00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,320
Mike, we get to bake today.
2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,480
And I'm pretty excited about this
because you're making a sourdough,
3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,240
and in all of my years
of cooking and baking
4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,320
I've never touched sourdough.
5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,280
So, I personally
have a lot to learn.
6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,280
Wow, I can't believe
you've never done a sourdough bake.
7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,400
I know!
8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,640
Well, I'm gonna show you
9
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,200
what I think is a very achievable
recipe for home.
10
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,960
Well, I'm gonna make
a chai spice pear muffin
11
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,440
with lots of nuts and seeds,
12
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,080
so, there's not traditional flours
in it,
13
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:28,440
but there's lots of flavour,
there's lots of good, healthy fats
14
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,680
and it's a great
little sweet treat, pick-me-up
15
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,120
for when you're on the go.
16
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Can't wait to taste.
17
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,280
(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)
18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,280
Sourdough bread.
19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,360
It is 100%
one of my favourite things to bake.
20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,960
I've never made it,
21
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:07,480
and I'm looking at these ingredients
22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,320
and they're all familiar
because they're all so simple,
23
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,320
but now I get to actually
learn the science of bread
24
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:14,640
because it is a bit of a science,
25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,760
isn't it?
It is.
26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600
So, this is basically stage one.
27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Smell that.
28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,040
(SNIFFS) Ooh!
29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,880
It's got some funk to it.
It's got...
30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,960
Exact word. It's got the funk
that you associate with sourdough.
31
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,480
So, this is basically
what we're gonna make today.
32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,760
And with your starter, or your
leaven, as they call it in France,
33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,320
you've got to feed it.
34
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,240
Traditionally,
you should feed it every day.
35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,880
You can get away with every two days.
36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,240
The way I build the recipe
37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,600
is what's left over
goes all into your sourdough.
38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,600
OK.
OK?
39
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160
So, we start with 50g
of that beautiful...
40
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Look at that.
Look at it all bubbling too.
41
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,280
That beautiful leaven.
42
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,600
And I bake almost every day.
43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,520
I can do this little bit by eye.
44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,160
OK, so, we start off with 50g
45
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,600
of the leaven,
46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800
and the rest of this
will go into the dough in a minute.
47
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200
To add to this
48
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,600
we add 100 mil of water.
49
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,000
And is that just a room-temp water
as well?
50
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,560
Room temp absolutely fine.
51
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,920
70g of strong bread flour.
52
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,080
Mm-hm.
53
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,000
And the bread-flour aspect
is really important, isn't it?
54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,080
Yeah. You can't do it
with, like, a normal, plain flour.
55
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,160
It doesn't have high enough protein,
basically, in it.
Right.
56
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,880
You need something a lot stronger.
57
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,400
And then 30g
58
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,440
of wholemeal.
59
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,080
And with a combination
of the two flours
60
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,760
you get the best of both worlds.
61
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,880
You do!
62
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
And then we just mix it.
63
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,240
Why do we do it in a little jar?
Like, what's the...
64
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,120
Less washing up.
Oh! OK!
65
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,120
So, basically you can see
that the structure of it now
66
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,840
is really quite dense and heavy.
67
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,840
It is.
68
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,240
So, once
you do this,
69
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160
this goes straight in your fridge
70
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160
and it will start to slowly ferment.
71
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,440
And then the night before you bake
72
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,920
you take it out of the fridge...
73
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:01,920
Yeah.
74
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:03,520
..leave it at room temperature
all night
75
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,320
and then your leaven's
ready to bake with.
76
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,160
OK, so, this heavy,
dense-looking starter
77
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400
becomes this
78
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,920
just with time, just with
the natural fermentation process.
79
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,560
It's quite the difference, though,
isn't it?
80
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600
It's amazing. And that's
the science element of it, you know?
81
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,800
So, this we're gonna keep now
and we're gonna make the dough.
