Finnish carrot bread rolls stacked on a wooden chopping board, one roll buttered

Carrot Bread Rolls

Freshly baked bread, how good is that!? I know bread making is notoriously difficult, but I don’t quite understand why. Making sourdough is a different story, but bread rolls in particular are rather easy to make, I promise! And you don’t need any fancy equipment for this recipe, just a little bit of kneading with your hands to bring the dough together. So without further ado, let me introduce you to one of my favourite types of bread: Carrot Bread Rolls (Porkkanasämpylät in Finnish). Carrot works so nicely in a bread, the flavour it adds is very subtle but it gives the bread a bit of sweetness – and of course some vitamins, which is a bonus! Also, these bread rolls freeze extremely well 🙂

Spinach oven pancake slices stacked on a plate with a side of lingonberry jam in a small ramekin

Spinach Oven Pancake

This Finnish style king-size Spinach Pancake is cooked in the oven! Overall it takes a bit longer to make than regular pancakes, but the hands-on time is minimal: you simply mix the batter, let it rest for a bit whilst you defrost the spinach, and pop in the oven for half an hour… voilà! The Spinach Oven Pancake makes a perfect snack, and it can be eaten both hot or cold. And thanks to spinach, it has loads of nutrients too – in fact, it’s pretty healthy!

Bird's eye view of round mini pavlova on a grey plate

Pavlova

Pavlova is a beautiful gluten-free dessert with the most amazing texture: it’s crispy on the outside, soft, gooey and marshmallowy in the middle. It is a dessert that screams summer, but why not make it when the weather is dark and gloomy? Swap the fresh berries for your favourite fruit, get together with your friends and beat those winter blues! You can use this recipe to make individual mini pavlovas or one big one, your call.
