If you’ve never heard of star bread, let me tell you, you’re in for a treat. This pizza star bread is a savory version of my Spiced Chocolate Star Bread or Sweet and Tangy Goat Cheese Cranberry Star Bread. The star bread itself, think of a cinnamon roll. It’s a yeasted dough layered with filling…
Cheesy skillet focaccia has my vote for president. Focaccia is one of my favorite kinds of bread to make. Maybe because it’s simple, maybe because it tastes fantastic. Maybe it’s because it’s both. If I could survive off only two food groups, it would probably be cheese and bread. Clearly a cheesy skillet focaccia needed…
Personally, when I am buying burger buns I like to go for either potato burger buns or brioche. Brioche feels fancy and the potato buns are always just so soft and yum. A burger is great but on a good bun can make or break it, at least for me. It needs to be soft…
I wasn’t sure what to call these buns. From my research, they appear to be very similar to a Czech Kolache or a Russian Vatrushka, however I have had neither. So I decided to call them cheesecake brioche buns, but they indeed were inspired by and I learned about the shaping from either/both. It just…
If you’re looking for something akin to a zucchini pizza or a summery side dish, this goat cheese and zucchini galette is perfect. It screams summer eating. What is a galette? If you’ve never had one, it’s sort of like a free form pie or a tart. It’s a pie crust but there is no…
What is a pull apart bread? If you’ve ever had a bread like monkey bread, it’s a bread that’s designed to be torn and shared. Well this cheesy garlic bread is just that, but also stuffed with cheese and garlic butter. I think I would pour garlic butter on my life if I could. It…
You found it, the babka of your dreams: cookie butter babka. A sweetened enriched dough, stuffed with cookie butter and topped with a cinnamon glaze and biscoff cookie bits. It is so good, and feels like a fantastic slice of dessert. I was inspired to make my own cookie butter babka when I saw a…
I have been so excited about sharing this cinnamon sugar focaccia recipe since the beginning of the year. I knew I wanted to make it, but it only seemed fitting to share in June. I have an Oprah moment during June and share recipes with my favorite flavors or types of food. Bread, obviously top…
Are you team muffins are cake or team muffins are something completely different. I’m more the latter, however I tend to make my muffins pretty differently and way less sweet. I don’t love an overly sweet muffin. Probably because it tastes like cake and I don’t like cake. These white chocolate cinnamon muffins are probably…
I created these olive oil rolls for two reasons. One olive oil is delicious, and really good with bread. Have you ever had focaccia or even just bread dipped in oil? It’s fantastic. But secondly, lots of my favorite breads use milk or butter or eggs. I am NOT an allergen baker on this blog,…
I don’t know where you live, but have you ever lived if you haven’t had real NY style bagels? I think the answer may be no. You might have a fantastic bagel shop in your town. But how do you know how they rank unless you have eaten the gold standard? Maybe ignorance (in the…
What’s better than bread? Well, honestly not much but homemade bread. And homemade bread that requires no kneading and little effort but big flavor? Might be the top of the list. This no-knead beer cheese bread is exactly that. I took my Easy White-Wheat Dutch Oven Bread and adapted it to make this beer cheese…
I remember these goat cheese hot honey scones coming to me in a bolt of lightning type of idea. What was I doing? No idea. But I’m glad, because they turned out fantastic. I know hot honey has been having a moment and maybe already is old news but I had a bottle and went…
My Sweet Italian Maritozzi are a very popular treat. What’s not to love? It’s a sweetened dough with whipped cream filling it. I’m a vanilla girl, but I know I’m in the minority. Of course I had to make a chocolate maritozzi! Chocolate bread is somewhat difficult to achieve. Cocoa powder is unsweetened, and it’s…
Mini focaccia are personal pan small focaccias that are great for individual servings or using as sandwich bread or buns. Same great flavor as the big pan in a smaller form. I have recipes for Overnight Focaccia which is a big batch version, Easy Same Day Small Batch Focaccia, sweet focaccias and savory.. so what’s…