82
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Oh, yes! Let's do it.
83
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,280
Alright.
You've never made sourdough before.
84
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040
It's your turn.
Get me involved.
85
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,560
So, all the leaven, or the starter...
86
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,120
Yeah.
..into the bowl first.
87
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,760
And I'm doing this
straight into a mixing bowl
88
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,400
'cause I'm gonna use a machine
to knead it.
89
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,400
OK? If you don't have one at home,
no problem at all.
90
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,560
Just do it into a large mixing bowl
and do it by hand, basically.
91
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680
OK, once all the leaven's in
92
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,680
you're going in with 490 water.
93
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,680
It's precision
even in the water component.
94
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,160
Bucket of salt?
95
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,120
(LAUGHS) 10 grams.
96
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
OK.
Again, weigh this at home, guys.
97
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,600
And then we just need to whisk it.
98
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,440
So, your sourdough whisker.
99
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,280
Also a specific whisker needed
as well.
100
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Yeah. You want to basically break up
that starter into the water
101
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,960
so it all becomes one.
102
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,760
And then we're gonna leave that
to set for one hour.
103
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,880
How's it looking?
104
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,360
Nice.
Looks good.
105
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,040
But you do the test.
106
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,760
So, those bubbles are your friend.
107
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,880
And you can use a normal whisk.
You don't need a bread whisker.
108
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,840
It's just easier to clean.
Right.
109
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,520
It really is because there's
less places for it to stick.
110
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,440
So, that's it for this stage.
111
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,600
We now leave that to rest
for one hour
112
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,400
and then we come back
to add the flours.
113
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,920
Alright, that's been sitting there
for an hour now,
114
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,440
and now it's as simple
as adding in our flours.
115
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,600
I'm adding in 560g
of the strong bread flour.
116
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
OK. This is obviously pre-measured.
117
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,600
No, I'm doing it...
That's how good...
118
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Yeah, it's pre-measured.
Chefs know.
119
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,360
(LAUGHS)
120
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,200
And now we're going 140
of the wholemeal.
121
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,360
And literally
I'm gonna put it on to knead,
122
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,520
like, to mix together,
leave it to knead for 12 minutes,
123
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,720
I'm gonna leave it to proof
for an hour and a half
124
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,520
and then come back
to stretch and fold.
125
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,640
So, we're doing
the final stretch and fold now.
126
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,040
So, we've done this process
already two times before,
127
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,560
and you basically
want to do it three times
128
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,680
with an hour and a half in between.
129
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,640
This is where I think
I'd be worried, right?
130
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,840
Because if I forget to set a timer
131
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,640
or if someone
takes off with something...
132
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,520
Do you know what? It's OK.
I've over-proofed it many times,
133
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,160
like, in between
the stretch and folds.
134
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Yeah.
135
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,680
It's not that bad
as long as it proofs.
136
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,080
It's the most important part.
137
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
So, now to do the stretch and fold,
138
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040
it's literally exactly that.
139
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,280
Look how elastic it is.
140
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:05,280
Yeah.
141
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:09,360
And with each one
it gets more and more pliable.
142
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,680
But you, basically,
143
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,320
as far out as you can stretch it
is what you want to do.
144
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,360
And that's what gives you
those layers and aeration
145
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,760
in your bread later.
146
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,800
You get to understand
147
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,880
how far you can work the dough
before you get those rips.
148
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,200
And, like, if you get a couple,
it's OK
149
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,240
'cause you're about
to fold it back in anyway.
150
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,520
And then you're gonna fold it in.
151
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,160
And reshape it.
152
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,800
So, you can see you've still got
all those beautiful bubbles in there.
153
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,240
And I just spin it and tuck it.
154
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,160
So, you do a spin and tuck.
155
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Honestly,
156
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,040
I laugh, I make a joke, but it really
is my mindfulness when I'm baking
157
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,520
'cause you just have to focus
on the bread.
