  2. Sour Cream And Bacon Deviled Eggs

  

  Deviled eggs are a hit for every occasion. Great for snacking and very filling. They are called deviled eggs because they are not prepared the normal way.

  Ingredients

  [*] 12 large eggs [*] ½ cup full-fat sour cream [*] 1- 2 tsps of dijon mustard [*] ½ tsp kosher salt [*] ¼ - ½ tsp of crushed garlic [*] 3 - 4 strips of bacon [*] 1 ½ tbsp chives [*] Ground Paprika to taste

Method

1. Fill the pot with water just enough to cover the eggs. If you are using a steaming basket, let the water boil and place your basket inside the pot with 6 eggs. Steam over medium heat for about 10 - 15 minutes.
2. Once eggs are done, place them in ice-cold water to cool down.
3. Once cooled, peel eggs and cut them in half. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl.
4. Use a fork to smash the yolk, and add sour cream, mustard, garlic, and salt. Mix until smooth texture and desired seasoning.
5. Fry the bacon for 5 minutes or until crispy. Once cooled chop it up into small pieces.
6. Fill a zip lock bag with the egg mixture and snip the corner a bit. Pipe the mixture into the egg whites. If you don’t have a piping bag, scoop out the mixture into the egg whites.

3. Garlic Knots

These are like mini pizza snacks just more delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

• 1 packet of dry instant yeast
• 1 tsp of sugar
• ⅞ cup warm water (40 - 50 degrees)
• 300g flour plus extra for dusting
• 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp of olive oil and more for greasing the baking tray

Garlic Butter Coating

• 5 tbsp of unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup parsley minced or dry parsley
• 1 tsp salt

Method

1. Stir the dry yeast and sugar in the warm water bowl and leave to proof for 3 - 5 minutes. Side note: ‘If yeast bubbles up it means it’s active, If it doesn’t then you need to use a new packet. Check the expiry date.’ - Nontozakhe Raphadu, Baker
2. In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and yeast mixture. Mix until soft and knead for 5 - 10 minutes. If the dough is too dry, add a tsp of water until the desired consistency.
3. Cover the kneaded dough with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 90 minutes or until it has doubled in size. If you are not in a hurry, you can leave it in the fridge overnight.
4. Once proofed, cut dough into 4 equal parts. Use 2 set trays to place your dough in and work it until it is 10 x 12 cm rectangles. Cut One rectangle into 2 x 12cm, so you should have 4 equal pieces from one rectangle. Then cut the 4 strips in half and you should now have 8 strips of 2 x 6cm.
5. Start forming the knots. Stretch out the 2 x 6cm pieces into sticks and tie a knot.
6. Brush dough knots with olive oil and leave the dough to rise for 90 mins to 3 hours.
7. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Once heated place the baking tray in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes or until brown.

10. Once knots are done baking in the oven, take them out and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, glaze with the garlic and parsley butter. Serve to your guests.
