What are you baking?

I've been making lots of curries recently, so I thought I'd try making naan bread, seeing as the supermarket ones are so disappointing. They turned out well, not as good as the pillowy deliciousness I get from my local curry house, but they have a special oven

Most of the recipes I've seen suggest cooking them in a hot skillet.

I put my pizza stone in an oven turned up to max, and get a fairly good result from that.
 
Jesus christ that looks amazing. Can you remember how you made it? :D
Yes super easy.
15 oz of pumpkin flesh roasted with sesame oil crushed cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg or you could use allspice and ginger. Table spoon of brown sugar....although I made it with condensed milk so perhaps didn't need the sugar?
Once the pumpkin has cooked so mushy and cooled, mix it with a 14 oz can of condensed milk, 2 eggs, 3 tbs of ground almonds. Wizzit all up add a splash of ammeretto. Pour in to my pie case ( I used ready made short crust pastry). Half a block worked.
Cook at 200 c fan for 15 mins
Then remove attatch pie shield (so pastry does not burn)
Turn oven to 180 c
For about 38 minutes.

Im sorry I can't be precise about some things ....as I just bung it together....call it intuative cooking ;)
 
I've made the ugliest blackberry turnovers ever - they're delicious, but I overfilled them and vegan milk doesn't stick seams together very well.

Also another parkin, which I've just painted with a treacle/Jim Beam mix for extra dampness.

Can I ask, I have a receipe that calls for soft dark brown sugar but I can't get it at the moment, I have some muscavado, will that be interchangeable?

If you don't want it to be that dark I personally would make it part muscovado and part caster sugar, if you have that. That would be the equivalent. Maybe something like 60:40, muscovado to caster.
 

It's this recipe
 

I've made this. It's banging. 😍
I had a go at making soft pretzels this morning. Had them with some soup but they need a bit more salt next time. And forming better. :D

Another recipe from my all time favourite 1983 cookbook Sweet Dreams, this one called 'Pride of Anducia'. A couple of oranges, thinly sliced with rind still on, layered with an almond cake mixture and cooked at a low temperature for a couple of hours until the orange has softened.

One more to go - already made, just needs marzipan and icing. I left the bag of orange slices for decorations at home and my mother has no icing sugar despite insisting she definitely had plenty and I shouldn't bring mine :facepalm:
 
Last cake done (apart from the disastercake at home which doesn't count coz all I have to do with that is keep feeding it brandy and eventually eat it). Went with the artex look out of laziness since I usually don't bother with royal icing.