158
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,560
OK, so, this is basically now
gonna do its very final proof
159
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,040
in our basket.
160
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,520
So, I'm gonna dust this
with semolina.
161
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,040
And the reason
I use semolina flour for this
162
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,280
is it won't get incorporated
into the dough.
163
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,200
And we just lift it into our hand.
164
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,680
And that's the nice side,
165
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,200
so, that's what goes into
the basket first.
166
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,240
There I've got some pre-prepared
parchment paper to sit on top
167
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,000
'cause that's gonna rise up now
168
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,320
as we slowly proof that in the fridge
overnight.
169
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,520
We cover it with our cloth
and you can pop it in your fridge.
170
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,000
You can leave it overnight.
171
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,440
You can leave it up to
about 48 hours in the fridge.
172
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Not long now we're gonna bake it...
173
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Alright.
..and you get to taste.
174
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,560
So, moment of truth.
175
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,200
You can see already
how much that's risen in the fridge.
176
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,680
Do you know what I mean?
177
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920
And what we should have...
178
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,480
Oh!
179
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,120
Look at that.
180
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Is a beautifully aerated bread
181
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,080
and those gorgeous little bubbles
182
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280
that is synonymous with a sourdough.
183
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,320
You can see them
already coming through all the way.
184
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,760
So, in the oven.
185
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,400
I've got the Dutch oven,
186
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,120
which is preheated now
at high temperature - 250.
187
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Our oven goes to 240. It's fine.
188
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,760
So, 250 in the oven to preheat.
189
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,800
And then this we're just gonna
190
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,880
slowly make sure
it's not stuck at all to the basket.
191
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,080
So, I'm just gonna edge it away.
192
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,440
And you can see it's still
a little sticky, but not too much.
193
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,200
And then baking parchment.
194
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520
I've just cut it
into the same sort of shape.
195
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,680
So, like this.
196
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,640
Turn it upside down.
197
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240
And then
you just want to ease it away
198
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,720
about a gentle touch.
199
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,880
So, if you don't have patience
200
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,640
then this is not your recipe.
201
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,160
She's looking good.
202
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,720
She's looking good.
203
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Oh, wow!
204
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,280
So, we get our hot Dutch oven.
205
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,080
And heating the Dutch oven is an
important part of this as well,
206
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,080
isn't it?
207
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240
If you want that lovely
crusty bottom, absolutely.
208
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,800
So, we just drop that down.
209
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,360
Next bit of gentleness...
210
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,600
(LAUGHS)
211
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,000
..is you've just got to now
drop this in like that.
212
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,360
Like a glove!
213
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,760
And then pop a lid on.
214
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,840
Now, to bake -
215
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,280
20 minutes, highest temperature,
lid on,
216
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,480
10 minutes at that same
high temperature, lid off.
217
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,560
OK.
218
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,480
And then drop it to 230
for the last 20 minutes of baking.
219
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,440
Jac, is there any better smell than
freshly baked bread out of the oven?
220
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,560
Absolutely not.
221
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,680
Ohh!
This is a thing of beauty.
222
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,480
So, be careful at this stage.
223
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,880
You can let it cool down,
224
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,680
but it never, ever happens
in my household.
225
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,520
Like, the family absolutely attack it
when it's still hot.
226
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,440
Moment of truth.
227
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,680
Look at that.
228
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,200
Oh! So soft!
229
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,480
Got that gorgeous crust.
230
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,440
That's perfection!
231
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Light, fluffy.
232
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,320
You get the nice holes.
233
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,520
That is just a beautiful bread.
234
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000
You've got holes
in all the right places
235
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520
and the knife just glides through.
236
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,680
I mean...
237
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,560
..it IS a labour of love,
238
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,360
but some things in life
are just worth it.
239
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,240
See the steam coming off there?
I'm very...
240
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,680
I'm keen.
