Bread Makers

Move aside charcuterie, there’s a new board-based trend on the block! A butter board is exactly what it sounds like – a timber board topped with a generous amount of butter and served with artisanal breads. Whipped fresh, highly photogenic (Insta and TikTok feeds are full of butter boards) and topped with exotic ingredients, these butters are a taste sensation that relies only on your imagination and a small appliance or two. From dessert butter to savoury blends, we’ve rounded up the best butter board recipe ideas for you to try, plus the best appliances for the job.

It’s time to get out the stand mixer and gather your toppings!

What’s your favourite way to eat a hot cross bun? We like it hot from the oven, with lashings of butter and a cuppa on the side. However you like them, baking big batches of traditional Easter hot cross buns at home has never been easier, with the latest stand mixers, the right mixer accessories for the job, and precise oven controls. 

Also, prepare for some new twists on an old favourite. We’re talking Vegemite, white chocolate and, wait for it, bacon! And then there’s the delectable Easter egg toastie – yum!
