Homemade air-fryer Pizza recipe that you can make at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s an air-fryer pizza recipe that you can make at home by starting off with 1/4 teaspoon of nutritional yeast as well as close to 1/4 cup of warm water & 1/4 teaspoons of sugar onto a bowl.

Mix them well and cover the yeast for a while between 30 mins-1 hour, then add 1/2 cup of flour (and continue to add a few teaspoons to it as long as it’s no longer sticky), 1/2 teaspoons of oil and some salt on top of the activated yeast by kneading it for a few minutes before you coat the pizza dough with another few drops of oil and cover it again up to one hour in order for this to rise. After that, you can shape the dough up using your hands to fit around the pizza tray size of your choice at home including the circle edges with some sprinkles of flour.

Now it’s time for the cooking process to begin and in order for the pizza crust to taste really good on both sides is you first cook it without any sauce and toppings alongside some oil at 185 degrees celsius for the first five minutes and then flip it over by coating the other side with oil to cook the bottom part for the other five minutes. Once you can see some crispiness on both sides of the crust, you can then add your pizza sauce alongside a variety of toppings (make sure you don’t overload it though) and put it back for another 10-12 minutes depending on how thick the crust is (eg. Thin or deep pan).

And that is it after letting the pizza cool for a while before cutting a few slices where you can see some nice good edges & a middle that makes a homemade pizza so good!! You can have it for lunch and if you want to have another pizza the next day, all you have to do is cut the dough in half before you save it into the fridge by covering it up with a plastic wrap and when you’re ready, repeat the above same process & your pizza will still be delicious to eat without having to order one elsewhere!!

Dairy-Free Doughnuts recipe to make onto an air-fryer at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s a delicious homemade recipe that you can make at home in none other than air-fryer doughnuts that can serve up to four people, dairy & egg free and also without the need of a cutter too.

First of all, put 3/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast along with 1 tablespoon of warm water onto a bowl before you mix it up and cover it up for a while like 30 mins-1 hour. Then add 1 cup of flour as well as a 1/4 cup of warm rice milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 egg replacer, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or any type of oil you like & 3-4 teaspoons of sugar in order to form a dough that is coated by a few drops of oil. Repeat the same resting period of an hour to let the dough rise as you cut up into four pieces using a knife & roll it out after the 2nd resting process. From there, you can poke out a hole in the middle using your finger before you press it back onto the cutted dough while shaping out the perfect round circle shape of a doughnut. Once that is done, rest & cover these raw shaped doughnuts up one more time for 30 mins-1 hour before it’s cooking time.

You can fry it on a pan or put it in the oven but it’s best to place two doughnuts a time onto the air fryer and repeat the process same again for the last two at 180 degrees Celsius for 8-9 minutes. And once you cool these off for a while as long as you don’t eat it that hot, these homemade dairy-free doughnuts are ready to eat!! It’s so easy to make if these ready-made doughnuts off the supermarkets or the food courts aren’t for you and to make it extra yummy, you can top these up with chocolate spread or other coloured icing with sprinkles on it. Perfect snack to eat on an occasional day during the week!!

Dairy free Sweet William Chocolate Chunk Cookie air fryer recipe to make at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s some fresh, soft, sweet & dairy-free chocolate chunk cookies that I’ve made earlier this week at home. 

The following ingredients you need are:

Wet

* 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil & other 2 tablespoons of apple sauce

* 1 whole egg replacer (by mixing 1 teaspoon of Orgran no egg product + 2 tablespoons of water)

* 1/4 cup of raw brown sugar

*  2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

* 3 x 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Dry

* 1/2 cup of wholemeal flour

* 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

* Sprinkle 3-4 times with a bit of salt

* 1/3 cup of chopped Sweet William Vegan Mylk dairy-free chocolate block 

Start with mixing the wet and dry ingredients separately before you integrate them into the one bowl by mixing it again gently this time (using a spatula) until just combined. Then you can chuck in some chopped dairy-free chocolate blocks & mix it (gently again) for another 3-4 times, as you air-tight the cookie dough into the freezer with a plastic wrap for at least an hour or two.

