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…

I am so excited, yet nervous, for my first ever Saturday Market!!!!!! May 23 is coming quickly. I have gone over and over my baking schedule and prep timing in an attempt to not overwhelm myself. I want everything to be fresh and perfect. However, I know there will be some hiccups, and that’s ok. My menu will include: sandwhich loaves, English muffins, scones, bagels, cookies, tortillas, hamburger buns, cinnamon rolls, and cinnamon toast crunch cereal. I have a stockpile of frozen cookie dough making it easier to just bake and package them in time for the big day. Otherwise,…

Well, the key lime pie cake from last week was a huge success. This week, we are turning them into cupcakes! I halfed the recipe and used 195g of flour. I made the graham cracker crust first, baked it for a few minutes and then added the cake mixture. These were topped with buttercream frosting, graham cracker crumbs, and lime zest. So good! Pretzels have always been on my list of “must bake” items to try to perfect using fresh milled flour. I have made them in the past, but ended up with hard bricks. One of my favorite sourdough…
