Rough Puff Pastry uses a complicated baking technique, but it is one of the best techniques you can have in your repertoire. This recipe is adapted from The Flavor Blender Blog. I have tried other recipes of rough puff pastry, and this one is the best. It produces a lot of puffed pastry (about 1½ pounds). So, break out your rolling pin and give it a spin in your mess.
Cracked Wheat Rolls is a recipe that has been our family’s Thanksgiving stable for years. It is an old recipe from my husband's family, but I have updated it. Every Thanksgiving, I make two batches, so we have extra rolls for hamburger buns and sandwiches.
Cocoa Gingerbread Cookie is a holiday favorite that I have been baking for over twenty years. It is one of the most requested cookies I make during the holiday season. This recipe is from one of my closest friends; she gave me this recipe to encourage me to bake gingerbread cookies. Cocoa Gingerbread Cookies have been a showstopper because of their taste and looks. I hope you give it a try in your mess.
Bagel bites, buns, or bombs are one of my favorite baked goods. I love this gimmicky pastry filled with a gooey, cheesy cream cheese filling. I was reluctant to make these because they sounded complicated. But, guess what, they are not, and they are a blast to bake. I love having them around the house. This recipe is adapted from King Arthur’s Baking Company’s Stuffed Bagel Buns which is a version of Milk Bar’s Bagel Bombs.
I make a lot of sourdough bread, and my favorite is my Three Day Sourdough Bread. Yet, I often do not have the time to make that bread. Whenever I want to make a loaf of sourdough bread in less time, I make this two-day sourdough recipe. It is a delicious bread and is quicker than many other sourdough recipes.
Milk Bread Dinner Rolls are a new bread dough that I recently started baking. I had heard about this Asian style of bread on social media, and it enticed me to start baking milk bread dinner rolls. Since then, these rolls have become a family favorite. It employs a technique that entails using a Tangzhong, which is a roux made of water, milk, and flour. The ratios of liquid to flour will differ depending on the recipe. This is a technique that is used throughout Asia to make soft and slightly sweet bread.
Flourless peanut butter cookie is a family favorite because they are a soft, salty, and peanut buttery cookie. It is a recipe found on Smitten Kitchen around Passover time a few years ago. It is not a Passover recipe per se, but it does not contain flour or a leavener. So it is my favorite cookie around Pesach or any other time of the year in my mess.
