Bake Bake Bake

...why yes, I did watch the Great British Bake Off last night. How did you know?


This morning I made 4 shortcrust pastry tartlets using this recipe. Tonight I will make a caramelised red onion and goats cheese filling.

I've also baked a big white loaf. This was made using one of mum's cooking books. I've attempted the loaf quite a few times this summer and feel like I'm getting closer. I will detail more about the loaf when I feel I have mastered it.

Roast Chicken Stuffed with Mozzarella, Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes

Mum has been a busy bee at work lately, so I thought I'd make her something tasty for dinner!

This is so so simply to make,
Simply pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees
Slice each chicken breast (same as number of guests) like a sandwich
Spread with pesto, then layer with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes
Bake until the chicken cooked through (white)
Take out of the oven, glaze the top with butter and cook for a further 5 minutes.

I've served this on a bed of salad, but would be lovely with homemade wedges for hungry hungry hippos.
