It has been so great being able to bake while on vacation, especially since I have such willing taste-testers (thanks Mom and Dad!). Since sweet potatoes are absolutely everywhere here, it seemed like the perfect time and place to try incorporating them into dinner rolls, which I’ve been meaning [...]

OK we’re taking steps in the right direction here…away from desserts and back towards (moderately) healthier things. These aren’t perfect, but with half whole wheat flour, they’re much better than Wonder Bread, and I really can’t resist anything with zaatar. If you normally serve pita with Middle Eastern [...] Buckwheat and molasses: two things I love together (in the form of molasses on buckwheat pancakes) but never considered baking with until Mike this recipe for it and tried it out. Yep, I’m not the only baker in the house these days! We’ve made several loaves of this [...] I have probably only had hot cross buns once or twice in my life, and I don’t remember thinking they were all that great. For a large portion of my childhood, no baked good was worth eating unless it had chocolate or frosting, so the idea of a bun [...] There are few things I love more with my dinner than a soft roll. (Sticky rice is one of those few things…but that’s for another post). I also really love baking with whole wheat flour, but that and softness don’t usually go together. Normally I don’t mind [...] Our new place is right around the corner from a small grocery/liquor store that sells some of the best pita I’ve ever had. When I was planning a big Middle Eastern dinner for family, I just counted on picking up a few packages of bread, knowing I’d be pretty [...] Part of moving overseas means making sacrifices. You have to give up some things, and sometimes, it’s pretty painful. The whole three months we spent in Thailand, I never had a kitchen. That was a HUGE sacrifice, even though I could eat amazing food for pennies, it [...] I love baking bread on the weekends, when I’m not doing too much and have plenty of time to wait for it to rise. I stumbled upon the fantastic Joy of Cooking recipe for basic white bread and made a few loaves to cut up for stuffing on Thanksgiving. [...] These have been on my to-make list for awhile, but it wasn’t until I was standing in my kitchen, thinking about making some bread, that I realized I had all the ingredients and plenty of time to make pretzels. I’m so happy I did, because these were HIGHLY addictive. Like, [...] The first time I visited a Mexican grocery store, some beautiful rolls with an attractive pink topping caught my eye. I ADORE pan dulce, and can’t resist picking up at least a couple any time I go to a Mexican grocery store. It didn’t occur to me until very recently [...] |
