  • 50g margarine or butter, softened

Preparation

  1. Pre heat the oven to 170ºc fan, 180º conventional (top & bottom heat), gas 4
  2. Slice the bread if necessary and cut the crusts off before weighing it.
  3. Spread the slices of bread with butter or spread and cut each slice into two diagonally, to form triangles.
  4. Mix the eggs, soya drink, mango alternative to yogurt and vanilla together in a jug.
  5. Grease the base and sides of a 23 x 23 x 6cm dish and place one layer of bread triangles on the base and sprinkle with three quarters of the fruit. Pour the orange juice and zest evenly over the bread.
  6. Place another layer of triangles over the top and sprinkle with the remaining fruit.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top, ensuring that all the bread is soaked.
  8. Sprinkle the sugar over the surface.
  9. Place the tray/dish in a ‘bain marie’, a tray containing water that is deep enough to come half way up the sides of the try/dish. This cooks the egg mixture gently.
  10. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until it is golden brown

Total time: 45 minutes 

Ingredients: 
For the pancakes
200g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch salt
180ml Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink
2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
Alpro Plain No Sugars Big Pot to serve

For the salsa
2 ripe avocado, 1cm dice
100g cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 x 300g tin sweetcorn, drained
30g bunch coriander, roughly chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Salt & pepper

Tip:
Flours vary, so you may need to add a little more Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink to reach a pourable pancake consistency. It needs to still hold its shape in the pan to form the American style pancakes, so try before adding more drink. 

Method:
1.	To make American-style pancakes put the flour and baking powder in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. In a jug, whisk the Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink with eggs.
2.	Mix all the salsa ingredients together and set aside.
3.	Use a balloon whisk to gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry to make a pancake batter. Brush a non-stick frying pan with more vegetable oil then pour in batter to make small 10cm pancakes, about 2-3 tbsp of batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface then flip and cook until other side is golden. This will be about 2-3 minutes on each side. 
4.	 Serve 2-3 pancakes a person with a spoonful of Alpro Plain No Sugars Big Pot and the salsa and extra lime wedges.

A brilliant brunchtime savoury bake made with Alpro Greek Style. 
Ingredients: 
1 tsp sugar
125ml lukewarm water
7g dried yeast
500ml flour 
125g Alpro Greek Style
1 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, finely grated 
Olive oil
4 tbsp green pesto (plus extra for serving if you like)
4 medium tomatoes (with stems if you can)
Salt & pepper to taste

1. Preheat your oven to 180º. Then activate the yeast. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, warm water and yeast. Leave for around 10 minutes – when it looks foamy, the yeast is activated and it’s ready to use. 
2. Now for the dough. On a flat surface, make a little heap of the flour. Make a well in the middle and add the yeast mixture, Alpro Greek Style, salt, garlic and a drizzle of oil. Bring it all together and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it’s sticky and glossy. Pop into a bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave it for around an hour in a warm place to rise – it should be double the size. (In a gently warmed oven or near a heater is ideal.) 
3. Create your plaits. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. On a floured surface shape each one into a ball then roll out into a round ""pizza"" shape, about 20cm across. Spread a tablespoon of pesto evenly over each round then roll it up tightly. With a sharp knife slice lengthwise down the middle of each ‘sausage’. Braid the two sections together, trying to keep the cut side on top. (That’s what creates the fanatastic twisted effect.) 
3. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spacing out well. Wrap a dough plait around each tomato and pinch the ends together to form a wreath. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. 
4. Pop in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the bread is light golden brown. Use a slice to slide onto plates, serve warm with a little extra pesto on the side if you like. Lunch, brunch, delish whenever!
