No-Knead Crusty White Bread

If you did not get into the quarantine sourdough kick or have given up on your starter altogether, but still want all that delicious flavor, this is a great recipe for you.

I had too many blueberries and not a lot of time to eat them, so I went to the index of my King Arthur Baker’s Companion. I was about to go hiking over the weekend and I found that muffins might be just the ticket for car snacks and post-hike calories. This recipe is veryContinue reading “Classic Blueberry Muffins”

Ciabatta

I am pretty sure that at some point I have eaten ciabatta, but I am also pretty sure that it was used for a sandwich and I had never really looked too hard at a loaf. That being said, I decided that ciabatta would be the best option for a little picnic with pesto pasta.Continue reading “Ciabatta”

Zucchini Bread

I have started looking through the index of the King Arthur All-Purpose Baker’s Companion when I have extra ingredients. Turns out we are getting to summer around where I live and that means a lot of extra zucchini. I have never really been a fan of zucchini bread in the past so I had beenContinue reading “Zucchini Bread”

Spiced Peach Muffins

However, once everything was measured, the recipe was super easy, a couple of mixesContinue reading “Spiced Peach Muffins”

Ricotta Soufflé Pancakes

I just happened to have some left over ricotta. I think my boyfriend left it here after making some recipe, but we agreed that using it to make pancakes would be a great adventure. King Arthur Flour’s All-Purpose Baker’s Companion has a fantastic recipe. The book describes it as “unusually airy and lofty” and ethereal.Continue reading “Ricotta Soufflé Pancakes”

Recently, I decided to purchase the latest edition of the King Arthur (KA) Flour Baking Company’s The All-Purpose Baking Companion. Generally speaking, I love to just read cookbooks. I like the little snippets about the food — the history, the different variations, the stories. I also enjoy daydreaming about the different things I could make.Continue reading “Making a New Kind of Pancakes”

Review: Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza

I cannot count how many times I have made this pizza in the last couple months. The dish is so flexible in every way — which is exactly what I need when under a stay at home order. The King Arthur Flour Cheesy Pan Pizza has been a staple. The dough is made 12 –Continue reading “Review: Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza”

Review: Simple Blueberry Muffins

During the Stay at Home order in my state, I recently started ordering a home delivery veggie box. This has been invaluable for me. Not only am I eating more fruits and veggies, I also look forward to the box. It’s a bit like a mini Christmas morning every two weeks. Blueberries have been commonContinue reading “Review: Simple Blueberry Muffins”
