Simple 2-ingredient air fryer recipe makes perfect bread in just 5 minutes
Making bread can seem intimidating - a precise art requiring exact measurements and endless patience. But one recipe creator has shared that you only need a couple of minutes and two simple ingredients to get the job done, reports the Express.
So if you're a complete beginner who's nervous about having a go, journalist and content creator Laura's (@cakeontherun) method doesn't need any kneading or proving time. You can whip up a small loaf using two ingredients you've likely got sitting in your cupboard already.
In an Instagram post from May 2024, she showed how this straightforward recipe can also be prepared in a popular kitchen gadget. If you're short on time, Laura demonstrated that this mini loaf can be cooked in the air fryer. You can also create a gluten-free version of the bread.
Laura explained that to make a gluten free bread loaf, use gluten free bread and a third of a teaspoon of xanthan gum. One person commented: "I have to try it."
Samuel wrote: "Thanks, so simple! Could you recommend cooking it in the microwave, in order to save fuel costs? Cheers."
So if you're fresh to bread making and fancy testing out a quick, easy recipe, here's what you'll need to do.
Mini bread loaf
Ingredients
6 tbsp self raising flour
4 tbsp yoghurt
Method
Combine flour and yoghurt in a bowl to form a dough.
Dust your hands with flour, shape into a ball, knead briefly and then roughly form a loaf or thick sausage shape with your hands. It shouldn't be overly sticky.
Air fry the bread on air fry mode at 200 °C for five minutes. Laura noted that air fryers can differ, so if the loaf is still a bit doughy, bake for a few more minutes.
If you don't have an air fryer, oven bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Enjoy immediately.

Wooden floors will be scratch-free and gleaming in minutes with £1 fridge item
Wooden flooring can get scratched, stained and covered in dust quickly Wooden floors are a durable flooring option because they tolerate a lot of wear, including spills, scuffs, and scratches from pets and children. However, if hardwood floors are not cleaned properly, they can scratch easily or become dull quickly. According to cleaning experts, there's a simple kitchen ingredient that could solve all your cleaning mishaps, and you've likely already got it in the fridge. A group member of the Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook page asked how to remove scratches and water stains from their hardwood flooring, and several people backed the unusual suggestion. Divya Kharisma wrote: 'Help. I will be moving out of my current flat at the end of the month, and I need to remove the scratches and water stains from the wooden floor before the cleaning inspection. Is there anything that can be done to remove it, as it appears to have dried up?' Julie Jackson claimed, 'Mayonnaise will work wonders. Smother it on and leave it as long as you can. The oil in it does the trick.' Sandra Pollendine said: 'Full-fat mayonnaise and leave for half an hour and then buff with a soft cloth after.' Valerie Williams wrote: 'Mayonnaise left overnight, tried and tested, just wipe off.' Sharon Hale recalled, 'I had a similar mark on my wooden cabinet. I used mayonnaise and rubbed it in with a cloth. It came up like new!' Collette Bolton replied: 'Mayonnaise is brilliant. Clean first and make sure it is dry before applying.' Ann Baker said: 'I got rid of scratches on my wooden table with mayonnaise. Worth a try. It even got rid of the dust for a while.' Experts at Cleaning Pro agreed that this method could revive wooden floors, reports the Express. They said, 'Believe it or not, mayonnaise is an effective scuff remover and dust repellent. 'Using a soft cloth, gently rub a small amount of mayo on the scuffed spot and let it soak in for five to 10 minutes before wiping clean.' They pointed out that the oils in mayonnaise help lift dirt from the abrasions and give shiny, dust-free results. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Experts at Luxury Living Fort Lauderdale also recently shared another easy way to restore natural floors' shine and keep them clean: all you need are some teabags. They said: 'Throughout history, black tea has been used to mop hardwood floors. The tanic acid in black tea helps clean and add shine otherwise dull, old flooring.' Black tea is an old-school method of cleaning wooden floors. It contains tannins, which are acidic, so they can easily cut through dirt, dust, and grease buildup. It naturally shines wood to make the floor look polished and also slightly darken minor scratches to help make them less noticeable. Tea cannot fill in a deep scratch to make it disappear, but it can help blend a surface-level scratch with the surrounding wood to improve the floor's overall appearance.

Chefs little-known ingredient for the 'best' tuna mayo with no effort
Tuna mayo is a classic British sandwich filling and a go-to option for picnics, lunchboxes, and quick meals at home. But there's one ingredient chefs swear by for the 'best' version - and it's not what you'd expect The classic tuna mayo sandwich, a beloved staple in British cuisine, is celebrated for its delightful fusion of flavours and textures that fit any setting, from casual picnics to elegant soirées. Tinned tuna, an essential item in the cupboard, provides an affordable and convenient source of protein. Mayonnaise adds a creamy dimension, preventing the fish from feeling too dry. This adaptable combo can be slathered on bread, tossed into salads, mixed with pasta, or used as a topping to enhance a variety of dishes. While whipping up a basic tuna mix is a breeze, culinary aficionados are always on the hunt for ways to refine their creations. Candace Nagy, penning for Eating Well, divulges insider tips from food maestros on perfecting the "best" tuna salad - and they all agree on one vital detail. Candace's investigative gastronomy uncovers that the secret to a superior tuna mayo is selecting the right type of tinned fish. "Choose tuna packed in olive oil," she instructs readers, mirroring the advice of seasoned chefs, reports the Express. Gourmet experts assert olive oil not only boosts the overall taste but also imparts a unique flavour that water-packed tuna can't replicate. Chef Michael Proietti, known from his Food Network appearances, told Candace that while water-preserved tuna tends to have a stronger fishy flavour, olive oil has the ability to mellow these tones. Olive oil has been given the thumbs up by foodie expert Carla Contreras, who swears by its magic in boosting the juiciness and tenderness of fish, laying the groundwork for her favourite tuna salad mixes. However, Candace points out that not all tinned fish are created equal, regardless of whether they're swimming in water or oil. She says: "Depending on your preference of texture and taste, there are several types that work well for tuna salad, including albacore, which has a firmer, flakier texture; chunk light that will result in a softer, "wetter" tuna salad; and yellowfin tuna for its meaty and velvety texture. "Just be sure to look for labels that ensure premium-quality ingredients and ethical practices." Whipping up a tuna mayo is a doddle, even for kitchen novices. For those feeling a bit wobbly about the whole thing, the NHS has got you covered with a simple, healthy recipe for a tuna mayo and sweetcorn sarnie. Ingredients Half a 160g can of tuna in spring water, drained. One level tablespoon reduced-calorie mayonnaise. One heaped tablespoon sweetcorn (tinned, or cooked from frozen). A large pinch of black pepper. Two thick slices of half-and-half bread. Method Mix the tuna with the mayonnaise, sweetcorn, and pepper. Get ahead by prepping the filling the night before and popping it in the fridge to save time in the morning. Slather the mixture between the slices of bread.

Generation Lonely: Gen-Z want to play, but we're just too awkward
Every adjective you can think of can be found gleefully suffixed onto the end of Gen Z headlines; Gen Lazy, Gen Celibate, Gen Total F***ing Losers. I've always thought lazy felt debatable, and celibate depends who you ask. But Gen Lonely? This, for me, rings all too true. I think everyone I know, no matter who they are, has felt the slow creep of isolation that comes from opening Instagram and seeing the sprawl of every happy person that's ever lived. We all know the stomach lurch that accompanies a lonely night spent in a big city, or the feeling of being unable to reach out. Loneliness, for the modern generation, is a great leveller.
