I know it has been such a long time, but WELCOME BACK to Nikoli's Kitchen! In this week's episode I talk about where I've been and the "log jam" that is my brain, and I talk about making Challah Bread from scratch on a livestream and turning it into French Toast with strawberries and a cream cheese mascarpone drizzle! Thank you so much for tuning in, and make sure you come back every week for a brand new episode!
Featured Recipe for this Episode:
Challah Bread:
560 grams all-purpose flour (about 4-1/4 c)*
* When I made this I didn't realize the website contains both metric measures and cup measurements. I also over-measured the flour at about 4-1/2 c. The dough still turned out very sticky, though, and I didn't have to adjust any other ingredients.
* The recipe from the blog recommends using the dough hook to mix and aerate the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, and salt), however, this doesn't really work as well as I'd like. I just used a hand whisk to mix the dry ingredients before putting the bowl onto the mixer. I also whisked together the wet ingredients before adding them to the dry mixture.
** I used normal yeast in the recipe and not rapid-rise yeast. It needs a longer rise time in this case which I did not allow for, so my challah was more dense. Make sure you allot for the additional rise time if you don't have rapid-rise yeast.
*** I recommend using a nice, fragrant honey to elevate the flavor profile of this. I used a raw wildflower honey for mine.
32 oz strawberries, thinly sliced
8 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese
3 eggs

That's scratch-made pasta, marinara, AND cheese filling, hand-stamped and cooked to perfection (when they didn't explode). I've still got some things to learn, but I've been workshopping this cheese recipe for the last couple months, and I really wanted to share it with you. Please check out the entire recipe breakdown and ingredient list below! Thank you all so much for listening!
Featured Recipe for this Episode

Hello and welcome to season FIVE of Nikoli's Kitchen everyone! This week, no featured recipe- in fact, you'll find many episodes going forward will be missing them. The format of the show is changing. It will be singularly focused week to week on a single topic, like you're sitting down with me in the kitchen, maybe while we're eating, maybe while we're cooking, and like I'm just telling you what's going on in my life. I hope that you enjoy!
In today's season five premiere, I talk about my struggles with weight loss, and get a little frustrated with myself as I've lost a bit of that struggle lately. So with that... it's time to be accountable again.

Hello and welcome to what will likely be the final episode of 2022! This week, I'm talking about this amazing Asian BBQ Sauce I made out of a lot of the leftovers and components of Asian dishes I've made on the show over the past year or so. I don't know Asian food very well, but I know BBQ sauce, and I was thrilled to try to chuck tamarind and palm sugar into one, and the results absolutely blew me away.
Season five of the show will not be kicking off until January 2023 at the earliest. Until then, I'm working on reformatting areas of the show and making this about not just my journey, but about your journey.
