25.01.2022 Do you find the idea of baking your own bread (or anything that requires yeast) a little bit intimidating? I hear this often from bakers, but the truth of it is, working with yeast to make bread and other leavened recipes, isn't nearly as scary as you might think. Learning to successfully bake your own homemade bread (like this really delicious dimpled focaccia bread studded with olives) starts with discovering the role that yeast (both fresh and dried) plays in the baking pr...ocess and understanding what is actually happening throughout each step (kneading, proving and shaping) so you can 'see' and 'feel' when things aren't going to plan. If you would love to become confident at baking a range of homemade breads and other yummy yeast-based treats, I cover all these topics (and a whole lot more!) in my Bread and Yeast Baking Workshop, which runs on Sunday 2nd of May! After a glorious (and very fun) full-day of hands-on baking, you will leave the class with all the knowledge and skill you will ever need to attempt any yeast-based recipe (sweet or savoury) at home, without fear of failure!

24.01.2022 Tomorrow's edition of BakeNews is going to be an ode the gloriousness of cake! I don't know anyone that doesn't LOVE cake so I'm going to be sharing some very yummy recipes (including this classic chocolate number), and also some info about two fabulous cake-related classes that I have coming up very soon. I'll also be throwing in a collection of fabulous sourdough recipes I created with @sbsfood (you may have noticed some of them popping up in my feed recently) and filling y...ou in on some exciting things I have planned for 2021. It's set to be a jam-packed edition so members, keep a lookout for it and non-members, if you want to receive some baking goodness to your inbox tomorrow too, you can signup now, here: http://bit.ly/2MrQ0RI! #bakeclub #bakefeed #sourdough #sourdoughrecipes #cake #cakelovers #bakeclubaustralia #baking #bakers #lovetobake #bakeblog #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #bakefromscratch

This class will take place in the BakeClub kitchen in Rosebery, Sydney (yes an in-person class!) so don't miss your chance to join a group of other keen bakers for this 2-hr 'crash course' that will teach you all about how scien...ce impacts your baking (including intriguing things like the many roles that sugar plays including its part in what is known as the Maillard reaction when it binds and reacts with amino acids), and how to use that knowledge to turn your past baking failures into a delicious success!

24.01.2022 Would you like an insiders take on what its like to complete my comprehensive 6-month Make Me a Baker program? Take it from my past graduate (and Bakers Dozen award winner), Dimi Jayawardene: "I loved everything about Make Me a Baker! To be taught by Anneka, the course content, the gorgeous group of like-minded people you get to bake with each month, the kitchen, the equipment, the sponsors, the graduation, the support throughout the program and the confidence and knowled...ge you leave with are just a few things I loved about the course. Anneka is an amazing teacher and inspiration. She is very generous with her information and content." If you would love to follow in Dimis steps and immerse yourself in a complete baking experience, you need to be quick as there are only a few spots left in my next program which starts with one of six hands-on workshop sessions (the rest of the course you can do from wherever you are!), on Sunday 18th October.

22.01.2022 WHAT IS CAKE FLOUR? Q: What is cake flour and is it available in Australia? A: Cake flour is a low protein flour which usually contains about 7-8% protein (which you will find expressed as grams of protein per 100g flour in the nutritional panel on the packet). In comparison, regular plain flour contains around 10-11% protein while strong or bread flour contains around 12-15% protein. Why the protein content is important is that its an indicator of how much gluten can ...be developed in the batter or dough and how strong the baked structure will be. High protein = strong structure Low protein = weaker, softer structure High protein flour is used in bread bake where a strong structure is needed to effectively hold the carbon dioxide bubbles, while low protein flours are used when you want to achieve a more tender, softer crumb like in a sponge cake (and why it is called cake flour). It is available at selected supermarkets and specialty food stores, usually as a self-raising flour, but if you are unable to get hold of some you can make your own by reducing the protein content of regular plain flour by substituting some of it with cornflour (which is gluten protein-free). To make a homemade cake flour substitute: Measure 150g (1 cup) regular plain flour and then remove 2 tablespoons of it. Add 2 tablespoons cornflour and sift together before using. #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #qanda #bakingquestions #bakingfoundations #baking #bakers #lovetobake #learntobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #cakeflour #cakebaking #proteininflour

