Bake from Scratch

Classic Olive Oil Cake

Can't believe it has been a little over a year since I made my first olive oil cake.

English Muffin Loaf

One of my favorite magazines and websites is, Bake from Scratch. I love looking at the recipes.  I don't always try them though. Sometimes they feel a bit intimidating. This one, however, seemed very doable, and well, its bread.

The first cake I ever made, that was edible, was a pound cake. I saw this variation and just had to try it.

Gougères

I see choux pastry or pâte à choux and think those look delicious. I watch them made and think, hmmmm, can I do that? Here's where I find out by making Gougères, a savory version with cheese and herbs.

Hot Cross Buns

A Baking School Easter Bake with Bake From Scratch and Williams-Sonoma.

As an avid fan of the Great British Bake-Off, I've seen a Hot Cross Bun or two, so when it came up in Baking School, I had to try them.

Overcoming My Fear of Making Mille-Feuille

I love looking at and eating French Pastries. I read recipes. I marvel at baking shows where they whip them up but I have always been a bit hesitant to make them myself. Sure I have make croissants a time or two but anything else seemed ... intimidating. That is until now.

Shortcut Sourdough Boule

I am still determined to master sourdough bread.  So far I've only gotten one good starter and my bread was good but could be better.

Slice-and-Bake Holiday Confetti Cookies

It is holiday cookie baking season!  I am on it!

Traditional English Scones

A few years ago I made a goal of 'mastering' scones. Today, I am still working on it.
