Oven-baked, HotBag-risen, No-kneading Whole Wheat Bread
SERVES 4
This recipe requires an oven for baking the bread but a HotBag will rise the bread dough beautifully. Use a deep mixing bowl or cover with cling wrap to prevent the rising dough from touching the HotBag. The real beauty of this bread is that there is no kneading.

Mango Relish for Curries
When you find you've cut into an unripe mango, make good use of it as a side dish for curry.

1 mango, peeled and sliced
In your smallest pot, simmer the mango in 1cm water for
5 minutes on the stove before transferring to a Small HotBag. Leave for 15 minutes or longer.

Use the HotBag method for YOUR favourite recipes!

Instead of using the stove for so long, transfer the pot to a HotBag for the last two thirds of the usual cooking time. 

  • Mashed potato
  • Pasta sauce
  • Basmati rice
  • Home-made yoghurt also does well in a HotBag
THE HOTBAG IS ALSO GREAT AS.... A portable warming drawer, a cooler-bag, camping and hiking equipment ... and a valuable gift!
