  • Lemon Sweet Rolls With Cream Cheese Icing

    July 2, 2023Rob

    NY Times recipe from Yossy Arefi who states, “These sweet, lemony rolls are a fresh alternative to classic cinnamon rolls. A little cardamom in the dough and filling enhances the bright citrus flavor without overtaking it. This dough is adaptable: You can let the dough rise in the refrigerator, instead of at room temperature, so you can serve fresh, warm rolls for breakfast without getting up at the crack of dawn to make them.”

    Recipe from King Arthur Flour which states, “With the help of a little baking powder, these yeasted flatbreads are ready to enjoy in just over an hour. Thicker and chewier than tortillas or pitas, they’re a sturdy option for sandwich wraps.

However you choose to enjoy them, know that you won’t have to carve out hours of your day to devote to their preparation.”

    Recipe from my sister, Heather, who states, “I make this one a LOT, but I always double it and I get about 16 breads, and when doubled I only use 2 1/2 tablespoons yeast total. I have also used all milk, and all water, both give great results. I almost always use bread flour, but all-purpose flour works fine too. When I first started making these I made them exclusively on the grill since I didn’t have a Blackstone yet, but they’re delicious cooked either way.”

    May 7, 2019Rob

    Test recipe from America’s Test Kitchen who state, “Our goal was a pan pizza with a well-browned crust, tender crumb, and crisp, cheesy outer edge.” “This pizza is baked in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, and the dough requires a 12- to 24-hour rest in the refrigerator before shaping. For best results, we recommend weighing the flour and water. Our winning brand of whole peeled tomatoes is Muir Glen. We prefer the rich flavor of whole milk mozzarella cheese; use a block cheese, not fresh mozzarella. Avoid pre-shredded cheese; it contains added starch (to prevent clumping) which gives the melted…

  • Harvest Bread with Poolish

    April 13, 2019Rob

    Ken states, “[This] bread has aromas that remind me of wheat fields at harvest. If you like, you can coat the proofing baskets with bran before placing the shaped loaves inside. The bran will adhere to the loaves and, when baked, will give the bread an extra degree of crunch. This recipe also works well without any bran in the dough. Either way, the poolish imparts a buttery flavor that marries well with the other ingredients.” Note: This recipe makes 2 loaves, each about 1 1/2 pounds, and is suitable for focaccia. Sample Schedule: Mix the poolish at 6pm, mix…

    February 23, 2019Rob

    NY Times recipe from Nick Fox who states, “We thought we’d landed upon the simplest yeast bread recipe in 2007, when Mark Bittman wrote about the no-knead approach of Jim Lahey, owner of Sullivan Street Bakery. It quickly became (and remains) one of our most popular recipes because it made bakery-quality bread a real possibility for home cooks. But then we heard about Jeff Hertzberg, a physician from Minneapolis, who devised a streamlined technique for a crusty loaf of bread. Mix flour, salt, yeast and water. Let it sit a bit, refrigerate it, take some out and let it rise,…

    Washington Post recipe from Becky Krystal who states, “If you’ve never baked bread before, you will especially love making this crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside riff on a traditional Italian focaccia — because it is simple and requires no kneading. The recipe makes enough dough for two loaves, because for the same amount of work, why not? Bake them both at once, or chill half of it for a later second loaf. You’ll need one or two 9-inch round cake pans with sides at least 2 inches tall. If you don’t have a baking stone, you can…

  • Japanese Milk Bread

    November 27, 2018Rob

    NY Times recipe from Julia Moskin who states, “When panko, Japanese bread crumbs, first appeared here, American cooks leaped to embrace their spiky crunch. (The first article about it in the New York Times appeared in 1998.) But how could breadcrumbs arrive from Japan, a land without bread? The answer is here, in the lofty, feathery white bread that is a staple at bakeries in Asia — and in Asian bakery chains like Fay Da and Paris Baguette. (Panko is often made from the heels of the loaf, called the “ears” in Japanese.) Milk bread was developed in Japan in…

It is simple to make, and results in crackly-soft flatbreads singed by heat and yielding to tenderness within, with a faint tang of yogurt. It is exactly the sort of thing you’d love to dip in a pool of curry again and again. Just set up an assembly line to roll out the dough and cook it in a hot pan. Once you make the…

It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.”
