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…

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…

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…

(pulla) finnish sweet cardamom bread
Cardamom is definitely my favorite ingredient. I know I say a lot of things are “my favorite” when I’m posting something with said ingredient, but this is for real. Just the scent makes me happy. I’d bathe in it if it wasn’t so dang expensive. I specifically don’t make stuff with it year round, but…

cinnamon cardamom rolls
This is it! Election Day! I made these yesterday, but still have three out of the four rolls to enjoy! I’m feeling pretty good, but ask me how I feel at 11pm when they still haven’t announced who won the election. I’m cautiously optimistic, though, and will try to hold on to that feeling for…

cinnamon roll loaf
This recipe was modified slightly from here. It makes one loaf of 8 rolls that are lined along the length of a tea cake pan, which is similar in volume to a 9 x 5 loaf pan. If you use a 9 x 5 pan, divide dough into 6 rolls instead of 8. The glaze…

blackberry cream cheese kolaches
Happy September! Hope you are doing well considering how 2020 is shaping up to be thus far! Hang in there! 😉 I made these three times. I wasn’t planning to, but somehow “third time’s the charm” always seems to apply whenever I’m trying out a new recipe. This utility pole with a “3” sign on…

rebanadas de mantequilla
I’ve been interested in doing a post on these for a few years now but lost interest when I couldn’t get it right, not once, but twice! Around two years ago, I twice didn’t give enough time for a loaf’s second rising, and as a result, each of the two loaves I made had a…

santa lucia buns (lussekatter)
The more I’ve learned about Santa Lucia Day in Sweden, and about saffron buns, and why they are called lussekatter, the more I am in awe of how traditions come to be. And how good these buns are with hot cocoa on a cold, dark, and rainy night! I remember the first time I made…
