And the kitchen year was a a good year. Beside the fact that baking helps me to keep my feet on ground when the days are troublesome baking provides me many contacts I wouldn&#8217;t have otherwise.\u00a0 I met many new people on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2016\/01\/brotzeit-am-17-januar\/\">Brotzeit-Markt<\/a> in Berlin, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/tag\/schwarzmarkt\/\">Colgone black market<\/a>\u00a0 and in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/brotbackkurse\/\">Baking courses<\/a>. And staying in contact with you, my dear readers, is a precious thing for me. So I can not tell how much I value your comments and emails! Thank you very much for that!<\/p>\n<p>And now let me show you some of my favourite recipes. It was \u2013 once again \u2013 hard to pick only twelve. But a rule is a rule \u2013 even if its my own one. So here are my favourites of 2017:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One personal trend in 2017 was spelt. A favourite spot hast the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/09\/spelt-nut-fruit\/?noredirect=en_GB\">spelt, nut &amp; fruit<\/a> \u2013 an aromatic whole grain bread which is made similar to black bread, but without rye.<\/li>\n<li>My most beloved discovery of the year was the pysillium hulls which can replace a water roux and helps to bake moist rolls or breads. The first recipe among many that followed is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2017\/01\/luftikusse\/\">Luftikuss<\/a> roll recipe.<\/li>\n<li>A delicious left over recipe is the recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2017\/02\/rustikale-kartoffelbrtchen\/\">rustic potato rolls<\/a>. With some cracked grains, mashed potatoes and some egg yolk they are fluffy and hearty.<\/li>\n<li>2017 was the year of the black bread. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/02\/rheinisches-schwarzbrot\/\">Rheinische Schwarzbrot<\/a> based on the childhood memories of our grandmother and it is neither to dry nor to moist and already the declared family favourite.<\/li>\n<li>Square rolls were another personal blog trend. The\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/06\/spelt-squares\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Spelt Squares<\/a> are an delicious whole grain roll made with some poolish and yoghurt for flavour and moisture.<\/li>\n<li>During summer I baked several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/09\/sweet-buttermilk-bread\/\">Sweet Buttermilk Breads<\/a>, some with nuts and apricots, some with raisins and some pure. Whenever I bake a bread several times in a row it is a serious hint on how much I loved it!<\/li>\n<li>I baked several breads based on regional recipes. I fell especially in love with one recipe: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/05\/salzweck\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Salzweck<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Another discovery was the fact that a nearby museum has a wood fired oven in which one can bake bread once the month. One of the breads I baked there in last months was this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/08\/spelt-potato-bread\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Spelt Potatoe Bread<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A good bread needs a good spread. And so I spent the winter month tweaking a recipe until I had the perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/05\/velvety-orange-marmalade\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Orange marmalade<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/04\/das-urige\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Urige<\/a> was created after a readers description. It is a beautiful and tasty bread and I\u2019m always thankful for these kind of reader questions!.<\/li>\n<li>A leftover Bread is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/10\/bakes-bread\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Backes Bread<\/a>, too: a bit of quark and potato as well as some emmer make a nutty flavoured bread. And baked as twin bread it is perfect to be shared with family and friends.,<\/li>\n<li>Last but not least was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/04\/pretzel-burger-buns\/?noredirect=en_GB\">recipe<\/a> that combined our love of lye rolls and burger. The mixture of hearty lye roll flavour and slighty-sweet and fluffy burger roll is great and matches well with beef or vegetarian patties.The perfect slow fast food<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This was the year 2017 here at \u201cHefe und mehr\u201d. I would like to thank all my readers for your visits, your nice comments and emails. These feedbacks are always so motivating for me! I hope, you will come back next year and if you find the time to drop a comment every now and then I\u2019m even more happy!
