Pizza is one of my weaknesses and I love a good one. The chipper in Blarney makes a wicked one but now and then it is nice to make your own. You have to plan it as the dough needs a bit time to rise – just like bread but the result is worth the…
DetailsI took a break yesterday but today is our last day of Sweet Week – my waistline seems to be relieved. I went through my larder and found a pack of semolina…I can hear you, but trust me this recipe is really nice and when it is finished, you won’t believe it is semolina…trust me…
