Another week, another cooking session from home!
Over the past few months, in 2020, we have been cooking outside in the garden using the barbeque. Well this week we are very happy to cook in a cosy environment! A warm meal was needed! As usual, thank you so much for sharing your creations.

- Lift the dough circles onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