20.01.2022 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Chocolate Soufflé Pudding. There are only five days left for you to squeeze in some last-minute wintery puddings before we welcome Spring, so why not go out with a bang and bake this decadent little number?! Don't let the 'soufflé' part of the recipe put you off, this recipe is much more forgiving than traditional soufflés and you can even bake it into a delicious cake, rather than a pudding if you prefer. Whichever option you choose, this light, heavenly ...chocolate dessert (spiked with marsala or coffee) is the perfect way to farewell winter in style! If you want to give it a go, you can get my recipe here: https://bit.ly/34vZDGb. #recipeoftheweek #chocolatesouffle #winterpudding #chocolatecake #souffle #pudding #winterbaking #chocolate #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baking #bakers #lovetobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #bakefromscratch #bakingrecipe

20.01.2022 With today being the International Day of Bacon (no, I'm not kidding!) and Father's Day tomorrow, it really is only fair that I share my super scrummy Cheese and Bacon Scrolls recipe with you. Nothing like the commercially baked version, mine are more scone-like in texture and I should warn you, once you've tried these, it may ruin other cheese and bacon scrolls for you forever! Dad would absolutely LOVE two or three (they're addictive!) of these warm from the oven tomorrow f...or brunch (or they're great to pack for a picnic!) or bake a tray of them today because more bacon is never a bad thing! You can get my recipe over on the SBS Food website here: https://bit.ly/32MAncj and, Happy Father's Day to all the fabulous dad's out there tomorrow! #fathersdaygifts #fathersday #cheeseandbaconscrolls #ediblegifts #bacon #internationalbaconday #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baking #bakers #lovetobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #bakefromscratch #brunch #bakingrecipe

19.01.2022 BakeTip #128 STRAWBERRY SYRUP Strawberry season is in full swing at the moment here in Australia and they are super cheap. Making a strawberry syrup is a great way to take advantage of the glut and the full flavour of this in-season fruit, not to mention a fantastic way to add extra flavour (and moisture) to your sponges and buttercakes. I always use a ratio of 2 parts strawberries, 2 parts water and 1 part caster or granulated sugar by weight (for example: 500g strawberries,... 500g water, 250g sugar). To make, hull the strawberries, and chop. Transfer to a saucepan then cover with the water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until the strawberries are pale and soft and the water is pink. Strain the strawberries reserving the water. Discard the strawberries and transfer the water to a clean saucepan. Add the sugar and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes or until the syrup reaches the consistency and sweetness you want. Pour into clean jars or bottles, seal and place in the fridge where it will keep for up to 2 weeks. Use to brush or pour over your sponges or buttercakes before layering with fillings or making a trifle. Its also good made with the addition of a split vanilla bean or some strips of orange rind, or by adding a splash or orange liqueur before bottling! #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baketip #bakingtips #tiptuesday #tipoftheweek #baking #learntobake #bakinghack #makeitdelicious #bakersofinstagram #bakeandshare #thebakefeed #strawberryseason #strawberrysyrup #spongesyrup #buttercakesyrup #syrupforcake

19.01.2022 Do you really LOVE to bake? What if I told you, you could enjoy baking even more than you already do? When it comes to baking, the more knowledge you gain, the more relaxed you are and the more you rely on your instincts, rather than getting caught up in every step of your recipe. Understanding the science (the why and the how) behind baking opens up a whole other level of knowledge, confidence and enjoyment from baking that you may not have thought possible. Knowing exac...tly what to look for (and why) during each step of your recipe and being able to troubleshoot when something goes wrong, is the key to perfecting often tricky bakes, like these luscious Rosewater Pavlovas With Vanilla-Roasted Red Fruits & Toffee Pistachios and have fun doing it. My The Science of Baking Masterclass is a 2-hr crash course that will teach you the secrets to harnessing the power of science for greater success when you bake and, if youre keen to LOVE baking even more than you do now, you should join me! This face-to-face class will run on Sunday 27th September in the BakeClub kitchen in Rosebery.

18.01.2022 As a prolific podcast listener, I was thrilled to be recently asked by Lauren Keenan to have a chat on her podcast At Home with Lauren Keenan on why making Sourdough bread has become such a huge obsession for so many bakers during lockdown. If you happen to be one of those bread crazy bakers, or even if you watched enviously from the sidelines, you might like to take a listen to the podcast (here: https://bit.ly/3hOKnIA or find it in your favourite podcast app by searching ...At Home with Lauren Keenan) and get some insight into why you were drawn to such a tactile activity when the world around us is in such chaos some of the reasons may surprise you! If youre curious to know more, its an entertaining little listen over your morning cuppa. Enjoy your weekend!

