Everything Sandwich Bread
Ideal blend? A blend that can go on everything. Ideal bread? Bread you can serve with everything. With this recipe, you can have a fluffy, seeded white bread in just about 3 hours (or quicker with a mixer!). I went on to turn this into a yummy Egg Salad Sandwich, a BLT, crostinis for a cheese platter, and some croutons with the ends! Only regret? Not making another loaf.
Infused Sugar Scones
Is there anything better than fresh out of the oven scones? This recipe is a great base dough that allows for endless personalization. I made a quick batch last night and am looking forward to baking a set with different flavors on Sunday.
Baking Powder Biscuits
Nothing beats a buttery biscuit for breakfast. I made these to serve with Sausage Gravy, but they would make delicious shortcakes or egg sandwiches just as easily. Each time I make a batch, I bake half + freeze the other. This leaves me with about 6 biscuits ready to be baked on demand over the next few weeks.
Candied Blueberry Bacon Bread Twists
I have been wanting to make bacon bread twists since I saw a version of them on Half Baked Harvest. We made candied bacon with SKORDO Blueberry Pork Rub for an event two years ago and I kid you not, people went nuts over them!
Za'atar Zucchini and Mascarpone Slab Galette
The perfect recipe for all the zucchinis available this time of year, Za'atar Zucchini and Mascarpone Slab Galette... we made this at our big family dinner the other night and even the meat lovers were coming back for seconds. We love the flaky, buttery cornmeal crust (it actually has flavor!), and the creamy mascarpone paired with toasted spices and zucchini make a wonderfully delicious dish.
French Toast with Posy Sugar
I’ve never been a fan of flowers, gifting or receiving, but floral sugar is certainly something I can get behind. All the smells, all the beautiful colors, no watering or responsibilities. This blend of hibiscus, rose, and lavender is so stunning- I just want to sprinkle it on everything. To start your morning on the right foot, I suggest a shimmer of Posy in your latte as you prepare this French Toast recipe. Simple, with a subtle touch of something special!
Yorkshire Pudding and Brown Gravy
Yorkshire Pudding and Brown Gravy…these are ‘gotta-haves’ for any proper Roast Beef dinner.
Homemade Israeli Za'atar + Fennel Saffron Challah
This holiday season I wanted to make a recipe that might be featured in a traditional Jewish meal! Challah is a dense, slightly sweet egg bread that is braided and baked to a deep golden brown. It works beautifully on its own, with a swipe of butter, but also makes a delicious sandwich or batch of French toast.
Spiced Olive Oil Crackers
Home made crackers feel special; They're easy to make, but always impress! We're a fan of making these as simple gifts and try to always have a few on hand for snacking. Along with Ottolenghi's standard recipe, we've included a couple of our favorite topping combinations. No matter how you dress them up, these pair perfectly with a soft cheese and hummus.
Quick Tellicherry Buttermilk Biscuits
Two things about home cooking really intimidate me: cooking a new type of cuisine and baking. As a homecook, I have been in awe of Indian cuisine and the mastery of spices and flavors those meals bring - resulting in my local indian restaurant being a favorite in my phone contacts. While cooking has always been something I just meal plan with what I have in the pantry, the strict science of baking was always something that just didn’t vibe for me. So when our monthly cooking theme of World Cuisine came up I wanted to push myself and my skills by taking on some Indian inspired recipes.
Masala Chai and Whiskey Tea Cake
I'm a big fan of tea cakes. They're quick to make, great to snack on and handy to have when friends pop over for a visit. Plus, they're an excuse for a quick mid-week bake! This one is fall inspired and pairs perfectly with Builder's Tea. In a pinch coffee will do, but there's nothing better than strong black tea (we recommend PG tips) and a slice of this spicy, sweet treat.
Apple Coffee Cake
This apple cake recipe is actually a blueberry cake recipe that’s been reworked. It’s a family favorite and nobody knows the exact origins, but there’s rumor of a very stained/browned newspaper clipping tucked into a homemade recipe book in my grandmother’s kitchen.
