I love me some granola. But, I don’t want a complicated recipe and, if it requires sourdough, I want to use left my over discard. I used this recipe this weekend and it checked both boxes: simple and discard approved. It was also nice because you can add whatever “fixings” you want to make it your own. I didn’t have chia seeds so I double up on flax seeds. Next time, I think I will leave out the white chocolates and add dried cranberries instead. I’ve got my third Saturday market coming up on 7/25. I am prepping like a…

I was hesitant to put blueberries in a cookie, but I did it anyways. Ha, Ha, Ha. It actually surprised me with how good these blueberry white chocolates cookie turned out. I used fresh blueberries in the swirl and feel like that made a huge difference. The cookies were almost like little cakes…moist, sweet, and full of flavor. I have been trying to really develop the gluten structure in my sandwich loaves. I sometimes rush the process and end up with under proofed loaves. What this means is that I need to keep the dough mixing for longer so the…

These cookies were really good! The browned butter with the pistachio cream in the center and the fresh milled flour were the perfect trifecta to a great cookie. Most definitely going to make these again. I made some mozzarella bagels this weekend and feel like my bagel recipe is perfect! Finally!!!! These bagels turn out soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. Every bite is delicious. We’ve come a long way baby.

Lord knows I have tried every way to shape a bagel. Poke, roll, twist, etc. The poke method works fine, but it doesn’t give that professional bagel look. The roll method is preferred, but I always would struggle with keeping the seams connected until the final bake. Usually, during the boil, the seam would fall apart. Well, I created a new technique called the “twist and seal”. Once you have your twisted/rolled bagel, bring the two ends together, pinch them together, and then twist the bagel just at that seam. Watch this video for reference. The end result was perfect.…

This week I wanted to play around with my cinnamon rolls. I found a new recipe that was similar to the one I typically use, but also a smidge different. Both recipes use a yudane, or tangzhong as well as a stiff starter. The new recipe uses brown sugar instead of granulated sugar and includes eggs. My usual recipe does not include eggs. I also had time to play around with rolling the cinnamon rolls differently. It’s always nice to play around with things! I made a whipped caramel sauce (melt 1 cup sugar on stovetop; add 50g butter; add…

Here we go again! What a blast! The second round at the market was awesome! We had all the usual goodies: English Muffins, Loaves of bread, tortillas, hamburger buns, cookies, cinnamon rolls, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, bagels, and scones. New to the market this round: Blueberry English muffins, everything bagels, chocolate chip scones, s’more cookies.

From start to finish, these beauties were a blast to make. Simple, yet challenging. I don’t fry a lot, so that was something different and exciting. I used this recipe from bakewithjamie.com. Have fun and try it out! I did a 1:1 conversion of the flour, using 425g of fresh milled flour in place of the AP flour in the recipe.

What a treat these ice cream bars were! I couldn’t find ladyfingers to make these a true tiramisu bar, so instead we turned them into Magnum ice cream bars. Easy to make and enjoyable to eat. I am ramping back up for my second market next weekend, 6/13/26. This weekends bakes will include regular English muffins, hamburger buns, double chocolate bagels, 4 loaves of bread, and more cookies! I attempted a S’mores cookie. The first iteration was my usual cookie dough base with dark chocolate chunks and marshmallows in the center. Then, I rolled the cookie dough in graham cracker…

I decided to attempt some blueberry English muffins. I used my usual fresh milled English muffin recipe. Instead of the 300g of milk, I used 150g of milk and 150g of blueberry juice. Then, during the stretch and folds, I added some dried blueberries. These turned out fantastic and I will be adding these to my Saturday market rotation. They are a bit sweet and are great with a dollop of butter. I found this recipe for double chocolate sourdough bagels and absolutely had to make them. I used my usual recipe for sourdough bagels , but instead of 500g…

Here’s what I baked and had on hand at the market: 80 individual cookies 40 scones-strawberry chocolate and blueberry lemon 42 English muffins 42 hamburger buns 42 tortillas 16 loaves of bread 39 bagels-8 blueberry; 7 strawberry; 12 asiago; 12 cinnamon crunch 24 cinnamon rolls 6 bags of cinnamon toast crunch What a great time! We ended up selling out of everything except 1 loaf of bread, 8 cookies, and some bagels! It was a successful first outing, in my opinion. For the next market, 6/13/26, I will make more Cinnamon Toast Crunch, scones, and cookies! Otherwise, the amount of…