You've heard my stomach rumbling
241
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,360
the whole time
we've been together today.
242
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,920
Alright.
243
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,120
Now I very generously
poured the extra-virgin olive oil.
244
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,600
(LAUGHS)
245
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,120
And it can't be without
some good sea salt.
246
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,520
That's it. Ladies first.
247
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,880
I know you've been waiting.
Cheers.
248
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560
Cheers.
(BOTH LAUGH)
249
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,120
You can see that beautiful aeration
all the way through the bread,
250
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,680
which is exactly what you want.
251
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,320
Oh, wow.
252
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,240
Convinced you? Worth the effort?
253
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Absolutely worth the effort.
254
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,920
I promise you,
once you start baking,
255
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,560
you will fall in love.
256
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,640
It is my kind of mindfulness.
257
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,440
Guys, my sourdough bread.
Give it a try.
258
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Mike, we're gonna make
my chai spice pear muffins,
259
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,680
which is probably a good thing
because my tummy's rumbling
260
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:40,640
and I evidently need a snack.
261
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,200
So, to make them I'm gonna start
with our wet ingredients in the bowl,
262
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,720
some extra-virgin olive oil,
263
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,360
which I love using in baking because
it's versatile and easy to use.
264
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120
You could also use melted butter
if that's your thing.
265
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,440
But, while I get
the wet ingredients together,
266
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,800
I'd love for you to...
267
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,680
Read my mind!
Oh!
268
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,520
I'm pretty sure the pears were gonna
come into play pretty quickly.
269
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,280
Drain one and a half cups
of the pears.
270
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,960
These are a ready prepped pear,
which I absolutely love,
271
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,440
and then we can chop them up
272
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,720
or, if you like something
a little bit more chunky,
273
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,440
then you can actually
leave them as whole pieces
274
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,040
into the muffin as well
275
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,680
and just look at them coming out
276
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:18,880
and being, like,
big juicy pieces of pear in there.
277
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,000
I love how you bake.
It's all in one bowl.
278
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,960
It's delicious, but it's simple.
It's really achievable.
279
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,280
I want it to be a really simple
for people to actually achieve
280
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,040
so that they can maintain it
281
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,200
and they can sustain
their health and their longevity.
282
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,840
I've sweetened with some honey.
283
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,480
We're gonna get our eggs in.
284
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,760
I've got three eggs in this recipe
to help bind it
285
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,760
because I'm not using
a traditional wheat flour.
286
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,240
Our flour as such
is our almond meal today.
287
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,400
So, I need other ingredients
288
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,280
to help bind all the foods together.
289
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,040
And some vanilla extract.
290
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,520
Can I ask why almond meal
for this one?
291
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,400
I like gluten-free options
for muffins.
292
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,240
I love being able to find, especially
with baked goods and sweet treats,
293
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,880
healthier ways to still make them
very similar to the original
294
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440
but with more nutritious ingredients
in them.
295
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,040
So, the combination
of the almond meal
296
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,400
as well as the nuts and seeds
in this recipe
297
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,240
ensures that there's lovely
healthy fats in there.
298
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,960
And I love healthy fats.
299
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,920
It's actually what's going to help
keep you fuller for longer.
300
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,560
I have some spices here.
301
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,600
It's a chai spice pear muffin.
302
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,400
So, we've got our cinnamon,
our ginger and our cardamon
303
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,800
and also some baking powder
to help it rise.
304
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,360
The aroma is a 100% chai.
Like, it just...
305
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,280
Yeah!
It's one of my favourite smells.
306
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,720
I love a chai tea
and I always make my own
307
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,840
because it's pretty expensive
to buy the chai tea packets.
308
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,840
Yeah!
309
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,560
And it's so easy to make at home.
310
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,480
I mean, you've basically
given everyone a quick recipe.
311
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,440
That's right. I'm here for it.
312
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Alright, so, we've got our wet
ingredients all whisked together.
