3 Ingredients Coconut Macaroons {Gluten-Free, Passover-Friendly}

I remember being a fan of all things coconut, and I still am. It’s aroma it’s one of those things that easily transports me to my roots in the Dominican Republic. It is also a feeling ingredient, that can be added to many dishes, savory and sweet, and prepared in many ways. Now, this cookies combine two things that I enjoy: coconut and crunch. 

Are you a fan of peanut or nut butters? You might want to try these Peanut Butter Cookies which are also made with 3 ingredients.

These cookies are perfect because: 

 – They are passover-friendly 

– It’s made with very few ingredients and requires short prep.

– You can increase this recipe easily to make bigger batches depending your needs.

 

I baked these cookies for 8 minutes and by the time they were golden all around, crunchy on the outside and a little creamy on the inside. You can reduce the oven temperature to 325F and bake for about 10-15 minutes if you want set cookies that are just lightly crunchy and more creamy. 

Semi sweet chocolate drizzle is a nice addition to this cookies, once they are baked and completely cooled down. 

 

Enjoy!

Super Crusty No-Knead Bread {Vegan}

With this easy No-Knead bread we officially start our Pre-Pesach cleaning season. Ha! Better to start early with the cleaning of the infamous flour in the cabinets and this is an excellent recipe to get started, as it is effortless and you just need 4 basic ingredients, a bowl, a “caldero” ( or you can use a cast iron pot or dutch oven with a lid) and patience to wait until is done!

Any person that bakes at home has to eventually make this super crusty No-Knead Bread. The most basic of all breads, continue to be the king, for its simplicity and perfect crusty exterior. It also requires minimum effort on our part, and it so versatile you can have it ready tomorrow for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Any time is the perfect time to have freshly baked bread at home so, let’s get to it! 

Once you have mixed the dough, the dough have to rest for a long time. This is the price we have to pay for “no knead bread”!! This process is call “fermentation”. It is when the yeast is activated and start eating the sugars and fermenting the dough. I am not going to get into the nitty gritty of bread baking here, but essentially this process will help our dough rise, among other things. 

I let my dough for 12-14 hours at room temperature, and it was good; but in reality the fermentation process can be a lot longer (up to 24 hours in this particular case) if you want. This will develop more complex aromas in the dough. It’s magic happening. Your dough will be ready when is full of tiny air bubbles, very elastic, and at least doubled in size (image #1). At this point you need to she a ball. Your dough will be sticky so don’t panic. Shape a ball and get ready to bake. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: keep in mind that, when shaping YOU DON’T WANT TO INCORPORATE MORE FLOUR INTO THE DOUGH , you just need enough flour to be able to shape the dough into a ball without it being a sticky mess.

It is always a good idea to have some hummus, babaganoush and salads ready for when it’s munch time! 

Easy, Vegan & Super Crusty No Knead Bread {Just 4-ingredients}

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Course Breakfast, Dinner

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven or Cast Iron

Ingredients
  

  • 450 gr Bread flour
  • 300 gr Lukewarm water
  • 4 gr Instant yeast
  • 10 gr Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine flour, yeast and salt. Add the water and mix well with a fork or wooden spoon until a rough dough is formed.
  • Place the rough dough on a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature (see notes) for at least 12-14 hours.
  • Before you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 232°C (450°F). Place the cast iron pot or dutch oven with its lid inside to preheat as well.
  • Place the fermented dough on a flat surface sprinkled with enough flour to avoid the dough from sticking. Gently shape a ball.
  • Carefully take the cast iron pot out of the oven, place a piece of baking paper on it and gently place the dough ball inside.
  • Put the lid on the dutch oven, take back to the oven and bake for 30 minutes
  • After 30 minutes, carefully remove the lid and bake for another 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crusty.

Notes

The time of 12-14 hours is average for room temperature (around 20°C or 68°F).
If the average temperature in your kitchen is over room temperature, you can ferment your dough in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to 24 hrs. If that's the cake, before you are ready to bake, take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking. 
If the average temperature in your kitchen is colder than room temperature, you can leave your dough to ferment in he counter. It might just take a bit longer to be ready for baking.

4 Ingredients Peanut butter Hamantaschen {Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free}

Peanut butter Hamantaschen

Call me crazy for taking the classic Peanut Butter Cookies and making them “purim style”  in hamantaschen shape. This was the genius idea of my son and niece who wanted to make peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, but changed the shape of the cookies mid-way through the process, and although I was skeptical, it worked. 

If you are looking for an easy recipe to have some baking fun with the little ones, these 4 ingredients Peanut Butter Hamantaschen with chocolate filling might be what you are looking for.

Turning a classic into Peanut Butter Hamantaschen

To make these Peanut Butter Hamantaschen you’ll need 4 simple ingredients, you probably have at home right now:  peanut butter, eggs, sugar and chocolate chips, ganache or nutella (or your filling of preference). 

The process couldn’t be easier, just mix the ingredients in bowl (except for the chocolate chips), as you would when making the classic peanut butter cookies, and and mix with a fork or hand mixer until it has the consistency of a thick batter.

After this what is left is portioning the cookies, shaping and baking. I find that smaller cookies are easier to handle, so I weigh portions of 25-30 grams each. Flatten each one in your hands, pinch with a fork, place the filling in the center and shape. Transfer to a baking sheet for baking, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 12 minutes.
