For this month's Eggless Baking Group, Priya suggested this Julekake which is a Norwegian Christmas Bread. This bread has some interesting ingredients which looked so much Indian to me from the Candied Citron to the cardamom powder. I could not do this bread as soon as it was announced as I wanted to lay my hands on the candied citron. Now citron is nothing but our very own naarthangai which is quite popular for pickles and pachadi in Tamil Nadu. Then I wanted to use Candied orange and to my surprise, I could not find that too.. So I finally used dried Cranberries which also has a tart flavor like the naarthangai. The resulted bread was awesome!!! We loved it texture and the taste.. It was quite soft and so flavorful!!

Eggless Cinnamon Swirl Bread–with stepwise pictures
Cinnamon is such a good ingredient and is therapeutic when used in baking.. The entire house smells the cinnamon flavor and feels quite soothing.. When Gayathri announced “Cinnamon Swirl Bread” for this month’s eggless baking challenge, I immediately did it.. I did not use the recipe Gayathri suggested but used the recipe from here and loved it.. I got one loaf from the below recipe. You could double the quantity and make 2. Also the original recipe had egg which I replaced.

The Greek Politiko Simiti / Koulouri - My 400th post
Yayy!!! My 400th post!!! Thanks to all who have supported me and looking forward for the same in future... So to today's recipe - Simiti is the breakfast bread served in many places in Greek. These simiti are the breakfast choice of the Athenians.. These are irresistible... From Little Expat Kitchen – “The Greek word simiti/σιμίτι (plural: simitia/σιμίτια), comes from the Turkish word simit, which comes from the Arabic word semid, which in turn comes from the ancient Greek word semidalis/σεμίδαλις (simigdali/σιμιγδάλι in modern Greek), meaning semolina”. We loved the texture of the bread and also the flavor the sesame seeds and the grape syrup!! I have never heard of this bread before until Gayathri announced this as a challenge for this month's Eggless Baking Group from here.. It was sure a great learning and so excited that I tried it!!

Eggless Crème Brûlée - Vegetarian Crème Brûlée
Crème Brûlée is a popular French Dessert made with custard as base and a hard caramel on top. This is a very interesting dessert that can be made quickly (although it needs time for refrigeration) .. With hard crust and soft little gooey inner, it is surely a winner of hearts.. For this month’s Eggless Baking group, Gayathri chose Crème Brûlée and I chose this one from here.

Eggless Donuts–Deep Fried
Many foods make us drool and only a few recipes are drool worthy while they are being made. Visiting donut factory where you can see the donuts being shaped, proofed, coming in line to get deep fried and turn beautifully golden and then jump into the silky sugar syrup is a treat to watch. And the best part of you getting to choose from the fresh hot ones – awwww that is so out of the world.. Warm and delicious donuts in hand.. So how much tastier will it be when you can do this factory at home… The answer is – even more exciting and even more delicious.. For this month’s Eggless baking group, Gayathri has chosen Donuts suggested by Jayanthi and here is a sinfully delicious delicacy This recipe will give around 12 donuts.

"Perfectly Chocolate" Eggless Chocolate Cake
I get excited to do cakes and cakes that call for very little fat. This is a delicious chocolate cake with no butter and no eggs.. Gayathri chose this delicious and very famous Hershey’s chocolate cake for this month’s Eggless Baking Group. It is a very easy cake to do. I halved the recipe and got a 9 inch round single layer cake. It is very interesting and new to me of adding boiling water to the cake batter and I searched the internet as to how that helps. Here are some of the answers I got – from webfoodpros – “ Cocoa powder consists of a small amount of cocoa butter and the boiling water helps separate the cocoa butter out of the cocoa mass and emulsify it into the batter.“ Kingarthur’s website says - “boiling water added to cocoa will help bloom the chocolate and impart more flavor“. The cake was very moist and very delicate and I was so happy with the intense chocolate flavor. The next time I do this, I would do lesser sugar

Croissant
A very delicious French pastry which is very famous for its difficulty in doing. It is not common in household for people to bake croissants (even in Paris) is what I have heard unless they join some fun group like us "We Knead to Bake" which was started by Aparna. I was very intimidated by this croissants for a few years and now because of this group, I made it. I have previously watched Julia Child's show where she demonstrates Croissant. I have also seen it on Americas Test Kitchen and Croissants have been on my To-do for quite long now... Finally got to make it!!!!! Am so happy and so thrilled that I could make it at home and I can call it successfully!! A perfect croissant should be soft inside and very flaky outside and I got it!!!! yayyyyy!!!! I have some points to note and some tips that I learned along the way!!!!

Granola Bar - v2
Granola is a breakfast food and snack food consisting of various nuts, dried fruits, some sweetener and rolled oats. I have never heard of Granola in India or it is known by some other name. First time I heard of it was when my colleagues in the US used it for Lunch.. Looked like big bar and all that they would do is unwrap it and eat it with some milk or juice and call it done… Will look so cool.. And then I went to the shops to search for it and there were too many choices but hey they were also expensive.. I was watching my favorite Alton Brown show (and his Book) and saw him do this and could not delay doing it… I have tried this a few times and all of them were so delicious and so healthy

Eggless Drømmekage fra Brovst / Eggless Danish Dream Cake
A cake with a difference is the first opinion I had when I saw this cake announced by Gayathri for this month's Eggless Baking Group Challenge. This was suggested by Meena. It is not easy to substitute recipes that have 4 eggs, but I got ideas from Archana. The cake needs to be done in steps and finally an assemble needs to be done. Do not forget to make the topping as the first step as it is very important to add it immediately once the cake is baked. You need to use a 9 inch square pan for this recipe. The original recipe is from here and followed it exactly except for substituting the eggs. This cake is from the Brovst region of Denmark.
