Imitation: No-Knead-Bread - Or: Me and the Trends

I admit, I'm an absolute late bloomer in cooking trends.

Except maybe for cupcakes, I got there early.
Otherwise I usually do what I feel like and search my dishes myself. Often, following trends is not mine, and I'd rather do something on my own.

Great, unobtrusive design, brilliant photos and unusual and special recipes. I like to use them as a suggestion, as for example for the Mediterranean vegetable menu.
Gaaanz at the beginning, when her blog was still young, there was an entry from Simone to the No-Knead-Bread. She was not the first, but her photo and her great description have so addressed me, that I had to bake exactly this bread. And what can I say, Simone, this time I really stuck to your instructions!
That's why there is no recipe from me today - Simone's recipe is great!
Das goes really well and tastes great. I have served it with antipasti and eaten roasted with salt butter. Just yummy!

It's not that I have not baked bread so far - on the contrary! I love the two Bertinet books and had a sourdough in the fridge for a long time. I've got a bunch of soda baskets and a jade brick with bullet boards and I've tried a lot of bread.
I just do not know anything like this fast-moving bread that can handle so little yeast ...
And what a pity that I have noticed this trend so late again. For that, I'm taking full advantage of it, even though it might be out for others.

British Tea Time: scones
Preview

When I was in London for business last week, a typical British Tea Time was not missing. And so I sat on a sunny Sunday with two colleagues in the beautiful garden of a great hotel in Kensington and enjoyed the 5 o'clock tea time with freshly baked, fragrant scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam and a pot of tea. Gorgeous! I've always thought of scones as a boring pastry and wondered about the var...

The standard cake recipe has been in my family for years. Once the strawberry season starts, there will be no stopping and every family reunion will have the same cake. And no, that's anything but boring, just because this cake is so incredibly delicious. My grandmother bakes an original Hot Milk Sponge Cake on the plate as a basis. The cake is absolutely delicious, but the icing on the cake is a ...
