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…

Pears, Nuts and Rye, Oh My
I voted for this recipe since I am still working my way through a bag of rye flour and I have been mostly happy with Dorie’s rye recipes. The title of this recipe really says it all but here are a few substitutions I made. I used only one pear since my husband is not…
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…
Baked-in-a-Skillet Gingerbread
I would have loved to try this in a skillet but I was traveling and taking this to-go so the springform pan worked better for me. This gingerbread cake is a wallop of flavors. It includes both all-purpose and whole wheat flours. Warm ingredients of molasses and brown sugar. Crystalized ginger a third of a…
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…
Fall Harvest Cake
This week’s recipe comes from Dorie’s newest cookbook Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Her chapters are very cute and this one comes from Cakes with Corners. After reading the ingredients, I knew my husband would love it as it included some of his favorites. Don’t let this ‘cake with corners’ fool you, it is quite complex. Lemon…
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….
