(buns for) fish sandwich sliders
This is not a copycat recipe for the Filet-O-Fish, nor is it even a complete recipe for a homemade version of the famous fish sandwich, since I didn’t specify too much detail on how I bread and fry the fish fillets, nor did I offer a specific ingredient list for homemade tartar sauce that approximates…

bibingka
“Just eat it, otherwise they’ll feel bad.” That’s what a nun told me when I was offered some bibingka. I was about 8 years old. And that phrase stuck with me all these years whenever I see or think of bibingka. Even though I no longer have an aversion to it. I was an altar…

curried salmon chowder in bread bowls
Greetings! This is not related to this blog post, but I just wanted to let you know that I deleted my personal Facebook account. Can’t really get into the many reasons why I did this, only that I felt a huge weight has been lifted once I hit the delete button. It was time. Unfortunately,…

apple pull apart rolls
Greetings! As soon as I saw these pull-apart rolls on the King Arthur website, I wanted to make them. For the boiled cider used in their recipe, I instead substituted 4 cups of apple juice that I reduced to 1/2 cup. I couldn’t find apple cider anywhere in the grocery stores around me, for some…

ciabatta rolls
I first came across ciabatta bread like many Americans, through Jack in the Box. Then Costco. These are much better because you know exactly what is in them. I did not have regular milk powder, only malted milk powder, and they turned out fine. I also did not have a spray nozzle to mist water…

blueberry streusel bagels
While making the components for these, I really wasn’t sure how they’d turn out, or even if they’d turn out. But in the end, it all came together, and it was all worth it. I have to warn you though. You need to make a concentrated blueberry paste by slowly cooking 2 cups worth of…

garlic rolls
Greetings! I know garlic confit sounds a little fancy, but it’s basically slow cooking a bunch of peeled garlic cloves in oil in a 200 degree F. oven to bring out their sweetness as well as make them soft and spreadable. This takes about 2 hours in the oven, though, so if you’d rather not,…

cardamom coconut buns
It took me three tries, but I think I finally got these the way I want them to be. Third time’s the charm. The coconut for some reason really overpowers the vanilla, but not enough to cut it out completely. Enough to knock it out from the name, though. You see, initially I was just…

mantecadas
Yesterday, putting my own spin and interpretation on a recipe I saw online, I made what I thought were mantecadas. I was mistaken. I actually made very soft and dainty little yellow cake cupcakes. I was so happy with them! They were great, but they weren’t mantecadas. It wasn’t until later when I did more…
