Mini Cornbread Muffins

Everyones favorite muffins, so easy to make, and very lovely looking for serving at any occasion. It’a a great snack for work, frends gathering or to bring for a picnic…

This is my basic recipe, and if desired you can add varios additives in the dough, for example cheese, dried tomatoes, ham, beef jerkey or any dried meat, and whatever comes to your mind. Since I like sesame with almost every muffin recipe, I added that on top, and muffins looked great.

Soft Beer Pretzels With Sesame

Soft Beer Pretzels With Sesame

The other day I needed to bring some snacks for friends gathering. Instead of buying all sort of salty and sweet snacks from the store I decided to make salty pretzels with sesame. I was in need of a recipe where the dough doesn’t take hours to rise. So I combined recipes that I found on a web, into this one. The pretzels were a hit and everyone liked freshly baked pretzels. I shaped smaller size pretzels, so it turned out to be enough for everybody.

Also to make pretzels even more mouth-watering grease them with mixture of salt and soft butter. Make sure that the mixture is thick and grease it with spoon. This is a nice snack recipe that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

·         Light beer 200ml /0.8 cup/

·         Oil 200ml /0.8 cup/

·         White flour 4 cups

·         1 tablespoon salt

·         1 tablespoon sesame

·         1 baking powder /2 teaspoons/

·         1 egg

·         1 dry active yeast 7g /0.2 oz/

Directions:

1.    Combine in a large bowl beer, oil, yeast and baking powder.

2.    Mix all and add sesame, salt and pour flour. Knead the dough for few minutes until it becomes smooth and doesn’t stick to the bowl.

3.    Do not rise the dough. Stretch it, and with a sharp knife cut the dough into stripes 1 cm /0.3 inches/ wide. Take the stripes and form into pretzels.

4.    Take a large greased baking sheet and place pretzels.

5.    Lightly beat 1 egg and brush on pretzels.

6.    Bake pretzels in the oven at 175 degree C /350 F/.