313
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,600
We will...
314
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,840
What do you think? Should we leave it
so they're chunky?
315
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,240
Up to you.
Or should we cut them up a bit?
Do you want me to cut them up a bit?
316
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,960
Maybe we'll just cut them up
ever so slightly.
317
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,200
She wants me to do extra work.
What a surprise.
318
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,680
(BOTH LAUGH)
319
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,960
And I've also got the fresh dates
in there as well.
320
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480
You noticed I only used
about a quarter of a cup of honey,
321
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,640
so, we're going to bring sweetness
through fruit,
322
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,120
which is something I also love to do
in healthier baked treats
323
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,680
because if we can find a way
to sweeten through the fruit
324
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,080
that also contains the fibre
and other vitamins and minerals
325
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,720
then that's a really fun
little hack for you.
326
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,960
Pretty generous cup
of chopped-up dates is a good one.
327
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,680
So, as you're getting the dates in,
328
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,320
just separate them a little bit
so they don't all clump together.
329
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Alright.
330
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,200
We have some sunflower seeds,
331
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,280
which I love
for those healthy fats and fibre.
332
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Also some walnuts,
which we're going to crush some in.
333
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,640
And I'll get your help
with that too, Mike.
334
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Walnuts are also lovely and rich
in omega-3 fats,
335
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,880
so, let's get some omega-3 fats
336
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,720
through a handful of walnuts
and some other raw nuts and seeds
337
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,360
each day as a snack.
338
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,480
We'll get our almond meal in as well.
339
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,680
I love that the almond meal
and other things like hazelnut meal
340
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,440
are so readily available
these days too as well, right?
341
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Like, when all the gluten-free
ingredients first came out,
342
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,680
it was sort of you had to, like,
343
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,120
hunt through to find things.
Had to go to the health-food shops
344
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,080
to find them or buy them online.
That's right!
345
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,360
And now it's just everywhere.
346
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Almond is a great flavour booster
as well.
347
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,360
It is.
348
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,720
OK, that's pretty good to go.
349
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Now we'll fold through some of our
pears and reserve some for the top.
350
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,440
So, Mike,
do you want to get a little spoon
351
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,840
so that we've got some
to pop on the top as well?
352
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,240
And depending on the size
of your muffin tin as well, right,
353
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,280
this is a real...
354
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,240
..cafe-style muffin tin, I would say.
355
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,240
(LAUGHS)
It's quite... It's quite deep,
356
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200
so, we'll see how many
we get out of here.
357
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Thanking you.
358
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,720
And then if you come in
after I've scooped
359
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,560
and get some of those extra pears
onto the top.
360
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,560
No problem.
361
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,000
We'll fill our muffin cases
about three-quarters full
362
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,880
so that there's that room
for rising.
363
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800
They look amazing.
You know they're wholesome
364
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,280
when they've got lots of chunky
fruits and nuts and things
365
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,440
in there as well.
366
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,200
That's when you know
it's gonna eat well as well
367
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,480
'cause it will keep it moist
as it cooks, it will flavour it.
368
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,920
You know, like, let's be honest -
369
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,600
best bit of the muffin
is usually the top.
370
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,160
Yes! The muffin top.
100%. The muffin top.
371
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,640
But, when you do it like this,
372
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,360
it should eat better
the whole way through.
373
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,440
It should be juicy
374
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,160
and moist and delicious.
375
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480
So, we'll scoop the rest of these
into their little cases,
376
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,080
and then pop them into the oven
at 165 degrees.
377
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,920
You'll notice that it's a lower heat
378
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,440
because, the nature of almond meal,
379
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,760
you don't want to have it
at a high heat or it can burn.
380
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,120
And we're going to cook them
for around 30 minutes.
381
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,960
Mike,
these have cooled down a little bit.
382
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,240
I made you a cuppa
383
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,400
'cause I figured a muffin without
a cuppa is just not a muffin at all.
