I had big plans…. Summer is all about having fun, relaxing with your family, enjoying the weather, not having a to-do list. I, however, had big plans for the summer. It was gonna be my time to get back into blogging and baking, two of my favorite things. But summer had different plans for me,…

brioche braided bread with chocolate filling
I’m posting so many recipes using the brioche dough from BreadIn5’s holiday book. The dough really is *that* versatile. Being able to keep dough in the fridge for 5 days really is a game changer. When I don’t have to prepare dough every time I want to make cinnamon rolls, or this brioche wreath bread,…
pumpkin brioche doughnuts
Love me a good doughnut. In Portland we have several well-known bakeries that are all about the doughnuts. My kids love going to VooDoo Doughnuts with all their weird flavors.

baguettes
Oh my word. Why do I love bread so much? No matter what type of food choices I make, I have a hard time staying away from really good bread. It’s those dang carbs. And the smell. And the crackly crust.
no knead bread
Just the title of this recipe should make you jump for joy. Bread? Good. Don’t have to knead? Goooood. This reminds me of the Friends episode where Rachel is learning how to cook. She’s trying to make a trifle and ends up combining two recipes when the pages in the cookbook stick together. Ross thinks…
