Bake With Paul
Hollywood shared three recipes fromBake for AARP members to try.
Victoria Sandwich
If youre new to baking, this should be your very first cake.
If you get it right, everything else will be easy.
Chocolate Brownies
Even if I say so myself, these are the best brownies youll ever taste.
To a novice baker, real-life baking might feel just as chaotic, but it doesnt have to be.
Gave me plenty of time to get the book together.
Adding your own touches might sound daunting at first, but they dont have to be.
Using citrus in a recipe?
Use more of that particular fruit, or add an additional citrus to go with it.
So if youre already using lime juice and zest, go ahead and use some orange too.
So you end up with something thats the same, but a little bit different, he notes.
We would be working with 50-kilo mixes, 60-kilo mixes, and youre thinking,These are big mixes.
These are big mixing bowls, he says, laughing.
I bake bread for sandwiches at home, and toast in the morning.
And then Ill make focaccia probably at least once a month, sourdough probably once every 10 days.
Ill slice them and pop them in the freezer, he says.
Scones, Ill make once a month.
So I do bake quite a lot at home, to be honest.
The book also, unsurprisingly, highlights plenty of British recipes that may delight American readers.
If youre feeling indulgent, feel free to add whipped cream or buttercream, Hollywood says.
Hes especially excited about the release of this cookbook, though.
And dont worry about what he might say about your cake this isnt a contest, after all.
