1 cup flour
1 T Woolworths garlic-and-herb seasoning
1 t dried thyme
2 t Woolworths chermoula spice
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 kg oxtail, cut into pieces
2 T canola oil
1 T butter
125 g bacon, cut into pieces
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or crushed
1 green pepper, cored and diced
4 leeks, rinsed and finely chopped
6 T tomato paste
4 cups beef stock (or enough to cover)
For the dumplings:
270 g flour
50 g bran
3½ t baking powder
½ t salt
2 t sugar
2 T butter
¾ cup milk

Cooking Instructions
Mix the flour with the garlic-and-herb seasoning, thyme, chermoula and seasoning. Toss the oxtail in the seasoned flour until well coated. Heat the oil and butter in a pan and seal the meat until slightly golden. Add the bacon and cook for 2 minutes over a high heat to render some of its fat, stirring continually.
Add the onion, garlic, green pepper and leeks and cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly soft. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes. Cover with beef stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1½ hours, or until soft. The gravy should also have thickened.
To make the dumplings, mix the dry ingredients together, then rub in the butter. Add the milk and knead to form a dough. Divide into 8–10 portions and shape into balls. Drop the dumplings into the oxtail, cover and cook over a low heat for 10–15 minutes. Serve with your choice of vegetables.

Today I would like to share with you a recipe for fruit mousse with a hint of coconut. You should serve it strongly chilled. It is perfectly refreshing and supplements the micro-elements which we lose when it is hot. The sweetness of the dessert hinges on the degree of ripeness of the fruit. If you don’t have perfectly ripe, juicy fruit, you may add a bit of honey or maple syrup.

Ingredients (for 4 people):
1 big mango
1 pineapple
400g of coconut milk
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
honey or maple syrup
fruit for decoration

Clean and peel the fruit. Blend the pineapple and mango with the coconut milk and lemon juice. Add honey or maple syrup if necessary. Cool it down in the fridge for at least an hour. Decorate with the fruit before serving.

To get the best results in baking, the pans should be placed so that the air in the oven will circulate freely around them. If they are so placed that the loaves touch each other or the sides of the oven, the loaves will rise unevenly and consequently will be unsightly in shape, like those shown in photo.
If the loaves rise higher on one side than on the other, even when the pans are properly placed, it is evident that the heat is greater in that place than in the other parts of the oven and the loaves should therefore be changed to another position. Proper care given to bread while baking will produce loaves that are an even brown on the bottom, sides, and top and that shrink from the sides of the pan.
Tips van Paul Hollywood:

*****The crust has broken away from the loaf:
-If the bread has a ‘flying top’ where the top crust breaks away from the loaf then you have most likely under proved it.

*****I’ve dough developed a skin after I left it to prove:
-Do not leave your dough uncovered when proving as it can cause the dough to develop a crust.

*****The crust has split at the side of the loaf:
-If the crust splits at one side of the loaf then you may have baked the loaf too close to the side of the oven.

*****My loaf has a flat top:
-If the loaf has a flat top then you may have used flour which is too weak. Always use strong bread making flour. Other potential reasons for this problem could be that too little salt was used, the dough was too wet or that the dough was poorly shaped.

*****The surface cracked after I took it out from the oven:
-If the crust surface cracks after removal from the oven then you could have over-proved the dough, the oven could have been too hot or the bread could have cooled in a draft.

*****The dough collapsed when I put it in the oven:
-If the dough collapses when you put it into the oven then it is likely that the dough was over-proved.

*****My bread is like a brick – it has a dense, heavy texture:
-If the bread has a heavy, close texture and hasn’t risen very well then there are a number of reasons for this. The flour could have too low a protein content, there could be too much salt in the bread recipe, you did not knead it or leave it to prove for long enough or you could have killed the yeast by leaving the dough to rise in a place that was too hot.

*****My bread has a course, open texture:
-If the bread has a coarse, open texture then the dough could have been too wet, over-proved or the oven temperature was not high enough.

*****My bread is holey:
-If the bread has an uneven texture with large holes then the dough might not have been knocked back properly ,which could potentially leave large air bubbles, or the dough could have been left uncovered during rising.

*****My bread tastes sour and yeasty:
-If your bread has a sour, yeasty flavour and smells of alcohol then you have either used too much yeast.or you may have use stale yeast or creamed fresh yeast with sugar.

*****My bread goes stale very quickly:
-If your bread stales quickly and is crumbly then you may have used too much yeast, the flour may not have the correct protein content or the length of time that you left the dough to prove for was either too long or too short.
