Okay so!! I’m kinda on a mission to clear out the insides of my kitchen since I’ve hoarded so many cans and tins and jars and spices and things that I ought to use em’ so I made oat milk and some bread (I’m a vegan oops) and so uh I thought I’d give you the recipes if that’s something you fellow goblins, gnomes and fae are interested in!!!
Bread (vegan friendly)
Ingredients:
1 & 2/3 cup of luke warm water
2 & 1/4 tsp of fresh or instant yeast- I always use fresh since it’s a lot cheaper and works pretty much without fail. Plus it’s an excuse to go to my bakery (it’s called moss and sons... come on)
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp of vegan butter/margarine for the top- you could use oil but I really think butters better for this bit.
2 tbsp of vegan butter/margarine (I use flora) or if you really don’t have any just use oil
1 tsp & 1 tbsp sugar or maple syrup if that’s your thing
4 & 1/2 cups of all purpose or bread flour
Okay so you’re gonna wanna get half your water and mix it with your yeast and sugar until you’ve got it all dissolved up in there- allow it it chill for 5-15 minutes till it’s foamy & fizzy
In another bowl you’re going to want to mix your salt, flour, rest of your sugar and just pop your fat in there too- then add your yeast and water mix!
Kneed it for like 10 minutes till the whole thing sticks together & leaves the bowl alone a bit. Oil yer bowl, cover and leave for 45 minutes some place warm.
Once that’s done rising punch yer bowl of dough down till it’s all nice and compact then split your dough into 2 halves (that’s right- this makes two loaves) and shape into logs or round lumps or rocks or whatever you fancy- I popped one of mine into a loaf dish and the other just a blob heh.
You’re gonna wanna pop these fellas onto a tray (make sure you grease it first) and cover it & leave it for another 45 minutes in that warm spot. Turn your oven to 190C 10 minutes before you gotta pop em in- then bake for 25-30 minutes till golden yada yada.
Once they’re out you’re gonna wanna get em out of any pans ASAP so you can brush that melted butter on top so they stay nice and soft!
Boom. Bread. Real goblin food.
Oat Milk
Ingredients:
1 cup of rolled oats
4 cups of water
1-3 dates
A pinch of salt
So this is hella easy you just want to put your water, salt and dates into a blender until the dates are literally pulverised
Then add your oats, please make sure you don’t over do the blending or else you get this weird slimy consistency & it’s just not nice.
Strain through cloth, paper towel, tea strainers, sieves or whatever else you can get your claws on and pop it in yer fridge. Make sure to compost any remains!!!
