My Easy Basil and Cheese Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups bread flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 ½ tsp salt
4 tbsp olive oil
2 cups fresh basil leaves
4 Oz. pepper jack cheese
1 ½ cup plus 2 tbsp water

We need a cast iron pan with a lid and also need to heat the oven to 450 F with the pan inside it.
Combine flour, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Process basil leaves with salt and olive oil in a food processor until it turns into a paste. Add that paste to the flour bowl. Start adding water to the flour and knead the dough. Knead with a stand mixer for a good 5 to 8 minutes.
Add cheese to the dough and continue kneading till the dough pulls from the bowl.

Cover the dough bowl and let it proof in a warm spot for about an hour. After the first rise, punch the dough down and divide it into two parts.
Now shape them into two baguettes and transfer them to your floured banneton baskets. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate the loaves overnight.
Next day, heat the oven to 450 F and place a cast iron pan on the lower third rack. Heat the pan in the oven for at least 20 minutes.
Transfer the baguettes from bannetons to parchment paper and put a slit on the side. Transfer to the heated cast iron pan along with the parchment and place the lid on it.
Bake your baguettes covered for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake more for 10-15 minutes till the exterior is golden. Slice your bread after cooling and enjoy serving it alongside your favorite soups.

Potato Samosas

For the pastry:
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup ghee or coconut oil
½ tsp ajwain seeds
1 tsp salt
About ½ cup ice cold water- adjust the water requirement according to your flour quality. In the end, we are looking for a slightly tight dough.

Combine flour, salt, ajwine, and ghee. Now rub between your hands to incorporate the ghee. Start adding ice water slowly and knead your dough. If the dough is hard and resisting then let it rest for five minutes and then knead again. Cover it and keep it in a cool place till we prepare the rest.

For the filling:
About 1 ½ - 2 lbs boiled potatoes- Boil with the skin on till tender and any potato variety will work.
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp grated ginger
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 cup sweet peas
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp black pepper
½ 1 tsp tsp adjust to your liking

Blueberry Cloud Cake

For the blueberry puree:

2 cups fresh blueberries

3 tbsp sugar

Citrus zest

It should yield one cup puree.

Combine the three in a sauce pan and start cooking on medium heat. Cook till the blueberries release their juices. Continue cooking for about ten minutes. Then remove from heat and cool a bit. You can pulse in a food processor and then strain the puree or you can use a manual strainer as shown in the video. Discard the pulp and reserve the strained puree.

4 eggs at room temperature

¾ C superfine sugar

½ C oil

¼ C sour cream

1 C of the strained and reserved blueberry puree

1 ¼ all-purpose flour

¼ C corn starch

1 tbsp baking powder

Vanilla extract

Citrus zest or 1 tbsp lemon juice

For frosting:

2 cups heavy whipping cream- Chilled

¼ cream cheese

¼ C sugar

Vanilla or cinnamon powder for flavoring (optional)

Homemade blueberry preserve

Fresh blueberries for garnish

Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Heat oven to 325 F.

Sift flour, corn starch, and baking powder together. Crack eggs in a separate bowl and add the superfine sugar to it. Start whisking with a hand held mixer till it becomes thick and yellow. Continue whisking till the ribbon stage forms. Add oil, sour cream, zest and vanilla to it and mix.

Start adding the dry flour mix to it slowly. Add in three steps and fold with spatula gently. Now pour into the prepared pans. Tap them on the surface and bake at 325 F for 30 minutes.