384
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,640
It's not a muffin at all.
385
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,640
And this is probably one of the most
beautiful cuppas you've made me.
386
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Oh, look, I do my best to impress.
387
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,440
(CHUCKLES)
Here we go.
388
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,080
You can see there's lots
of juicy bits of the fruit.
389
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,360
The pears you can see on top.
390
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:10,360
Beautiful.
391
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:12,760
Very wholesome,
if I may say so myself.
392
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Nothing like a cake in a dress.
393
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,920
Yeah! (LAUGHS)
394
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,400
Alright, let's open it up
and have a try.
395
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,080
I feel it's going to be juicy
396
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,920
from all of the delicious pear
on the inside.
397
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Look at that!
There we go!
398
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,920
Now that's what I'm after
in a muffin.
399
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,880
Lots of chunky bits of fruit.
400
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,400
Great with a cup of tea.
401
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,800
All those delicious chai spices
in there.
402
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,680
So, really warming and flavoursome.
403
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,920
Teamed beautifully with the pear.
404
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,080
Mmm.
That is stunning.
405
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Mmm!
406
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,280
Stunning, moist, juicy, delicious.
407
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,520
The pears are prominent in flavour.
408
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,200
They've still got
a bit of texture to them.
409
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,200
The dates
and the sweetness that you...
410
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Honestly gobsmacked.
411
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:52,960
Aw!
412
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,880
That makes me very excited.
413
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,200
But, really, this is a recipe that
I cook probably weekly in our house.
414
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Really wholesome, really delicious
415
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,760
and a lovely way
to pack more nutrition into a muffin.
416
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,320
I'm gonna nick this one.
417
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,200
Take your roast pumpkin
to the next level
418
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,120
just by adding a few ingredients.
419
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,520
First we've got
some butternut pumpkin
420
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,600
that we've just cubed, large cubes,
421
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,520
and I've kept the skin on.
422
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,080
You don't have to take the skin off.
423
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,680
There's so much great flavour
in the skin.
424
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:42,240
Then we've got some dried Italian
herbs straight on to our pumpkin.
425
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,280
And then some ground cumin
that can go into the bowl.
426
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,960
And then the real hero
of this roast pumpkin -
427
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,680
some golden syrup.
428
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760
I love a bit of sweetness
on my pumpkin.
429
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,840
So, we've got about four cups
of pumpkin here
430
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720
to about a third of a cup
of golden syrup.
431
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,360
Love it.
432
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,400
Then a bit of pepper.
433
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,720
The golden syrup will really help
to caramelise our pumpkin.
434
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,840
And a good pinch of salt.
435
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Some olive oil.
436
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,440
A good glug of olive oil.
437
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,440
A couple of tablespoons.
438
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Alright.
439
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,640
And that is all.
440
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:29,040
I'm just gonna get in with my hands
and give that a good mix around.
441
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,400
So quick, so simple.
442
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,720
But the flavours that you get
out of this roast pumpkin
443
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,400
are out of this world.
444
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,680
Alright. Baking tray.
445
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Tip our pumpkin out onto the tray.
446
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,760
And just spread that out.
447
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,480
Easy. Job done.
448
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,440
Oven - 200 degrees
for about half an hour or so
449
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,040
until the pumpkin is soft
and caramelised and mouthwatering.
450
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,080
Look how caramelised and amazing
this pumpkin has turned out.
451
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,960
Let's get a good pile into our bowl.
452
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,600
That golden syrup has given it
that beautiful caramelisation.
453
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,040
I love using golden syrup
in my savoury dishes
454
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,760
when I want that hit of sweetness.
455
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,360
There you go.
456
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,000
Finish with a little bit
of salt on top.
457
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,280
This will be a ripper
with your roast lamb,
458
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,680
roast beef, roast anything.
459
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,440
My next-level roast pumpkin.
460
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Give it a crack.
461
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,680
