Åsa wants to make up

Sorry for the bad updates. I thought I'd make it up by posting some things I did in school.
Like this:


It's a "Budapeststock/stubbe". It's basically meringue with nuts, and a chocolate/rome filling covered in marzipan, painted with chocolate and marzipan figures.

Åsa bakes a cake again

Last tuesday I baked this cake for our craft circle!

Åsa bakes a cake that says "Fuck you"

Today I had a test in school, and one of the things we had to do was to make a cake. I was reaaally stressed because of all the other stuff we had to do, but I managed to make this cake in about 20 minutes. I haven't been in my best mood today, so I made the sign when I came home. I got a pretty good grade on it actually and I like it, but it could have been better if I only had have 15 more minutes. It did taste awesome.

Åsa fails and makes up for it

Today I wanted to try my sour dough, so I baked this bread (yeah, I started it a couple of days ago, of course). But it didn't turn out well at all, so I'm not going to show it.

I am going to show some photos I took today when we celebrated Emma's birthday!

Åsa bakes a cake

We've been making a lot of cakes in school recently. Today we made a lot of chocolate decorations. This cake has a layer of brownie first, then a layer of milkchocolate mousse and on top of that, a white chocolate mousse. It's decorated with grapes and chocolate.

Åsa bakes bagels

Bagels are great and super easy to make. Perfect!

Åsa bakes for her "julfika"

Yesterday I invited some people (among them, Karin) for "julfika" at my place. So naturally I had to bake and I baked blondies with macadamia nuts and white chocolate, toffee and a vegan sponge cake. And I thought people could eat my ginger bread house. I like to feed my friends.

Åsa makes a ginger bread house

Yesterday in school we made ginger bread houses. This is what mine looks like:

I wasn't in a good mood and let an airplane crash in the roof.

but I became happy with the result.

When I carried it to the tram home, an old lady stopped me and told me that she thought it looked really nice. That made me very happy! And of course I will put on a loooot of candy on the roof, that's the best thing about ginger bread houses.

Åsa bakes blueberry buns

Okay, so this friday I spent 6 hours baking blueberry buns for my friends art exhibition. The photos didn't turn out so good because I was in a hurry. But the buns turned out nice.

Åsa day 11

Today I decided to bake some bread again, but with a different seasoning. I basically used the same recipe as the last time, but this time it looked like this:

500g water
800g flour
200g rye flour
50g yeast
50g olive oil
5g salt
½ dl honey
1 ½ tomatos
50 g parmesan
6 cloves of garlic (kind of small)
black pepper & some (dry) herbes

I also took some (crappy) pictures to show you how to do:

1. Mix the water (about + 37C) with the olive oil and dissolve the yeast.















2. Add all the rye flour, honey, salt and almost all of the regular flour.




3. Blend all the ingrediens and
put it on the table (or in a
machine if you owe one).











4. Work the dough really well.













5. Chop the tomatoes into kind off small pieces and grate the parmesan and the garlic. Add tomatoes, parmesan, garlic, the spices and herbs in the dough and make sure it blends.










6. Let it rise i the bowl under some plastic foil until it's twice it's original size.











7. When it looks like this you can start measure up the pieces. I made two loafs and four small ones.














8. Then I let it rise under plastic again. For half an hour or so.

9. After it's been in the oven it looks like this. I had the big ones in the oven at 200C for about 25 minutes and the small one at 250C for 15-20 minutes. Done!

Åsa day 4

Today Karin told me to bake a bread after my own recipe.
So I did.
Here's the recpie:

500g milk

50g yeast
50g olive oil
5g salt
100g sour cream
70g walnuts
100g almonds
130g apple
a little less than ½dl honey
(some spices, for exaple cinnamon)

Do like this:
1. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk (37 degrees) and add the oil.
2. Combine the yeast mixture with all the rye flour and 500g of the regular flour.
3. Add the honey, salt and sour cream. Stir well.
4. Roughly chop the almonds and walnuts and add them in the bowl. Grate the apple and add.
5. Add the rest of the flour, a little at a time. Make sure the dough doesn't become to dry, it can be a little sticky.
6. Work the dough really well.
7. Let the dough rise under plastic or a towel until it's double it's original size.
8. Divide the dough into pieces of 200g, and make the pieces round.
9. Put a little water on top and dip them in rye flour.
10. Let them rise again for a while.
11. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.


Unfortunately my camera is temporarily dead, so there will be no pictures, but it is a pretty tasty bread.
