Delish! I added some collagen protein, maca root and used monk fruit to sweeten. Topped with fresh raspberries and dark chocolate chips.
This recipe is a keeper for sure!

In reply to Abeer. Hello, I am happy to hear that you liked it. The recipe is correct though. We need to yeast to do its job first before we start kneading the dough. Hope this helps. Thanks for coming by and taking the time to leave a review. Aysegul

In reply to Laura. Hi Laura, I think that is a good idea. I would make the whole recipe, bring to room temp, and store it (in the Dutch oven with the lid on) in the fridge. On the day you are planning to serve it, take it out of the fridge a few hours before (to take the chill off) you are planning to warm it up (make sure that the lid is still on during that time). Then, 30-45 minutes before you are planning to serve it, you can gently reheat it on the stove. It is hard to give you an exact time as it really depends on the amount of liquid you have in the pot. I usually end up with a lot so I give myself a good hour to reheat. As it is heating, keep a close eye on it and stir it a few times to make sure it is warming nicely. Alternatively, you can put the whole thing (without the lid) to a preheated 350 F oven and reheat it gently. Again, depending on the liquid you have in the pot I think it could take somewhere between 25-45 minutes. I hope this answers your question. Aysegul

Comment on Almond Flour Chocolate Cake by Aysegul Sanford

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda, I do not think that coconut sugar will work in this chocolate cake recipe as you need the liquid coming from the maple syrup. Without that the liquid coming from eggs only will not be enough. I hope this answers your question.

I would like to make this cake tomorrow. Is it possible to use coconut sugar instead of maple syrup?

In reply to Caitlin @ teaspoon. I made this. Although, it didn’t brown very much. I’m not sure what the consistency should be. Mine feels like cake to the touch.

Hello! This recipe looks amazing and I’d like to try it for a dinner party I’m hosting. I would like to follow your idea of making the recipe the day ahead, then re-heating the day of. What would be your recommendations/ instructions for re-heating the day of?

Abeer — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:54:12 +0000

This was great! Tasted just like the bread I had at kebab restaurants. However, I got confused by the steps. Shouldn’t step 8 be after step 5? Because I almost kneaded the dough twice and every other bread making recipe kneads it once.

Woohooo!:) another amazingly easy and delish, quick, full of great ingredients recipe from #foolproofliving!!! This delivers on so many counts! And so customizable! I replaced a few eggs for egg whites added in ham and bacon along with mozzarella cheese (for that stretch appeal!) and chopped peppers! Outstanding recipe and SO easy to pull together for a family (or have on hand for snacks!) Another home run for Aysegul!:) Don’t hesitate, try this now!!:)

These are so delicious and so easy to make! I’ve made seed crackers before, but I don’t think they’ve had olive oil or any oil in them. I think that’s what makes these taste so crispy in comparison to others I’ve made in the past. Worth the extra calories! Thank you!

Emily — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 02:12:34 +0000

Was great!! I modified a bit cause I’m lazy with measurements and I added capers which was a fun little pop of salt (my boyfriend loves them). Will make again

Tara — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:57:04 +0000

So good! I was looking for an easy to prepare apple, cinnamon & oat bake, minus flour & excessive sweeteners. This fit the bill perfectly!

I halved the recipe but still used 1 medium sized Granny Smith apple with the peel, 1 tsp cinnamon & a small handful of chopped dates. I stirred a tablespoon of almond butter into the batter. I also substituted 10% fat Greek yogurt for the applesauce.

The recipe is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

Comment on Chocolate Chili by Laura

Laura — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 22:24:45 +0000

I made this as written, for the crock pot. I was surprised that it was fairly thick, just how I like chili. I love mole poblano, so it wasn’t odd to see chocolate in a Mexican recipe. I didn’t have pumpkin seeds but I did have sunflower seeds and they worked. A squeeze of lime was a good choice.

In reply to Zina P. This is music to my ears Zina. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. PS: I usually mix ground lamb with beef (50/50) to tame the gamey flavors of lamb. I highly recommend trying that version too.

I am a Chinese usually dont like eating chicken breast. I saw this video for the first time, I just wanted to try it. Since I have no cooking experience, it took me 2 hours to finish it in oven from start. It tasted good but just a little dry. That’s really okay as long as I felt so accomplished. Thank You very much. (1/20/2026 Houston, TX)

This meal is a huge hit in our house! I like letting the meat mixture sit for a few hours to overnight to maximize the flavor before rolling it out. The sauce and peppers are delicious. Thank you for the recipe! 🙂

Comment on Harissa Honey Chicken by Stephanie Elkind

Stephanie Elkind — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:38:48 +0000

One of the quickest and most flavorful chicken dishes to put together! I didn’t have time to marinate and put it in the oven at 425 convection roast and it came out great! I was a little low on the Harissa so added some cumin, paprika and olive oil. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. Don’t skip a yogurt, lemon, garlic sauce . Really complements it.

This was a really good salad. Spring mix can sometimes be boring. But you have so many good things in this salad. The dressing was great, the sunflower seeds and the radishes added the perfect crunch. Can’t recommend enough.

My son made these per my request. He did both versions, lamb and beef. I was amazed how perfect these turned out….delicious and just like pictured. We preferred the beef version. The grass feed lamb was quite gamey, but still tasted good. Flavors were subtle and blended well with each other. He will make again!

In reply to Greg. Hi Greg, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the sauce. Regarding the flavor, it's important to note that this recipe is designed as a weeknight-friendly shortcut, rather than a traditional Turkish Döner. To get that authentic, deep flavor of a traditional Turkish Döner kebab, you typically need hours of marinating with a lot more spices, layered meat on a vertical rotisserie, and a high ratio of rendered animal fat. Let's be honest, those elements aren't always practical for a quick home dinner. For this version, I stayed true to the viral recipe and intentionally kept the spices more on the conservative end to make it approachable for a wide range of palates. However, if you're looking for that 'restaurant-level' punch, you can easliy customize it according to your tastebuds. Below is where I would start: Increasing the spices: Use 1/4 teaspoon more of the cumin, paprika, and one or two more minced fresh garlic. Perhaps, add some ground coriander and Urfa chili in there as well. Marinating: Letting the meat sit with the spices for several hours (or overnight) to helps flavors to meld. Add more fat (just like they do in restaurants): Using a higher-fat ground meat (perhaps 80/20 ratio) or adding a bit of oil or butter to mimic the richness of the spit-roast. I appreciate you giving it a try, and I hope these tweaks help you find that bolder flavor profile you're looking for!

I made this exactly according to the recipe. I have to say it was….ok. Wouldn’t make it again. I found the flavour rather bland compared to my local doner place. I like the idea of it, but need to search for a recipe with bolder flavours. The sauce was awesome though
