#ad This fluffy tsoureki will make you a bit more happy this Easter! 🐣
You can get everything you need to make it at @alphamegacy
Ingredients
For the starter:
40 gr. “Ellinon Staxi” tsoureki flour
60 ml warm milk (not hot)
4 g (1 tsp) yeast
1 tsp sugar
Main dough:
270 gr. “Ellinon Staxi” tsoureki flour
70 gr. sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
40 ml milk (room temperature)
50gr butter (softened)
1/2 tsp salt
zest of 1 orange
1/2 tsp mahlepi
a pinch of masticha
flaked almonds (to top)
eggwash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp of milk to brush the tsoureki
Steps:
Mix all the ingredients for the starter in a large bowl and wait 15 minutes for the yeast to activate. Add all the main dough ingredients except the butter, mix well and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is firm but smooth. Begin adding the butter gradually in the dough, piece by piece, mixing in between. The dough will gradually become smoother and lighter. Place the dough in a bowl and cover, leaving it to rise for about 1-2 hours depending on the temperature. The dough should rise about 75%, not double. Once the dough is ready divide it into 3 equal pieces and create three strands. Braid them and place the tsoureki in a pan lined with baking paper. Cover and leave it to rest for another 60’ or until the tsoureki appears more fluffy and light. Brush with the eggwash and sprinkle with the flaked almonds, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 28-30 minutes and enjoy!

We tried the famous Stolen Cheesecake from Friends, we give it a 10/10 and... we would also totally eat this off the floor 🤭
Which is your favorite recipe from Friends?
(serves 12)
200g Digestive biscuits
100g butter, melted
900g full fat cream cheese
225g caster sugar
200 ml sour cream
2 tbsp cornflour
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
To make the cheesecake, crush the biscuits in a food processor or simply add them to a sandwich bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Mix the biscuits with the melted butter and add them to a 22cm cheesecake pan, pressing them with a glass to create an even layer that comes up the sides of the pan.
Bake the base for 10 minutes at 180°C until golden.
In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar and mix using a whisk or a hand mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream and the eggs one by one, mixing well in between. Add the cornflour and vanilla and gently mix everything together.
Pour the mixture over the cheesecake crust and bake in the oven for 45 minutes until it’s lightly golden on top.
Turn the oven off and open the oven door slightly, leaving the cheesecake inside to cool down to avoid the top cracking.
Once it’s cooled or you can’t wait any longer, remove from the oven and enjoy!

🍁 These maple pecan cinnamon rolls filled with delicious biscoff spread are out of this world delicious!
Make sure to save this recipe for those autumn afternoons you are craving something sweet!
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 packs instant yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/2 cup milk
5 tbsp butter
1 egg
Filling:
Biscoff Spread
Maple-pecan topping:
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup pecans
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Start by putting the dry ingredients of the dough into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl add the milk butter and water and microwave for a few minutes until the mixture is warm and the butter is almost completely dissolved. Do not overheat. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients along with the egg and mix until a dough is formed. Knead for a few minutes, cover with a cloth and allow it to rest for 45'-1h.
When the dough is almost ready to be rolled, make the topping by combining all the ingredients (except the pecans) in a saucepan and cooking until the butter has melted and the sauce is completely smooth.
Take a 25*35cm baking dish, spread the chopped pecans on the bottom and pour the maple mixture on top, making sure the pecans are evenly distributed.
Roll out the dough to a 35*40cm square spread a generous amount of biscoff spread all over and roll. Cut into 12 round pieces using a thin thread or a sharp knife. Spread the rolls on top of the maple and pecan sauce and leave them covered to rest for 45'. Bake for around 30' at 180C or until golden brown. Allow them to cool for 10' and flip so the pecan and maple topping are on the top. Enjoy!

Introducing these warm and fluffy pocket bites filled with Biscoff spread that can be made with 5 ingredients in under an hour!
Make sure to save this recipe for when you have some serious biscoff cravings!
Ingredients (makes 4)
90gr greek yoghurt
100 gr pizza flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 tsp Biscoff spread
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Icing sugar to serve (optional)
Mix the flour, yoghurt and making powder and form into a dough. Leave it to rest for 30' and divide in four equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a round shape and fill with one tsp of biscoff. Pinch together to form a small ball, making sure to bring all sides together and close well. Then roll again carefully so it doesn't burst, until you have a round shape filled with biscoff. Brush with oil and bake approximately 7' in a pre-heated oven on 200C. When rolling out the dough make sure that it is thin and your oven is pre-heated before cooking these so the dough cooks quickly and the biscoff spread doesn't dry out. Enjoy!
