) 3 medium carrots (approximately 200 g) 1 tbsp potato starch (15 ml) 1 tbsp sesame seeds (15 ml) 1 tbsp parsley, fresh or frozen (15 ml) salt and black pepper to taste oil for frying Instructions Submerge red lentils in water for 4-8 hours (or overnight).

Don’t turn prematurely to prevent them from falling apart. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Notes Falafel principle: This recipe uses the falafel technique of soaking rather than cooking the lentils, which results in firmer patties with better structure. ...
