You’re going to love this 💙. Yiayia sent over a bowl of fava which was perfect timing for us to enjoy with our bread.

Enjoy this little vid whilst I prepare the recipe for you in the next post! 🥖.

 SPITIKÓ PSOMÍ ME MÁRATHO. Home made Greek style bread with

The only advice I can offer when having this bread, is to drench you Horiatiki salata (Greek salad) in the best olive oil. That way you finish your meal soaking up that goodness with this baked freshness. We also enjoyed it with a fresh batch of Yiayia’s fava she sent over 🙏. My fav!

1 tablespoon of crushed fennel seeds, plus extra for later

In a bowl combine 1.5 cups of flour, the water, yeast and olive oil. Stir until well combined and cover with cling wrap leaving it to double in size for approximately 30 minutes.

Once risen, add the crushed fennel seeds and the remainder of the flour. Use your hands to incorporate and then place onto a floured work space. Knead for approximately 3-5 minutes or until I nice smooth dough forms. You may have to add a little flour to the dough if it’s sticks to your surface.

Roll the dough gently into a long loaf and transfer onto a flat baking tray lined with paper. Brush with a little water and sprinkle with more fennel seeds. Let it sit in a cool oven for 15-20 minutes, you will notice it will grow in size.

Remove the dough from the oven and preheat to 180c fan forced. Cut three slits into the loaf and once the oven is at temperature bake for approximately 25 minutes and golden.

Allow to cool slightly before cutting and enjoy. Be sure to check out my video in the previous post for more of a how-to.

 Happy Friday! 🥳 Sorry about the Mac spam lately. But

Fragrant with orange zest and mastica it’s the perfect accompaniment to your coffee ☕️. I must inform you, when testing my recipe for my cooking class I made them by hand beating the butter and sugar with just a wooden spoon. The result was far better than what I get using and electric mixer. So if you’ve got the patience give it a go and make your koulourakia the way our grandmothers did 🙏.

Egg wash: combination of eggs and milk whisked together.

Cream butter and sugar with your wooden spoon or stand mixer till nice and fluffy or pale in colour. Add the eggs beat very well till combined.

Add 1 cup of flour into the butter and sugar mixture and incorporate well.

In a seperate glass or bowl combine orange juice, zest, vanilla, mastica, baking powder and soda and stir well until it fizzes pouring it into your bowl. Stir to combine then add the remainder of the flour mixing well until a soft dough forms. The dough will seem sticky in the bowl but is workable in your hands.

Allow the dough to rest for 30 mins covered in glad wrap before creating different shapes.

Use a heaped tablespoon of dough to roll out your shapes and once they have been formed, brush with egg wash and bake at 170C fan forced for approx. 20mins or until golden.

Note: be mindful of the thickness of your shapes. Thin koulorakia cook quicker and will likely dry out whilst they bake. The goal is for them to be soft in the centre.

Yield: approximately 40-50 Koulourakia depending on the shapes you create.

Happy baking! As always tag me if you use my recipe, I’d love to see your recreations.
