TWD - Whole Wheat and Flax Daily Bread

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking with Dorie) recipe is Whole Wheat and Flax Daily Bread.

As the name suggests, this bread includes whole wheat flour and flax seeds in the ingredients. Powdered milk is an unusual inclusion in the ingredients, but which seems to make Dorie’s bread recipes so good.

This bread is best eaten fresh on the day it’s made - I enjoyed the crust piece slathered with Bonn Maman chocolate orange spread. After that, I recommend toasting this bread.

Peach cream cheese almond loaf

I recently baked this Peach Cream Cheese Almond Loaf cake. It is a nutty sponge with a cream cheese filling and a peach topping.

The recipe comes from the January 2026 edition of the Australian Womens Weekly.

Here is the recipe:

 

Panettone bread and butter pudding

If you have leftover panettone, a great way to use it up is to make a bread and butter pudding. This is my mum’s version.

3 eggs

3 large tbspns sugar

2 cups milk

panettone

spreadable butter

desiccated coconut 

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Warm the milk on the stove (don’t boil). In the meantime, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Once the milk is warm, gradually add the eggs/sugar mixture, stirring all the while. Continue to stir the mixture over the heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Pour the custard into an ovenproof dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil.

Cut thin slices of panettone and spread with butter. Cut into quarters and place on top of the custard. Sprinkle the top with coconut.

Place the pudding into a water bath in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a thin knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Serve as is or with a scoop of icecream. 

 

TWD - Cocoa-Cranberry Linzer Tart

 This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Cocoa-Cranberry Linzer Tart. A soft nutty chocolate pastry encases a cranberry and raspberry fruit filling.

I was pleased to have frozen cranberries to use for this recipe, as cranberries are very hard to get here. 

In the filling, I used youngberry jam as I didn’t have any raspberry jam, and it worked well. 

Because the pastry was very soft, you had to work with it quickly before it “unchills”. Even then, my top disc of pastry didn’t behave, but I got there in the end.

This tart smelled divine as it baked, and tasted absolutely delicious.it is a great festive or anytime dessert.

Baked-in-a-skillet Gingerbread

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie (Dorie’s Anytime Cakes) recipe is Baked-in-a-skillet Gingerbread. I didn’t have a skillet, so I used an 8” pie dish instead, and only made a half recipe. It contains both ground and crystallised ginger.

 Even a half recipe made a large cake. This one was ok, but I didn’t love it. I probably won’t repeat it.

TWD - Pistachio -Matcha Financiers

 This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking with Dorie) recipe is Pistachio-Matcha Financiers. These are little bite-sized morsels flavoured and coloured with - you guessed it - pistachio and matcha.

These financiers contain both plain flour and wheat flour, as well as ground pistachios. Once baked and cooled, the financiers are glazed with white chocolate.

These are little morsels of heaven- I ate two the day they were made.

TWD - Custardy Apple and Kale Cake

 

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Custardy Apple Kale Cake. It is a hybrid sweet-savoury cake, and as Dorie says, is like an omelette but more elegant.

The cake contains apples, kale, cheese, eggs, flour and salt and pepper. I may have been a little skeptical (cue savoury muffins -yuk), but this cake is delicious.

I kept half and gave half to the neighbours. My half made a delicious lunch with boiled egg and tomato over a few days.
