Just back from Singapore and already craving savoury asian delights. Decided to a version of these pepper buns, which I first tried in Taipei. They make these in a huge charcoal oven on the streets, and the peppery filling paired with the flaky crust is unbelievable.

The traditional filling is meat-based, but here I decided to use a stewed mushroom filling.

Pecan panettone

I recently received a 25 Kg bag of Pasini Millebolle panettone flour, and this was the first test. The panettone is a simple variation on my usual formula, meant to evoke a Danish pastry with pecan and apple. I added cardamom in addition to vanilla bean, plus a variety of inclusions totaling approximately the weight of flour in the recipe.

A Chai Blackberry pie.  A bit rough around the edges but better than I usually do.  Tasting still to come.

Plates of hamantaschen. Thicker looking gluten-free ones at the back and smaller yeasted ones in front

Trying to beat Ilya who always has an interesting post of his lovely hamantaschen every year. 

The ones at the back are gluten free (almond and tapioca) whilst those at the front are more traditional and have a yeasted dough made with cake flour and a little bit of lemon zest from a Ukranian recipe.
