NEW LOOK AND A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING WITH YEAST DOUGH

Since I made some radical changes in my life, I decided to change the look of my blog too. Change is good and so is life :-D

I love to work with yeast dough. It is amazing watching it huff and puff and then you can create the most wonderful things, sweet or savory, creativity is the clue! Every one has probably their own favorite recipe for yeast dough that came from granny or aunt or mother or sister (those recipes are the most valuable to me), so I won't share the recipe, I would just like to share some photos of my latest yest adventures.
Just one more thing: I always wondered why the pizza dough in the restaurants is so elastic and stretchable and I was truly shocked when I discovered that the big secret is a tiny addition of white vinegar to the dough!

MINT TOPS

Those who read my post about Friday date night saw these cookies. Now it is time to post the recipe. These are delicious, melt in your mouth kind of cookies. The recipe is really simple and I love the dough because it resembles play dough. If you wanna have some fun with kids in the kitchen the possibilities with this dough are endless: color it as you like, let your kids set their imagination free, and bake the sweet creations to show off and indulge!
