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…
Pizza Dough Secrets (WFMW)
Last week, I shared my tip for using parchment paper to get your pizza in and out of the oven. Then, it occurred to me that I haven’t shared my secrets for making homemade pizza dough. What good is a trick for transporting your homemade pizza if you don’t have a great recipe for the pizza dough?
Never fear… The recipe is here.
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.
