INSTRUCTIONS

Pasta rice salad
  1. Cook the pasta rice according to the package instructions. Strain and drizzle with the olive oil so that the rice doesn’t stick.
  2. Add the crème fraich and mushrooms and season to taste.
  3. Mix thought and serve with the bacon, parmesan, and parsley.
    Olive Ciabatta
    1. Place the flour, Southern Coating, yeast, salt, sugar and olives in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
    2. At a slow speed, add the olive oil and 3/4 of the water.
    3. Once combined, increase the speed and mix the dough until everything sticks to the paddle. You might need to add more water for that to happen. The dough shouldn’t be too thick.
    4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and leave to rise for at least 30-45 minutes.
    5. Pour the dough out on a floured surface.
    6. Cut into 2 loafs of bread and tuck in the edges so that it forms a long loaf.
    7. Bake for 30-45 minutes on a 220-degree Celsius oven or until cooked and golden brown.
    Ice cream sandwiches
    1. Spread the prepared vanilla muffin mix on a prepared baking sheet and bake on 180 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. Cool down.
    2. Soften some ice cream and keep aside.
    3. Using some ring moulds, place a disc of cake on the bottom and top with the ice cream.
    4. Place another disc of cake on the top and press together.
    5. Place in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight.