18.01.2022 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Lemon Meringue Pie. Even though its English in origin, this delicious pie is so well-loved in the US that they actually declared a national day to celebrate it, and that day happens to be this Saturday! If youre a devotee of this classic dessert of mouth-puckering lemony custard, encased in sweet buttery pastry and crowned with a pillowy meringue topping, Im sure you dont need much of an excuse to bake one, but this is a really convincing one! And, wit...h lemons in plentiful, juicy supply at the moment (another great excuse!) and all of us in need of a little comfort, this pie is sure to bring a little bit of sunshine to your day!

18.01.2022 Do you sometimes find it almost impossible to settle on one particular recipe to bake, because you have too much choice?! In the digital age, it seems were constantly being bombarded with ever more exciting recipes to try, and choosing just one can become a real challenge! To make the whole process a bit easier (and more successful) for you, I have six questions that I always ask myself when choosing a new recipe. The questions are aimed at finding a recipe that is right for... you, taking into account how much time you have, your ingredients to hand and your skill level. Its a really simple idea, but I always think if you start by taking the time to think about what your baking goals are, you are much more likely to get the desired result and enjoy the process so much more! If you would like to know what the questions are, you can find them in my blog just click here: https://bit.ly/31pjULE to have a read! And, once youve read the questions, I would love to know, whats the next thing you are going to bake? Let me know in the comments below! P.S: If you need some inspiration, the recipe for this yummo Vanilla Slice is here: https://bit.ly/3grmOE6. #vanillaslice #bakethis #bakefeed #bakeblog #bakespiration #bakingrecipe #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baking #bakers #lovetobake #learntobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #bakefromscratch

15.01.2022 BakeTip #129 PRICK YOUR PASTRY BASE Before lining a pastry case and filling it with baking weights for it to be blind baked, always prick the base with a fork (about 12 times for a standard size case) to help any trapped steam between the pastry and the tin or dish to escape during baking this will prevent the pastry base bubbling and lifting away from the tin or dish which can take up valuable filling space! #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baketip #bakingtips #tiptuesday #tipoftheweek #baking #learntobake #bakinghack #makeitdelicious #bakersofinstagram #bakeandshare #thebakefeed #pastry #bakeschoolpastry #shortcrustpastry #blindbaking #tricksforpastrymaking #pastrymaking

13.01.2022 BakeTip #127 CREATING A CRISP BREAD CRUST There are many things that can affect how crisp a bread crust will turn out, but the most influential of them all is what is known as steamy heat. Steamy heat is created by adding water to a hot oven, which of course turns to steam. Why it is so effective in helping to create a crisp, crackling crust is because the moisture that sits on the surface of bread dough helps the enzymes break down the carbohydrates into sugar, and with th...e help of intense oven heat gives the crust a deep golden colour and crisp texture. Also, sprinkling water directly onto the surface of the bread dough, if the oven temperature is high enough, will also create small crisp bubbles on the surface (as it has on this loaf) adding to the crunch! #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baketip #bakingtips #tiptuesday #tipoftheweek #baking #learntobake #bakinghack #makeitdelicious #bakersofinstagram #bakeandshare #thebakefeed #sourdoughbaking #breadbaking #crispbreadcrust #breadmaking #breadbaking #breadlover #breadbosses #breadtalk

10.01.2022 Over the past couple of weeks here at BakeClub HQ, we have been busily organising next Sunday's graduation event for our current Make Me a Baker students. The process of putting together this wonderful afternoon tea always gets me giddy with excitement in anticipation for what the graduating students will create for their final bakes, to share with the family and friends they invite into the BakeClub kitchen to help celebrate. And, no matter how much I see them progress their... skills and confidence during the 6-month program, I am always stunned by the incredible recipes they produce at the end (like this jaw-dropping Black Forest Sponge made by past graduate Allen). Of course, I will be sharing all their impressive baking here in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep your eye out for that and if you would like to know a bit more about this unique baking program, you can find the details here: http://bit.ly/2x0GOJD. #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baking #makemeabaker #graduation #bakers #lovetobake #learntobake #bakingschool #bakingclass #bakingworkshop #bakespiration #blackforestcake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #kitchenaidausnz #queenfinefoods #smegaustralia #winningappliances #neff

Over the weekend is the perfect time to do some simple prep, and that way, you can whip up Monday night pizzas on a whim, or pull out a freshly baked tray of biscuits at a moments notice! If you would love to ...know more about how you can make your life easier by making better use of your freezer, I was recently interviewed by SBS Food on the best dough recipes and methods for freezing, and its now up on their website.

