Filled savory or sweet rolls are a must in Scandinavia and here in Sweden you can find them stuffed with virtually any type of filling. Just use your imagination and you can easily create a new, original, type of filled rolls. Last winter I made several batches of some lovely kale-cheese rolls. As they have […]
If I tell you that this loaf is made for 35% of chickpeas… and we all know that chickpeas are full of proteins… could you still say that bread is “empty calories”? This earthy loaf is amazing plain with butter, reminding a bit of hummus. It gets even better with pates and pickles, perfect match […]
I am super excited announcing a new foodie event to which I invite all of you to participate. If you like to bake, anything really as long as it is made with yeast, sourdough or no rising agent at all, you may be pleased to know that from this coming April your creations can be […]
This is an “almost ciambellone” because the typical Italian pound cake is baked in a round mold and I did not have one at hand. Ciambellone in fact means large ciambella, which is, a ring-shaped cake. As anticipated, my experiments aimed at making grains more digestible continue. So this time I made a buttermilk ciambellone […]

The sponge of the cake is actually made with whole-rye sourdough bread, finely ground and combined with eggs, sugar and hazelnuts. The filling is made of jam and whipped cream. In […]
I hope you did not think I was giving up with sourdough, did you? I mean… I have been posting a few gluten-free breads but this does not mean that I am going completely gluten-free. Yes, I am currently limiting the overall amount of wheat and gluten in my diet, also thanks to gluten-free breads […]
Do you know why I started to bake bread? Well… I don’t. Meaning… I cannot recollect all the different reasons why I decided to learn how to bake. But I know for sure that I started to dream of baking my own bread during pregnancy, when the smell of store-bought bread was enough to make […]
Would you ever guess that this decadent sweet rolls are gluten-free? I surely wouldn’t, not even after having had one too many for myself… I was immediately captivated when I saw some fluffy semlor in a brand new book on gluten-free baking. The book “baka glutenfritt” is by Karin Moberg – who has realized one of […]
Oh boy, it has been a very rough January. And an incredible February. And thanks the gods (all of them as I do not follow any specific one) I am still alive. Sweden has never been as dark, cold and grey as this year and our health has suffered from it. But, hey, I am getting well […]
A year has passed by since I made Jan Hedh’s wonderful sockerbullar with vanilla custard filling (find the original recipe here). The recipe was selected for this month’s challenge by my favorite Italian baking group, Quanti Modi Di Fare E Rifare*, and I am very curious and excited at the idea of seeing all the […]
