No bread is an island

...entire of itself. (With apologies to John Donne!)
I live and breathe breadmaking. I’m an evangelist who would like everyone to make his or her own bread. I want to demystify breadmaking and show it as the easy everyday craft that it is. To this end I endeavour to make my recipes as simple and as foolproof as I possibly can.

I call my blog 'No bread is an island' because every bread is connected to another bread. So a spicy fruit bun with a cross on top is a hot cross bun. This fruit dough will also make a fruit loaf - or Chelsea buns or a Swedish tea ring...
I'm also a vegan, so I have lots of vegan recipes on here - and I'm adding more all the time.

3 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES - IN FRYPAN (VEGAN)

 INGREDIENTS:
200g peanut butter
75g wholemeal flour (or oat flour)
75g maple syrup - or blackstrap molasses for the healthiest option

METHOD:
Before you start put your frying pan on to a low heat.
Then combine the peanut butter with the syrup or molasses, and add the flour.
Mix into a ball and knead (flatten and fold) for a minute or two, until you have a cohesive ball.
Divide into 16 or 20 pieces.
Flatten each piece into a rough circle, by pressing the piece into the palm of one hand, using the heel of the other hand.
Gently press down on each piece with the back of a dessertspoon to flatten it somewhat.
Place in the frying pan and put the timer on for 3 minutes.
Turn them once - another 3 minutes, then take them out and put them on a cooling rack. They still feel fairly soft at this stage, but it doesn't take long before they crisp up.

VARIATION:
At the assembly stage, add a handful of sultanas - about 30-40g.
