SARAH RAINEY BAKES

The sun's out, it's Friday afternoon... and all anyone cares about is the football tomorrow. Life's too short to spend it slaving away in the kitchen, especially on days like today. So for dinner tonight - or for a super-easy lunch before the match - why not whip up some of my three-ingredient pizza dough? It's speedy, delicious and so easy to make you could do it with your eyes closed (as I appear to be doing in the picture below). Then all you need are tonnes of your favour

Bank Holiday baking is my favourite kind of baking. You've had a lie-in, the out-of-office is on and the whole day stretches ahead, full of possibilities (and baking, obviously).

Breadcrumbs might not sound like the most obvious baking ingredien

These easy cheesy dippers are the perfect party snack. Made from mozzarella, eggs and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, they couldn't be simpler to whip up - and they're a real crowd pleaser. I like to serve mine with chunky tomato salsa, but they work well with hummus, guacamole or even a steaming bowl of chilli con carne and some sour cream.
