Baking Recipes

Baking is a favourite pastime of New Zealander’s, from the difficult to master Pavlova, Anzac biscuits and chocolate brownies, muffins and slices. We love to bake a sweet treat in this country and plenty of our most popular recipes at NZ’s Favourite Recipe are baking oriented. We also love new twists, like fair trade and conscious baking recipes that replace your average ingredients for those that are ethically sourced. Increasingly we are also seeing things like stevia added as natural sugar alternatives and gluten free options for celiacs and those with gluten intolerances.

If you have any baking recipes, whether an old family favourite or something new you’ve picked up lately, we’d love to hear from you. So please hit that submit a recipe button in the top menu, we would love to feature your creation!

Yorkshire puddings are flour, eggs, milk and salt. There is nothing in the ingredient list that can go wrong, which means every failure is a technique failure — and there are only three techniques that matter. Makes 12. About 40 minutes, plus resting time for the batter.

Focaccia

Focaccia

by NZ Recipes on July 3, 2026August 13, 2026

Focaccia looks like it should be difficult and it is the opposite — no kneading, one bowl, and a dough so wet you couldn’t knead it if you wanted to. What it needs is time, and almost all of that is unattended. Serves 8 generously.
