Baking with boys

Boys. Fun. Baking. How do the three go together?

Very Well is the answer!!!

Especially if you have two hours of intense excercise and football, followed by a delicious warm lunch – the kids couldn’t be happier to join Chef Maik to bake their own pastry for tea time.

Of course with apples !!!

                               

Here is the recipe:

🍕 Dissolve 1 tsp organic cane sugar in 240 ml lukewarm water.

🍕 Add 42 g of yeast, 500 g organic spelt flour, 1 pinch of salt and 80 ml of vegetable oil (we used safflower seed oil).

🍕 Mix everything thoroughly and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. It will make pizza airy and light.

🍕 Let the dough rise for 1 hour.

🍕 On a floured surface, roll out the dough and let it rest for another 20 minutes.

🍕 Add the toppings of your choice. For extra sweet pizza: slather the top of the pizza with jam or sour cream and add your favorite fruits (we used apples, of course J).

🍕 You can also sprinkle the flaked/sliced almonds, cane sugar or cinnamon over the top.

🍕 Bake at 200 ° C (fan oven) for about 15 minutes (depending on the size of the pizza and the thickness of the topping).

It’s time for pizza! 😋

 

One of our green gift ideas for moms

This weekend just gone we had our Reunion Summercamp and one of our favourite activities was – Brussel Sprouts Forever.

We may like or dislike eating Brussel sprouts. But we enjoyed finding out how they grow (thank you Farmer Huschke)…

… and then transforming this vegetable into beautiful floristic arrangement (thanks Nina Bania from Blüten Design for the wonderful help):

                  

Check out how easy it is to make a mind-blowing present for mommy!!! And, of course, decorate it with…

… APPLES! 🙂

Because we love apples and even explain our learning philosophy with it. Learn more
