My son was home for a visit so I used this opportunity to make the ‘labor of love’ Brioche Sticky Buns from Baking with Dorie. The recipe is a two day process since the brioche dough needs to rest overnight. Once the dough is chilled, it is pretty straightforward on making the buns. Roll out…

Trufflish Nuggets
This cookie is made in a food processor and includes whole skin-on almonds, unsweetened coconut, dark chocolate, cinnamon, sugar, and is glued together with some egg whites. All the ingredients are blitzed into a paste, then scooped and baked. I decided to go for broke on chocolate flavor and I used my Hershey’s Special Dark…
Clam Chowder Pie
Dorie’s idea to put clam chowder into a pie was spot on. We enjoyed this decadent dinner. This pie is packed full of ingredients: clams, bacon, celery, red bell pepper, garlic, peas and corn, scallions, dill, heavy cream, Old Bay Seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and eggs. I made a few substitutions, I did not have…
World Peace Cookies 2.0
We have made World Peace Cookies before, once from Dorie’s Cookies and once from Baking From My Home to Yours. These chocolate sable cookies are not only delicious but complex. Ingredients include all-purpose flour, rye flour, Dutch-processed cocoa (I used regular cocoa), butter (lots of it), brown and white sugar, pinch of cayenne which we…
Whole Wheat and Flax Daily Bread
While some people follow dry January, abstaining from liquor, I try and “abstain” from desserts which can be quite difficult when you’re in a baking group. What I do love is bread especially wheat bread with seeds and there is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread. Since we had just made White Bread…
Pistachio-Matcha Financiers
I am team cake when it comes to Financiers, Dorie labels them cookies. These pistachio-matcha financiers are the perfect green for the holiday season. These butter-laden cakes are sweetened with sugar, have all-purpose and whole wheat flour, pistachios for crunch and color, matcha powder for taste and color and 6 egg whites (and of course…
Cocoa-Cranberry Linzer Tart
We have made a few things similar to this dessert. We have made Cocoa Linzer Cookies from Baking Chez Moi and Thanksgiving Bars from Dorie’s Cookies. This is the first time we have made a linzer tart. The cocoa dough includes all-purpose flour and almond flour, cocoa and chopped chocolate. The filling includes fresh cranberries…
My Favorite Pumpkin Pie
Out of all the things we bake in this group I would say that pies are my weakest dish especially the crust. Rolling the dough and preventing the shrinkage in blind baking are still elusive to me. Since my crust shrunk I had extra filling enough to fill two 8 ounce ramekins, my husband wasn’t…
Custardy Apple and Kale Cake
This week’s selection comes from the Salty Side Up, of Baking with Dorie. She describes it as almost pudding, hum how intriguing. The recipe calls for an 8-inch springform but I only had a 9-inch one. I decided to use my 8-inch cake pan so the dish would be the right size. I didn’t want…
The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition
We are making bread this week on Tuesdays with Dorie. From her cookbook Baking with Dorie, she says this is the recipe to start with when beginning to make bread. I seem to only make bread when it is assigned and I don’t know why. This recipe was easy to follow and with good results….
