These breadsticks are reminiscent of your favorite breadsticks growing up. Heavily seasoned, crispy, buttery edges and soft crumb. I don’t know about you, but growing up I was a Book-It kid. If you’re not familiar, it’s a kids program through the school that if you read a certain number of books each month you could…
These apple cheddar scones are buttery and layered with apple chunks and sharp cheddar. Full of both sweet and savory flavors and no dryness to be found. One of my favorite sandwiches/paninis to make at home is turkey, apple and cheddar. It’s so good, especially when it’s grilled like a grilled cheese and add a…
Listen up ranch dressing lovers, these ranch fantail rolls are the dinner roll for you. Herby and creamy and fluffy rolls with a unique shape. What are fantail rolls? A dinner roll is a dinner roll in some ways. A small portion of bread. A fantail roll is like a pull-apart loaf but individually portioned….
These pesto garlic knots are just like the classic garlic knot, but with herby pesto added in for extra flavor. My bar for garlic knots is pretty high. When we lived in Virginia Beach, we used to go to this local pizza place with the best garlic knots I had ever tasted. They were huge,…
This roasted garlic sesame focaccia is so flavorful from both roasted garlic and roasted sesame oil your taste buds will be singing. Traditional focaccia is delicious. No notes. However, I’m always wondering how can I adapt recipes for new flavors. I’ve made Sweet Focaccia and Focaccia Pizza, and various other kinds. My Sweet Cinnamon Apple…
Savory biscotti is NOT traditional biscotti, and I am aware of this. However, you are talking to a gal who also likes to bake dessert focaccia and other creative takes on traditional bakes. Because that’s one of the great things about cooking and baking, you can be creative with flavors! What is biscotti? Biscotti is…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
Is there such thing as bad pizza? I’m sure there is, but even bad pizza is better than none? I think that’s probably true but that’s neither here nor there because this focaccia pizza is fantastic. If you like pizza? It’s for you. If you like focaccia? It’s for you. Who needs pizza and breadsticks…
I am indeed a sweet over savory person, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love and need a few good savory bakes too. Cheesy breads are generally my go to. But honestly, they are so good together. For these Cheddar Dill Muffins I took my Raspberry Buttermilk Muffins and adapted the base muffin from sweet…
If you know, you know. I actually don’t know because I’ve never been to SUR and had them, but I do watch Vanderpump Rules and it’s where I first heard of goat cheese balls. Did they invent them? Probably not. But it IS where my interest in them was piqued. I’m not a big reality…
