What is a milk bread chocolate babka? I’ve learned over the past few years, many people either don’t know what a babka is, or only know what it is because of that Seinfeld episode. If you’re unfamiliar, Jerry and Elaine are in line at a bakery to get a chocolate babka to bring to a…
When it comes to American biscuits there are several styles. There are drop biscuits, and flaky biscuits, and then there are buttermilk biscuits. However, I think most people (or Americans at least) think of buttermilk biscuits when someone is talking about biscuits. Buttermilk biscuits are tender and buttery, rich and a little salty. They are…
These buttermilk dinner rolls may just become your new favorite dinner roll to make with dinner. They are big and fluffy, and the buttermilk adds a little tang. Pair them with the cinnamon honey butter and you will be in HEAVEN. You may look at buttermilk dinner rolls and think, these look like regular yeast…
What is a small batch focaccia? Lots of typical focaccia recipes are cooked in large sheet pans and yield a huge slab of bread. This recipe is designed to be much smaller, perfect for 2-4 people. If you don’t eat tons of bread (who are you? lol), or don’t want leftovers, this is perfect for…
Does everyone think of the song hot cross buns when they see the name? Maybe just Americans because of elementary school and learning to play that song on the recorder. I actually never learned because of moving schools often but that’s neither here nor there, I digress. You’d think they’d give you the actual baked…
When it came to Easter in my house growing up, we never really had any special treats or traditions other than Easter baskets and a somewhat fancy dinner. I really wanted to create a special bread for the occasion. I did some research to see what other cultures and countries do for the holiday and…
Cinnamon cream cheese scones with a brown butter glaze. I know this sounds like a lot. It is. But it’s also a lot of flavors that meld together in the best way. I debated calling these cheesecake scones because they almost melt in your mouth the way cheesecake does but they aren’t quite right for…
These little cuties are here just in time for Valentine’s Day. Now, could you make cinnamon rolls? Yes. But would these heart shaped raspberry rolls be better? I think so. These rolls are a soft brioche style bread, filled with raspberry jam or preserves and topped with a white chocolate cream cheese glaze. I love…
Everything pretzel knots are here, and they are here to win your taste buds over. Who doesn’t love a good soft pretzel? I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t. Because honestly what’s not to like. What do pretzels have in common with bagels? If you’ve never made either of them, I’ll let you…
This creamy goat cheese, cinnamon and cranberry star bread is going to rocket up your repeat bake list. Star bread is such a showstopper when it comes to desserts and breads. It looks so much harder to make than it is. If you can make cinnamon rolls or babka, you can make star bread. Even…
If you know me, you know scones are a love language for me. I love eating them (good ones) and I love baking them. I love creating unique flavors or recreating the flavors of other baked goods in scone format. When I made these chocolate orange scones, I didn’t know that chocolate orange was a…
I feel like you’re either a gingerbread person or you’re not. People tend to feel strongly about it. I was always kind of in the no man’s land of the middle or take it or leave it. Didn’t love it or hate it. But, I think I may be in the love it camp now…
Pesto parmesan bagels are not a common flavor and I don’t know why. They have the salty cheesy umami flavor that is perfection. Slather some cream cheese on and you have like all the flavors and textures. I am one of those people who prefers a local small business to a chain. There is NOTHING…
If you love pumpkin, I won’t lie to you and tell you these pumpkin maple dinner rolls are like taking a bite of pumpkin pie. They aren’t. That being said, they bring great flavor and beautiful color to these super soft and fluffy rolls. These things are jumbo as well. These rolls are soft and…
Imagine a charcuterie board if you will. Who are the players? Cheese obviously because cheese is wonderful and most of us love it. Then you have your cured meats. Salami, sausage, and probably a prosciutto. Then some nuts, maybe some grapes, and then cap it with carbs. Whether it’s crackers or crostini. But most of…
