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…
Personally, I’m not a small batch cinnamon rolls kinda girl. I like a big batch to share, or just over indulge. They always will get eaten. But! I know not everyone wants a 12 big cinnamon rolls. Maybe you live alone, or your family is small and not super into sweets. Whatever the case may…
A blueberry scone loaf?? You may be thinking I’ve lost it, but stay with me. A scone loaf is your same favorite scone flavor and texture, just in a loaf. It can be sliced and shared, and it’s easier to get a piece of scone in the perfect size. Blueberry scones might be one of…
I think every kid goes through a toast phase when they first try cinnamon sugar toast. Cinnamon sugar toast was a favorite back then and still is. This cinnamon swirl bread tastes similar to cinnamon sugar bread, just baked right in. Cinnamon is such a good spice and I will find any way to put…
When you hear pumpkin rolls do you think of pumpkin dinner rolls? Or perhaps a pumpkin swiss roll cake? Well, these are neither but equally as delicious. If you love pumpkin, you will love these. They have all the flavors of pumpkin pie but nestled into a soft fluffy dough and perfectly served at breakfast….
Focaccia is one of my favorite breads. It’s just the perfect combination of fluffy and soft but also the crisp edges. It’s also pretty simple to make which always is a plus when baking. A few years ago I wondered to myself why dessert or sweet focaccia wasn’t a thing, so I made one: Sweet…
These lemon blackberry muffins are really an any season bake even if they feel like summer. Lemons are pretty easy to find anytime of year and the blackberries come from jam. Voila, middle of winter? You can still whip these up and it will feel like warmer months. Muffins are such a great bake because…
What are peach rolls? Pretty much everyone on the planet has had a cinnamon roll or knows what it is. But a lot of people are newer to the concept of a sweet roll. Essentially it’s a cinnamon roll with a different filling. Sweet rolls can be filled with anything! Chocolate, jam, fruit, the possibilities…
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…
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…
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…