This week Ive had a fabulous question from Wendey @wenimav asking when does a pastry case need to be blind baked before the filling is added? #bakeclub #BakeClubAustralia #bakeclubqanda #baking #bakers #lovetobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #bakefromscratch #homebaking #bakersofinstagram #takeamoment #bakefeed #pastry #shortcrustpastry #bakeschoolschortcrust #blindbaking

07.01.2022 Q: Can you please give me some tips around what I should be looking for when my cakes are cooked and ready to be taken from the oven please? (Asked by a recent Cakes for Beginners online course student). A: Generally there are four main things that will indicate when your cake has finished baking and is ready to be taken from the oven. 1 Aroma the cake will have a toasty, nutty aroma and your kitchen will smell wonderful! 2 Colour the top of the cake will often be golde...n brown (unless the colour is dominated by an ingredient like chocolate or it contains little sugar). 3 A small gap cakes will often start to pull away from the side of the tin leaving a very small gap between the cake and the tin. 4 A clean skewer this is the most reliable sign that your cake is cooked. A thin metal skewer or bamboo skewer inserted into the centre of your cake should come out clean. Check by running it between your fingers (not just by looking at it). If it is sticky, bake it for another 5 minutes before testing again. Obviously, with cakes that are rich and fudgy (like flourless chocolate cakes or brownie-like ones) moist crumbs may still cling to the skewer when it is ready. #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #qanda #bakingquestions #bakingfoundations #baking #bakers #lovetobake #learntobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #caketins #cakebaking #caketips #cakesofinstagram #cakelover #cakelove #cakebaker #cakesforbeginners #whenismycakeready #cakehack

03.01.2022 WHAT IS CAKE FLOUR? Q: What is cake flour and is it available in Australia? A: Cake' flour is a low protein flour which usually contains about 7-8% protein (which you will find expressed as grams of protein per 100g flour in the nutritional panel on the packet). In comparison, regular plain flour contains around 10-11% protein while strong or bread flour contains around 12-15% protein. Why the protein content is important is that it's an indicator of how much gluten can ...be developed in the batter or dough and how strong the baked 'structure' will be. High protein = strong structure Low protein = weaker, softer structure High protein flour is used in bread bake where a strong structure is needed to effectively hold the carbon dioxide bubbles, while low protein flours are used when you want to achieve a more tender, softer crumb like in a sponge cake (and why it is called cake flour). It is available at selected supermarkets and specialty food stores, usually as a self-raising flour, but if you are unable to get hold of some you can make your own by reducing the protein content of regular plain flour by substituting some of it with cornflour (which is gluten protein-free). To make a homemade cake flour substitute: Measure 150g (1 cup) regular plain flour and then remove 2 tablespoons of it. Add 2 tablespoons cornflour and sift together before using. #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #qanda #bakingquestions #bakingfoundations #baking #bakers #lovetobake #learntobake #bakinglove #ilovebaking #bakingtime #instabake #cakeflour #cakebaking #proteininflour

02.01.2022 BakeTip #132 EVENLY SIZED BISCUITS When rolling biscuit dough into individual portions it is sometimes hard to get them all a similar size, especially if you have to team them up with a ‘partner’ when sandwiching them. There are two easy ways to do this: 1. Measure the total quantity of dough by weight and divide by the number of biscuits the recipe makes. Then weight each portion before you roll it. It does take a little longer, but your biscuits will be guaranteed to be the... same size. 2. Alternatively, use a teaspoon or tablespoon measure or a small ice cream scoop (depending on the size you are making) to scoop the mixture, level the surface with the back of a butter knife and then shape as required. You will also find the more biscuits you shape, the better you will get at recognising how a particular sized portion feels in the palm of your hands as you roll them. Therefore, once you have made a certain amount you will be able to portion the remaining dough just by feel. #bakeclub #bakeclubaustralia #baketip #bakingtips #tiptuesday #tipoftheweek #baking #learntobake #bakinghack #makeitdelicious #bakersofinstagram #bakeandshare #thebakefeed #meltingmoments #biscuitdough #evenlysizedbiscuits #butterbiscuits #yoyos

02.01.2022 We all know and LOVE sourdough bread, but did you know you can use your sourdough starter (and also your inactive discard) to bake lots of other delicious things, beyond the obvious crusty loaves?! Using your active starter or your discard (which you usually throw away) in any recipe, adds that same lovely subtle sourness you get in your bread, and a depth of flavour you can't otherwise achieve without it. If you're keen to extend your sourdough baking repertoire and try baki...ng some other yummy things (like this divine Blackberry Crumble Cake) I created a series of sourdough recipes in partnership with @sbsfood which are now available in my FREE 'Not Just Bread' eBook! Not only is packed with lots of super yummy recipes (you would never associate with sourdough!) but you will also find a really handy how-to guide for adapting any of your favourite recipes you already love!