Take the cookie dough out of the freezer after the resting stage by scooping one tablespoon each of cookie dough (serves a total of four cookies) into the baking tray (make sure you line it up with baking paper), while pre-heating the air fryer at 180 degrees Celsius for 4-5 minutes. 

Once that is done, place the baking tray onto the air fryer by lowering the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius for 12-14 mins before cooling it down for another 5-10 minutes & now it’s ready to eat. 

All in all, If you’re unable to find these dairy-free cookies that are ready-made at your local grocery store unless you’re willing to pay online elsewhere with some extra shipping costs, then this is the recipe for you.

Woolworths Vanilla/Chocolate Cake Mix Recipe to bake at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s a quick and easy way you can make that only costs a couple of dollars at home – it’s called the Woolworths Essentials (a well-known Australian supermarket brand) Vanilla/Chocolate cake mix – where you can buy it off your local grocery store at only $0.90 per pack.

All you have to do is follow the recipe procedure by mixing the dry and wet ingredients (do it gently with a spatula if you don’t have a hand/stand mixer & don’t mix it too much), and you’re good to go when placing it onto the pre-heated oven (make sure you pre-heat for five minutes at 180 degrees celsius prior to cooking) at 180-185 degrees Celsius.

Plus, don’t forget to smudge some oil around your cake tin beforehand (mine is a 7-inch version by the way from Bakemaster which fits the whole packet of 340 grams & you can buy it off Amazon here) while placing baking paper on the bottom of the pan when pouring the cake batter.

Depending on the time, cooking on an air fryer would be about 30 minutes while an oven would take you 40-45 minutes before completely cooling it down for a while, then you can do whatever you want with the cake by putting some frosting on top as it’s now all yours to eat. 

Also, if you are on a dairy-free or plant-based diet, you can substitute 2/3 cup (160mL) of full cream milk with water or rice milk, as well as about 1/4 cup (50g) of apple sauce or make 2 egg replacer mixes rather than 2 eggs & three tablespoons (60g) of Maple Syrup or coconut oil instead of some butter.

Apple Pie recipe to make at home

by Sports Benches

I wanted to make a homemade version of McDonald’s apple pie and it ended up tasting better than their pies. Here is the recipe for a serving of four.

As always, you can either use the ready-made pastry from the supermarkets if you’re not allergic to dairy or else look at my Avocado Oil pastry recipe here that is dairy-free. If you want to know how the homemade pastry is done, all you have to do is mix 1/3 cup of avocado oil, 2 cups of flour, some sprinkles of salt and sugar and mix it up together to make sure it doesn’t end up being dry & crumbly (you don’t want a collapsible pastry in there) by adding a few teaspoons at a time with rice milk or water – make sure you rest that homemade pastry dough once it’s done for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

While you’re waiting, it’s time to make the sauce of your homemade Apple Pie recipe that goes inside the foldable avocado oil pastry crust. I first peeled off the skin of a whole apple (doesn’t matter which size) before chopping them into small squares & put it onto a small saucepan filled with water where you will boil them in a low-medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Once the apples are soft after some time, put them onto a small bowl with a skimmer utensil while draining the boiled water from the saucepan away in a kitchen sink. Then mix some 1-2 teaspoons of corn starch & some lemon in a saucepan until there’s no lumps on the corn starch before heating it up again (low-medium setting) for another 2-3 minutes. After that, add the boiled apples onto the saucepan again and mix it up together with the sauce by turning off the heat where you now got your Apple Pie filling ready to go.

Now that the apple pie filling is ready alongside the rested pastry after an hour, roll the pastry dough to a decent thin size on your work bench before you add the apple filling in and fold the pastry dough by sealing it nice and tight where you will be placing it on a sausage roll maker machine for 30 minutes by flipping it over at the halfway cooking process. Once the pastry is nice and golden, cool these apple pies down for another 10 minutes so you don’t get a burnt tongue and they’re all ready to eat – how good!!

See it for yourself when you can go make your own McDonald’s style apple pie recipe that is dairy-free & delicious to eat at home.
