Confession: I have a teensy obsession with wheat thin crackers. These crackers are like dessert to me, and I give myself permission to overeat them because they’re classified as “healthy.” Unfortunately, eating half a box goes WAY beyond healthy. But that’s beside the point. I love the hint of sweetness. The salted top. The crispness. […]
Honey Yeast Rolls
I am so sorry I didn’t make these sooner! No matter how many different rolls Annie makes, she always comes back to these as her favorites–and now I know why! These rolls are perfection. They are simple to make and the results are out of this world. The perfectly crisp exterior gives way to a […]
Wheat Pita Bread
I love a piece of soft, flavorful pita bread. It’s the perfect palate for so many uses–sandwiches, dipping, baking into chips, munching. This recipe is so easy once you’ve conquered your intimidation of yeast, you’ll never want to go back to the store bought variety ever again. :) Whole Wheat Pita Bread recipe by annies-eats.com […]
Apple Cinnamon Bread
I need you to know I have a seriously love for all things apple cinnamon–candles, lotions, oatmeal, breads. This recipe fits perfectly into my idea of an amazing apple-cinnamon combination. I’m so glad I saw the recipe appear on both twopeasandtheirpod.com and browneyedbaker.com. I knew that meant it was a winner. I highly recommend you make this […]
Light Brioche Burger Buns
When I first saw these beautiful hamburger buns on Annie’s site, I knew they would be great. I put this recipe into my mental “to do” file, and I am SO GLAD I finally got around to trying it. Kevin and I both said they were the best hamburger buns ever. Simple to put together with […]
Challah Bread (Jewish Egg Bread)
Though this recipe has quite a few steps and take some time to prepare, it’s really not difficult. I mean, aside from the brute strength it takes to stir in 8 cups of flour into the wet ingredients to form the dough. Oh. my. word. That was a seriously workout. In any case, the pain […]
Homemade Whole Wheat Bread (with step by step photos!)
This post has been edited to add lovely photos detailing my every move as I take a lump of dough and create a loaf of deliciousness. I know I’ve posted a few bread recipes in the past, but this is the one I use a couple times a week. I have stopped purchasing store bought […]
Chocolate Banana Bread
I thought it was our secretary’s birthday. So I wanted to make her something chocolate-y and delicious. I came up with this little recipe. It was perfect. Except today wasn’t her birthday. In fact, this isn’t even the right season for her birthday. It’s in October. Got it. But I’m pretty sure she still appreciated the […]
Pappa al Pomodoro
This Tuscan bread and tomato soup is amazing. Perfect on a cold, rainy day like today. Made with common ingredients kept in my pantry, it was not difficult to through together and the final result had my husband saying he’d marry me all over again. :) I found this recipe on Annie’s Eats, and she […]
French Bread
With a bread machine on hand, this loaf of French bread couldn’t be any more perfect. Unbelievably soft on the inside. Perfectly crisp on the outside. You can’t beat it. For large (1 1/2 pound) loaf Ingredients 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp water 2 tsp margarine or butter, softened 3 1/4 cups flour 1 Tbsp […]
