I’ve seen so many pictures of beautiful Indian flatbread, or naan, on various blogs over the past few months. It just looked so good that…

Coconut Banana Bread
It seems that no matter how often I make banana bread, we always seem to have a few brown bananas hanging out on the kitchen…
Chocolate Cranberry Pumpernickel Scones
Last week (prior to my hand surgery) I did some baking while I still had the chance… I had taken a bit of a break over the holidays, and it was nice to get back in the kitchen!
I still had some of the pumpernickel flour I had ordered left in my pantry, so I decided to use it to make some scones. I really love the combination of chocolate and cranberries, so I went with that flavor combination. These scones are easy to make and taste fabulous topped with a smear of Nutella. They are best served right away, though, because I found that they dried out a bit after a day or two.
Chocolate and Cherry Pumpernickel Muffins
It’s no secret that I love baking. So, this year for my birthday, my parents got me a gift certificate for King Arthur Flour. And, I didn’t waste much time before I was scouring their website trying to decide what to order.
It honestly took me almost a week to figure out what I wanted to order… And, that’s not because there was nothing that I wanted. It was quite the opposite… I wanted to try everything all at once! Among the items in my cart were a few specialty flours, flavors, and even some fresh sourdough starter. And, as soon as the box arrived on my doorstep, I got started baking. Wouldn’t you?
One of the specialty flours that I ordered was the organic pumpernickel flour. Honestly, I’m not sure what led me to choose pumpernickel other than that I have never really used it before. Plus, I was already dreaming of the combination of chocolate and pumpernickel. Though I know it’s not traditional, I always love the soft pumpernickel breads made with dark cocoa and molasses. I had some dried sour cherries on hand, too, so I knew they would have to be worked into the recipe in one way or another.
Pumpkin Soda Bread
Yesterday, I planned to bake some whole wheat bread. When I went to the pantry to get out my spare bag of whole wheat flour,…
